Hello peeps. I hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather but managing to stay safe in the ๐Ÿฅต. Its been unusually hot and as s result for the last few weeks I have to change up my times and walks to be safe for the dogs. There have been a few days that have been too hot to walk but I haven't left my pups in the lurch and have instead walked earlier when cool and did home visits later for short toilet breaks. We've enjoyed new more shader walks in the last few weeks in different areas and had new adventures and discovering different smells. The dogs all now know that the back pack i carry holds goodies including treats and water to keep them all happy. The weather remains good for the next week so I will continue safe practice for the pups while the weather is hot. Being local in the village has helped with the later Ferniegair walks as I can pop in over the course of the day to let the dogs out a few times when needed and a few of the dogs have benefited from that this week as Cash and Nala have had extra time with their auntie maz as you can see from the ever chilled out Cash in the pics. I do love the extra pup time.
There have been a few things happening of late. We now have a new van as the old one decided it was done. Many thanks to Lee the mechanic for keeping it well looked after for so long. The dogs are loving the new space and the air con in this weather.
This week we bid farewll and good luck to Bertie the lovely big labradoodle. He is moving to Blantyre and had his last walk with me on Tuesday. I will miss him lots and so will the pack but he is moving closer to his gran so will gets a lot of attention. This week also seen the introduction of the handsome Bronson. Another lovely labradore. His owners have recently moved into the village so Bronson will be joining the pack after a very successful trial walk with s few of his new pack buddies. I am looking forward to posting pics and updates of his new adventures with the pack.
On the Bonnybridge front both Hida and Ronnie have been getting off leash a lot more and are showing me how good they have been listening. Trust and a strong bond is everything when allowing off lead and I am so proud of them.
The walks are a little quieter at the moment but it is always a good time to do things to encourage training and a bond so I have been enjoying it. I will be advertising more spaces for Ferniegair once Bronson is fully settled with his new pack so if you are interested please get in contact. I am a local in the village with 12 years dog walking experience and trained in doggy first aid. Please feel free to get in contact. Have a fab weekend. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ•๐ŸŒžโ™ฅ๏ธ

Morning peeps. Hope you are having a lovely weekend. Sorry for the photo dump. We have had so many wonderful walks recently in the beautiful weather i kept forgetting to post. The Bonnybridge and Ferniegair packs have been busy recently. We've had some new starts and some old friends join us over the last few weeks. Lola and Amber joined our pack in Ferniegair and are settling in great. Amber is still a little nervous but is getting used to things. Lola has settled great and loves to be my wee co pilot in the van. She has mixed well with the others and feels like shes been part of the pack for a while. The Bonnybridge pack have seen Rosie and Harry drop back in for holiday cover which is always lovely to have them and wee milly continues to drop in on a Monday. The weather had been amazing but its been a bit dull last few days. Doesn't stop us getting out and about.
There are spaces still available on my Ferniegair walk. As lola has settled so quickly to pack life i am taking on quicker than expected. I am a local in the village so please feel free to get in touch or come and have a chat when I am out and about with maddie. Hope you are all having a lovely weekend

Happy easter Sunday peeps!! Hopefully all the rain and gusty winds have now past and we can look forward to a brighter drier spring. My Ferniegair and Bonnybridge packs have experienced all weathers in the recent weeks but it doesn't stop us getting out and about. The mud baths are proving quite popular for Cash and Bertie as you'll be able to tell from the pics๐Ÿคฃ thankfully most folk own a hose and i can get them cleaned off. Many apologies for the photo drop. So much to catch up on. Our Ferniegair pack added a new member called Amber. She is a gorgeous wee ginger cockapoo with a sweet nature. She has mixed well with Cash, Dobby, Pia and maddie but has yet to meet Nala and Bertie. We will hopefully be adding Alfie in the next few weeks. He is a gorgeous labradoodle like Bertie so we cant wait to see how that pairing goes as both are mischievous and full of fun. I still have spaces for the Ferniegair walks and will slowly take on one at a time to make sure they are settled well so feel free to get in contact if interested.
Our Bonnybridge pack is doing great but the lovely wee spaniel Lexie has now retired from my walks leaving a space for one new pack member in Bonnybridge. The rest of the pack are doing great including my own wee dog Maddie who has started to make ways on her recovery and is back on a few days per week. At the moment my pet sitting remains on hold til I am sure she is good but I will keep everyone posted when I release diary dates available for petsitting. Hopefully soon!! ๐ŸคžAnyway enough blethering, hope you all have a happy Easter and enjoy the chocolate and the bank Holiday tomorrow ๐Ÿฃ ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ•

