Fraggle's Paws Every dog deserves to live their best life ever filled with snuggles, adventures and fun walks.

My name is Nicola and, after 46yrs working in accounts including 18yrs teaching adults, I am now following my passion of working with dogs through my business "Fraggle's Paws" as a qualified dog trainer with IMDT (The Institute of Modern dog Trainers). All the uniquely individual dogs I have known, beginning with my grandfather's border terrier, Henry, through all the cuddly and feisty dogs of fam

ily and friends, to those I have been privileged to own, have inspired me to help others along their journey of dog ownership and, since 2017, I have accumulated over 450hrs volunteering with Dogs Trust Dog School. Fraggle's Paws is named after my first rescue dog - a quirky, worried boy who decided to choose me for his forever home and taught me so much, along with my first dog Tom, whom I was honoured to inherit from my late neighbours. Tom and Fraggle inspired me to undertake hours of learning in order to help them live their best lives with me, and that learning has not stopped, with my current two rescues teaching me new things every day. Fraggle's Paws services include:

Basic Training Workshops (2 - 4 dogs) - Small group (2 -5 dogs) beginners (Easy Peasy Puppy up to 6 months and adolescent/adult dog options) and improvers classes (IMDT Pertnership Grades) - 1-2-1 Training - Solo Training Walks. Please follow this page or email/message me for more information; availability; dates; venues; and prices. I am fully insured and only use positive reward and concept based training methods so that you and your dog have the best possible experience to take forward in your lives together. Your Puppy or Dog will receive a Certificate of Attendance at the end of your course.

The recent heatwave has meant it's been too hot to take dogs out in the day, and even in the evening.
We've been finding cool spots in the garden, playing games/learning tricks and using puzzle feeders.

What have you been doing with your dogs instead of their usual walk?

GRASS SEED FACTS
It's grass seed season again, and seeds from wild grass are especially nasty, being arrow shaped and barbed.
Did you know that grass seeds don't break down naturally and must be physically removed?
Left untreated seeds can burrow into your dog and travel internally causing infection.

HOW TO USE A TICK TWISTER ✅

Do NOT DELAY removing the tick. Prompt removal reduces the risk of contracting Lyme Disease and other tick borne diseases.

Remember to disinfect the bite area and wash your hands thoroughly after removal.

❗️ BEWARE OF MISINFORMATION ONLINE ❗️

DO NOT do any of the following:
• burn the tick
• smother the tick in Vaseline
• rub around it with a cotton bud
• squeeze the tick
• stick tape over it
• try to pull it out with ordinary eyebrow tweezers

If you do anything to it while it is attached and feeding other than removing it as described above you will be distressing the feeding tick which will make it more likely to regurgitate it’s blood meal back into the dog and therefore spread tick born diseases such as Lyme Disease and bacteria into the dogs body.

Sometimes it's easier for a dog to achieve a target in familiar surroundings, even if there are distractions.
The next step is to build their confidence in different environments and to do that we make it easier again.

We were training 'chin' last week with a view to 5 second duration and mimicking delivering eye drops.
You can develop this to chin on an object.
Real world, I would do meds where my dog was comfortable and change the picture a little so as to keep a positive association.
