Trying to survive BBQ season like Charlize Theron (Apex) avoiding absolute chaos 😎 Go!!!

Remember heat affects more than just walks.
BBQs, visitors, excited kids, noise, changing routines and “just one more drink” energy can be a LOT for dogs too 😅
A shady quiet escape route, fresh water and a bit of breathing space can make all the difference ❤️

Sharing this free webinar for anyone living with or supporting a rescue dog, or just struggling with your own dogs behaviour.

Living with a rescue dog can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also come with challenges that many guardians feel unprepared for.

Fear, anxiety, sound sensitivity, hypervigilance, shutdown behaviour, or reactivity are often rooted in past experiences and emotional overwhelm. Understanding why your rescue behaves the way they do is the first step towards helping them feel safer and more secure.

In this 60 minute live webinar, I will help you better understand:

• Common emotional and behavioural challenges in rescue dogs
• Body language and early signs of stress
• Fear, anxiety, and trauma responses
• How to reduce stress and build confidence
• Ways to support your dog using ethical, force free methods

There will also be a live Q&A where attendees can ask questions about their own rescue dog’s individual needs.

Whether your dog is newly adopted or you are still navigating challenges months or years later, this webinar is designed to help you feel more informed, reassured, and supported.

There are only 40 spaces available so please secure a place quickly, the last webinar booked up within 7 days!

Turns out soft play isn’t just for toddlers 😆

Yesterday Peps the Staffy tackled the ball pit and obstacle course like an absolute pro, while today Tom and Eve had their turn exploring.

I really liked that the equipment was padded and non-slip too, which meant even the older dogs could move around confidently and have a go at their own pace ❤️

Loads of sniffing, climbing, and exploring. A really fun enrichment activity and lovely to watch the dogs growing in confidence as they figured things out for themselves.

Here’s my young dog Tom, taking today’s physio very seriously 🙂
It’s taken a few short sessions for him to understand the FitPaws pods and confidently target them with both front feet, but he’s getting the idea now 💙 Sarah Edge Chartered Physiotherapist and ACPAT Physiotherapist He's finally got it! 🎉
