Dog owners! If you have a spare 10 mins, please do take part in the below survey for a colleagues PhD.

Many thanks!

🎉 🐕 Calling all UK dogs and owners! 🐕 🎉

Hi dog-loving friends! My name is River McDonald and I am a Clinical Animal Behaviourist currently undertaking research towards my PhD. Can I beg a little of your time to take part and help further our knowledge on dog walking equipment?

My goal is to hear from as many U.K. dog owners, with as many different kinds of dogs and using as many different kinds of equipment as possible! Your input is important and valued and has the potential to impact dog welfare in a positive way!

Taking part is anonymous and is really easy to do, just complete the online survey linked in the comments below. If you could comment done or like this post that will help others see it too! 💪🙌

Please feel free to share with your dog loving friends and family. If you can like/ comment too that will keep the post visible! The more dog owners I can get responses from, the more we can learn about how walking equipment impacts our canine companions!

I am also looking for Scotland based owners to bring their dogs to SRUC for a video based study too - there is an opt in for more info about this at the end of the questionnaire!

Thanks in advance for helping expand our canine science knowledge 🙏🐶

And just like that, I'm officially on maternity leave! It doesn't feel real... we will be back when the Smith pack gains its newest member and we've settled into family life! 🐶👶🤰

Slight change to my up-coming seminar, I've moved it to zoom!

This is to make it easier (and more comfortable!) for expectant mothers and partners to join in from the comfort of your own homes. It also means I can lower the price too!

If you can't make the time slot, fear not! The recording will also be available going forward for those who are interested (£30).

Email me to book your space and don;t miss out! It's going to be a good one

And that's a wrap on my daycare! Bittersweet feelings as I've been with many of my daycare dogs for so many years they feel like my own!

Gonna miss this lot so much but with moving away and the new addition to Clan Smith coming a few months later, it had to be done...

Change is always hard but doesn't have to be a negative thing. And I know my dogs are going to thrive at their new daycare run by the wonderful Ali.

I won't forget you guys!
