Every client and their relationship with their dog is unique and requires individual attention and this makes the work as a dog trainer both enjoyable and challenging and keeps me passionate about training.

Tomorrow marks the start of Cornwall’s seasonal beach dog restrictions, with bans in place on all Blue Flag and Seaside Award beaches between 10am and 6pm until the end of September — including Porthminster Beach in St Ives.

This weekend also sees the return of the Porthminster Food Festival (15th–17th), and organisers have confirmed the following:

“Whilst a dog ban is in effect on Porthminster Beach, the landowner has kindly offered to make an allowance for responsible dog owners, but animals must be always kept on a lead with no exceptions.

The event can be very busy, and the environment is not suitable for dogs, so we do recommend that you leave your furry friends at home.”

So despite the seasonal restriction beginning tomorrow, dogs will still be permitted within the festival area under these conditions.

Please respect the rules, keep dogs on leads at all times, and be mindful that the beach and festival will be extremely busy throughout the weekend.

P.S. Don’t forget your coat 🌦️

Training = Freedom + Welfare
classes help build bonds and confidence in both dogs and their family.
Starting early is a huge benefit as it allows you to mould a biddable pup.
Young pups training together in groups with no older pups allows them to thrive , and get the correct social skills to then attend an older pup class.
My groups are strictly for pups 16 weeks and under at start of class Then they can attend the older pups in a Manners for life group.
Our pups are little sponges at this age so help them get it right first time with Healeys Hounds

After seeing our first patient with an adder bite this year we thought it would be a good time to remind you to keep your eyes open for adders that are coming out of hibernation and enjoying this lovely warm weather! ☀️🐍👀

We are all aware that our beautiful towans and grassy areas are in inhabited with adders, but the good news is that although potentially fatal, adder bites are fairly rare. The snakes generally only bite in self defence, meaning that dogs are often only bitten when they either step on them by mistake when running along in the long grass, or are curious and unintentionally provoke the adder into biting while giving it a sniff!

What to do if your dog gets bitten.....

🐍Firstly DON’T PANIC!
🐍Call your vet ASAP and let them know what has happened. They will ask you to make your way to them as soon as you can.
🐍Remove any collars or harnesses in case of swelling in that area
🐍If possible carry your pet to reduce the spread of venom around the body
🐍If available apply a cold compress to the affected area
🐍If you have one with you, give an antihistamine tablet ASAP (If you would like an adder kit to keep on you when out walking please contact the surgery and we can calculate the correct dose for your pet)

Please don’t let this post worry you, just be vigilant when out walking, and be confident that if your dog does get bitten that you know the correct actions to take to get your dog the urgent care it needs 😊
