🦴🍗IT'S BONE BROTH DAY!🦴🍗
Lots of you have been asking for my bone broth recipe so here it is:

🍗🦴a good pile of meaty bones - I usually use lamb or chicken necks but you can use chicken feet, pigs feet etc. They all get removed anyway
🥦a handful of fresh parsley
🥕4 carrots
🌱 1 celery stick
🍎100ml apple cider vinegar or 🍋lemon juice if you can't get it (this is what makes it set into a gel)

Chop up the carrots and celery and put them in the pot with your bones and the parsley
Cover with water to about an inch over the top of your ingredients and add the apple cider vinegar/lemon juice
Simmer on low for about 8/9 hours or ideally overnight - I use the slow cooker for this as it's much easier.
Once it's done, remove all the bones and take extra care to remove all the really small ones.
When it's cool, scrape all the solid fat off the top. Then you can decant the broth into whatever you want to store it in.

The best way to store it is to freeze it in small containers and use it as and when you need to. I put some of mine into ice cube trays and pop one into the dogs' dinners on a warm day as a cooling treat, or just give them one as a treat anyway!

Here are a few of the potential health benefits of bone broth for dogs:
✅Bone broth supports bone and joint health thanks to the high levels of glucosamine and chondroitin
✅Acts as a general immune booster
✅Supports your dog’s digestive system and, because it’s easily digestible, helps to soothe tummy troubles
✅Packed full of minerals and nutrients that are made easily absorbable and usable because of the cooking method
✅Bone broth can help to relieve common food and environmental allergies
✅Boosts overall health and condition
✅Can help to relieve dry, itchy skin and can aid in conditioning the coat

Aside from those health benefits, bone broth has a number of other positives:
🍗Is highly palatable, so is tempting even to the fussiest dog
🍲Bone broth is ridiculously easy to make
💰It costs very little to make a large batch of bone broth
Here are a few things to remember about bone broth:
Bone broth is not a replacement for bone or bone meal in a raw diet

You absolutely do not need to throw away the meat, fat, and little bits of vegetables – your dog will love it all the more if you leave this in. Just make sure you get all the bone out.

Bone broth is absolutely fine if it doesn’t gel. Don’t throw away the broth just because it hasn’t gelled.
Using a variety of bones makes the best broth, rich in collagen, protein, marrow, gelatin, glucosamine, and chondroitin.
But most of all - your dog will LOVE it!

Bringing a new puppy home is magical… and also a little bit chaotic! 🐾✨
One moment you’re melting over that tiny face, and the next you’re wondering how a creature the size of a slipper can turn your entire house upside down.

The truth is:
💥 Puppies bite (a lot).
🌀 Routines feel impossible at first.
⏰ Sleep becomes a distant memory.
🚪 Door manners? What are those?
😅 And suddenly you’re questioning every decision you’ve ever made.

But here’s the other truth:
Your puppy isn’t trying to make life hard — they’re just learning how to be a dog in a human world. And that learning can feel overwhelming without the right guidance, especially when you’re juggling conflicting advice from the internet, well-meaning friends, and old-school training methods that don’t align with what we now know about canine behaviour.

If you’re feeling a mix of love, stress, exhaustion, and What on earth do I do now? — you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

👉 I help new puppy guardians navigate these early challenges using force-free, practical, and confidence-building methods.
👉 From biting and chewing to routines, socialisation, and early training — I’m here to make this stage easier, calmer, and a lot more enjoyable for both you and your pup.

If you’d like support, guidance, or a plan that actually works, send me a message or reach out via my website. I’m always happy to help you build a beautiful bond with your new little companion. 💛🐶

PRIVATE RUN FREE DOG PARKS

I need your feedback! How far would you travel for a completely safe, private dog park with everything your dog needs? Would you be prepared to pay?

Let’s talk:
✅ hire by the hour
✅ 2m fence all round
✅ different zones for play/rest/enrichment
✅ plenty of shady spots
✅ toys, balls, play areas
✅ agility zones
✅ water/pool
✅ cafe area for humans (can’t get there without ‘em!)

When we lived in the UK there were dozens of dog parks like this, but nothing here. Would you take advantage of this type of thing here?

Welcome to Dog School Nerja!

Welcome to Dog School Nerja - a new and innovative dog training company offering training classes, 121s and workshops throughout the Nerja area, both in-person and online.

My name is Karen and I’m the brains behind Dog School Nerja! My world is all about dogs and my mission is to show people how to build a meaningful relationship with their dog through training. My methods are simple, clear and easy to follow, but importantly; they involve modern, science-based theories that mean your dog will want to learn and grow into a happy, well-mannered member of the family. The days of intimidating dogs to do what we want are long gone and I can show you how to build a life-long bond with your dog where training is fun and enjoyable for both of you.

I take a holistic approach to training and look at the bigger picture; taking into account the dog’s physical, mental, emotional and social needs. And guarantee to use only the most up to date and kindest methods to teach both you and your dog using food, toys and praise. My objective is to provide a professional and supportive environment for you and your dog to thrive as a team as well as making training fun - after all everyone learns more when they enjoy what they're doing!

At the moment, I’m still in Scotland but if everything goes to plan, I’ll be up and running in the Spring of 2021, so keep a close eye on this page for updates. Online training options are available at any time and you can contact me personally Monday-Friday 10am-6pm through my website or email at [email protected]. You can also get in touch via social media on Facebook and Instagram.
