Just another day... FYI the tracker (Tractive) that Ava wears (she calls it her midlife crisis necklace 😆) was brilliant!

The off lead privileges may be restored when reliable recall is demonstrated... Watch this space 😂

So true!

Today isn’t a training day.

No drills.
No goals.
No fixing.

Just space.
Sniffing.
Letting the nervous system exhale.

Decompression isn’t lazy.
Days off aren’t setbacks.
They’re where learning actually settles.

A regulated dog isn’t always built by doing more, it’s built by knowing when to stop.

If your dog needs rest, give it.
If you need rest, take it.

That is the work.

As we start the New Year, I wanted to say a huge thank you to all of my lovely clients, their 🐕 and 🐈 for their continued support and trust . It truly means so much to me to be able to care for your furry friends😊. I am so grateful for the opportunity to do what I love!

Owing to this support I have been able to donate to Oxford Animal Sanctuary. After the loss of one of my beloved cats earlier this year, we turned to OAS and adopted a beautiful black kitten, we named him Salem but he has many nicknames owing to his very inquisitive nature!

This contribution wouldn't have been possible without you: I am so happy to be able to give something back on behalf of all the pets we care so deeply about.

Thank you again for trusting me with you beloved companions. I look forward to continuing to care for them in the year ahead.

Very useful advice for this coming chilly week! 🥶

It's going to be bitterly cold this week. With that in mind, we thought it would be a good time to share some essential tips on keeping our canine friends safe and warm this winter. 🥶

⛄ Wipe their paws, legs and tummy after a walk to remove any road salt/grit.

⛄ Check for snow between their toes, especially with long-haired dogs. The snow will compact between their toes, forming ice balls, which can be painful.

⛄ Don’t be tempted to allow your dog to walk across icy ponds or enter streams/rivers.

⛄ Make sure they are wearing a collar with an ID tag and keep those microchip details up to date.

⛄ Keep antifreeze out of reach of any animals and ensure you mop up any spillages.

⛄ Keep them wrapped up. Staffies, Greyhounds and other fine-coated breeds will feel the cold much more than the likes of Huskies and Malamutes.

⛄ Provide a high-visibility jacket or collar for those evening walks.

⛄ Remember, puppies, seniors and those with certain conditions, ie diabetes and arthritis, will feel the cold more than others. On freezing days, they may benefit from indoor exercise.

⛄ During the colder months, some dogs may be less active, so make sure you adjust their food intake accordingly to prevent weight gain.

⛄ Snow can be fun... Make sure your dog has a good recall before letting them off the lead.

Together, we can keep our canine friends safe this winter. ❄️
