After observation, I can finally confirm what jobs the Bernie & Co family would have in the real world 🤣🐾

Some are more qualified than others…

Swipe to meet the team 👉

🤣🤣🤣 I had fun making this one!

Summer feels 🌻☀️🐾

Heatwaves can be uncomfortable — and sometimes dangerous — for our dogs ☀️🐾

During hotter weather, keeping dogs cool, hydrated and well rested is so important. Remember that mental enrichment can be just as beneficial as physical exercise on very warm days 🌞

At Bernie & Co, we always adapt our routines depending on the weather and each individual dog’s needs. Breed, age, health, coat type and fitness levels all play a part in how well dogs cope in the heat.

Sometimes the best thing we can do for them is slow things down a little:
💦 paddling pools
🧊 frozen treats
🌙 earlier walks
🌀 cool airflow
🧠 enrichment games
🥤 plenty of fresh water
🌳 shade & rest

Stay safe, stay cool, and give your pups an extra frozen snack from us 🫶🏻

Owning a reactive dog can feel… a lot sometimes.

The stares, the comments, the constant feeling like you need to explain or apologise for your dog’s behaviour.

But the truth is — most people don’t see what’s really going on.

They don’t see how hard your dog is trying.
They don’t see the training, the patience, the tiny wins that feel huge to you.
And they definitely don’t see how much you are carrying every time you step outside.

If you’ve ever felt judged, overwhelmed, or like you’re doing it all wrong… you’re not alone in that!!!

I see you! I get it! And I know how much you care!

Reactive dogs aren’t “bad” or “untrained” dogs — they just need understanding, guidance, and someone willing to advocate for them.

And if you’re that person for your dog?
You’re already doing something really, really right 💛

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. 🫶🏻

Ps. To Bernie- I wouldn’t change you for the world! ❤️

🐶💛 Donation update with Bernie 💛🐶

While putting this together, I said to Bernie…
“you’ve got your mum here—but some dogs don’t” 🥺

And that’s exactly why we’re doing this.

We’ve started our collection for two amazing rescues—Crowfoot Kennels and Paws A While Shelter—and this is what we’ve gathered so far!

They do such incredible work caring for dogs while they wait for their forever homes, and right now they’re really in need of chews and enrichment items to help keep them comforted, happy, and stimulated.

If you’d like to help us give these dogs a little bit of comfort and love, Bernie and I would be so grateful 🐾

Just pop me a message and I can arrange collection or let you know how to get items to me.

✨ I’ll be collecting until the end of April

Every single donation makes a difference 💛
Thank you,
Hatty & Bernie 🐾❤️

A lot of people know Bernie & Co… but not many know the girl behind it.

Animals have always been my life — from being the muddy “animal girl” growing up, to studying animal management, marine biology, and completing my masters.

But the biggest turning point wasn’t at university… it was Bernie 🐾

My slobbery, slightly stinky St Bernard who many of you know and love. He didn’t just inspire the name Bernie & Co — he completely changed the direction of my life.

After starting a PhD and realising life was taking me somewhere that didn’t feel right, I made the scary decision to walk away and figure out a new path.

Looking back now, it’s the best decision I ever made.

Because not only did I follow my dream… I built a life that gives Bernie his best life too.

Now I get to spend my days doing what I love most — working with dogs, helping them live their best lives, and going on plenty of muddy adventures along the way 🐾

Thank you to everyone who has supported me and trusted me with their dogs — it means more than you know ❤️

And if you made it to the end well done 😅😂

A great dog walk is about so much more than just exercise. 🐾

At Bernie & Co, we focus on walks that fulfil both the body and the mind.

That means including things like:

👃 Sniffing and exploring
🌿 New environments when possible
🐾 Positive social interactions
🎾 Play and natural movement
🧘 Calm moments to rest and regulate
🧠 Training and breed-specific enrichment

Every dog is different, so their walks should be too.

A fulfilled dog isn’t just tired… they’re mentally satisfied, relaxed and happy.

What does your dog enjoy most on their walks? 🐶
