In a few weeks time I will be having a new bionic hip and as there is a lot to get ready for my recovery I have decided to close for the moment. However, clients are more than welcome to keep sending videos/photos, & ask questions etc.

Walking with worried dogs can make walks hard, emotional and even scary. It's important to remember that even when a dog lunges forward, they are just trying to stay safe. We can help you to understand your dog and learn howe to make walks better, just drop us a line below.

I recently had my final session with gorgeous Maple. As you can see she is just beautiful and is also, rightly, very proud of herself. She finds relaxed lead walking quite tricky but is making great progress, which I know her amazing guardians will continue.

So proud at how far this family has come, making lots of small, yet impactful changes.

Way to go Team Maple & Pippin, you are smashing it 💪 👏

Oops! I nearly forgot to post about another awesome scent class today. It's always exciting to go to a different location and today we were lucky enough to go to a boat yard. This meant a lot of different smells, different distractions (a dead crab for one), and searching surfaces that were very different from ones we've done before. And the strong wind added another layer of difficulty. Of course all the dogs completely smashed it and had great fun in doing so! 🙌👏❤️

When you want to change behaviours there are no quick fixes or magic wands. Changing how an animal feels & therefore behaves in a particular situation, can take a time.

If a 'trainer' promises a quick fix, then they may well resort to using aversive tools, pain and intimidation, which only suppress behaviours. At some point suppressed behaviours will reemerge with a vengeance! These 'trainers' will not consider the dog's emotions or possible reasons behind the behaviour.

Steer clear of the 'quick fix' brigade, roll up your sleeves and be prepared for the long haul.... you dog deserves it. 🐾

Set up some scentwork in one of our favourite search areas then went for a walk. I then came back to search.

As always Mouse did amazingly!

Remember that scentwork is a great way to work your dog's brain & it really does tire them out! ❤️

We were out early this morning and used the environment and the Counting Game to sneak in a bit of physio with Mouse.

Using inclines helps him to become more aware of his hind legs. We know that he overworks his front end which leads to front leg, neck, shoulder & upper back issues.

Overtime he should become slower and more mindful as to how he moves. 👏🫶

Mouse has been back to physio today. He had a lovely time exploring the treadmill, did some pole work and was intrigued by the gardener who was mowing the lawn! No wonder he's a tired boy! 😴
