🎃 Who’s been preparing their pumpkins this year? 🎃

Pumpkin isn’t just for pies, it’s a fantastic superfood for dogs too! It’s full of fibre, which helps keep digestion running smoothly and can settle both loose stools and constipation. That extra fibre also helps your dog feel fuller for longer, which can be really helpful if they’re watching their weight or always on the hunt for snacks! 🐾

Another bonus, pumpkin can even help discourage dogs that like to eat poo (yep, it’s a thing!). Adding a little pumpkin to their meals can make their food more satisfying and reduce the urge.

Don’t forget the pumpkin seeds either! When blended into a fine powder or paste, they can work as a gentle, natural dewormer thanks to a compound called cucurbitacin. Just make sure the seeds are plain, unsalted, and properly ground before serving. 🌱✨

As always, moderation is key, too much pumpkin can upset their tummy. A spoonful or two (depending on your dog’s size) is plenty! 💛

👉 Have you made any pumpkin treats for your dogs this year? I’d love to hear what you’ve made, share your ideas below! 🎃👇

🎄 The Grinch Has Stolen Christmas! 🐾

The Grinch has struck again this year, with mischief dark and strong,
He’s stolen every Christmas gift and turned them into Kong!
The elves have sent a warning note, their bells now full of dread,
“Call the sniffer dogs at once, before the joy is dead!”

Come all ye brave sniffer dogs, come sniff both near and far,
We need your noses working hard to find where the presents are.
Each Kong you find will change right back, the magic will renew,
So Christmas morning can return, all thanks to pups like you!

The halls are decked, the cakes are set, the people gather round,
Each pup will take their turn to search, the lost gifts must be found!
The Grinch is laughing in the halls, he thinks that he has won,
But every wagging tail below will show him Christmas fun!

So come, dear pups, with wagging tails, let’s chase the Grinch away,
And bring the Christmas spirit back in time for Christmas Day!

So mark the date, December sixth, a Saturday so fine,
It all begins from ten a.m., come let your noses shine!
Just £25 to join the fun, each dog will have their turn,
Come fancy dressed, bring cakes to share, and prizes you could earn!
To book, just drop me a message, don’t miss this festive day,
Our sniffer dogs will save Christmas in the most amazing way!

The moment of realisation that you have been caught doing something you shouldn't be

22/10/2025

“I don’t have time to train my dog.”

Alright, but how many cups of tea or coffee do you have a day? ☕

The kettle takes about 2–5 minutes to boil. That’s 2–5 minutes of golden training time right there.

While you’re waiting, instead of checking your phone (or scratching your arse 😆), grab a few treats and have a quick go at something fun, a bit of focus work, a trick, or even just some calm waiting by your side.

Do that every time you boil the kettle, and by the end of the week you’ll have done more training than most people do in a month, and all without changing your routine.

So here’s a thought 👇
Next time you pop the kettle on, what are you and your dog going to practise?

Drop it in the comments, let’s see what everyone’s working on while the brew’s brewing! 🐶☕💪
