Monty & Dennis - two dogs that came to us for group walks, with two very different reasons!

Monty is a very young golden that is often prone to over excitement & not listening to social ques from other dogs (like telling him no), Dennis on the other hand is a little anxious interacting with other dogs due to some not so move interactions in the past…

Both dogs have been doing a wonderful job over the last few weeks, Monty has been learning to be gentler & when to stop play appropriately while Dennis has been gaining confidence in approaching dogs & learning how to initiate play!

If your dog needs a bit of extra support with their social skills, send us a message! 😁🐾

Happy birthday to the fore front of Abbie’s Dog Walking - my fluffy little man, Arlo! 🎉🐾

Not only is Arlo the inspiration behind our logo & branding - he is our stooge dog for new dogs, he comes along on so many of our group walks, he’s the dog we use to help integrate dogs into groups or training & he is the tester for so many new treat, toys & more!

Abbies dog walking wouldn’t be where it is without him so thank you Arlo for everything you’ve done and every pet you’ve helped along the way - happy 10th birthday! 🎉🐾

It was another wet & wild day for us today! 🌧️🐾

We also got the chance to visit Nova - Nova is recovering from surgery on her leg so isn’t able to join our groups at the moment. We took her on a very short & careful walk to help get her leg moving safely and made sure to give her some well deserved fuss too 🥺

Another lovely day filled with lovely doggies! 🐾

All these pups have joined this group for different reasons; some for socialisation, some for exercise, some because their owners are out and some are with us to ensure they are having their breed specific needs met!

Whatever the reason we are happy to help make these pups lives all the more full 😁🐾

The other day we had a trial day with the lovely Daniel (and his kitty siblings 😸) and it went brilliantly!

His family are now able to book holidays knowing he is cared for and happy with us which is the best feeling as a pet sitter! ☺️🐾

First day at school photos? Or first day with my dog walker photos? 🥹🐾

Dennis joined us today to build up his social confidence & skills with other dogs, he also did so well so I can’t wait to see how much hood confidence grows! 🫶🏼

A great start to the day with our Thursday lunchtime (morning 🤣☀️) group! All behaved & got along beautifully ☺️🐾

☀️HOT PAVEMENT WARNING☀️

Yes, even on warm days, in certain conditions, pavements can become hot enough to cause pain, discomfort and even burn your dog’s paws. Although you may think your dog’s paw pads are quite tough, it’s important to remember that they are still made of skin and can be just as sensitive as the bottom of your feet.

On sunny days, pavements can often be deceptively hot and will usually be much warmer than the air outside. Dark and dense pavements easily absorb heat from the sun and are good at keeping hold of it and releasing it slowly. Natural surfaces, including grass, tend to be much cooler, as plants release water to help cool themselves down.

🔸HOW TO CHECK🔸
The best way to tell if a pavement is too hot for your dog to walk on is to place the back of your hand on the pavement for seven seconds. If it’s too painful for your hand, then it’s too painful for your dog’s paws.

If you notice that your dog is limping, looking uncomfortable or whimpering, then look at the bottom of their paws and check the temperature of the pavement with the back of your hand. If your dog’s paws look red, swollen or blistered then it’s important that you quickly take them off the hot pavement and contact your vet for advice as soon as possible.
