Hi Everyone!
Random question here: has anyone ever performed CPR on their dog and saved its life? (or know anyone that has)
A PR company we know is looking to write a story about it and are looking for people to interview to use as a case study.
If you have a story, or know someone who does, let me know and I will sort out an introduction between you and the PR company and they will then arrange a time for an interview.

🏆 Exciting news for Store Paws Dog Training Service!

I’m incredibly proud to share that Store Paws has been awarded Best One-To-One Dog Training Service – Essex (2026) in the LUXlife Pet Products & Services Awards.

One-to-one training has always been at the heart of what I do. Successful dog training isn’t just about teaching the dog – it’s about helping owners understand their dog, build communication, and develop skills that last a lifetime.

Every dog and owner team is unique, which is why personalised sessions can make such a difference.

Thank you to all my wonderful clients (and their dogs!) for trusting me to help them on their training journey 🐾.

What I Believe About Dog Training:

- I believe dog training should feel calm, kind, and rooted in connection.

- I believe dogs learn best when they feel safe — not pressured, rushed, or overwhelmed.

- I believe in positive reinforcement, gentle guidance, and meeting every dog exactly where they are.

- I believe behaviour is communication, and that listening is just as important as teaching.

- I believe in supporting rescue dogs with patience, empathy, and the understanding that healing takes time.

- I believe training isn’t about perfection — it’s about building trust, confidence, and a relationship that feels good for both of you.

- And I believe every dog–human partnership deserves to feel calmer, kinder, and more connected.

- Calm. Connection. Compassion.

*PLEASE VOTE FOR ROSIE!*

Hi Everyone,

Our Miniature Dachshund, Rosie, is a finalist for a Super Dog Of The Year 2025 competition and I wondered if you would be kind enough to vote for her, and maybe share for others to vote for her as well?

She had a bit of a rubbish year in 2025 as she had to undergo and recover from two spinal surgeries (IVDD) within 10 months so it would be amazing if she won as she has been such a strong little warrior; she was completely paralysed from the waist down and couldn't walk after her last surgery but is making an amazing recovery with the help of physiotherapy and hydrotherapy from Vets for Pets in PetsAtHome in Pitsea (Pets UK)

The link to her entry is below. It’s just asking for your name and email but you don’t have to tick the box that says they’ll ‘keep you updated with further promotions…’ so you shouldn’t get loads of rubbish sent through to your inbox.

Thank you all in advance!

The competition closes at 10am on Wednesday 18th March 2026

Fingers crossed she does well!
