Bored, or Understimulated? There’s a Big Difference!

Ever thought your dog was just bored? 🤔
Sometimes it’s not boredom at all: it’s understimulation.

🐶 Bored dogs just need something to do right now.
They might:
• Bark for attention
• Grab a slipper
• Dig or pace around

It’s a short-term “I need something fun” feeling.

🧠 Understimulated dogs, on the other hand, are missing something deeper: the purpose and mental fulfilment their breed was designed for.
That’s when you see:
• Constant restlessness, even after long walks
• Barking or chasing anything that moves
• Trouble switching off

Because it’s not just about exercise — it’s about meeting their instincts.
Sniffing, searching, retrieving, problem-solving — those things fill their emotional cup far more than miles on the lead.

✨ That’s why I do what I do: helping dogs here in Carmarthenshire find that balance between calmness, purpose and joy.
Whether it’s through training, enrichment, or adventure walks, it’s all about helping them feel fulfilled, not just tired.

💬 Tell me — does your dog get bored, or do you think they’re actually understimulated?

🌿 Adventure Walks for Dogs Who Crave More Than Just a Stroll! 🐾

Is your dog full of energy, curiosity, and drive but walks, alone, don’t quite cut it?
Then it’s time to turn walkies into something more.

✨ Introducing: Adventure Walks!
These aren’t your average walks. We’ll explore, play instinct-driven games, and learn fun skills that challenge your dog’s brain as much as their body.

Because a tired dog isn’t always a satisfied dog.
When we give their natural instincts a healthy outlet, we build calmer, happier, more connected companions ❤️

🐾 You need enriching and breed-specific activities in your dog’s life because… 🐾

Because a tired dog isn’t always a fulfilled dog.
Dogs were bred for a purpose: to chase, retrieve, hunt, herd, search, or guard, and when we give them an outlet for those instincts, everything clicks into place:

✨ Behaviour improves
✨ Focus and cooperation grow
✨ You see a calmer, happier, more content companion

That’s why I run fun, accessible ways to give your dog what they were born to do!

🎯 Scurry Dog: perfect for retrievers and spaniels who love to chase, search, and retrieve
🐕‍🦺 Scentwork: taps into your dog’s natural superpower, the nose!
🧠 Enrichment sessions & games: keep your dog’s mind and body active in everyday life

These aren’t just sports, they’re ways to fulfil your dog’s needs, strengthen your bond, and make training smoother.

You need enriching and breed-specific activities in your dog’s life because… 🐾

Because a tired dog isn’t always a fulfilled dog.
If you share your life with a spaniel, retriever, collie or any working breed, you’ll know: they’re wired for a job. When those instincts don’t have an outlet, frustration can sneak in: barking, pulling, chasing, or struggling to switch off.

But when you give those natural drives a purpose — everything changes.
✨ Behaviour improves
✨ Focus and cooperation blossom
✨ You build an incredible bond through shared fun and understanding

That’s exactly what my training and activity sessions are designed for:

🎯 Scurry Dog for your gundog’s inner retriever or hunter
🐕‍🦺 Scentwork because sniffing isn’t just fun, it’s deeply satisfying
🧠 Enrichment sessions & games to keep clever minds busy and calm

These activities don’t just “tire them out” — they fulfill their instincts and desires.
And when your dog feels fulfilled, everything from recall to relaxation gets easier.

🐾 Ever feel like your dog’s energy has no off switch?

You walk them, play fetch, throw toys until your arm aches… and they’re still ready for more.
That’s because for many dogs, especially our clever spaniels, retrievers and working/gundog breeds, it’s not just about exercise.
They need a job. A purpose. Something that makes them think as well as move.

That’s exactly what my Scurry Dog class in Haverfordwest is all about.
It channels that wild energy into fun, breed-specific tasks like hunting, retrieving and focusing, so your dog feels fulfilled and you get back a calmer, more cooperative companion.

🎯 Starts Sunday 2nd November
📆 Four 1.5-hour classes (provisional dates set)
✨ Only 6 spaces available
🐶 Perfect for high-energy dogs who love to use their nose!

By the end, you’ll both have discovered a new hobby, and a bond that feels stronger than ever.

If you need a dog trainer in Pontypridd, my pal Emily is just the girl!

Younger me would be so proud of where I am today.🐾

I’ve always been animal-obsessed, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses. Animals were my safe space, my constant, and my true friends.

Life first took me in a different direction, I spent a decade working in education, running a nurture unit and supporting children with challenging behaviour, autism and ADHD. It wasn’t the path I expected, but it shaped who I am today.

Then lockdown hit, and I knew it was time to return to my first calling, working with animals. With so many new puppies struggling as their owners returned to work, it was the perfect moment to start my own business.

Since then, I’ve built a successful dog walking business and, over the past year, have transitioned into training. I still have big goals ahead, but I couldn’t be happier with how far I’ve come.

I really appreciate all of my clients, and even those of you who don’t have dogs and continue to supported me along the way. Liking, commenting and sharing my posts really does show so much support! Thank you so much 🩷
