🐾 Something to say…

I don’t post much on here these days, I’ve said all I need to say (in recent years) on my approach to training, welfare, and general dog etiquette.

If you like my style you book me, if you dont, you don’t!

However, this weekend (just gone), I thought I’d share that I got married and (of course), Ralph was there.

We are now the Partridge family.

My favourite boy had some positive news today!

Here is the lowdown:

🧡No further changes or deterioration.
🧡He has maintained his heart size, and stability.
🧡He can have his next scan in one year instead of 6 months.
🧡 Keep doing what we are doing.

Over the last 6 months we have followed all of the expert guidance (to the letter), and this feels like a huge reward for taking it seriously. Most people think I am a ‘control freak’ or ‘pedantic’ when it comes to Ralph’s exercise, nutrition, and overall health management, but I couldn’t care less.

You do you, and Ralph and I will do ‘us’.

If you don’t know by now, I live and breathe my dog.

🧡 Heart Scan No.2

I don’t post much on here these days, but as many of you know, 7 months ago Ralph got diagnosed with a heart condition (and we have been managing it since).

Today, he has his 2nd heart scan to see how we are progressing, and to make sure that we are doing everything we should be.

If you don’t know by know, I live for Ralph, he is my whole life, so I am hurrying Tuesday away so he can come home soon.

My best boy.

🐾 Do you feel like your dog isn’t listening, but you’re not sure why?

For January and February only, I’m offering 1hr, one-off sessions designed to help you better understand your dog’s behaviour, what they’re trying to tell you, and how to improve your communication as a handler.

These sessions are held outside in everyday walking environments, so we can work in real-life situations. Together, we’ll uncover what’s going on and give you the tools to make better decisions for you and your dog.

📍 Location: Feering
⏱ Duration: 1 hour

This is a great opportunity to start 2025 with a deeper connection and better understanding of your dog.

🐾 WhatsApp me to book your session or ask any questions.

⭐️ News ⭐️

It’s been a while since I posted!

The last couple of months have been consumed by Ralph being unwell (or me), so as we prepare for a busy 2025, we do have a little bit of news.

Ralph and I stepped back from boarding quite a few years ago now, and whilst we have no intentions of bringing a full diary back, we will be opening a few more spots in the diary for home boarding during 2025.

Ralph and I said goodbye to our little Izzy (our cat), in October and Ralph is missing her, so whilst I dont plan to go back to boarding full time, I am happy to open a few slots in 2025, and help those we know whilst also helping Ralph’s loss of our beloved little Izzy.

I have already taken on two bookings and plan to do no more than 6 for the whole year, so if you’d like to get booked in, please WhatsApp us.

My ‘extra’ info you might want to read before messaging:

✔️ We aren’t cheap.
✔️ We don’t board with other dogs.
✔️ We are a home and your dog will be treated the same as Ralph (as family).
✔️ We do not have any other pets except Ralph.
✔️ We do have a very active outdoor based lifestyle.
✔️ We do not take entire males.
✔️ We do not take human or animal reactive dogs.

Ralph and I look forward to seeing you and wish you a happy 2025.

🐾 Ralph News

Many of you have followed Ralph’s journey since his accident (a few years ago), and I am regularly asked how he is, and how is recovery is three years down the line.

So, here we are with a little news after a fab three years of enjoying life since his accident.

Today we found out my very best boy and complete soul mate, has got Mitral Valve Disease (a particular type of Heart Disease).

Last week an unwelcome heart murmur was detected at a routine appointment for his annual vaccination, and today we found out that two of his four heart valves are leaking.

So, we aren’t going to mope.

We are going to appreciate having this knowledge, and go into ‘action’ mode so that we can do our very best and enjoy all the things we love together, for a long time yet.

We got stuff to do Ralph, and your fans like to see what you are up to, so let’s get busy. 🧡💪

☀️ Heatstroke - it is a thing! ☀️

I’ve said it before (every year actually for the last 9 years), so I’ll say it again.

It’s not being pathetic, it’s not being a wuss, it’s being aware and educated.

Shame on you and your poor dog if you choose not to be.

🧡 Ralph - The very best part of my life! 🧡

This time 7 years ago, I didn’t know there was a little orange puppy arriving into the world, ready to become the most incredible best friend that I am ever going to have.

I live for this dog.

There is simply no amount of explaining that could help you understand what I mean by that.

He is my complete soul mate.

Happy Birthday Ralph. You will never know what you’ve brought to my life.

I love you.

🌱 💐 Spring Masterclasses Are Back

🌱 It’s coming….. 🌱

It’s that time of year, when I start to open the spring diary for breed and energy play dates.

Every dog loves a play date!
Every owner loves a safe play date!

I will be returning to Porters Farm, Ruffian Wood dog field as a venue this year, but if you’d like to see a play date at another venue, please do let me know.

I am looking forward to seeing you all this year, for constructive play and socialisation.

Put your 🐾 up, if you’d like to join us in 2024!

I’d love to see your pictures in the comments, Ralph and I miss these sessions during winter!

🍼🤰Are you expecting? 🍼🤰

Bringing any new family member into the home, requires preparation and planning, and bringing a new baby home is no different.

Do you remember all the effort that you went to, to prepare for your new furry family member to join your home? You thought about it all!

And now…you are probably making (similar) preparations and adjustments (around the home), to prepare for your new human family member to join your home!

BUT…..what are you doing to prepare your dog for their new family member??!

Arriving home with a small human, requires adjustments for all the household (including your dog), and it is important to prepare for this.

Most dogs tend to like routine, so unless they're thoroughly prepared for the changes that new babies can bring, you may find that your dog becomes unsettled and/or demonstrates some unwanted behavioural changes.

If you aren’t sure how to help your dog prepare for a newborn baby, please get in touch and I will walk you through my 121 specialist sessions.



P.s Ralph and I send our congratulations! 👏🎉🎊
