🐾❤️ A WEE UPDATE ON OUR RESCUE PUPS ❤️🐾

Hope, Teddy & Tess have been doing absolutely amazing since arriving! 🥹🐶

They’ve settled in so well and are already showing us their lovely little personalities. There’s been lots of playing, cuddles, exploring and of course plenty of puppy mischief! 😂❤️

It’s so lovely seeing them becoming more confident each day and learning that they are safe, loved and very well cared for. 🥰

They have so much fun ahead of them, and we can’t wait to watch them continue to grow and flourish until they find their forever homes. 🏡🐾

Just look at these happy wee faces… 🥹❤️

🥹🐾 Tomorrow is the big day! 🐾🥹

Our kennel is all ready and waiting for the arrival of 3 very special rescue puppies coming to us early tomorrow morning. ❤️

We are SO excited to meet them and give them the love, care and attention they deserve. 🥰 They’ve already got their beds, blankets, toys and everything they need ready for them, now we just need the puppies! 🐶🐶🐶

These wee ones are going to be spoilt rotten while they’re with us, and we’ll be helping them settle, build their confidence and get ready for their forever homes. 🏡❤️

We can’t wait to meet you… your new adventure starts tomorrow! 🥹🐾❤️

A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated towards our rescue dogs! 🥹🐾❤️

Honestly, we are completely overwhelmed by everyone’s kindness and generosity. Look at all the amazing donations they’ve received… food, toys, beds, blankets, towels, collars, leads, harnesses, coats and so much more! 🥰🐶

Every single item will be put to good use and will make such a difference to these dogs while they’re waiting for their forever homes. ❤️

Thank you so, so much to everyone who donated, shared, collected items and supported the rescues. It really means the world! 🐾❤️

From all of us (and of course all the doggies)… THANK YOU! 🥹🐶💕

🥹❤️ These two wee rescue dogs have settled into the kennels absolutely brilliantly!

After their journey over from Romania, it’s so lovely to see just how happy and trusting they both are. They are the sweetest, most loving wee souls and would quite happily sit and cuddle with you all day! 🥰🐶

They really are absolute wee cuddle bugs! ❤️🐾

The sun was shining, the dogs were all enjoying themselves and we had a lovely relaxed walk. 🥰

Can’t ask for much better than that! ☀️🐾

It’s easy for me to tell owners to “stay calm” when their dog reacts… but I know that’s often easier said than done. ❤️

If you’re expecting your dog to react, your body usually gives it away before they even do. We tighten the lead, hold our breath, tense up, stop walking naturally, start talking more to our dogs and our dogs pick up on every bit of it.

To them, it feel’s like we’re saying, “Sh*t, something’s wrong”

Learning to stay calm is something that takes practice, just like your dog’s training. The more relaxed and confident you become, the more your dog starts to trust that they don’t need to react either.

This is one of the biggest things I work on with owners. Dog training isn’t just about teaching the dog… it’s about helping the owner learn the skills and confidence to handle situations calmly too. 🐾💙

Progress comes one calm step at a time. 🙌🏻

🐾 Massive step forward for Bear today! 🙌🏻❤️

Bear is both human and dog reactive, so seeing him working this close around another dog and a stranger while staying so calm is something his owner should be incredibly proud of. 👏🏻

The first thing I worked on with Bear wasn’t his reactivity… it was engagement. Before we can expect a dog to stay calm around their triggers, they need to learn that checking in with their owner is the best option.

I always take things one step at a time. By building strong foundations first, owners learn how to read their dog’s body language, manage situations and keep practising with confidence between sessions. That’s where the real progress happens. 🐾

Super proud today ❤️
