New boy, Ilio, passed his assessment walk on Wednesday with my 3 dogs, Fletcher, Molly and Misty, with flying colours. He is a delightful boy who has great social skills with people and other dogs, good recall, and loves the van (aka the party bus).
I am happy to be able to integrate him straight into my regular off-lead social walks with a variety of dogs and to a variety of parks. Welcome Ilio 🐕 🐾 🐾

For YOUR exercise needs
To clear YOUR head
For YOU.
They stop for a second, they are pulled and yanked along.
and if I see one more dog limping beside a runner ....💥
Your dog wants to keep stopping.
You can't see exactly what is happening or the gait change in your dog because your eyes are forward, but you feel the "hesitation" from behind.

Some runners may see it as "interfering" with the pace you have set, so you may just keep "yanking" them along when they are trying to tell you stop...the only way they can.❗
Some people have heard running is great for dogs.
Well, that depends entirely on the length of time, the pace, the breed and the individual dog themselves.
Not every breed is built for what WE expect them to do.

This isn't anti joggers/runners as many walkers can do exactly the same.
You have 30 mins after work and you "must" do that 4 block circuit in 25 mins.

No stopping
No sniffing
No engagement

They stop for a second, they are pulled and yanked along.

If your exercise interferes with what your dog NEEDS....it's well and truly time to separate the two.
For everyone's benefit.

🐾💙 MUM AND PUP FOSTER HOMES NEEDED!!

We are in desperate need of foster homes who can care for nursing mums and their pups.

We currently have one mum in our care who has 6 x 2 week old puppies and needs a new foster home to move into. This beautiful medium sized mum and her pups will need care for around 6 weeks until the puppies are old enough to go to their forever homes.

We have also been notified of a mum in a regional pound who we would love to save but need to have a foster home lined up for her to go to before we can arrange transportation to Perth. She is also medium sized with 7 puppies who are approximately 5 weeks old and will need care for approximately 2 - 3 weeks.

Everything required like food, bedding, toys, puppy pads etc is provided by DRH. Of course all vet care costs are covered by us too, what we are asking for is a safe, warm and loving home for them to grow.

The requirements:
💙A pet free home
💙Someone home more often than not
💙Lot's of TLC

Please apply below if you can help with either of these cases, or email [email protected] if if you're an existing carer or have applied to foster.

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.
