Easing the September rush! 🎒
As routines shift over the next few weeks with school runs and work schedules, making sure your dog gets high-quality care shouldn't be an extra stress.

Throughout September, I’m offering special September rates on weekday and weekend tea-time slots tailored entirely to your dog:
Standard Solo Walks – Relaxed, dedicated exercise
Breed-Specific Enrichment – Scentwork and gundog games
Structured Engagement – Heelwork & whistle recall practice

Give yourself one less thing to worry about during the evening rush.
Drop me a message to grab a discounted September evening slot before they fill up!

Consistency is everything when it comes to loose-lead manners! 🦮✨
Out with Bella and Benson today working on engagement, heelwork focus, and whistle recall. When dogs understand how to earn freedom and rewards on a walk, the stress disappears for both the owner and the dog.

It’s not just about getting steps in; it’s about returning a happy, balanced dog to your doorstep

Physical exercise is great, but 15 minutes of structured scentwork burns more mental energy than a 2-hour road walk! 🧠🐾

For high-drive and working breeds, simply pacing along a pavement isn't enough to satisfy their natural instincts. Different work, works for different dogs and taps straight into their brain chemistry, lowering heart rates and encouraging natural problem-solving.

The result? A calm, deeply satisfied dog who settles effortlessly at home.

Fresh week and the final Monday without Pacha and GG, missing taking them both but not long now. This evening I take Ozzie out, and will continue working with him on his general walking.

Canine first aid day - a day which is important to me to ensure safety for all the dogs. I've done CPD, and confident in many areas but an Ofqual certification today makes this official.

Yesterday we went to meet some puppies, and did a 180 on genders... Meet Annie, I'll be training Annie in scent work whilst making sure she lives a happy and healthy life here with us. Lots of Peak District and lake district trips are on the horizon.

Annie is from Chipindor Working Spaniels - I've trained with Adrian over the past year and always knew when his Bran and Izzy mated, I wanted one of his 🐾

Friday Feeling & Official K9 First Aid! 🩺🐶

Happy Friday everyone! Ready to head into the weekend, but this one is going to be a bit different for me.

I'm really excited to share that I'll be spending time doing my official K9 First Aid training! Keeping up to date with dog safety, emergency handling, and canine health is a vital part of providing the best possible care for every single dog on my roster.

Whether I’m out on 1-on-1 walks or taking dogs into the woods, knowing I have top-tier medical preparedness gives both me and my clients complete peace of mind. 🧠❤️
Hope you all have a brilliant weekend ahead with your dogs—what have you got planned?

Out in full force today! 🚗💨

Thursdays are always action-packed around here! I'm out for the majority of the day working directly with clients and their dogs across our local routes.

From loose-lead practice to high-drive fulfillment and whistle work, it's packed back-to-back, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

A massive thank you to all my regular clients for trusting me with your dogs every single week. Quick reminder: New client spaces are officially opening up this October! If you want to get your dog booked in, drop me a direct message to secure a spot before they fill up. 📩

Mid-Week Progress with Ozzie! 🐕⚡

Mid-week check-in, and today is all about getting out with Ozzie the working cocker!
Ozzie has been making absolute strides with his training. Working cockers have endless drive and super clever brains, so keeping him focused on whistle work, loose-lead heelwork, and structured engagement is key to getting the best out of him.

Seeing his recall sharpen up and his confidence grow every single session is what it’s all about. Look at that focus! 🔥

Tip Tuesday: Gentle & Consistent Lead Walking 🦮✨

Struggling with a dog that pulls your arm off on walks? Here is a simple, effective foundation tip you can start using today: Become a statue the second the lead goes tight.

When your dog pulls, stop completely. Don't yank back or yell, simply stand your ground. Wait for them to turn around, look at you, or take a step back toward you to relieve the tension. As soon as the lead goes slack, reward them with praise or a treat right by your leg (at your heel position) and guide them forward in the right direction.
Dogs pull because it gets them where they want to go.

By making pulling equal stopping, and loose-lead walking equal movement and rewards, they quickly realize that walking calmly next to you is the fastest way forward! 🧠
Give this a go on your next walk and let me know how you get on!
