Once upon a time there was an area that was just waiting for the opportunity to shine.

After a bit of consideration a plan developed and it became an area where dogs can get some downtime, relax, build confidence and simply enjoy

It is always important that the dogs that visit feel safe and have things which they enjoy exploring-this all needs to be with the dogs in mind-and while the new colours are irrelevant to the dogs it does help welcome the people who bring their dogs

If you would like to visit with your dog, follow the link, it would be lovely to see you and your dog!

Let the scentsory adventure for your dog begin!

I have some special offers available in June- there will be some specially reduced sessions at only £15 -message for more details and
social walks are resuming.
If you have a reactive dog that needs supportive and safe group to walk with please message or send a WhattsApp 07910 720961

Have you ever heard of a hedonic budget?
In the case of our dogs it is the balance between how our dogs spend their lives between pleasureable / intrinisically rewarding activities and necessary daily activities

It is important that our dogs feel joy in their lives-it is not just about routines even though many of those things are essential to life

This is where enrichment fits nicely into a dogs life ~~~~ but enrichment should not be confined to toys which are bought from pet shops or Amazon.
Dogs are far too intelligent to be invested for very long in a toy they can solve in under 30 seconds

They need more

~Environmental enrichment

~Exploroing

~Using their noses

~Movement

In fact all the things that bring joy into their lives

This is why areas that are set up specifically for dogs are SO important

If you are not sure about what an appointment would involve do call me. I can help you to understand why a session would be valuable for your dog

The better weather is definitely on its way.

It doesn't really matter to the dogs but it does make a difference to us

Areas where you can observe your dog-especially areas of interest where they are encouraged to move with thought and explore can tell us a lot about how they are feeling
Things we miss

It's easy to miss things but its important to our dogs that we eventually do catch up

They mask things, they may be reluctant to step up onto even small platforms or move with care around places that are not completely even or they may be disinclined to move from light into dark or vice versa

Gathering information is invaluable as you can keep a diary as can any canine professional which will help if you spot any problems which you feel your dog is struggling with - these can then be presented in a concise way to a vet

Never ignore information when it is easy to see

This is a few photos I took of my own dog on Sunday-he is not moving as fluently as he normally does-at 16 this is not surprising but when our dogs health is at stake we need to keep be on top of any information that is available

This is one of the things that I can help you check when you book a session

If you need more information about enrichment sessions, advice on behaviour/ or training or help with asssesing your dogs movement these are all part of the services I provide

Many of the dogs that visit have specific difficulties

Some may be anxious around dogs or people, or both. Some may have other anxieties like sensitivity to visual things or noise sensitivities

Some may be old and just like a bit of peace and quiet and some are young/ adolescent and learning how to navigate the world

Along with all of this there are so many reasons why providing enrichment in a specialised area is of huge benefit

This girl is on her second visit-she can be anxious and had a negative start with both people and dogs and dislikes things moving around her.

She popped out of the car with only one thing on her mind -which was to explore

It was Twoey's turn to visit

Easter time has a lovely vibe, especially when the sun shines ---and after it is lovely to spend time curled up with a duck!

Happy Easter!

Movement is important for dogs

But-there is a specific type of movement which enhances the lives of dogs
It is not running or fast games-they can be included in a dogs life but not to the exclusion of every other type of movement

Dogs are like us as they age-they need to engage the muscles and use the senses more than ever

Use it or lose it

It is not always true that dogs love chasing after balls, birds or enjoy fast games. The body is very good at releasing the right hormones for the activity or experience that they are involved in-then there is learnt behaviour---the dog that is so obsessed balls that they can't relax
We are doing them a major disservice if balls are your dogs life

Fast movement makes the body and brain release adrenaline-but none of us-humans or dogs should be high on adrenaline for long periods of time
Adrenaline over rides pain and causes the body to move in ways that cause further damage.
This is not joyous it is dangerous to the body.

As every body ages there are activities that are needed to preserve health and wellbeing
Exercise that includes
Calling on balance

Proprioception

Making sure the visual, auditory, proprioception and interception combine to produce a feeling of wellbeing and accomplishment

This is where enrichment is king

The following pictures are all examples of a dog using his natural senses and employing mechanical and physical skills which enhance wellbeing

It's slow, because this is how dogs learn how to use their bodies and it reminds and retrains and forms new neural pathways -its never too old to learn and a dog is never too old to use their bodies
But a body may be too damaged to accomplish these things if there has been a life time of running, chasing, jumping and holding a ball tight in their jaws
Jaw clenching to hold a ball and the fact their mouths are held open by a rapidly damaged TMJ (the joint in the jaw) can't always be "fixed"

More dog centred activities will keep your dog by your side for longer-----and isn't this what we all want?

Message me for more details-I can advise you on many things including how to help your dogs posture and wellbeing

The thing about the weather is that the dogs don't mind


If we give them dog centered activities they are happy

As dogs age, just like us. they need exercise that includes proprioception and activities that keep them mobile

Exploring, using their senses and just being together with us is perfect for them on a rainy day
