Love this little dog. She has had a trip to our local deli early, helped with a training client, loads of fuss and fun and now having contented snoozes!

If the hot weather means you're doing less with your dog, you can feed them less until normality resumes!

Does your dog walk you... or do you walk your dog?

A loose lead isn't just about making walks easier. It's about creating a dog that chooses to stay with you because they want to—not because they're being forced to. One thing I worked super hard on with Louie. Small video below.

Here are my 3 reasons to teach loose lead walking using positive training:

🐾 Enjoy Stress-Free Walks

No more pulling, arm ache, back pain or frustration. Your walks become calmer, more enjoyable, and something both you and your dog look forward to.

❤️ Build a Stronger Bond

When you reward your dog for staying close, they learn that paying attention to you is worthwhile. This creates trust, teamwork, and a dog that naturally wants to stay connected. This makes other training easier.

🌍 Give Your Dog More Freedom

A dog that can walk calmly on a loose lead is welcome in more places, can enjoy longer walks, and is much easier to take on days out, holidays, and adventures together. 

Loose lead walking isn't about keeping your dog tight by your side every second. It's about teaching them to make good choices and enjoy walking with you on a loose lead, beside, infront or behind you.

If you'd like help teaching your dog to walk calmly on a loose lead using kind, reward-based training, join us at our follow on classes or get one to one support. Get in touch with Sarah's Pawsome Dog Retreat and Training on 07921 561606 or [email protected] for more information 🙂

RECALL!!
If your dog ignored you today, would they still come back if their life depended on it?

A reliable recall is one of the most important skills your dog will ever learn. It could prevent an accident, stop them chasing wildlife, or simply give them the freedom to enjoy off-lead adventures safely.

There are 3 recalls every dog should know:

🐾 1. The Everyday Recall
The one you use on walks, in the park, at home, at training and during play. It should be fun, rewarding, and something your dog loves responding to, could be food or a game with the favourite toy they bring back or magically appears from you.

🚨 2. The Emergency Recall
A special cue used only when it really matters (often our voice changes when we're panicked so use this type of voice). If your dog is heading towards danger, this cue should mean, "Turn around immediately and race back for the best reward ever!"

❤️ 3. The Voluntary Check-In
Teach your dog to choose to come back and check in with you throughout a walk. Dogs that regularly reconnect with their owners are far less likely to disappear into the distance.

The best recall isn't built in a weekend. It's built through consistent practice and rewarding your dog for making the right choice—for life.

If you'd like help creating a recall you can truly trust, get in touch with Sarah's Pawsome Dog Retreat and Training on 07921 561606 or [email protected]. I can't wait to help you!

The question every dog owner should ask before booking boarding...

"Will my dog ever be left alone?"

At Sarah's Pawsome Dog Retreat and Training, the answer is no.

We're proud to be a 5 ⭐️ licensed home boarder, and one of our promises is that dogs in our care are never left alone.

When dogs are left unattended in an unfamiliar environment, there are risks, including:
🐾 Stress and anxiety.
🐾 Injury or sudden illness with nobody there to help.
🐾 Fire, flooding or other household emergencies.
🐾 The risk of theft.

Your dog deserves constant care, companionship and supervision while you're away. That's why every dog staying with us is treated as part of our family, with someone always there to keep them safe, happy and comfortable.

Before booking any home boarder, don't be afraid to ask the question:
"Will my dog ever be left alone?" (and of course are they licensed and insured and check they are in date)

If you're looking for genuine home-from-home boarding where your dog always has company, we'd love to welcome them.
