Your dog’s best recall tool is not a command. It is your relationship. 🐾

Recall becomes so much easier when coming back to you feels safe, rewarding and genuinely worth it.

Before your next walk, spend a few moments playing together with your dog’s favourite toy, a little game of chase, or even a “Find It” scent game in the garden. Build the feeling that being close to you is fun, comforting and full of good things.

The more your dog learns that you are the place where good things happen, the more they will want to come back to you.

Because great recall is not built through pressure or repeating “come” louder and louder. It is built through trust, connection and making coming back feel like the best part of the adventure.

If you would like help building recall in a way that feels fun and right for your dog, send me a message. 🐶

‼️Found cat‼️

We admitted a cat into our care yesterday who has been at the PDSA in Southampton for the last 7 days. Unfortunately she is not microchipped.

She was found in Harrington Road in Southampton, SO14 area. At the time of being found she was giving birth and the kitten was stuck. Unfortunately the kitten did not make it. Luckily mum is doing fine.

If you believe she could be your cat please email photos and proof of ownership to our reception team on: [email protected]

Please share so we can see if she has an owner ♥️

I’m not here to reinvent the wheel. I’m here to oil it, steady it, and help it turn the way it was always meant to. The gaps in our industry aren’t because people don’t care, they’re because the systems we work within were built in separate rooms, with no windows between them. And when you can’t see into the next room, you can only work from your own perspective.

Everything I do is about empowering you to be the best you can be. This isn’t about becoming a big figure to follow or chasing likes. It’s about helping us move into a new era of canine care, one where we finally see our dogs as whole beings. That shift is already happening, and it’s wonderful, but it also brings resistance, because change is uncomfortable for most of us. Necessary, but uncomfortable.

For various reasons, often profit driven, the systems of care have been split into boxes. Behaviour in one box. Nutrition in another. Veterinary care in another. Training in another. grooming in another. And the saddest part is that these boxes rarely have windows. So when a guardian walks into one box, they’re only seen through that one lens.

A dog with a behaviour issue may actually be in pain.
A groomer may need to refer to a behaviourist.
A dog with gut issues may need a nutritionist more than a vet.
A dog struggling with training may actually need medical support.

And the professionals in each box don’t always know what’s happening in the others. Not because they don’t want to but because the system wasn’t designed for connection.

That’s why I’m creating the Canine Triage Practitioner role.

This isn’t about diagnosing or fixing. It’s about understanding the whole dog well enough to guide guardians to the right support. It’s about putting windows in every box so we can finally see each other, work together, and build the right team around each individual dog.

The course will run over four months, teaching behaviour, communication, body condition, movement, and the many modalities that make up modern canine care ,from vets to physios, from herbalists to trainers, from nutritionists to reiki practitioners. You’ll learn how to collaborate professionally, how to recognise what’s in your scope and what isn’t, and how to help guardians find the right help within their own budget and means.

This role can stand alone or sit beautifully alongside the work you already do. It’s for behaviourists, trainers, groomers, vets, vet nurses, complementary therapists, and there will also be a tier for people who aren’t in the industry yet but feel called to this work.

I already have a lovely WhatsApp group of people who are interested. If you’d like to be added, just send me a message.

We’re building something that should have existed a long time ago. Something collaborative, compassionate, and genuinely dog‑centred. Something with windows.

Whose walk is it? 🐾

Somehow dog walks have become very rigid. We leave the house, walk from A to B, keep moving, don’t stop, don’t sniff… and then wonder why our dogs still come home feeling frustrated, overwhelmed or wanting more.

But what if the walk was actually for your dog?

For many dogs, the best part of a walk is not the distance covered. It is being able to sniff, explore, make choices, play, pause and take in the world around them.

Try adding on your next walk:
• Sniffing time
• Choice of route
• “Find it” games
• Time to stop and watch
• A little play or training
• Time to simply slow down

Walks are not just about getting from A to B. They are about enrichment, confidence, connection and seeing the world through your dog’s eyes. 💜
