Say it with me: “Don’t approach my Reactive Dog.”

This is your permission to say it.

“Don’t approach my Reactive Dog.”

If someone else’s dog is pulling toward yours, “Don’t approach my Reactive Dog.”

If a child is running towards your dog, “Don’t approach my Reactive Dog.”

If someone is going to pet without asking, “Don’t approach my Reactive Dog.”

Say it. Square your shoulders, breathe in from your gut, and say it from your gut. Deep and clear. Hold your hand out in a “stop” motion. Force distance. “Don’t approach my Reactive Dog.”

Saying it is not rude. Saying it is nothing to be ashamed of. Saying it doesn’t make it your fault if the other person gets all weird on you. It’s okay if it’s a little awkward. The moment will end, and everyone will be better off for it.

Saying it is your job. It is your job to keep your dog safe and other people safe from your dog.

Saying it is being a good community member and good dog owner. Just like you’d yell “look out” if you saw someone about to be hit by a car.

You can add “please” to the front. You can add “they’re not friendly” or “they’re reactive” or “they’re in training and not ready for approaches yet” at the end. As long as you say it.

You can yell it, if someone isn’t listening. You can change it to “Get away from us right now,” if you have to. You can say it over and over and over, no matter what the other person says back to you.

For anyone struggling with reactivity, here is a good place to start: https://braintrianing4dogs.com/reactivedogs

This is your mantra. This is your permission. “Don’t approach my Reactive Dog.” I’ve always found that a double leash/lead are great for assisting in the control of your reactive dog. Check it out here https://www.tailspinpetworx.com/blogworx/2020/5/29/the-reactive-dog-well-dressed

The struggle is real today…. Even in the shade! I’ve been on the go since 6am to accommodate earlier cooler walks and will be on the go till about about 8pm to accommodate later cooler walks too. With a couple of exceptions in very shaded careful conditions between midday and 3pm for those dogs home alone today. Please be mindful and careful in temps above 25 degrees. I’m not going to kill myself or any dog for anyone.

Steer clear of this lady and her dogs. Incident in Cator Park late morning today where this lady’s brown male long haired greyhound was unsupervised, off lead, roaming free and it attempted to attack the two dogs I was walking on lead at the time. The dog was aggressive lunging unprovoked in any way at the dogs with me twice and then when I pushed it away the 3rd time it turned on me. I contacted the police immediately and she and her dogs have been reported. The dogs with me are safe and well and remained unharmed. An eye witness stopped and stayed with me whilst I contacted the police and reported the incident. The lady in question became very confrontationally aggressive and argumentative returning back to the scene. She refused to put her dogs back on lead and whilst she continued to shout and attempt to argue with me and the gentlemen and his dog who waited with me, her dogs roamed free including the aggressive one which also had a go at another dog whilst she attempted to argue with me whilst I was reporting the incident via the phone to the police. She fled the park 20 mins after the incident with her dogs but the witness who waited with me told me he’s had similar issues where her dog has attempted to attack his dog before and he’d witnessed the same with other dogs too before. He provided his details. I have a crime ref. Please steer clear of this irresponsible lady and her aggressive dog if you see them for your own safety and the safety of your dogs and any children you may have with you.

There’s a new private dog walking field opened up recently based very close near near Shire Lane not far from Biggin Hill and it’s called Allseasons paw park . It’s secure and can be pre-booked in advance. I’ve heard some great things about this new private dog walking area already and it’s only been open for just over a week… so it’s only fair that I share the information with my dog friendly followers, clients and other local dog residents as it’s just a short drive from the Bromley area. Check out the details from the shared post below. I’ve not used it yet myself but it’s on my list and I’d love to hear other peoples thoughts and feedback 👇🏻🐾😉

So true!

Why do ‘Dog Walkers’ charge a Retainer fee? Reatiner fees are charged to ensure your dog/s keep their place secure every week and to ensure the minimum commitment of at least 1x dog walk/service is booked every week. A retainer fee is paid each week in advance in lieu of services booked each week so that during weeks of absence this weekly fee ensures that your place is not taken up by other customers waiting for a service with us. This also enables Mr.Paws to continue providing a flexible service guaranteeing your dog walking requests (even if ad hoc each week on changing days) are fulfilled week after week. You wouldn’t take your child out of their nursery for several weeks and still expect their space to be available or not to be taken by another child when you decide you want to return your child to that same nursery several weeks later. This is why retainers are introduced to most businesses. I’ve operated a fully flexible range of services to my clients for 7 years with just 2x previous rates increases during that time and I’m still operating without previously charging a retainer…. But I can’t continue to offer the same level of service, flexibility and commitment without a little bit of commitment back sadly. I wish I could and after 7 years I now need to safeguard my work and business by introducing a retainer like so many other dog walking businesses. I wish I didn’t have to but to continue operating I do now need to. If my clients continue to commit to me then I can continue committing to them and the lovely dogs I have spent time building great trusting relationships with over the last 7 years 🙏🏻🐾🐕‍🦺🦮🐕

