Second live of the evening. Did you see us over on the VetChef page talking about Puppies? What topics would you like us to talk about?
Check out the sunset on our evening walk.
Is there a better sight on an evening walk?
A rather wet evening walk. I can’t wait for our ACE month in July! Who’s joining us?

Out for an even stroll with Rojo.

🐾 Opportunity Over Expectation 🐾
If you follow or work with us you may know that our mantra is to approach things with an ‘Opportunity over expectation’ mindset. This reduces pressure on our dogs (and us!), gives them choice and responds to their needs.
This video of Jonty is a great example of giving Jonty the opportunity of being in the environment rather than expecting that he will cope.
A few months ago Jonty would have found this environment really hard, resulting in jumping and grabbing. We had got Rojo out of the van for a sniff and a wee and then gave Jonty the opportunity for the same. The van was close so he could get back in if he wanted to, but you can see he copes really well; he has a sniff, a wee and then is ready to get back into the van.
Thank you The Soap Bar Café and The Somerset Toiletry for making our lives so much easier! Free Work soft stations are now sparkling 🫧🧺
Dropped in to @lostandgroundedbrewers last night to grad a tasty @fatdadskitchen and it was their dog day. So many dogs there that it was best for Rojo just to have a little space. At only 9 months he needs time to adjust and feel safe in his environment before getting close. Will definitely be visiting again! #pubdog #microbrewery #burgers
I challenge any dog to pee on this many trees. Another new secure field to explore.
Really looking forward to offering Fear Free Weighing sessions at @thevetchef from May. Drop us a message if you’d like to book in a slot. #fearfreetraining #acefreework #strouddogs
Another day and another trip to The Rambles. If you have any questions feel free to ask away.
