Got to spend the morning with this beautiful pair on Saturday for an assessment. Roko and Zorro. Lovely dogs with very dedicated owners! Was a joy to watch them out and about!

Beautiful rare Scottish breed puppies available!

6 lovely Skye Terrier puppies born last week will be looking for their forever homes in 7-9 weeks from the Gifford area. 5 girls and 1 boy - £1,500 each.

Sired by a champion, they will be KC registered, wormed and vaccinated before released. All have passed health checks already.

If you haven't heard of a Skye Terrier, they are wonderful dogs! Mothers temperament is calm, loving, and independent and not a bark in sight! As stated above, father is a champion Skye Terrier and puppies look to be his colouring (black) but too early to tell. Mother can be met at viewings and puppies will be exposed to city sounds to help prepare them for any home environment!

If you would like me to pass on your details to the owner please do get in touch!

Full certification next! Watch this space 🥳🤩

Congratulations Elona Smith on attaining CCAB pre-certification.

"I am excited to have gained my pre-certification as a Clinical Animal Behaviourist with the CCAB. Since completing my Masters in Clinical Animal Behaviour at Edinburgh University, I have loved helping owners understand their dogs' and get to the why behind their perceived 'problem' behaviours. I look forward to becoming fully accredited so I can go even further in helping dogs and their owners learn to live happily together."

It's good to be back after a wonderful maternity break with my special little guy.

I've been working with the very handsome Ozzy and his wonderful owner on his impulse control as he gets extremely excited by people and dogs! Very common in our labs!

Training in a multicoloured household can be tricky, and sometimes we are called to help one dog and find it is actually one of the others dogs instigating the arousal bursts! This was the case inside for Ozzy as his lovely mum, Daisy! Her impulse control also needed some work.

We are two sessions in and the difference in Ozzy is like night and day! Check out this clever boy relaxed and interacting calmly around a friends dog that he had never met before!

All his sucess is down to his brilliant owner who has taken my advice and some new routines for Ozzy and really run with it. Well done! 🎉🥳
