Well, that’s just about a wrap on May! ☀️🌱

At one point this month, I was really starting to worry where Alfs would be by now after a sudden, rapid decline. Thankfully, it turned out to be a B12 issue, and his supplements are already making the absolute world of difference!

We’ve loved our adventures together this month. Being in his golden oldie era certainly brings its own rollercoaster, but right now, he is on a up! 🙌🐾

I’ve also loved getting my own fitness training done in the sunshine, which makes reaching those goals so much easier. Filling my own cups before pouring truly makes all the difference.🏃‍♀️

It has been an absolute joy spending time with all of the wonderful dogs and humans this month🥹🧡

Oh, and I finally decided it was time for a boot tidy! 😂

Bring on June!🙌

What a beautiful moment captured on my walk with Katie and Franco this afternoon! 🧡

It sums up Scentventure perfectly: Exploring, connecting with the Environment, using his nose to discover through Scent, and sharing that moment as a Partnership.

Katie didn’t dismiss Franco’s inquisitiveness or try to move him along. Instead, she paused and shared the moment right there with him.

Whether Franco is discovering something he’s enthusiastic about, or something he feels a little unsure of, Katie is right there to navigate it with him, helping him process the world with calm confidence.

I love how lost they are in their own world together. I just couldn’t help but sneak a photo! 🥹

It’s a single brief moment, but it beautifully summarises everything Scentventure brings to their partnership. 🐾

What a fantastic day with VIP Dexter and his fabulous humans, Carole and Alan! 🧡

We packed the day from start to finish. I can’t wait to tell you all about it, but first, some well-deserved sleep for us all! 😆💤

Benji is a fantastic example of how a dog changes their speed during a search! 🐾

At first, when he’s not in proximity to any odour, he’s going at a quicker pace with a lower intensity of sniffing. But the moment Benji catches a whiff of that odour, you can see his pace slow right down as his sniffing rate increases. This brilliant shift in gears is exactly what helps him pinpoint the exact location of the hide! 👃💪

What a lovely, cool summer evening for a Scentwork session! Benji and Lorna absolutely smashed it, finding all 3 hides. 💪

Lorna did a fab job reading Benji. At one point, Benji hit a pool of odour but couldn’t quite pinpoint the exact spot. Lorna stepped in to guide him into a more methodical search right where his body language was saying, “there’s odour here!” Such brilliant Partnership! 🐾

There are a million and one reasons, probably even more😆, why I absolutely love Scentwork!

But at the very root of it all is the connection, that incredible Scentventure partnership opportunity it allows to blossom. It helps us shift our mindset so we no longer think of training as “how do I make my dog do X, Y, and Z?”

Instead, it opens our eyes to how to create beautiful opportunities where we want to work together as a team in a true training partnership, just like Donna and Marley! 🧡🐾

The biggest, happiest birthday to ! 🥳

Dogwood is honestly one of my favourite places on Earth. It used to be because it provided a safe world when Alfs was anxious about dogs on walks.

These days, as Alfs becomes a golden oldie, it’s a compact world that meets all of Alfs’s needs without needing to walk far.

Of course, it’s not just Alfs I get to see at Dogwood; it’s my amazing workplace! It’s a beautiful place to see dogs and their humans blossoming.

And of course, Dogwood is a place I get to start dogs on Scentventure, ready for taking it out into the world.

Scentventure always feels like Dogwood’s fruit to me, and that fruit has a seed that you get to grow the Scentventure way, wherever you are. 🧡

💦It’s Alfs’s first time back in the pool since surgery! We’ve added some anti-slip matting to keep him safe and steady so he can continue to enjoy his pool all summer long.

Hope you’re all having a wonderful bank holiday weekend! 🧡

What a beautiful day to start water retrieves with Franco! 🌊

And it’s funny, Franco actually let us know he was ready for this by starting to pop his dummy into the water last week.

This is what I love about Scentventure; it’s about progressing together. Training isn’t just about our dogs listening to us, but just as importantly, we should listen to them.

That’s what builds a beautiful training partnership, just like Katie and Franco! 🧡

We all hear it, don’t we? Filling our own cup allows us to pour elsewhere, and honestly, it is so true!

It is something that is so often overlooked in dog training plans. We can get so busy supporting our dogs that we completely forget to factor in our own time. But real success comes from filling your own cup first, rather than just endlessly pouring yourself into a training plan.

For me, filling my cup looks like running, spending time on my balance board, Lego, and music. Yours might look completely different, and that doesn’t matter at all, as long as you are filling your cup! ☕️✨

Let me know yours if you have any, or some that you’d like to try!
