Coat hook in my Gym….. you can tell it’s not your typical Gym 😂😂

Training leash, tug toy and bite sleeves 🤦‍♂️🤣

“Just Put your jacket on the floor”…. Or take your complaint up with management, ask for ‘TACO’

Happy New Year All 🍾🥂

Every year me and my 2 girls drive to the Forth Road bridge to bring the bells in ❤️……it’s tradition now, they were supposed to be at their mums tonight but they said this is what we do and came to mine instead.

I try my hardest every year to be the best Dad I can be, so this is exactly the way I start my year with it just being me and my kids by my side(Baxter is too old now, he just gets a text 😂)

2025…. A year I don’t even want to reflect on too much tbh.

I do want to thank each and every one of you though for your custom, your support, your gifts and honestly as much as you might not think much of it but just a simple smile and a chat…. It’s the small things that mean the world and especially when the pressure of the world is on someone’s shoulders.

It has been a challenging year, more than anyone actually knows, but it’s nearly over and I’m never one to back out of a challenge anyways.

Roll on 2026 and I’ll class it as a clean slate and ready to take on whatever comes my way 💯💯

All the Best Folks from me and my Team BOSS and if your all having a wee drink, have one in remembrance of ‘THE MANIAC’ ❤️💔❤️💔

Celebrate Like A BOSS.

Happy New Year 🎉🎊🎉🎊

Last dog of the year dropped off, last trays of dog food just delivered….. and last time I’m taking these stinking covered in mud clothes off in 2025. What a year it’s been 💯💯

💥💥 NEWEST RECRUIT 💥💥

Big ‘DOUGIE’ has joined Team BOSS for a bunch of weekly walks…..

It’s funny because I get quite a lot of people asking about walks/training days off the back of contacting other dog walkers and as soon as they say their dog is ‘Reactive’ it’s like, “aye this guy Mark will do it, here’s his number” 🤦‍♂️🤣

I met Dougie in his house before Christmas and he’s a nice big guy, but yesterday I was taking him a trial run and would he get in the van with other dogs in it??….. not a chance(I’m surprised I don’t get bitten at this point 😂).

Anyways, he was getting a bit too stressy after a couple attempts so for his sake I said I’d come back with an empty van. He still didn’t want to go in, but tbh, it’s not his choice…. He’s going(this is far easier with a small dog you can just lift and put in a crate 💯). A swift move, no time for him to back out and he was up and in the crate….. sorted.

He lay down nice n calm and quiet until we got to the walk. We then went away a decent walk, and he’s supposedly a really bad leash puller but a wee few adjustments and it was a pretty relaxed enjoyable walk.

We got back to the van and he still wasn’t exactly ecstatic about going back in, and now I had KOBA in the crate just above him to add a little more pressure….. but back in he went 👌.

If you live your life ‘putting off’ what your dog decides it doesn’t want to do your just giving yourself and the dog, problems.

Read the dog, give enough pressure, but know when to back off if it’s getting a bit too much…. And obviously praise the desired outcome.

I like the fact his owner also had the attitude that ‘he will go in, just lift him’ 😂….. when a dog does something once, second time is far easier.

Another cool big GSD on the books 🔥🔥

💥💥 TIME TO ACTUALLY OPEN 💥💥

If you follow the page you’ll know that I’ve had a serious spanner thrown in the works due to leaks in the roof….. but I need to just work with what I’ve got and see how it goes as the building now needs to try and bring in some money to pay itself.

From Monday the shop will be opening the below times and I will adjust to increased hours if the demand shows quickly enough as I will put staff in.

The address is:

Unit 10
Thistle business park
Broxburn
EH52 5AS

It’s right next door to Home Bargains.

The signage for the old pet shop is still up as I didn’t want to go spending more money replacing signs until the roof issues were resolved so the entrance is the glass doors at the front of the pet shop building

And Yes, I’ll have some of my dogs with me everyday, so you’ll get to meet the Team 👌🔥🔥

Hopefully 2026 brings me a bit better luck as I’ve literally worked constant to get to where I’m at and I really really need a break 😂😂.

Getting his proper mature look starting to shine through now 💯💯

I’ve upped his food that much that he’s sometimes not even finishing a meal but we are burning that much energy off each day that he needs it so high 💪
