Happy New Year from Hounds & Hooves! 🎉

As we welcome 2025, we thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce ourselves! 👋

We’re Jordan and Rich (aka Mr. H&H), and together we run Hounds & Hooves - a family business established in 2013. 🩵

When your dog joins us, they aren’t just another client,,, they become part of our family, and you do too. We take pride in understanding every dog’s unique needs and building lasting relationships with all of you, whether you’ve got two legs or four.

We can’t wait to see what 2025 brings and look forward to spending another amazing year with you and your dogs!

Do us a favour? Drop a hello in the comments so we can keep in touch… we love hearing from you all! 👇✨

Here’s to a wonderful year ahead! 🥂

The days between Christmas and New Year can feel a bit blurry, can’t they? They call this time of year Betwixmas! (get it?)

But… they’re a perfect time to slow down and really enjoy some quality moments with your dog.

One of the simplest yet most enriching things you can do? Let them sniff. 🐽

Sniffing isn’t just about exploring… it’s how dogs truly experience the world. A slow, sniffy walk gives their brain a workout, releases feel good chemicals, and can help them decompress after the excitement of Christmas. Plus, it’s a great way for you to slow down, breathe, and enjoy being in the moment with them.

Here are a few ideas to make the most of this cosy time 👇

🐽 Take a scent led walk: Choose a quiet route and let your dog take the lead, stopping to sniff whenever they like.

🐽 Enrichment at home: Use a snuffle mat, hide treats around the house, or make a DIY foraging box with wrapping paper scraps (without glitter or tape!) from Christmas.

🐽 Switch off together: Pop your phone down, grab a blanket, and have some chill time… just you, your dog, and the moment. This one is our favourite!

This time of year is all about connection, and there’s no better time to strengthen your bond with your dog!

What’s your favourite way to spend this time with your dog? Let us know below! 👇

I have a confession….even dog trainers get puppy nerves!

Bringing home a new puppy is super exciting but also a little overwhelming… even for me as a dog trainer. But the thing is… it’s totally normal to feel anxious - we want to get it right and it’s only natural to feel the pressure!

So if you’re welcome a new puppy into your life, I want you to remember… you don’t need to have it all figured out on day one. Take it step by step, and enjoy those little wins. 🐾

Have you felt the puppy jitters too? Let me know below! ⬇️

Wishing you a day filled with love, laughter, and those special little moments with your dog!

Christmas can feel big and busy, but remember: it’s okay to step back. A quiet dog walk can be just the thing to reset if things feel overwhelming.

To everyone who’s been part of the Hounds and Hooves community this year, thank you. Your support and kindness make this all so worthwhile. 🩵

And to those facing their first Christmas without their dog, we’re thinking of you and sending so much love your way.

We’re excited to head into our 11th year with some brilliant plans ahead, and we hope you’ll join us for the journey.

Wishing you all the best this Christmas,

Jordan x

Let’s talk about festive trigger stacking…. 🎄

Christmas can be magical for us, but for our dogs? Sometimes, all the extra excitement can stack up and leave them feeling overwhelmed.

Trigger stacking happens when multiple small stressors build on each other, making it harder for your dog to cope. Think about it…new people visiting, unusual noises, changes to routine, and decorations everywhere… it’s a lot for your dog to process, right?

Even if your dog seems fine at first, those little stressors can add up over the festive period, leading to behaviours like restlessness, barking, or even snapping.

But fear not… there are simple ways to help 👇

✨ Keep routines as best you can: Stick to regular meal, walk, and rest times as much as possible.

✨ Create a safe space: Make sure your dog has a quiet, comfy place to retreat when they need to decompress.

✨ Offer enrichment: Long lasting treats, snuffle mats, and puzzle toys can help them unwind and stay calm.

✨ Respect their limits: If your dog isn’t comfortable with visitors, give them the choice to stay in their safe space rather than forcing interactions.

The festive season is for the whole family… dogs included! By recognising the signs of stress and giving your dog the support they need, you all can have a very Happy Christmas! 🎅

Tis the season to stock up on long lasting dog treats… fa la la la la la la la laaa! 🎄🐾

Christmas is fast approaching, and it’s the perfect time to think about how we can make the season special for our dogs too. Long lasting treats like pizzles, ears, and similar goodies are not only a delicious way to keep your dog occupied (for them!) but also come with some fantastic benefits.

These treats work wonders in helping to release feel-good chemicals like serotonin, which can reduce stress and anxiety. With the hustle and bustle of the festive season - visitors, noise, and routine changes… chewing on a satisfying treat gives your dog something relaxing and enjoyable to focus on, keeping them calm while you celebrate.

Whether it’s a quiet evening or after a day of festive fun, these treats provide the ideal way for your dog to unwind!

Stocking up on long lasting treats is a brilliant idea this Christmas. Find your way to festive chews below! 👇