July 1st is National ID Your Pet Day. This important day is a time for all pet owners to make sure that their pet’s identification information is current. This precautionary measure is a vital part of caring for your pet today and I will be sending messages to all my clients this evening to ensure all the information I hold is fully up to date for each dog I walk and care for 🪪🐾🐕🦮🐕‍🦺🐩

I turned my back for about 15 seconds…. When I had turned back all the dogs had taken shelter from the pouring rain under the parasol at the table. Clever doggies

I’m going off the grid for a few days from Thursday 2nd May until Tuesday 7th May (returning to and available for work on the Tuesday) and taking a few days long overdue and much needed RnR time out over the long bank holiday weekend for just ME for once. I will be recharging my mind, body and soul away from all contact, socials, etc 🙏🏻☀️I really need this time to stop and take a break. I will catch up with ya’ll on the other side 😉

So… dog walking - the best job in the world?! Yes… It can be.

But like any job it has its challenges that most people don’t see or realise. Although 99.9% of the time I make it look easy and stick to timings and schedules whilst working most days back to back on group walks without a single break for 7 hours…because I work with animals in all weathers there is an element of unpredictability that very rarely and occasionally impacts on the day; from bad weather or severe weather conditions (hot/wet/windy/cold) to dogs acting unpredictably, the very extremely rare occasions an accident/incident may happen that requires a visit to the vets… I’ve even been admitted to A&E from a dog attack (someone else’s dog, not any in my care) and I needed emergency stitches (the attacking banned breed dog could not be controlled by its owner and it tried to maul my arm and only just missed a main artery in my wrist) to also being completely covered from head to toe in fox p**p (my hair/eyes/face/clothes) and fighting back the urge to vomit from the stench and needing to not only clean the dog/s up but also take time out to clean myself up and completely change clothing.

My job has its ups and downs like any other but usually I’m happy to say that it’s mainly plain sailing 👍🏻 And due to the unpredictability there are rare occasions out of my control where all I can do is crack on as best as possible, keep people informed and apologise when needed 🙏🏻

Between severe heavy rain downpours this morning, about 5 mins of scorching sunshine after that…. It’s now severe weather warning gale force winds! There’s people crashing cars, trees coming down, fences blowing in. Stay safe out here here today all. This weather is so unpredictable.

I accidentally left a p**p bag on a clients front wall today. Their dog laid a 3rd p**p bomb just as I was returning him home and I was so focused on bagging it up, getting it off their doorstep and then getting their boy all cleaned up, dry and mud-free post walk, that I completely forgot to grab it as I was leaving 🤪 I feel terrible! Partly because it’s so unlike me to forget, but also coz I’ve been working through a rotten viral cold all week too… but it’s probably only the 2nd time I’ve done it in over 4 years 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️💩 I’m not gonna beat myself up about it though.

This lady (clearly a dog walker) ignoring all the dog control laws and dog walking rules/safety regs… which means she’s breaking the law. I’m a dog walker myself and there’s nothing lovelier than watching the dogs off lead frolicking and having fun in … but why when the rest of us stick to the law should this lady be allowed to get away with it! The rules and law is clear…. No more than 3 dogs at a time and only 2 off lead in any group of 3 at the same time - unless displaying a licence to walk 4. So 6 dogs all off lead with no care or thought for the regs, the law, no thought for others or the guidance, safety and dog control laws. Posting on here this time as a nudge to those flaunting their ignorance or disregard for the law. I will report next time

Very proud of this little boy today! Jack is not a fan of the vets so I pulled out every trick in the book and took him on behalf of his human today…. And it paid off. Apart from a slight whimper on arrival outside the vets, he was as good as gold. No reaction. As calm as he could be and he even made friends with the nurse/reception and allowed the vet to give him a welcome hug. Tip top condition too. Perfect weight. All good 👍🏻 Well done Jack 🫶🏻🐕

None of the usual dog walking crowd seem to have been out this morning. It’s been very quiet in but I’m still out with the furry gang marching on in all weathers. It’s going to be a very busy day…. and moist 💧🌧️☔️ But the dogs still need their walks 🐾

Yep… that’s about right 🤣🤷🏼‍♂️

This little guy is growing fast at 7 months but he’s settling in very well with the extended furry gang and finding his stride with each and every walk…. and it’s great getting to know new dogs and integrating them with the existing doggy famalam and pack. He’s loving life and his new furry friends 🐾👌🏼🦮