Good morning lovely peeps. The weather hasn't been the greatest these last few weeks but that hasn't stopped us getting out and having fun. There has been a lot of muddy days, muddy paws and lots of hosing down after walks including a full on outside bath for Cash who loves a mud bath๐Ÿ˜‚ the sun eventually came out on Friday which was an amazing lovely change. The Bonnybridge pack welcomed back Harry and Rosie for the week and they joined us at Canada wood for a lovely morning walk. We encountered lots of people with their dogs and as you can see from the pics they were extremely well behaved and had lots of compliments. I am so proud of the dogs and their behaviours on my walks. On Fridays walk a lovely American woman told me I had a beautifully controlled pack and I couldn't be more proud. Its important in busy areas to have all dogs under control and especially near livestock too as we will be in lambing season before you know it. Training and building a bond with the dogs is a huge part of my job and something I take seriously and have great pride in. I am also extremely grateful to my dogs parents for the work they do so this compliment also goes to them too. also a huge thank you for the trust you have in me to take care of them while out on our walks.
I will be starting a new wee dog called Amber on the Ferniegair walk soon who will be joining regulars Cash, Pia, Dobby, Bertie and Nala. Enzo has missed his walks this week due to a sore paw but will hopefully be back soon. Maddie has returned to 1-2 walks per week and is doing better. She is an old girl now at 12ish so we are taking it easy with her. She was so happy to see both packs this week as she has been walking with me for 10 years now since I adopted her from animal rescue crew. She has been an amazing wee companion and best friend.
Happy first of March peeps. Spring is almost here. We are looking forward to the better weather and less mud!!
I will be advertising space for another dog to add to the Ferniegair walks if anyone is interested please feel free to get in touch.๐Ÿ•๐Ÿพ

Hello lovely peeps and Happy New year to you all๐ŸŽ‰!!. Sorry it's been a while since i have posted. I've been caught up with a few new doggies joining the Ferniegair pack and some solo training walks. I've also had a few wee excursions of my own. The Ferniegair pack is doing fab and has recently welcomed the new addition of Nala the beautiful lab who joined us just before Christmas. She is settling in well with her new pack buddies. Clyde is continuing his early morning walks and we've witnessed some amazing frosty sunrises together. Enzo has settled well on his afternoon walks and is gaining more confidence with time. He is a big boy but such a gentle soul. Bertie the lovely labradoodle also recently started with the pack this last week and has settled great. Dobby has had a new buddy to run around with since his bestie cash has been on holiday. He even had a trip to Bonnybridge today to join my pack walk there and found a new friend in wee Gus. The Bonnybridge pack are all doing good and we have welcomed wee patch back permanently 2 days per week. Wee millie joins the Bonnybridge and falkirk dogs regular on a Monday now and has settled well alongside her big brother morse who has been a pack member for a long time. I just want to thank my customers for all your support and trust over the last year. Things were really busy in the run up to Christmas and i didnt get a chance to express my thanks or gratitude to you all for the lovely cards and gifts.
I took a little time out for a trip to Exeter to visit friends before Christmas with maddie. I got to visit the stone circle at Avebury and do the solstice at stonehenge with my friend Jo which was amazing. Prior to this I had a wee excursion to the lake district to meet the wolves from the Predator experience with one of my lovely customers and a few friends. What an amazing experience that was. I also discovered there that wee Nacho the shibu inu is the closest in dna to the wolves. It's nice to take a break but work always calls me home and I love it. The walks are all back to normal at the moment but my petsitting is limited as maddie has to be rested due to a sore leg. I will still take enquiries for dog walking for anyone interested and will keep you posted when petsitting is available again. Please feel free to get in contact. Have a fab week ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ•โค๏ธ
