🎂🥳Happy 7th Birthday our handsome boy.

And what a 7 years it has been… from a Guide Dog in training, 🦮 to the big brother to 3 crazy sisters sorry about that , but you’ve cared for them all equally… to a Conservation Detection Dog, where you are excelling.

Thanks for all the loving over the years, We love you. ♥️♥️♥️

When ‘normal’ is enough 🫶🏻

We recently had the pleasure of meeting Misty and her dedicated owner.

Misty is a lovely 9 month old cavoodle, absolutely typical of her age, full of life and chewing! 😁

Implementing management strategies and enrichment, including scent games, enabled Misty to have appropriate outlets for her energy⚡️

Misty’s owner has done a great job and we reassured her that Misty’s behaviour is absolutely normal for her age and mix of breeds 👌🏻

Often, this validation makes all the difference and can be the most important part of the consultation 🙏🏻

There can be lots of conflicting information out there and there are plenty of ‘experts’ willing to offer an opinion (or ten) but, unsurprisingly, we are yet to find any formal qualifications amongst them 😉

Good girl Misty! ❤️
