WAGGY WALKS - The social club of the canine world. Come along for a relaxed dog social outing, enjoy a drink whilst your dog makes some new friends.

Saturday the 10th of September 1pm at Chasewater, Brownhills. We will meet at 1pm at the car park at the main visitor centre where there is plenty of parking at a small cost.
The social walk is for social dogs and numbers will be limited.

What's included-

🐾Perfect opportunity to socialise your dog to the big wide world!
🐾 Free hot drink at a cafe (limited to 1 per dog)
🐾 Learn how to teach a new trick! Each walk we will be teaching an entirely new trick to add to your dogs toolbox.
🐾Ideal opportunity for people/dogs to practise their 'settles/chill outs'
🐾All dogs will receive a tasty natural treat
🐾Ask us anything! Q&A with Kate (Chase Canines) and Kit (Through the Dog's eyes) We will be available to answer all of your behavioural questions about the dog world.

The cost is just £10 per dog! What a bargain.
Want to grab a place? Then please email us at [email protected] or call/text Kate on 07519 642041 or Kit on 07572 910367

*Please note- Having your dog off lead is at your discretion and is your responsibility as this is not a training class environment. If you choose to have your dog off lead then they must be under full control as some dogs on the walk will be on the lead and will not want an off lead dog running up to them.

Yesterday was a mixed bag of emotions as it was my last day of work before I go on maternity leave. I've had some lovely cards and gifts from my amazing customers - thank you so much 🥰

I have grown very fond of your dogs and will miss them terribly. I would like to thank you all for giving me the opportunity to get to know them and also help out with their training - it has been an absolute pleasure.

I will keep you updated on when Hollydogs re-opens, should you wish to use me again in the future.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your loyal custom and for helping to make Hollydogs the success it has been 🙂🐶

Willow, Bella and Donut all started out with me as puppy home visits when they were tiny. It's been great getting to know them all and partake in their training, and what's amazing is that they are now going on group walks together with me.

I carefully select dogs for group walks, taking into account size, age and temperament to ensure that everyone enjoys the walk. These three go well together and have a great time.

Here is a little video of a recall. I like to know that I am able to recall all dogs to me in one go when required, for obvious safety reasons. It's super cute watching these girls run towards me 😍

This little cutie pie is Bruno.

He is a rescue from Bosnia, currently in Foster care and looking for his forever home.

He is a bit of a complicated little soul and doesn't trust new people easily, but once you are part of his gang you are a member for life.

I first met Bruno a few months ago and he was very worried by me at first, which he showed by barking, lunging and growling at me. He was simply scared and this was the best way he knew to try and keep me away.

Through lots of time and patience, never pressuring him but listening to his subtle signs that he was not comfortable and responding accordingly, we have now got to the stage where I can enter his home without any of his humans being around, put a lead on him and take him out for a walk. This might not seem like a lot, but it is a big achievement for us.

Bruno is a lovely chap, loves a game of ball and responds well to training (he is a big foodie too!). I really hope he is able to find his forever home soon, with humans who understand his needs.

There's a new kid on the block this week, by the name of Jasper. Isn't he cute!?

Jasper is taking advantage of my twice a day puppy visits to give his Dad a well-deserved break. Of course I'm happy to oblige 😁

Time to celebrate 🎉 🥂

Three weeks ago I went down to London for a 2-day assessment (practical and theoretical) to become a qualified dog trainer with IMDT. This afternoon I received the email I had been waiting for - I passed with flying colours - woohoo!

Now I will become an IMDT registered dog trainer which is great news for Hollydogs Pet Services and Through the Dog's Eyes

I am committed to furthering my knowledge and ensuring that I am providing the best possible services for my clients. That is why I believe in continued professional development. Behavioural science is always evolving and it is important that we keep up-to-date with it.

A big thank you to everyone who has supported me in this journey, especially my 4-legged clients who are always teaching me new things 😉

📢📣🎉🎊 WOO HOO! SHE'S PASSED!!📢📣🎉🎊

🐶SHE'S A BONA FIDE ACCREDITED DOG TRAINER! 🐶

🥂Massive congratulations to Sarah who found out today that she has passed her IMDT assessments and has qualified as a Dog Trainer! The course consisted of theoretical, practical and written assessments designed to showcase the students knowledge and experience - it was tough!🥂

Sarah works hard to ensure that she keeps up to date in this very fast moving area of science, it certainly keeps people on their toes as methods and knowledge change so quickly.

Through The Dog's Eyes are very happy to now have a qualified Dog Trainer 💜

Welcome to the Hollydogs gang Phoebe!

How gorgeous is this little girl!? She is joining me for walk and train where we will be working on focus around other dogs and people, both of which are super exciting to a young pup, as well as some general training.

A year ago this week saw the launch of Hollydogs Pet Services, something that had been in the pipeline for many years. I am very proud of how the first year has gone and would like to thank everyone who has helped to make Hollydogs a success.

Happy Hollyversary

As a thank you, my regular customers this week received a card, a personalised mug and some yummy treats for their furry friends.

Thank you once again to all of my wonderful customers. I have loved getting to know your dogs, who are all so different, and look forward to many more adventures with them.
