Sometimes during training sessions people get a bit concerned about the amount of treats I use to mark the behaviours we want so I thought I would put it into perspective…

I am actually super stingy, this one small sausage (that’s a teaspoon) is cut into 72 pieces! That’s one hell of a lot of training repetitions. Bear in mind, each training session when you are practising at home should only be a few minutes long so you would probably use 20 pieces at the most 3-4 times a day, not even a full sausage!

Treats are just a marker to communicate that the dog is doing what we want, we don’t need to give a full treat each time. You can even use part of their daily food allowance if you are really concerned about the extra calories. So get chopping and get training 🐾

With temperatures reaching below freezing today and tomorrow we've had to cancel any walks for today and will re-assess tomorrow morning!

The weather has caused a few incidents and the roads have become unsafe, please be careful when travelling! 🚗

If you are walking your dogs in the snow please take care and ensure they're suited up for the low temps. 🌡️

Update on Maia's surgery: she's fully recovered and back to causing absolute mayhem! This was her & Atlas after her first off lead walk, absolutely covered in mud as a spaniel should be! 😂🐾

It's been wet, windy, snowy and sunny the past few weeks but we've had the best time regardless! ❄️💨☔⛅

I'd just like to say a massive thank you to all our clients & their pets for their patience and understanding the past few weeks.

Unfortunately we had some upsetting medical news just before Christmas which required us to attend multiple medical appointments at quite short notice, resulting in cancelled and rearranged walks & visits which isn't something we like doing at the best of times.

But thanks to the understanding and compassion from you lot it's allowed us to attend these appointments together and grieve in our own time, so thank you. 🫐🦋

We're looking forward to getting back to normal with all of our amazing clients & their pets! 🐈🐕

Just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻🦌Hope you all have an awesome day however you're spending it 😊❄️

How we're keeping our 2 high energy breeds occupied whilst it's too hot for walks... 🐾 Scent work! A great way to mentally stimulate and enrich your dogs life, appropriate for all breeds of all shapes and sizes, and incredibly adaptable too! You can make it as easy or as hard as needed to suit your dogs abilities, from scattering some treats in the long grass to hiding high value snacks in more difficult places, like up trees or crevasses in walls! 🧱 🌲🐽

Dealing with hyperarousal when out on walks: ✅️ Prep games to keep arousal levels low before hand ✅️ Calming scent work whilst out on the walk ✅️ Keeping engagement and engaging the brain! ✅️ Having fun! Great work with this lil guy! 🐾

13 minutes of sniffing trimmed down to just 13 seconds! Lots of scent games and searching for the boys on their drop-in visit during the 25° heat 🥵🌡🔥 Whilst we're not going on walks we're still able to provide plenty of enrichment as well as toilet breaks & water refills during our drop-in sessions! 🐾

Your pets welfare is always our top priority, so we've invested a little into ensuring they stay cool this summer! 😎 🌞 In addition to our crate system, cooling beds, individual crate fans & fresh water bowls, we've added a full air cooling system designed to pull the hot air from inside the van, keeping it cool in even on the hottest of days! 🌬❄️ We even went a step further and had it wired to a leisure battery so it stays running even when the van is off, keeping it cool no matter what! 🚐🐶
