🎆 New Year’s Eve is exciting for us… but not always for our dogs 🎆

As fireworks light up the sky tonight, many dogs will be feeling anxious, scared, or overwhelmed by the noise. A little preparation can make a big difference 💛

Our top tips to keep your dog safe and calm tonight:

🐶 Walk earlier – Get walks done before dusk when fireworks usually start.
🏠 Create a safe space – A quiet room, favourite bed, blankets, or even a crate can help them feel secure.
🔊 Muffle the noise – Close windows and doors, play calming music or turn the TV on to drown out the bangs.
🦴 Distraction helps – Long-lasting chews, puzzle toys, or a stuffed Kong can keep their mind busy.
🧘 Stay calm yourself – Dogs take cues from us. Reassurance is good, but try not to panic or over-fuss.
🚪 Secure your yard – Fireworks can cause dogs to bolt. Double-check gates, fences, and ID tags.

If your dog struggles badly with fireworks, chat to your vet ahead of time about calming options for future events.

From all of us at 4 Dogs Walking, we wish you and your four-legged family a safe, calm and happy New Year 🐕🎇
Here’s to many more walks together in the year ahead!

TIME TO HANG UP THE LEADS FOR A SHORT BREAK🎄🦮

What a year it’s been looking after your gorgeous pooches – muddy paws, zoomies, slobbery kisses and all. 🐶✨

4 Dogs Walking will be closed from Thursday 25th December and back on Monday 12th January for a much-needed breather and reset after a very busy year with the pack.

Thank you for trusting us with your dogs , it’s a joy and a privilege to be part of their lives (and yours). We’re recharging our batteries so we can come back refreshed, ready for more walks, playgroups and adventures in the new year.

If you have any questions about bookings around these dates, please get in touch before the break.

Big love to you and your four-legged family members 🐾

🐶 SHOW US YOUR BABIES 👶

We spend our days hanging out with your gorgeous grown-up doggos – we know who hogs the ball, who won’t get out of the van, and who has to say hello to every human at the park… 👀

But now we want to know… what were they like as tiny pups? 🥹✨

Were they all ears and paws? The cheeky sock thief? The sleepy snuggler?
Drop a puppy photo of your dog in the comments and tell us their name + one word to describe them as a pup vs now.

We’re ready for all the “awwww”, the glow-ups and the hilarious before & afters.
Go on – make our day and show us your 4 Dogs Walking pups… back when they were pocket-sized! 💛

We Wanna Know?

A, B or C, which one is your experience when walking your pooch when they just come to a halt!

Dogs really are curious, and funny. Sometimes there is just no explanation for their antics.

If you have a few minutes to help our local rescues?

✨ A tiny task that makes a big difference for our rescue pups! ✨

The University of Melbourne is running a quick 20-minute survey on disaster-relief preparedness — and if you take part and list Mornington Peninsula Dog Rescue as your community group, we receive $25 for every completed survey… plus another $25 after a short 5-minute follow-up in a few months. 🌱

Important:
🌊 This survey is only open to residents living on the Mornington Peninsula.
So if you call the peninsula home, this is such an easy way to support our rescue without spending a cent, fostering, or adopting.

Just send us a PM for the link — your participation helps us cover vital vet bills and keep saying “yes” to dogs who need us most.
Thank you, truly. 💚🐶💙

Union Representative ✊🐶

3 reasons she’s earned the title:

1️⃣ She always takes the highest seat in the house — perfect for monitoring workplace conditions (and treat rations).
2️⃣ Supervises, “I’ll just lay on here and watch you work.”
3️⃣ Refuses to move unless negotiations improve — more pats, more snacks, more respect for break time.
