Watch out, some of those favourite treats are high in carbs.

Treats are great tools for training but don't overdo. If a treat can be broken in half, that's how I use them.

How lucky am I? On my way home today I had a stop to visit some puppies 🐶. It was so nice to see pups born in a home, sleeping in their mums mum's bedroom and following puppy culture. I think they are all beautiful, but Grover was my ❤️.

Hanging at the skate park. Scooby is showing his best pose ❤️, most of the time his nose is down sniffing away.

Walking early and keeping cool today....maybe the dinosaur 🦕 will be extinct by the end of the day.

Oh what a beautiful pose Scooby ❤️

That pose Daisy! She is sitting like the bestest pup. Benny checked out all the smells, then had pats on the lap ❤️. Abbey made sure she was always being patted or adored.

What a beautiful walk, Lacey has been practising to stay off the road when cars come past. Like with many dogs she ❤️ the movement. So even though there is no car going past atm, we still practise.

While scratching is a natural and essential part of feline behavior, it can become problematic when directed toward caregivers, furniture, and househol

Kitty Bo, she looks very spaced out? Yes, it is due to her gabapentin tablet that are given as a chill protocol for going to the vets. Kitty is a dream at the vets, but just in case she needs a blood draw, she has some gabapentin. Her owners have made sure she loves her carrier and enjoys squeezy treats.

Many cats develop a fear of certain stimuli after just one negative experience. To help shift their perception and create a positive association, you can begin desensitizing your cat to the feared stimulus.

For example, leave the cat carrier in a central area of your home to allow it to become part of your cat's daily environment. You might also start gently touching your cat’s paws to prepare for nail trims, focus on touching their ears to help with transdermal medications, or place a brush on the floor to ease them into grooming.

Each time your cat has a neutral or positive interaction with the stimulus—such as not hissing, growling, or running away—reinforce them with a treat or playtime. This helps to build a positive association with the object or experience.

Choose a specific time each day for this training, integrating it into your cat’s routine. Just five minutes a day can begin to change how they perceive what they fear.

Remember, if your cat shows any negative response, stop for the day and try again tomorrow.

Lacey and I took a wander this morning and found the water low. We did a walk and climbed a rock face that we haven't been able to access for years. What a wonderful day!

A big stretch from Jemima, followed by a pestering for her dinner with a pat near her bowl 🥣 😋. Basil inspects the feeding process and makes sure all leftovers are his 🤣.

My quality of work is their quality of life 🐾

Jemima is like a comet ... rarely seen. I know when she has been, as her food bowl is empty. But today, she waited for pats, her snacks, and then Basil swooped in. As you can see, he is wondering why her food bowl is missing. I feel privileged to have a pat.

Back with Basil and Jemima ❤️. Basil is being treated for diabetes, he is doing really well, and his owner left me comprehensive notes 📝. Which I love! I thought we might have an explore outside, but there have been some changes and Basil said not today.
