Wishing all our customers and friends and of course the dogs, a very Happy and Safe Halloween. This was us earlier at a suitably foggy park for morning shenanigans.

Our famous five at Oliver’s in Witham this afternoon. I’m so glad they get on together. ❤️🐾❤️🐾

Yesterday, after a late morning walk with Moose, I took Remy to Galleywood common- an 8 minute drive from her house! Never even heard of it till the owner told me about it.
Absolutely lovely place, full of doggies having fun. Still working on her recall so no offlead scampering for now… god she’s too cute!

Would you let your unleashed dogs get this far in front?

Weather was much more friendly today. Everyone had fun in the sun.

Dog walkers; when do you send pictures and videos to the owners?
During walk? Straight after walk? End of day? I always try and do straight after, but if I’m rushing to get to my next client, it’s usually delayed by a couple of hours…

Mother why do you insist on putting me in this coat?!
Fine I’ll wear it- I suppose I do make it look good.
Post any of this to your social media at your own risk!

I loved these two. The best behaved duo, yes really!

They said, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.”

Well… that was a lie!

Nobody quite prepares you for the reality of running your own business.

The unpredictable income, the late nights, the early mornings, the weekends that aren’t really weekends and the never-ending to-do list.

The fact that you can be a dog walker, trainer, nutritionist, accountant, marketing manager, receptionist, cleaner, social media manager and IT department… all before lunchtime.

And don’t even get me started on trying to switch your brain off!

But here’s the thing…

I wouldn’t change it.

Because behind all the chaos, there’s something pretty special about building a business around something you’re genuinely passionate about.

Getting to work with incredible dogs, getting to know each one’s little personalities and quirks, seeing them sniff and rub and play, seeing the more nervous ones slowly come out of their shell and grow in confidence and knowing that you’re making a difference.

Building a community of people who support one another, celebrate each other’s successes and genuinely care about doing the best for their dogs.

That’s the bit that makes the madness worthwhile.

Is it stressful? Absolutely.

Do I question my life choices occasionally? Daily. 😂

Would a predictable salary, paid holidays and actual weekends off be nice? VERY.

But would I swap Claire’s Canines for a 9–5? Not a chance.

Here’s to all the small business owners out there who are winging it, working ridiculous hours, constantly learning and somehow making it all happen.

We’re either incredibly passionate or slightly unhinged. Probably a bit of both!

And to everyone who books our services, shares a post, recommends us or simply cheers us on… thank you. You’re the reason we get to keep doing what we love.

Dream big. Work hard. And maybe remember to take a day off occasionally.
