And in between the very exciting news of taking on a staff member and all the new doggies, I have also been working through 4 lots of very sad and difficult news. One of which was the passing of beautiful Delilah.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Delilah for massage every two weeks since I began massaging dogs in 2023. But our story goes back much further than that.

Not only was Delilah one of my OG clients, I also saw her 5 days a week at my previous job for 11 years and saw her come into the shelter as a young puppy when I worked at the SPCA. So for 15 years Delilah was in my life. You could say we knew each other very well.

How do you say goodbye to a dog that has been a massive part of your life and career through each chapter? With great difficulty and pain.
But knowing that you were a part of helping her have the best life, that helps. And boy did she have the best life! Her mum made sure she got everything she needed and deserved, right up until the last day.

I miss you beautiful girl, fly high, chase all the balls and be that boss queen you always were.
Oh and say hi to Lincoln for me, he will be happy to steal your couch and ball off you again xx 🦋

Week one done and dusted with our new paw friends.

I am so pleased with how all of the dogs have been this week. There has been so many changes, but they have all behaved so well for both Ellen and myself. It’s not easy for most dogs to be able to walk alongside “strange” dogs. But every single dog has handled it so well. It just goes to show how much they trust me and how strong our relationships are, which is of high importance to me and one of the reasons why I spend so much time working with each dog individually.

I am also so proud of Ellen and how well she has done on her first week. It’s not an easy task taking on a whole lot of new dogs, getting to know them, learning a new skill, meeting new people, and the pick up/drop off schedules. I just know we are going to make an epic team!

And one last thank you to all my amazing paw partners, new and old! I do not take for granted the trust that you put in us to take the very best care of your fur children. We will continue to provide you with the very best care you can get!

Here’s to us, and the future of Paws Rewind. I look forward to seeing it grow into something even more special than it already is!

Introducing Ellen!

I am so excited to officially introduce Ellen to the Paws Rewind team.

Ellen comes to Paws Rewind with a background of working with dogs and working on the farm. She is Pet First Aid trained and has a strong knowledge of canine behavior. Ellen is kind and caring, and has already stepped up to the challenge of walking dogs. She is very excited to be learning more from me about dogs and how on lead walking is so beneficial for them and their socialisation skills.

Those of you who pay attention would have already seen her on my stories and you may have noticed some other new faces around here too.

I have the absolute pleasure of taking on some of the Harpers Hounds paw friends, who will be welcomed into the Paws Rewind family with open arms. And we can’t wait to have them all join us on our pack walks.

The Paws Rewind family is officially growing! I am looking forward to having Ellen and all our new paw friends on board.

Meet Maia,
She is a Staffordshire bull terrier who I have been walking since March.

I have known Maia since she was a puppy from my previous job, so we already had such a great relationship.
Because of this I was able to fit Maia into a pack straight away.

She does have reactive tendencies towards other strange dogs if they get in her space (but fair enough! Girl just wants dogs to stay out of her bubble). We already have a relationship of trust, so she knew straight away I wouldn’t let this happen to her!

My little sidekick from day one ❤️
(Although those who know me, know I have a special place for Staffords).

It has been an absolute pleasure having Maia back in my life, and I am so happy to be able to help her regain some confidence walking with other dogs to help her mum out during this next chapter of life.

Looking forward to continuing on our journey together Maia x

Did you know that 80% of dogs over the age of 8 have arthritis?

Pain in dogs can show up as:
🐾 Changes in behaviour - such as a new irritability or anxiety.
🐾 Delaying going up the stairs or not wanting to go up or down them.
🐾 Stretching more than usual.
🐾 Taking longer to get up in the morning or struggling to get up.

We try and make excuses or explain those things away.
We say “it’s just old age” “it’s their personality”, or a phase, “but they don’t cry or yelp when I do this”, “but they are still eating”, “they are still happy to go on walks”.

We miss the subtle signs that slowly creep in, slowing down on walks, eating but with less enthusiasm, that small hesitation to jump on the couch. And by the time we notice, it’s been getting worse for a very long time.

If you do notice that your dog has changed, has a weird outburst, does something that makes you think hmmm that was odd, even if it’s small, pain should be one of the first things that you should consider and begin discussing with your vet.

There are many ways to help, massage and laser therapy are so beneficial to help ease pain.

How to massage your dog at home:

One of the most simple yet effective techniques to introduce to your dogs massage routine at home is Effleurage.

The next time you are sitting on the couch or the bed with your dog slowly start introducing them to massage.

Gently stroke them from the top of their head down to their tail. Using both hands glide them over the dogs skin with light pressure.

Check in with your dog, are they enjoying it? Are they beginning to fall asleep? Slowly and gently apply more pressure.

Can you feel the dogs muscles? Are they hard or are they soft? Do they flinch or twitch? Does the dog suddenly look at you or adjust their body?
You know your dog best. How do you think they are feeling?

At home massages are a great way to keep your dogs body relaxed and healthy in between their regular appointments with a professional. Canine massage professionals can use different massage techniques to help your dog even more. They are skilled to apply different amounts of pressure and know canine anatomy very well. But your dog will still benefit from some gentle massage at home.

I often get asked how do I know my dog needs a massage?
Or what should I be looking out for?

There are a few small signs that your dog is in pain.
You are the expert on your own dog, so if you think something is off - it’s highly likely something is!

I see hundreds of dogs and most signs are all very similar.

Muscle twitching is one of the most common ones and one of the easiest ones to spot.

Most dogs will avoid you touching them when they are in pain, they will move away or they will protect their sore area by adjusting their body position.

Another good one to spot is their coat patterns or texture. Does your dog have a spot in their fur that looks different to the rest?

If you need help identifying if your dog is in pain save this video for the next time you are sitting with your dog to test these things.

Have you been considering massage for your dog but just don’t think it’s worth it….?

Check out how massage helped this dog in one session.

At first the slightest touch on the dog’s muscles here have a massive impact on the dog.

I have found a big knot in the dog’s shoulder. I am only pushing very gently into this knot and the surrounding muscles, and you can immediately see how it affects the dog.
These muscle twitches and flinches are from being sore and over worked.

Sore and overworked muscles are more likely to result in further injuries or pain, as the body works to compensate for this tightness. Fascia over these muscles then cause even more tightness and there is a cascade effect.

As you can see in the second half of this video after I have worked on these muscles they are much more fluid and softer.
There is no more twitching or flinching and I am pushing a bit harder than I was at the start.
The skin slides much smoother over the tissue which means the fascia is a lot looser.
The big knot is gone and he will now be able to walk with much less pain.

So do you still think canine massage is not effective?
Let your dog show you how much better they feel after a session.
