🚨This is Dexter🚨

If you see him please contact his owner, Diana Rossell. The Pointer X Whippet X Greyhound was last seen at 5pm on March 26, in Cann Woods.

His owners searched for him for hours, but were unable to find him. They are desperate to get him home.

Diana is asking for as many people to share his picture and help him be reunited with his family 💔

🐾 Meet Our Third Expert Speaker: Sara Landricombe from About Town Pet Care! 🐶

Does your dog struggle when left home alone?

Separation anxiety is one of the most common behaviour challenges dog owners face—but help is at hand!

With over 20 years of experience in the animal care industry, Sara Landricombe has dedicated her career to understanding canine behaviour and training using force-free, science-backed methods. From working in veterinary clinics, zoos, and rescue centers (including Gables Farm), to running her own dog training and pet care business, she has seen firsthand how separation issues can impact both dogs and their owners.

Sara is passionate about helping pet parents build confidence and trust with their dogs, using kind, effective training methods that make life easier for both ends of the lead.

At The Dog Owners Summit, she’ll be sharing her expertise in:

"Separation Anxiety Survival Guide – Why Dogs Struggle & How You Can Help Your Dog Stay Home Alone"

🐾 Why separation distress is on the rise – and how to recognize the signs.

🐕 The different types of separation anxiety – because not all cases are the same.

🐶 A 4-step plan to help any dog feel safer when left alone – young or old.

This talk will also be great for those of you who have multi dog households with dogs that struggle to be away from another.

With up to 76% of behaviour cases now involving separation-related distress, this talk is a must for anyone who wants to prevent or overcome home-alone struggles.

If you live with dogs, work with them or are keen to learn more about dogs then this talk you do not want to miss out on.

The rivers have been looking a little dangerous 😅 as much as they want to go in, it is best not to! Although there at a few calmer spots they can have a splash

Happy New year to all my amazing clients.

I just want to say thank you so very much for your support of my business, which is now going into it's 14th year!!
I can't believe I've stayed in one place this long 😅💃🏻

I've not been posting photos of your dogs on walks as much as I should have. But I can promise you they've been having a lot of fun!!
I've been concentrating a lot on my art work, which I hope will become something more if I work really hard.

For Christmas I shared with you some of my work, the first piece actually worthy of printing. "Wonder of the day"
A Merveille du jour moth I painted with soft pastels. I hope you all enjoyed this gift as a thank you for being such splendid clients and trusting me with your dogs.

I've been poorly all week so I've not been able to draw as much as I'd have like nor have my dogs been in any exciting adventures. Rest was much needed.

Anyway I hope you all enjoy my progress on drawing Ruan my cocker spaniel in soft pastels.

Wishing your all so much fun, happiness, health and adventures for this new year. Dream big!!!

Lots of love from me and the dogs ###x

Super dogs this morning. I'm very impressed! They all stayed stock still whilst Ruan helped me get a little lamb back into the field with the others. Good dogs 😇🤩

It is glorious out! We are sticking to the morning shade and water pools.
It really is starting to heat up now. The most important thing is that I keep your dogs safe in this weather. Heat stroke is very real and dangerous, so once it gets too hot in the day I don't take any unnecessary risks. I stick to the shade and water. In the height of summer the walks get cut shorter if needed and I don't go too far. I've even been known to go swimming in the rivers with your dogs! 😅🤣
Anyway, safe dogs are happy dogs. Don't take risks in the heat 🥰
