We bought a harness having tried it at a dog show for our puppy Lab. The impact was instant and made learning to heel and walk calmly for Nemo a clear cut experience. The harness can be adjusted too so we avoided having to buy multiple expensive harnesses as he bulked out.
Nemo loves the water (by name and by nature) and because this harness doesn’t cover him and is just flat straps, he can swim freely and then dries off without a change of harness.
We have since recommended this to many friends and family who have dogs who are equally delighted as we are.
Thank you for such a useful product which helps owners and dogs alike. We will be buying more soon!

Took a weekend away to carry on with the swimming nonsense!! Rutland Water, fantastic swimming excellent water quality, until I was sick mid swim, turns out sports gels don't really agree with me😆it was very choppy and that with an annoying wetsuit and it really being to warm for a wetsuit,it was a bit of a disaster in the fight to get faster but all swims good or bad are a learning opportunity and as the saying goes "its the taking part that matters"
On the upside we discovered which is an outstanding site, so much room and facilities second to none, I would highly recommend especially if you have dogs.
First time to Rutland as well and can't wait to go back..

🦴 Why Chewing Is One of the Best Things Your Dog Can Do! 🐶

Have you ever wondered why dogs love chewing so much? It's not just because they're trying to destroy your favourite slipper! Chewing is a completely natural behaviour that plays an important role in your dog's physical and mental wellbeing.

Here are some of the amazing benefits of giving your dog a safe, natural chew or bone:

🦷 Supports Healthy Teeth
Chewing helps scrape away plaque and tartar from your dog's teeth, which can reduce bad breath and promote healthier gums.

🧠 Provides Mental Stimulation
Dogs need to exercise their minds just as much as their bodies. Working on a chew keeps them engaged, relieves boredom, and gives them a rewarding challenge.

😌 Helps Reduce Stress and Anxiety
Chewing releases calming endorphins, making it a fantastic way to help dogs relax. It can be especially useful during thunderstorms, fireworks, or when they're left alone for short periods.

💪 Satisfies Natural Instincts
Dogs have an instinctive need to chew. Providing appropriate chews allows them to express this natural behaviour safely instead of turning to your furniture, shoes, or children's toys!

⚡ Burns Energy in a Calm Way
A good chew session can leave your dog feeling mentally satisfied and pleasantly tired, making it perfect after a walk or during quiet evenings at home.

🐾 Great for Puppies
Puppies going through teething often find relief by chewing suitable chews, helping soothe sore gums while teaching them what they're allowed to chew.

Choosing the Right Chew

✔️ Always choose a chew that's suitable for your dog's size, age, and chewing strength.
✔️ Supervise your dog while they're enjoying a chew.
✔️ Remove any small pieces that could become a choking hazard.
✔️ Always provide fresh drinking water.

Every dog is different, so finding the right chew may take a little trial and error—but once you discover their favourite, you'll have a happier, more content companion.

💬 Tell us below: What's your dog's favourite chew? Is it a natural bone, antler, yak chew, coffee wood, or something else? We'd love to hear their favourites (and maybe see a photo too)! 📸🐕
