Hello all,

This sweetheart is Zico, an Akita x Husky pup aged 5 months 🥰
🐾
His hooman, Elaine Perreira, sought help with Zico as he's the family's first dog, & they've discovered he's highly anxious around strangers outdoors.
🐾
Unfortunately, the family have no transport which means they have no option but to walk Zico around the streets, which means his fear increased as there is no control over the environment.
🐾
However, all is not lost, & by working on her handling skills to better help Zico, he will quickly gain confidence so we can work on him making positive associations around strangers 😊

Lovely Larry is a Crossbreed aged 2 years who suffers some anxiety towards people; both around visitors to the home & strangers outside.
🐾
His hoomans, Steve & Janet Mann, sought help from Joyful Paws to help better manage his fear 😊
🐾
Happily, Larry is very responsive & quickly became relaxed around me, thanks to Calming Signals ❤️
🐾
He's is also coming on well outdoors as we give him the distance he needs to simply process his surroundings 😁
🐾
Well done guys, keep up the great work!

Bella
05/10/14 ~ 19/08/26

My beautiful Bella ~ a.k.a. Bellalulah, B***s, Boobalicious ~ very sadly passed away yesterday 💔
🐾
She was almost 12 years old ~ a grand age for an Old Tyme Bulldog, but old age took her from us 😪
🐾
She came to live with me when she was 7 months old, & lived her life to the absolute max!
🐾
She adored people, helped many dogs as part of the Joyful Paws team, & was a real character with her lopsided face, long tongue lolling out which everyone fell in love with, & her greatest love in life ~ rolling !! 🥰
🐾
Once again, my heart is broken, & words cannot express just how much I miss you.
🐾
Fly high, my sweet angel, until we are together again 💔❤️

Say a big 'Hello' to charming Cocker Spaniel puppy, Nayru ~ isn't she beautiful? 🥰
🐾
Her hoomans, Sam & Emma Cooper, are first time guardians, so booked in for assistance with training to ensure they were getting things right.
🐾
Everything has been going well, although training is currently on hold for outdoor sessions for Nayru & other clients as we all wait for this extended heatwave to pass!
🐾
Fortunately, they already have exercises in place to help provide Nayru with mental stimulation ❤️

This lil poser is 12 weeks old Moose, an English Bull Terrier ~ he looks like a professional male model, born to it A fly even landed on his paw, but he casually ignored it! 😅🥰
🐾
His hoomans, Ann & Andy Coran, have experience with EBTs, but Moose is a very strong-willed pup so they sought my help 😊
🐾
He's extremely bright & quick to learn, but has found it entertaining to use his teeth by launching at them to grab their clothing ~ as you probably know, puppies have very sharp teeth.
🐾
However, the guys are working hard & Moose is learning impulse control, discovering that there are calmer ways to gain attention, which are safe for his guardians ❤️

Archie is a gorgeous Cocker Spaniel aged 5 months 🥰
🐾
Being a working breed, he happily 'retrieved' a dead magpie & gifted it to his surprised guardians, Sarah & Mark Thomas, in their living room! 😅
🐾
Teaching the 'Off' exercise is one of the first things I teach, as it's important to be able to safely take things from a puppy's mouth or, indeed, from an older dog.
🐾
His general training is going well, & he loves to learn 🥰

This adorable pup is Ziggy, a Jack Russell Terrier aged 6 months 😍
🐾
His hooman, Lauren Carty, contacted Joyful Paws for assistance as Ziggy was biting & generally not listening!
🐾
After just his 1st session, he is already much calmer & is engaging with Lauren & her children 😊
More work yet to do, but a fantastic start 🥰

Please welcome gorgeous Goldie pup, Lexi ~ my new furball, who moved in aged 6 months 🥰
🐾
She was a rather unexpected addition to the Joyful Paws household, but was in need of a new home, & we were happy to oblige! 😁
🐾
She's been here for 6 weeks already, & my crew have accepted her & are helping teach her good manners.
🐾
She's even become part of the team already, having helped Rex to calm down 🥰
