Well Heeled Hounds

It is with very mixed emotions that I am writing this post, the last for Well Heeled Hounds. For many, many reasons, I've made the extremely hard decision to wind up the business.

Whilst I am really excited about my next chapter and challenge, I feel extremely sad to be closing this one.

I've absolutely loved the last 5 years, working with you and your wonderful dogs. I can truly say that I've loved every minute of it and am so happy to have been able to help and support so many of you. It's been a privilege.

Happy walking x

Just fyi, in case you didn't know the consultation was happening, and would like to express your views 😊

28 July 2023 Residents across Plymouth are being asked for their say on the review of a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) designed to reduce dog fouling. The PSPO, which covers dog control as well as enforcement options around fouling, is in place to balance the needs of dog owners with other peo...

I first worked with this pup when he was a teeny-tiny newbie.

Shortly afterwards he was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and has been on a program of limited exercise, physio, hydrotherapy and vet visits.

Like all pups he just wants to play but has to be careful not to overdo it, so today we looked at how to train whilst keeping him healthy.

It was wonderful to see him again, such a sweet boy 🥰

Great to catch up with this super friendly chap and his owners again 🤗

We're working on his barking, as well as lead work and recall.

Last session was purely aimed at addressing his barking in the house. I'm so happy that his owners took on board the 'you'll really help him if you use opaque window film on the front window'. It's made such a difference. He's now more settled, less vocal and is able to learn from the training.

Training and management. Two different approaches that work so well together 🤝

Foot in mouth anyone?!!? I think we all know this feeling don't we?

Sorry, I know I should have posted a client pic but this was by far the funniest today 😂

I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed seeing this little pup's relationship with his human grow over the past couple of months 😍

They've come such a long way, very proud 🥰

Soggy Doggy!!!

It's been a loooong time since I had a rainy training session... I actually had to wear a coat ☔😂

Anyone else get soggy today?

Loved this session today 😍

This family of 3 are quite vocal, but for different reasons, so we really looked into who initiates which type of barking and how to help prevent, as well as respond to each type...

We also worked on calmness and 'settle'... Here's a beautiful demonstration from all 3!!! (Usually one of them is barking at their owner, whenever they sit on the sofa, which stirs up the others). Well done to all 👏👏👏

Much fun yesterday reengaging this super, super friendly adolescent lab with recall, by teaching him that his owner is more exciting than other doggies 👏👏👏
