Welcome to all the new and returning pack members!! 🤗🐶

We are settling everyone in to their adventure groups before we open for new applications.

Making sure that all doggos are happy and comfortable in their group is very important, it makes sure that everyone is their happiest and having the best time while out and about 😊🐕🌲☀️🐾

What would your dog say their name is based on what you always call them? 🐶

We have space for 2 more clients in the Group Adventures 🙌😁

We have also started 2hr Adventures on Tuesdays, where your dog will spend 2hrs exploring, sniffing and having fun with friends! Travel time is not included, so your dog will be out of the house for much longer 😉

Would your dog like to join us? DM us for more info or an application form 🐕🐾🌲☀️

How many times a day you say ‘YES’ to your dog? 🤔

Focus on what your dog is right, instead of what they are doing wrong, and see how their behaviour transforms and grows 🌞🌱

You are helping them figure out what you DO wants from them, instead of only what you DONT want from them 🙂

Every dog needs off lead time. Time to move freely. To follow their nose. To run. To snuffle in the undergrowth. Or swim. Or dig. Or do whatever ‘dog stuff’ they love to do.

What that ‘off lead’ time looks like will vary from dog to dog. It doesn’t have to mean totally off lead in a park around people and other dogs. It can mean using a long line, hiring a secure field or taking them somewhere secluded. And, although daily off lead time is ideal, something is better than nothing so do what you can.

It might feel scary to let our dogs off lead. We might worry about losing them, or them running away, or their interactions with other off lead dogs. But some risk is inherent in life and we do our dogs a disservice if, in trying to protect them, we deny them more freedom. We have to balance those risks with the rewards. We can mitigate risk by choosing the environment wisely, by training our dogs to come back when they’re called, by using equipment like long lines as a safety net when it’s needed.

Giving our dogs more freedom can take a little bit of effort & creativity but your dog will thank you for it.

Sometimes we accidentally teach dogs or cats to do things we don’t want.
