For anyone who would like to reach out to me, I’m just letting you know that my Instagram and Facebook messages may not work for a while. I’m stepping away from social media and my business pages will likely be impacted.

I am still very much open for business, and can still be reached via email:

[email protected]

Or by leaving me a voicemail or sending me a text or WhatsApp message via:

07873223883

I work part-time hours, so I will get back to you as soon as I can within a few days.

Can highly recommend Alison ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🐾 Helping social workers make informed safeguarding decisions through specialist dog behaviour assessments. 🐾

Are you working with a foster carer or assessing a potential placement, and wondering whether a dog in the home could pose a risk to a child?

I’m Alison, a Clinical Animal Behaviourist with extensive experience supporting fostering and adoption teams. I provide thorough dog behaviour assessments that consider not just the dog, but also the home environment and the wider caregiving context. The result? A balanced, child-centred view of any potential risks, with practical advice and recommendations.

It’s not uncommon to have concerns about the number of dogs in a home, a specific breed type, or behaviours you’ve observed during a visit - and that’s where I come in.

Social workers across local authorities and agencies value my detailed reports and responsive, professional service in helping them make clear, well-informed safeguarding decisions.

I work with professionals across Lincolnshire and the surrounding counties. Get in touch to find out how I can support you.

Meet adorable little Dobby 💚 This little chap recently completed my Life Skills for Puppies course with his family and is a little superstar.

Some puppies and families don’t end up needing a great deal of support, but still benefit from having a space to ask questions, learn some new skills, show off what they have already learned, and develop a greater understanding about their dog along the way.

Dobby has settled really well into everything and picked things up really quickly with the support of his family. Well done guys!

You may have noticed that I don’t share a lot of photos of my clients or their animals on here. This is for 4 main reasons:

1. Sometimes it isn’t appropriate to ask people if I can take a photo for social media. I don’t just work with puppies. I primarily support people with adult dogs working through issues they are having, which often means they can be having a tough time.

2. Some people don’t want me to. I ask on my booking forms how they feel about it before we meet so there is no pressure to say yes if they don’t want me to.

3. I currently work on a very part-time basis so I don’t take on many clients at the moment.

4. Sometimes I just forget to take any!

If you have worked with me in the past and you would like to featured on my social media, please get in touch ☺️

Creating a safe space for your animals can be so beneficial for everyone when our routines and environments change and our homes suddenly become full of people, noise, smells and festivities.

Think about creating one now so it is ready and your animals are used to it when you need it.

Meet Nuala 💚 I’ve been working with Nuala and her family over the last few weeks on their Life Skills for Puppies private course.

While she’s been learning all the foundations, she’s also been developing her confidence and has really come out of her shell. Her family have been very patient and understanding which has allowed her to blossom into a much more confident and resilient little pup 💚

Feeling festive… Largely due to the endless viruses my children keep bringing home to share with everyone! Hope you are all feeling better than us! ☺️

This is very disappointing! I have mentioned on here a few times that I often operate from a private secure paddock at TFM. This is with prior arrangement and agreement with Nikki - when she is happy for me to use it and it has not already been booked for chicken rehoming or for use by her own dogs.

If anyone knows anybody who thinks it is for public use, please share this with them to communicate that it is private land. Thank you.

I can't quite believe I'm having to post but sadly here we go 🙁
POLITE REQUEST - DOG PADDOCK AND DOG FOULING

Meet Saffie, she's my Serbian rescue dog. The TFM dog paddock was created for her use as she's VERY reactive and it allows her off lead exercise whilst she's with me at work. Weighing 27kg, she's not easy to control when she's in full flow especially when I have my other two with a combined weight of almost 50kg. As a result, this paddock is NOT for general use and never has been. Sadly, it seems both customers and Joe Public are using it whether they shop here or not. Yes, just randomly parking here and using it has just happened 😞 The paddock is now padlocked. We also use this space for chicken rehoming and last time we had to stop a customer coming to use it whilst we had chickens in there.

There are dog paddock facilities in the area you can hire. Please use them if you want to give your dog off lead freedom in a safe space.

A member of the team has also witnessed someone (again, not shopping with us) repeatedly allowing their dog to defecate on our grass frontage and not pick up. We work hard for our premises to look smart and it saddens me that people think this is ok. 😞 This area is covered by our CCTV and any future reports of this behaviour will be presented to the dog warden to action.

Thank you for your consideration to my very old rescue girl and to our premises. Nikki

Update - customers are more than welcome to exercise on lead dogs around our car park area before visiting the shop. Leave full poo bags outside and inform staff. We will happily dispose of them for you.

Meet Rumsey 💚 who is looking very soggy here after her follow-up session in the paddock last week.

Rumsey has been working on feeling more relaxed and comfortable on her walks and when seeing other dogs. We’re only a few weeks in, but she showed us some real progress in her follow-up even though we’re taking it very gently, and we were really proud of her.

Special praise to her owner for being sensitive to her needs and moving at Rumsey’s pace with our plan 👏🏻

*In case you were wondering, the white box on her collar is her GPS tracker (just in case). We do not use shock or spray collars at Juvo. Not now, not ever.
