Received an invoice paid a few days early, what did I do???? I still need the money for my own bills and expenses but donated it all to a number of different animal charities. They just kept popping up and I was like 'oh no, poor babies. I can help'. I now have zero money, but feel good and hopefully it's made a small difference to those charities who work so tirelessly for those beautiful souls who've been shat on by humans and just need a chance to find their next chapter 🐾

We're at Cator Park Dog Fete today with Louise Otter Dog Behaviour helping out at her stall. It's been a brilliant day so far. We've seen some amazing dogs giving our agility course a go. Everyone has had so much fun.

Louise runs Puppy School in Penge on Monday evenings at St John's Church; and at weekends at Palace Dog School at St Joseph's Infant School, SE19 3NX.

Every Saturday and Sunday at the same location, you'll find other fabulous classes which all take place outdoors; Bronze Scentwork, Recall, Calm and Controlled and Beginner Agility.

If you're interested in coming to any of her upcoming classes, please pop over to the website where you can book yourself in. You can also book a 15 minute call with Louise to discuss your options if you're interested.

NATIONAL DOG DAY 🐾❤️

Today is a day to celebrate every dog who has touched our lives — those beside us now, those we’ve loved and lost, and those still waiting for their forever home.

I’m lucky to have so many wonderful dogs in my life through my work, whether through training, walks or pet sitting. I’m also thinking of the dogs I no longer see, and the families whose circumstances have changed.

But most of all, I’m thinking of the dogs I’ve lost. I still grieve for them, and each taught me something that has made me a better person, dog guardian and trainer. ❤️

I’m incredibly lucky to still have my beautiful Sascha, now 12. I rescued her from Romania at around four months old. She’s still fearful of many things, but she has come such a long way, and I couldn’t be prouder of her. 🐾

And then there’s my beautiful Marley. I lost him in January, aged 12 years and 4 months, to an aggressive cancer. He was my everything. Our home will never feel quite the same without him, and the space he left in my heart never will be filled. 💔

So today, hug your dog a little tighter. Treasure the time you have. And spare a thought for the dogs who aren’t as lucky — the ones still waiting for the love, safety and life they deserve.

Happy National Dog Day, to every dog who has ever owned a piece of our hearts. 🐾❤️

Brilliant article explaining the importance of canine enrichment and more importantly sniff walks. I always recommend these to my clients, not just of your dog is anxious or needs to build it's confidence. They learn so much about their environment. It's your dogs walk, so please let them stop and sniff. Do not be one of those owners on your phone, paying zero attention to your dog and dragging them down the street whenever they stop to sniff something interesting.

I've seen too many owners do this when their poor dog is trying to go to the toilet too and they can't even be bothered to get off their phone and look at their dog to see why it's stopped. Could you imagine someone doing that to you when you sat on the toilet ??

Please let the dog have a walk they enjoy and get mental stimulation from, not just a quick whizz around the block.

Did you know one of the simplest ways to make your dog happier is to let them sniff?
A 2025 study showed that dogs who spent just two weeks doing daily nose work approached new situations with greater optimism, confidence and curiosity.
Why? Because sniffing isn’t just how dogs explore the world; I t’s how they think, solve problems, and satisfy one of their most important natural instincts.
Every walk doesn’t have to be about covering distance. Slow, strolling “sniffaris,” scent games, hidden treats, and nose work activities give your dog’s brain the enrichment it craves while helping reduce stress and improve emotional well-being.
Sometimes the best thing you can do for your dog’s mental health is simply giving them permission to stop... sniff... and experience the world the way nature intended. 🐾
🐾 Let your dog lead the next walk. You might be surprised how much happier you both become.

So I pinched this from a group dog walking page where we are all professionals, qualified, insured, certified in canine first aid and have years of experience.

Sadly this is the kind of dog walker people seem to reply to and show interest in. Yes this post is tongue in cheek but it's a sad state of affairs when dog owners simply want to pay crap to get crap because it's cheap!

PLEASE PLEASE sign and share this if you love dogs. For whatever reason, lazy and uneducated cretins are swarming the dog training world and taking us back years to where we simply abuse them because it 'works' quicker! But it's not abuse if you use the archaic, uncomfortable and unethical tools 'correctly' apparently 🤬

DO NOT LET SOMEONE TELL YOU YOUR DOG NEEDS an E-Collar, a Slip Lead or a Prong Collar to walk nicely on the lead. Or to be squirted with water or even worse a citronella collar to stop barking. Or any other awful method you'd not use on yourself or your child, but for whatever reason they've made you believe it's best for your dog.

Please sign this petition and share it in as many places as you can to stop these people simply taking your money, lying to you and why it works and leaving you with a broken dog just because they couldn't be arsed to get an education!

URGENT & POSSIBLY FATAL

This information has been heavily shared and as far as I am concerned, the more shares going forward the better. Some are saying it is an awful and sick hoax, which given the alternative I certainly hope it is. But what if it is not! I would rather be safe than sorry.

Please avoid these parks and woodlands and while walking your dog anywhere else local please keep them on a lead just incase until further information is gathered. Missing a walk will not kill your dog. Keeping your dog on the lead will not kill your dog. Letting them off and ingesting poison absolutely kill your dog. Please be vigilant and very careful.

‼️ To anyone who has a dog please be aware that someone has put poison in kibble, down at well woods, sparrows den, beckenham place park, kelsey park, lloyd park and Harvington. Do not walk near pavements. ☢️

Police are at well woods and the vets are also on it as well. One dog has sadly already died 💔

I cannot say enough about this beautiful video of a pit bull (viscous and nasty dogs who suffer at our own hands from a nation of animal lovers!!!) looking after 2 abandoned kittens.

If only humans were as loving, loyal and kind as animals, just think how amazing this world would 💯

Afternoon animal lovers, hope you're enjoying your bank holiday weekend.

I have a favour to ask. I volunteered at this amazing rescue in March and met Mum and all these beautiful pups.

I don't know how, but this beautiful boy, Toby is the only one of the litter who hasn't got a home to go to. All his siblings are booked on the next flight to the UK and it will just be him and his gorgeous Mama left at the rescue. She is still up for adoption, so if you prefer a female older dog, she may be perfect for you, but this plea is about Toby.

Can you offer this boy a forever home or even a foster home as he will be far easier to find a home for once he's in the UK.

Please contact the rescue directly as in the original post 🐾❤️🐾

FEATURE FRIDAY – TOBY

Right folks, this is urgent! You absolutely must (pretty please!) share my post!

Apparently it’s looking like ALL of my 7 siblings are going to be reserved before our next freedom flight at the end of May and I’m still waiting….

I’ve requested a sad, black and white photo to make you realise how serious this situation is! I absolutely can’t be left behind with mum! How uncool would that be?!

The ladies said they’d add a couple of videos of me – playing, cuddling and being a puppy – just incase you think I’m a sad puppy! I’m actually great fun, just like my brother and sisters!

I’m 3 months old and I’m a pointer cross. I won’t grow up to be too big (probably) as my mum isn’t a big dog. I’m SUPER friendly and playful and you really would have a great time with me!

Oh, and I also get on really well with other dogs! So if you have a dog already, no problemo! We would definitely be friends!

Don’t waste any time! Send an email to [email protected] and ask the ladies how to adopt me! You won’t regret it!
