Heres a fabulous short video explaining what happens for dogs when they smell.

Well worth a watch.

That’s true! I regularly get told “I can’t believe how well behaved and calm your dogs are”.

It’s years of learning, the ability to read dogs, knowing them well enough to know who will be happy with who in groups and knowing how to create a happy, calm environment for each individual dog meeting their unique needs.

Such lovely snuggles this afternoon. I wish I’d videoed Eddy too but I didn’t want to disturb him snuggling me so closely ❤️

Blackberry foraging is a fantastic activity to do with your dog.

Blackberries contain antioxidants and vitamin C. They make a lovely healthy treat for most dogs in small amounts.

Some dogs get very good at picking their own, although I usually pick a few for them too. 🐾

When I started walking Siggy in September 2021 she tentatively paddled. Over the next two years she started experimenting with how the water felt against her body and taught herself to swim with me cheering her on from the riverbank. And look at her now! As soon as I realised how much she loved splashing, I cued it with “go splash” and splashing is now our favourite activity 🤣❤️💦🐾

Nata still feels too anxious to take treats on walks but she enjoys choosing her own treats when she gets home. Sometimes she gallops off to hide the first treat before coming back to choose a second one.

Yesterday she chose two then broke them into pieces in the nearby rooms to eat later. As if she was planning her own scatter feeding game.

She also made her first ever direction choice confidently yesterday too. She usually finds choosing hard, but the fact she confidently made a choice shows me her confidence is still slowly growing.

All these tiny steps make a huge difference to Nata’s wellbeing over time.

When I think about where she started on 10 minute walks and so anxious she pulled like a steam train to now being off lead and making her own choices is remarkable. I’m so proud of her ❤️
