Had a lot of requests for these, so a few workshops coming up - see the blurb in the origional post

Hi Folks,
I've been very busy here, with summer 'stuff' as well as having my gorgeous grandsons to stay for a month. So if you have been wondering why not much was happening with group sessions, thats your answer!! (Still super busy with 1-to-1 stuff though)

Anyhow, there are a few group workshops lined up;

Loose Lead Workshop. Bellfield Park, Banchory. Saturday, September 27th 9.30am
Loose Lead Workshop. Westhill. Sunday, September 28th 9.30am
Recall & Impulse Control. Bellfield Park, Banchory. Saturday, October 4th 9.30am
Recall & Impulse Control. Westhill Secure Dog Park. Saturday October 11th 9.30am

Maximum of 6 dogs, as always. Suitable for overexcitable dogs, as we take each one out of the vehicle and train them individually.

You can find more information on me and what we will be doing either on my website jopick.co.uk
Or via the link for booking; https://portal.busypaws.app/customers/jo-pick-dog-trainer-behaviourist

Please get in touch if you would like more information

For those in the Inverurie area.
I can highly recommend Toni for anyone with more complicated dogs, especially those that can't go in group walks.
Toni is experienced with all types of animals, especially dogs, and has been working with dogs, including dog walking, for more than 10 years.

Her bio;

I have a lot of experience working with animals, and dogs in particular. I grew up on a rural estate and worked as a kennel assistant, training and taking care of the working dogs. We also kept and trained our own high energy working dogs as well as several other breeds. I have experience of working with dogs of various ages, from puppies to older dogs.

I am fully insured and have recognised qualifications in canine behaviour, as well as first aid and CPR (I always carry a first aid kit on walks). I also have a Disclosure Scotland certificate.

Fully insured, experienced dog walker offering walks in and around Inverurie to suit your needs.

Looking for a loving home, due to relationship breakdown-
Sweet but timid 5 year old collie, . Currently lives with other dogs & cats, has done some sheep work but has confidence issues & doesn’t get close to the sheep. She is a house dog but is happy to stay in a kennel too. She is a lovely dog who needs someone who has time & patience. She's is very obedient and doesn't stray far.
She has fear based aggression towards other dogs & humans she doesn’t know, but will avoid interactions. Once she trusts someone she is the sweetest & most loyal dog. Ideally suited to quiet, adult home only.

If anyone is going to Turrif Show today or tomorrow (this afternoon is probably your best bet, weather-wise!)
Do stop and say 'Hi' to Julia Sidell Photography
Julia comes to help walk dogs here at the Pet Hotel every other weekend and I have had fabulous photos taken of our family dogs. (One of which is hanging in the kennel building)
Shes not only a fab photographer, but understands dogs and handling them, so can get the best out of your dog, even if they arent a 'sit and pose' type 🥰 And, of course, she knows most of the dogs that stay with us already!

**Edit*** Lots of interest and a fabulous home is being talked to just now. So hopefully we have found the right place
Thank you for sharing and I hope everyone who contacted me finds a pupster suitable 💕

A friend is seeking a wonderful home for a young dog. Due to work and family commitments, this lovely little dog isn't getting the time she deserves.
She's 3/4 Labrador, 1/4 Cocker (but really more like a small Labrador). Tanna is a gentle dog who loves to be cuddled and snuggled. Although she has mostly lived in a kennel, she is absolutely brilliant inside the house and in a car, where she just lies down and relaxes. She has very good recall, but she tends to wander slightly too far on walks and off the lead. A quick shout is enough to get her to turn and return. She can walk at heel, although this is a bit rusty. She doesn't bark much. She will play fetch all day, every day — ball and food are her favourites.

As for drawbacks? Honestly, she doesn't have many. Maybe just that she sometimes drifts a bit too far while walking, and she's not always fully focused on you when outdoors — she's more on her own mission. However, she will always come back if called. She gets on well with other dogs. She is 2 years old, born in June 2023. She's also fantastic with kids, but she might take a hen given half a chance!

All potential homes will be vetted through me. The rehoming fee is £300 to ensure she goes to the right place. A spay contract will be in place, she is not to be bred from

Walks are starting earlier in this heat, will all be done by 9.
Thank you Idelle!
Fortunately the kennels stay cool. No windows facing the south ( the end wall, of Kennel 10 is South)
So they get sone sun in the runs first thing, though shaded by the hedge in the summer. And then the steading protects from the late afternoon until the evening, when the sun goes all the way around.

The opposite works in the winter, the worst of the weather hits the kennels on the back corner, protected by the trees, so the runs stay wind free. Some early morning sun warms up the runs ( hedge has no leaves!) And again late afternoon in the windows when it sets.
We do, of course, have underfloor heating for the winter, but ive never needed an AC unit for the kennels.
Great insulation helps, always!
