I apologise if things are a little quiet over the next few weeks here.

Sadly I had a family bereavement over the weekend and I now need some time process it and to be with my family.

Thank you for your understanding.

Meet Trækul and her son Bertie, both behaving impeccably.
I'm grateful to return to clients as they welcome new pets to their homes.
This week, we reviewed Trækul’s training now her maternal responsibilities have concluded.
She’s preparing to become a school Therapy dog.
Her assessment is very soon, so we are just making sure she’s ready.
And also I checked how Bertie’s foundation skills are coming along, which he’s of course excelling at ⭐️

Do you ever see people walking their dogs and wish you had a perfect dog, just like theirs?

Believe me, it’s not always as it seems

🟡That perfect dog might be offlead on the beach, because he pulls so much on lead he nearly chokes himself to death

⚫️That perfect dog maybe with their owner because if left at home he destroys the house

🟡That perfect dog maybe walking in the town because they can’t drive to nice open places because it struggles with travel sickness in the car

⚫️That perfect dog maybe walking onlead because otherwise they steal other dogs tennis balls and won’t give them back

🟡That perfect dog might be out for a walk early because it barks until the owner takes them out

⚫️Or a family are out walking on the beach without their dog because he over reacts around other dogs

There is no perfect dog, they all have their quirks.

So look for the positives in your dog, I bet there’s more than you think.

Happy a good day 🐾🐾

I’m afraid dog professionals do not have magic wands.

You do need to do your research, listen, practise your homework , learn to understand what your dog is doing and keep them safe.
As we really do want your dog to fit into your family and be happy.

Have a good day folks ☺️

It can be quite a shock to the system, bringing home a puppy when you haven’t had one for many years.

Meet Yogi the cocker spaniel who I went to visit yesterday.
She’s definitely keeping her owners on their toes, as well as the other older resident dogs.

When you have elderly dogs in the household with a puppy, management is needed so both parties can have some much needed rest and sleep.

We looked at some of the basics that can be so important to start now, whilst they are still too young to go out for walks.
Just think, if you start the lead walking in the house and garden when a puppy is this age (10 weeks old), how much more prepared are they once they can go out for a walk in a few weeks time.

I can’t wait to see Yogi and her owners again in a few weeks to see how they’re progressing.
(Saying that, I know they’ve had some wins already and I only visited 24 hours ago) ☺️

Do you dream of the perfect dog?

🐶 For them to walk nicely on the lead

🐶 Settle down in their bed when asked

🐶 Come back when called whilst on a walk

🐶 To greet visitors calmly

But you haven't the time to spare to join training classes.
Why not contact me for some 1-2-1 training instead.
I can fit around busy life styles and family commitments.

Some great ideas here, as it can be a real struggle with Some dogs.

PILL PARANOIA
Some stress free ideas to help the medicine go down.

There’s a time in most of our dogs’ lives that they need to take medication for some reason.

With some dogs it’s a simple solution of hiding it in some food and it’s all done.

A small percentage of dogs will just happily swallow whatever is presented to them.

Then there are the dogs that instantly become professional drug detectors and just know there is a foreign substance being concealed, no matter how delicious or smelly the substance it’s hidden in.

They will happily gulp down the food it’s hidden in while simultaneously spitting out the now gooey and melting medication. It really is an amazing talent!

Some dogs will just flat-out refuse to eat anything that conceals the vile thing.

We might keep trying, experimenting with all sorts of enticing, culinary delights, adding far too many calories and unhealthy options, but all to no avail.

If no matter what you try, your dog is still an expert drug detector, you will have to resort to more stressful methods – a pill gun or asking your vet to show you how it’s done, but hopefully some of the ideas in this post will be successful.
