🌈 Run free, Montey 🌈

Today I received the heartbreaking news that Montey has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. My thoughts are very much with his foster parents during this incredibly difficult time.

Montey was one of my most unique and memorable clients. He was in long term foster care due to his age and behavioural challenges, but his foster parents showed him nothing but patience, understanding and love. They did an amazing job helping him feel safe and cared for despite the obstacles he faced.

As time went on, his personality really began to shine through, and I was lucky enough to see that journey. Completing his very first full groom felt like such a victory for all of us and remains one of those special moments I'll never forget.

Montey wasn't always the easiest little man, but he was truly one of a kind, and I became extremely fond of him. He will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.

I hope that somewhere beyond the Rainbow Bridge, he has found Obie waiting to greet him, and that they are both now running free in a world without pain.

Sleep tight, sweet boy. You were loved more than you knew. ❤️🐾

🐾 Barney 🐾
How cute is this little man?! 😍
Barney was so brave today and did much better than I ever imagined. He's usually very nervous around new people and especially scared of the clippers, but today he confidently faced both of those fears! 💙
With a little help from some pâté, his favourite ball, and plenty of breaks, Barney absolutely smashed it. He stayed happy, calm, and relaxed throughout, and was even content enough to finish his treats and have a play with Fox at the end! 🦊🎾
I'm so proud of this sweet boy and how far he came in just one session.
Well done, Barney! 🥰🐶✨

For so many years, the advice around dogs has centred on one idea: a tired dog is a happy dog. If a dog is struggling, we’re told to wear them out. If they’re reactive, they must need more exercise. If they’re restless, we must not be doing enough with them.

But when we look at dogs through a welfare‑first, species‑specific lens, our idea around what dogs need changes. Dogs thrive on balance, on choice, and on the freedom to meet their needs in ways that make sense to them, not to us.

When we study dogs in environments where they have true freedom we realise that dogs actually sleep. A lot. They rest in the shade, stretch out in the sun, curl up under hedges, or simply lie and watch the world go by. They spend long, peaceful moments observing wildlife, listening to the wind, or following scent trails that lead nowhere in particular. They forage, they scavenge, they explore gently and thoughtfully. Their days are not filled with constant activity, they are vey good at just being.

Many dogs today are doing too much, and they are tired in a way that doesn’t bring fulfilment. A dog who is constantly on the go may look energetic, but often they’re running on adrenaline rather than joy. Chronic tiredness can show up as hyperactivity, which then makes us think they need more, when in fact they need less.

Fulfilment and calm comes from meeting their needs as a species. Slowing down on walks and letting them sniff is one of the most important things you can offer. When a dog pauses at a patch of grass, nose deep in the undergrowth, they’re not being stubborn or distracted. They’re engaging their brain, regulating their nervous system, and connecting with their environment in the way nature intended.

Allowing them to watch wildlife rustling in a hedge, to follow a scent trail for a few minutes, or to take their time exploring a new area gives them far more emotional nourishment than marching them from point A to point B ever could. Activities like freework can help dogs decompress, build confidence, and process the world at their own pace. If you want a link to a brilliant course on this, just send us a message. Even something as simple as reading to your dog can create a sense of calm and connection that supports their wellbeing.

Dogs don’t need us to do more. They need us to do differently. They need us to slow down, to listen, to observe, and to honour the quieter parts of their nature. A fulfilled dog is a happy dog, not because they are exhausted, but because their needs are met in ways that respect who they truly are.

We would love to see some pics of your chilled out doggies.

Back from our Dawlish holiday and definitely feeling those post-holiday blues 😅 — but we all had an amazing time, especially little Lucifer 🐾💙

Just a quick reminder to please message me if you need to book any grooming appointments for the rest of the year. I’m getting very busy now and spaces are becoming extremely limited!

Due to having the kids and lucifer, once my slots are filled, they are filled and I won’t be able to squeeze anyone else in.

To give you an idea:
✨ June, July & August are fully booked
✨ September only has a few spaces left

Thank you all so much for your continued support — it really means the world! 🐶✂️
