🤥👃Thursday Thoughts 👃🤥
(Written by unknown source but oh so good!) 😊
Walk with me; don’t just walk me. Slow down and see the world as I do. I know you’ve got things to do, places to be. But out here, with the ground beneath our feet and the sky above us, there’s a whole world worth noticing.
The autumn chill is in the air today, crisp and full of new smells. It’s different from yesterday, and different from the day before. Every day is new. The leaves crunch under my paws, and I stop to breathe in the rich, earthy scent of them. To you, it might just be a pile of leaves, but to me, it’s a story—one I can’t help but dive into, nose first.
There’s a squirrel somewhere nearby, I can sense it, darting up a tree, its tiny heart beating fast. And the wind carries whispers of things far away: a family cooking dinner, the trace of a cat that passed by early this morning, and the faint perfume of flowers holding on to their last bit of summer. It’s all here, swirling around us if you just take the time to notice.
You tug on the leash, eager to move on, and I can tell you’re thinking about something far away from here. But when we walk, truly walk, you and I can be in this moment together. Feel the cool air brush against your skin, let it wake you up. Notice how the sun filters through the branches, casting shadows that dance on the pavement. Hear the crunch of the leaves beneath our steps, like a secret rhythm just for us.
To you, it might be just another walk, a daily routine to tick off the list. But for me, every step is an adventure. Each scent is a clue, each sound a piece of a puzzle. When you walk with me, really walk with me, you’ll see it too. The world is bigger than what we’re rushing toward. It’s right here, in the small moments, in the quiet spaces between your thoughts.
So, slow down. Breathe. Let the chill fill your lungs and the colours fill your eyes. Walk with me, don’t just walk me. See the world as I do, if on

Tired, hot and another class has me with all the “lets enrich them like this tonight” 😂
I shouldnt say this is the lazy way… it’s actually one of the best! 🙌 however I do like to split them up for food to monitor intake 🤪
But if I only had one, not four… this would be my go too! 😃 This will keep them occupied for over 30 minutes 🙌
🔥 Cool Training Tip for Hot Days! 🔥
Keeping our dogs cool isn’t just about comfort—it’s essential for their safety and focus during training! Offering a simple ice cup treat can be a refreshing reward and mental enrichment all in one. 👏
Watching your pup enjoy ice helps them stay hydrated and can even encourage calm behavior in the heat.
Remember, always train in shaded areas, keep sessions short, and hydrate often during these high temps.

Lets Talk FACTS! 👏
Parvo is horrible! Agree! ✅ But so is a fearful, anxious, aggressive or unsocialised adult dog!
Fact - more dogs are euthanised from behavioural issues then Parvo disease 🥲
Fact - Safe puppy socialization is essential for your puppy’s development and helps them grow into a well-adjusted, confident adult dog. 🐶
At the same time, for puppies who haven’t completed their vaccinations, there’s a valid concern about exposure to parvovirus (parvo), a highly contagious and potentially deadly disease. 🦠
Why Socialization is Still Important 🤔
During their critical socialization period (about 3-16 weeks), puppies are highly impressionable. Positive experiences with other dogs, people, sounds, and environments help prevent fear-based behavioral problems later on. Finding ways to safely introduce your puppy to the world can make a big difference in their lifelong confidence and comfort.
Here’s how to balance these needs safely:
✅ Socialize in Controlled Environments
Limit exposure to areas where unvaccinated or unknown dogs might have been. Avoid public parks, pet stores, and other high-traffic areas for dogs until your puppy has completed their vaccinations.
✅ Meet Known, Vaccinated Dogs in a safe environment (eg your backyard)
✅ Carry Your Puppy in Public!
✅ Puppy Classes in Clean Facilities! Like ours! 👏
✅ Focus on Environmental Socialization
At home or in your backyard, introduce your puppy to different experiences like household sounds (vacuum cleaner, dishwasher), new objects (hats, umbrellas), and people wearing different attire. These exposures build confidence and resilience to novelty in a low-risk setting.
✅ Keep Vaccinations Up-to-Date
Puppies need a series of vaccinations, starting as early as six to eight weeks, to build immunity. Stay on top of their schedule, as each dose increases their level of protection against parvo and other diseases.
By combining these strategies, you can keep
