One of the key skills needed as a bodyworker is to listen .... why is that important?
๐ŸŽ 1. listening to the horse; they communicate constantly, particularly during bodywork sessions, and some of their cues can be incredibly subtle - a flicker of an eye, the twitch of a muscle, which provides me with clues to investigate
๐Ÿ“ 2. listening to you, the owner; you know your horse better than anyone and the information you provide on how your horse is performing is as valuable to me as my dynamic observations
๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ 3. listening to experts; equine research is continually evolving and keeping up to date with new techniques and scientific research is critical for a professional bodyworker

This gorgeous husky came in for a deshed groom yesterday. Her owner attended to help ease her anxiety about being groomed, resulting in a stress free experience for her. Iโ€™m fear-free certified and use lots of positive reinforcement to help dogs have an enjoyable grooming experience.

Iโ€™m happy for owners to attend the grooming session if they have anxious dogs as it helps relax the dog and work towards a solo session.

๐ŸŽ„5 tips for making the holiday period stress-free for your dog๐ŸŽ„

Christmas often brings a change of routine and in the home environment with extra visitors and noise, which can prove stressful for dogs. Here are some tips to make the holiday season less stressful for your furry friends.

๐ŸŒŸ plan ahead and create a safe place for your dog in a room or crate where they can choose to go to if they need some space โ€“ this should be somewhere they want to go to willingly, not somewhere theyโ€™re forced to go, or used as a punishment

๐ŸŒŸ leave them a special long lasting treat in their safe space - stuffed Kong toys are great for this and can be prepared in advance

๐ŸŒŸ ask guests not to disturb your dog when theyโ€™re in their safe space

๐ŸŒŸ watch them closely for signs of anxiety or being overwhelmed

๐ŸŒŸ provide doggy treats, rather than human food, for your guests to give to your dog to prevent upset tummies (Doggie Delights Wairarapa make some awesome treats - check out their page https://www.facebook.com/share/1XYCwfYwZB/?mibextid=kFxxJD)

Posting on behalf - meet Freya: your ultimate loving companion!
Beautiful 5 year old Golden Labrador is looking for a new, cat-free home.
๐Ÿ“ž Contact Stephen directly on 029 920 3681 for more info/adoption enquiries.

Freya has a heart as big as her energy. If youโ€™re looking for a dog whoโ€™s always ready for fun, cuddles, and lots of love, Freya might just be your perfect match!

Freya is much loved in our family and weโ€™re only looking to re-home due to merging two households of animals, which includes cats. Unfortunately Freya is not a good fit for cats or smaller animals (except dogs)

About Freya:
๐Ÿถ high energy, always up for an adventure
๐Ÿถ affectionate & eager to show you just how much she cares
๐Ÿถ LOVES cuddling & will happily roll onto her back for a tummy rub
๐Ÿถ water loverโ€”whether itโ€™s a swim or just a splash, sheโ€™s in! She also loves a good towel rub down.
๐Ÿถ happy, content & always ready to brighten your day with her playful personality

Freya needs a home where she can be the center of attention and get the companionship and affection she craves. Sheโ€™s great with both dogs and children, making her a wonderful family addition.

What Freya needs:
โœ… a loving environment where she can receive plenty of attention
โœ… family or individual who can match her energy and playfulness
โœ… a home that can accommodate her high prey drive (sheโ€™s best suited for a cat, chicken & rodent free environment)

Freyaโ€™s affectionate, loving & happy nature nature will bring so much joy to the right home.
