Thursday 27th November 🌧🌥

🐾Nala, Jello, Bert, Ernie, Holly & Ali.
A really good walk with lots of learning going on. Holly needs help learning social cues and the group are supporting her learning and I'm stepping in and advocating when they need that too. Group walks aren't always about frolicking in the meadows on a warm sunny day. There is so much more, management, dynamics, clean ups, training, implementing rules, advocating, fullfillment, enrichment, exercise, teaching, learning, bonding, relationship, trust and much more.

🐾Tess, Freida, Murphy & Ali.
A beautiful wooded walk for these guys. Murphy wanting to play and Freida warmed to him quite well. He loved chasing her around even with no hope of catching her! We discovered that hes a very ungraceful swimmer today too 😆 Ali, as always was happy running back and forth with the odd swim. Tess was happy by my side or taking a dip and frieda practiced her belly flop skills in-between sprints!!

Wednesday 26th November 🌤🌧

🐾Nala, Arthur, Ali, Baxter, Billy & Morag.
A chilly but dry start to the day with some great interactions between group members, off exploring, great recall, sniffy fun and all round awesomeness.

🐾 Jello, Bruno, Ali & Morag.
A less dry afternoon but who cares when the team is this amazing!?! I did lots of recall, especially with Jello and he smashed it, they all did but he can be a little airy fairy about it....but not today, we've been working with him and it seems to be paying off! Everyone was epic 😎

🐾 Arlo, Trixie, Blue, Morag & Hunter.
An earlier walk this evening, but the wettest walk of the day. We did manage a pic!
Nice chilled walk with more amazing recall. Great end to a great day 😀

Tuesday 25th November ☀️

🐾 Nala, Holly, Meg, Rosie & Holly.
A relatively warm & wet walk for the morning team. We did some sniffy stuff, some recall practise and some boundaries around play and interactions. Rosie threw in some rolling practice and Nala added a dose of vocal exercises. A lovely morning walk!

🐾 Tess, Bert, Ernie, Rosie & Holly.
A woodland walk for the afternoon team, I say walk in the loosest terms...more a sprint 😆 Ali, Ernie & Rosie didnt stop running for the full hour with regular check ins or call backs and loved every second. Tess got a little swim with Rosie and Bert kept those vocal cords nice and limber. Great job today gang!

Monday 24th November 🌧🌤

🐾Jello, Bruno, Billy, Meg & Ali
We started the walk wet with a rainy backdrop and then the sun broke through and dried us all off, unfortunately we are also coming into muddy season! But this only adds to the fun for this crazy crew. We came across another dog and little Billy was amazing on his approach. Respectful distance whilst they both worked each other out (I missed that bit on video) then Jello, who isnt a small dog, came to say hi and initiate play, breaking up any tension and uncertainty. But look at the size of that dog, just shows that in the dog world that size means nothing, its all about energy.

🐾Bert, Ernie, Holly, Nala & Ali
We enjoyed a dry walk, with a combination of dogs that are learning different things. Nala how to play within acceptable levels, Holly (who has now joined our team) how to read other dogs, Bert with recall & allowing me to sort situations. By the end off the walk we had everyone doing the right things. But Mondays are always the highest energy day in group walks, so overall a great walk.

What a great session we had on Saturday with this reactivity group. Recreating a cafe environment to simulate a real life scenario for these dogs and handlers to enable to negotiate this option for themselves and they got soo much from it, mostly confidence 🤩

Thursday 20th November 🌤🌧🥶

🐾Nala, Jello, Freida, Bert, Ernie & Morag.
A very chilly start to the day, but it was dry and beautiful. It didnt take long for the team to warm up once we got into the fields with lots of running, chasing barking and play. Lots of energy burned off ready for a warm and restful snooze at home.

🐾 Tess, Murphy & Morag.
WELCOME to our new boy, Murphy. He made a firm friend with Morag and they had a blast running together navigating the trees and all obstacles. He was smart enough not to swim in the pool of water 🥶, his energy is soo happy & playful that even Tess perked up playfully.
Well done Murphy 🤩

🐾Jello, Nala, Baxter, Billy, Bruno & Arthur.
Another crisp and chilly walk with my furry friends. Lots of play, meeting other dogs (the sun brings out more people for lovely walks with their dogs), recall practise, and full on fun in the sun. The group did soo well when we came head on with a massive group of ramblers on a half width path too. Proud of these pouches 🥰

🐾 Arlo, Trixie, Blue, Morag & Hunter.
To dark for photos, but all light up collars were moving around in a happy way 😆

🐾Tess, Enzo, Rosie, Meg & Morag.
A great adventure whilst keeping dry from above and below!! Lots of exploring, sniffing and moments of running. A great little team 🥰

🐾 Bert, Ernie, Jello, Nala, Rosie & Morag.
I do love this collective, well fitting bunch of misfits (I include myself in that description 😆) they work well together, know each other and respect each other. They're all a little bit nuts but that makes them their own little characters 😍

Monday 17th November 🌤

🐾 Nala, Billy, Meg & Morag.
These guys had an absolute blast in the beautiful autumnal sun. Billy seemed to love initiating lots of play with Nala, who was more than happy to oblige. Meg & Morag were enjoying running together trying not to be spotted by Nala lol

🐾 Jello, Bruno, Bert, Ernie & Morag.
This group love to explore, hang out, run around together but less interaction between them. We did lots of recall practise which everyone did super great with and the obligatory posing from Bruno & Morag 😍

Not the usual manic Monday 🤩

Thursday 13th November ⛅️

🐾 Whinnie, Holly, Jello & Nala.
An awesome final walk with Holly, her week with us is done as Dougie Mabel's Mutts is on the mend. She has made a few friends but especially our Whinnie, they've loved running around and playing together in the open fields, shes a very dog orientated dog and really enjoyed those interactions. Whinnie will also now be on a break for a while (we will all miss you alot 😍) Nala was such a good girl too, being really calm and respectful and Jello had a good day staying close by.

🐾 Bert, Ernie, Devon, Tess & Freida.
We went exploring at Plymbridge (mainly to stay away from the river after all the rain we've had) and it was so nice to roam a new area, there will be more of this for sure. Freida and Ernie were awesome with recall, Devon and Tess seemed happy exploring this new route, whilst Bert really, really wanted to run....but has almost no recall, so is currently stuck on lead!!
A great day to finish the walking week on 🤩
