Lead The Way Vet Physiotherapy and Behaviour Training

I'm extending my business to support the well-being and rehabilitation of these fantastic animals.

I would love to hear from you and where possible work in partnership with you to ensure the physical and mental well-being of your canine companion. My name is Charlotte Speller, and I am the proud owner of Lead the Way! Animals of all types have always been and always will be my absolute passion! As a family we have always owned dogs (Shih Tzus, English Bull Terriers and Boxers) and various small

domestic pets. Looking after there every need, making sure they are fit, well and contented, makes me happy. I have lived in Enfield all my life and know the surrounding areas well. Inspired by Brutus, my beautiful 3 year old Boxer, I have been working with a local dog training club for 3 years and started professionally dog walking in 2012. I have completed Levels 2 and 3 in Canine Care Management and Training, Training and Behaviour as well as an Odin Instructors Course and Canine First Aid. Additionally, I have also obtained my Grade 2 with the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers Instructors (BIPDT). Added to this, I am CRB (Police) checked, fully insured, and hold a full clean driving licence and have my own transport specifically tailored for the safe transportation for your pet(s).

Last month, I had the pleasure of leading a series of fun and functional canine conditioning workshops at the Young Kennel Club summer event 🐾 An amazing few days packed with energy, learning, and wagging tails!

I've written a short blog reflecting on the experience and why conditioning is key to building better bonds with your dog.

Can’t wait to work with the Young Kennel Club again soon!

Thank you to Chibaya Photography for the fabulous photos

As temperatures rise, our furry friends are at risk of heat stroke, a life-threatening condition that can escalate quickly. Watch for these warning signs:

🚨 Excessive panting
🚨 Drooling or foaming at the mouth
🚨 Lethargy or weakness
🚨 Vomiting or diarrhea
🚨 Bright red or pale gums
🚨 Collapse or seizures

If your dog shows any of these symptoms, move them out the sun GET THEM WET and GET TO THE VET. If you think it's to hot to take your dog out it probably is so if in doubt DON'T TAKE THE DOG OUT.

☀️ Don’t let the heat catch you off guard—learn how to keep your pup safe and cool all summer long. 👉 save this post and Read my latest blog: Beating the Heat with Your Dog for essential tips and tricks! https://leadthewayphysio.co.uk/2025/06/27/beating-the-heat-with-your-dog/

More Than a Business—A Mission Rooted in Compassion and Connection
How I Got Here

I still can’t quite believe that I get to do a job I love every single day.

My journey began in dog behaviour training, where I quickly noticed that many behaviour issues weren’t just “behavioural”—they were rooted in musculoskeletal pain or underlying medical conditions. Around the same time, my own dog became my greatest teacher. I helped him recover after TPLO surgery for a cruciate ligament rupture, and later supported him through life after a limb amputation following an osteosarcoma diagnosis.

Although we received some rehabilitation support, I often felt the approach was too narrow—focused on one area without considering the whole dog. That frustration planted a seed.

It led me to pursue veterinary physiotherapy, with a promise to myself and the dogs I work with: to always treat the whole dog—body and mind—as one. This is more than a business to me. It’s a personal mission to bring compassion, understanding, and truly holistic care to every animal I meet.

Is Your Dog in Pain Without You Knowing? 🐶💔

One of the most common questions I get asked is:
“How do I know if my dog is in pain?”

It’s a tough one — dogs can’t tell us when something hurts. But there are signs you can look for that might indicate your dog is uncomfortable or in pain:

1️⃣ Have they stopped jumping into the car, onto the sofa, or the bed like they used to?
2️⃣ Are they suddenly sensitive when being groomed or touched in certain areas?
3️⃣ Do they seem slower or less enthusiastic on walks?
4️⃣ Are they visibly walking differently or limping?
5️⃣ Do they have a diagnosed condition like hip dysplasia or luxating patella?
Even if they didn’t show symptoms at first, these conditions can worsen over time without proper management — leading to increased discomfort and pain.

If any of these sound familiar, don’t wait.
Physiotherapy could make a real difference in your dog’s comfort and quality of life. 🐾
