My time in North Wales is coming to a close.

Thank you so much to everyone here who has supported me and my business since its inception, and all those who have trusted me with their sensitive dogs.

I’m sad to say goodbye to all my four-legged friends here, but deeply excited about our new life in Scotland.

The most important thing is that Hector will finally have a secure garden again, which will bring added peace to all our lives.

Hats hats hats

I have hats made because I want to wear them (and I think they’re funny) so maybe you do too.

I currently have three designs available on my store (most are black caps, but other colours are available if you DM me - navy, stone, khaki, grey)

All are £19.99 plus shipping, they are made to order so might take slightly longer than you’re used to but the quality is exceptional

NEW BRAND, SAME LOVE FOR DOGS

This last year has been incredible. I have learned so much, and I owe it all to the wonderful dogs and guardians I have had the privilege to work with so far. I think I managed to get just about everyone on the third slide (actually I know I missed a few because I couldn’t find photos of them).

SO, WHAT IS CANINE CONFIDENCE CLUB?

I’m taking what I’ve learned from the last year to offer new services and support for reactive dogs and their human friends. Take a look at my new website for a comprehensive list of services available - I’m most excited about Dog Spaghetti my long line handling course for humans, as there will be extra special limited edition leashes available from and you know I love a merch collab.

And I’m hoping for CaCo Club to be so much more. I’ll be bringing in my love of art and design with some very cool merch, and working with some amazing partners to provide approachable content.

WHAT ABOUT WALKING WONDERS?

I’ll be cutting back a bit on dog walking to make space for other things, and I’ll no longer be working on the business on Friday’s because burn out is very real and it has been in the post for while. I will still be providing walks for all my local sensitive friends, but will have very limited space for new walking clients. I’m hoping to have some colleagues ready to take over some of my walking clients soon as I will be moving out of the area after the summer anyway.

So, what do you think? You know I love feedback, good, bad and ugly.

As you can see I’m posting this at 2am because it has taken weeks, and it is finally just now finished, and I am s**t at social media.

I’m on holiday!

As all my current clients will know, today I am setting off on my first holiday in 4 years!

I will be trying my best not to do any work but it’s hard to resist when you’re self employed and on social media, so you may get responses to messages (you may not)

Give all the dogs a snack from me and have a lovely week

Make making good choices easy!

Empowering your dog with choices sets the stage for a brighter outlook on life. When they have the freedom to make decisions, even small ones, and are rewarded for embracing their natural instincts, they learn to approach new experiences with confidence and a positive attitude. This can be as simple as presenting your dog with 3 different chews to choose from - and letting them change their mind if they have second thoughts!

Remember, it's crucial to be honest in your offerings, never presenting a choice when you can't or won't accept 'No' as the answer. This honesty builds trust and reinforces an optimistic perspective. Discover how granting a sense of control and rewarding natural dog behaviours like sniffing and marking can shape your friend's outlook and enhance their overall well-being.

Puppy school is just the beginning...

Set your dog up for success before puberty has you asking if it's too late to give them back. That peaceful phase between puppyhood and adolescence is a golden opportunity to work on advanced skills like cooperative care, husbandry and keeping their cool around other dogs. This dedication ensures your dog grows into a well-behaved, confident, adaptable companion who greets new experiences with enthusiasm and remains steady in the face of life's twists and turns.

Engaging in interactive play is a fundamental aspect of nurturing and supporting sensitive dogs. It can serve as a pivotal tool for building trust, enhancing self-assurance, and fostering a deeper bond with your dog.

When it comes to helping our dogs grow, that bond is the most powerful tool we'll ever have!
