Lorna and her BFF Hildi at Badders on Saturday! We had glorious weather and the dogs attracted lots of lovely compliments. How those riders do it I just don't know! Huge respect.

With so much mud everywhere I have such thoughtful clients. Shoes off and slippers on = a clean floor! Thank you 🤗

Beautiful Darcy is so willing and just wants to please. He’s 12yrs old and is coming for hydro as he has a little degeneration in his hips. He’s getting stronger and is getting a spring back in his step 🥰

Christmas seems to have crept up on me this year but once again The Silly Season is upon us. I just want to thank all of my wonderful clients who entrust me to provide hydro for their cherished companions. It's an honour and a privilege to be part of so many dogs lives and hopefully make a difference. Lorna wasn't impressed with her reindeer ears - I couldn't get her to look any more enthused than this!! Wishing you all a Very Happy and Peaceful Christmas. Susie and Lorna ###x

This sweet choccy girl, Bella, has lost a leg after a cancer diagnosis meant radical surgery to save her life. She’s a very dear soul and ties her hardest despite her limitations. We’re building up strength slowly but surely…❤️‍🩹

Can anyone help?

‼️ IMPORTANT UPDATE ‼️ on the field and the future of Priestlands Dogs…🙏🤍🙏

Priestlands Dogs has been proud to provide a safe, welcoming field for dogs and their owners. This space has become more than just a training ground — it is a vital community resource, offering security, enjoyment, and connection for countless local families.🤍

In summer 2025, we were informed that the contract for our current field would not be renewed beyond November. Although an extension was initially agreed while we searched for alternatives, this has now been withdrawn. We now face eviction within three months unless a new location can be secured. 😬

Priestlands Dogs was built from the ground up as a dog training and behaviour practice, and the field has been central to its success. Losing it would not only disrupt the business but also remove a valued facility that supports the wellbeing of both dogs and their owners. We are determined to continue serving the community, but we cannot do it alone. 🙏 This is where you come in…

How you can help… 🥰

Connections 🔗 matter: If you know of any local landowners who may be open to hosting a dog‑safe field, please share their details with us. 🙏

Spread 🗣️ the word: Share this post widely so we can reach as many people as possible. 🫶🏻

Show your 🫂 support: Share your comments here or directly at 📧 [email protected].

Your feedback will help demonstrate the importance of this field to the wider community. 🙏

Every booking, every visit, and every photo of your dogs enjoying the field has shown how valuable this space is. With your help, we can secure a future for Priestlands Dogs and ensure this community resource continues to thrive. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you,

Emma and Hildi x

Judy the English Bulldog is here to build up strength and muscle mass following a cruciate op. Apparently she’s always sat like this! Such a sweet girl, she finds the whole process great fun! 😊

Not at all work related but had to share this as it made me laugh today. So there I am taking Lorna for a little lead walk and this older gentleman approaches and asks to stroke her. Of course I said. At which point he says casually ‘She looks like Diane Abbott’. Really???? Please tell me more one else sees this?? Had to laugh 😆

This handsome young German Shepherd, Oz, has a habit of puffing his cheeks when waiting for his gravy bones. Very cute! He’s here to build up muscles for hip dysplasia. Has no time for massage but loves his hydro! Such a good boy 🥰
