I’m absolutely hooked on this show at the moment. I can highly recommend, proving dogs are way better at the job than helicopters 🚁

🐾 Want calmer walks? Start before the walk even begins.

Your dog’s walk starts the moment you pick up the lead or harness — not when you step out of the door.

For many dogs, that’s when the excitement begins! The harness comes out, the energy rises, and suddenly we’re dealing with all those big emotions before we’ve even taken a step. 😅

So today, our rehearsal wasn’t actually about walking.

It was about putting the harness on… and taking it off.

That’s it.

Because sometimes we need to break things right down and practise the individual pieces without adding the pressure of the whole event.

I didn’t have access to the client’s home today, so we worked with what we had and rehearsed the harness routine in the field.

No rushing.
No finding fault.
Not expecting perfection.

Just practising.

The more we rehearse these little moments, the more familiar and uneventful they become. And that’s exactly what we want — the harness going on to become boring!😂

It’s not about taking the joy out of the walk or suppressing your dog’s excitement. It’s about helping them learn that these exciting moments can be handled calmly.

And remember, you’re a team. 💕

Rehearse your parts, observe what works for both of you, and make adjustments along the way.

Don’t wait for the perfect walk to practise. Practise the pieces that make up the walk.

Small rehearsals can make a BIG difference. 🐾

🚨 **Big News! The team is growing!** 🚨

After a thorough recruitment process (and absolutely no interviews), I'm delighted to introduce our newest team member! 🎉

Meet our **Head of Pram Operations and Puppy Navigation**. Her role is highly specialised: helping dogs master the art of walking calmly beside a pram, negotiating tricky doorways, tight corners, and all the little challenges that come with family life.

Dolly never complains, never calls in sick, and is happy to sit through every training session without a fuss. Admittedly, she's not much help with the paperwork, but her dedication is second to none.

The four-legged members of our classes have already been putting her through her paces, and she's proving to be an invaluable addition to the team.

Welcome aboard! 👶🐾 Don't worry… she's only here to help train the dogs! I’m not able to retire just yet. I might even cut the tags off that pram if she passes her probationary period 😁

Well I always come through on my promises, but luckily I had help with this one!

Cefn Lowri AKA Lily had a beautiful pie from a Cefn Fforest Bakery called The Cottage Loaf.
