Beautifully said ❤️. It breaks my heart when I see people rushing their dogs along and pulling their leads when the dog is trying to stop and sniff 😔

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 only for a little while. It’s all waiting for you, just beneath the surface.

Please sign this petition to phase out greyhound racing in WA (closing date 12 August). It is not a sport that belongs in a civilised society that values animal welfare. The dogs have miserable lives stuck in kennels and only survive is they are worth $$$. The ones that race get injured and euthanised, and if they survive their short racing career, they are either euthanised or a kind-hearted person will give them a home. A home that could have been a space for one of the thousands of pound and rescue dogs who desperately need a home. The greyhounds who are too slow are euthanised or rehomed, again blocking a space for a pound/shelter dog.

If you care about dogs, sign the petition please.

🚨WESTERN AUSTRALIA WE HAVE 10 DAYS TO GO🚨

Please help our friends Free the Hounds by adding your name now if you want to help greyhounds live a life FREE OF RACING.

From my friend Ruth:

Please consider rescuing rather than buying. I volunteer every Saturday at the amazing Dogs' Refuge Home WA INC and can attest that there are so many gorgeous dogs waiting patiently every week for a second chance at a happy life, and a wonderful family to adopt them. It’s the most rewarding feeling when you do.🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️

Lovely pups Zola, Rocket, Ollie and my girl Misty exploring sniffs together at Vellgrove Park. I often think that the dogs must wonder why we humans don’t join in the sniffs. They must think we are weird 😄). Rocket likes to stretch up on his tiptoes for the running water rather than the bowl- it’s very cute 🥰

All the dogs have clear preferences about so many things eg how they get water, what toys they choose, what treats they prefer, where they like to sit in the party bus (my van), which dogs they prefer to hang out with, which parks they find more stimulating, which sniffs (objects, areas) they are drawn to.

It is so important for us to give our dogs choices so they can express their individuality and experience true joy in their lives ❤️

Morris Buzacott park is one of my favourite parks because there are so many offshoots to explore with lots of trees and bushes and variety for the dogs plus open space if they want a runaround. Here are old timers Jax, Jelly (I’ve been walking them for 6 years and 7 1/2 years respectively )my boy Fletch, and not such an old timer (only 3 years) Rosie ❤️🐾

My Story

Hi, my name is Julia. I set up Paws Pet Care in 2014 to meet the growing demand for dog walkers that is a reflection of our busy lifestyles and many people struggling to find time to walk their dogs. I have since qualified as a dog trainer https://www.imdt.uk.com/find-a-qualified-imdt-trainer.html DOG WALKING Dogs ideally need to go for a walk at least once a day. If your dog is a sociable, vaccinated, desexed dog, I can collect him/her and take him/her to an off-lead park with up to 4 other social dogs where they can run around and play with each other and with me, sniff, fetch toys - whatever they love to do for at least 45 minutes and then get dropped home. I charge $27.50 for this service. I call the dogs to me many times on these walks and reward them with treats when they come. Even the dogs who are slow to start with soon speed up when they see the others getting treats. Many of my clients have thanked me for improving their dog’s recall (see testimonials on my website). If your dog has special needs e.g. poor recall, anxiety but is non-reactive, these walks are $55/45 mins. Dog-reactive dogs are $65/45 mins. When I walk dogs, I work hard to engage them and keep their focus on me by playing and interacting with them almost constantly (unless I've invited them to go off and play with other dogs or sniff for a bit where I will supervise but give them freedom and the space they need) which gives them a fun experience and reinforces that the human initiates all good things and therefore is to be listened to at all times. Dogs who do not get enough mental or physical exercise often resort to unwanted doggy behaviours such as chewing, digging and barking to alleviate their boredom and frustration. Giving your dog the opportunity to get out and have a good walk/run while you're at work/away will make him/her, and You, feel so much better. Surcharges apply for ad-hoc walks, and weekends/public holidays/peak holiday periods. Please see website for details https://pawspetcare.com.au/pricing/ DOG TRAINING I offer training for humans who are struggling with their dogs and can show you how to address many of the common issues e.g. won’t come back to you when called on walks, digging, chewing, nipping, barking, jumping up, pulling on lead etc.

The initial session is $155.00 for a minimum of 90 minutes and includes ongoing support between sessions. Follow- up sessions are $65 for 45 minutes. Please see my website for more information - pawspetcare.com.au. Initial training is conducted at your house (within 10km of Radnor Street, Leeming. Travel surcharges apply over 10km or I can recommend trainers who live nearer to you).

Additional training sessions are $65.00/45 mins. If recall is the main issue, we can use this time at a park to practise what you’ve learned.

I also offer Walk and Train – these are on-lead walks where I can teach your dog focus/connection with handler, loose-leash walking, come, sit, stay, leave it, down etc. These are $65.00/45mins.
