So proud of the confidence this girly has grown over the last few months 💪

I'm so impressed with Bonnie and her loose lead walking 🤩 she's only 9 months old and doing amazing 👏 ❤️ Caroline Tilley Sarah Matthews Dog Training

I took Honey into Jollye's tonight (we are doing the Paws Explore Ulti-Mutt Advent calendar! We are a day behind already 😂) and they have the giant snuffle dice on sale right now!

Enrichment should be accessible to all, regardless of budget. Yes, I have my own enrichment items for sale which I've either crafted myself or have carefully selected for customers, and yes, I would love it if everyone bought from my small business, but that's not always possible for all people. These snuffle cubes are decent quality and good value at £4.99. Put in a few treats and your dog will have a great time foraging for the food in the different pieces!

A fun but muddy morning spent at Redwood Dog Play Park with my boys - an hour well spent for a day of peace and quiet

CAN YOU GUESS THE BREED? 🧐
My terrible photography wont help so I'll give you a clue - this breed has a particularly fancy way of sitting when they want to show off, in fact it's such a common position amongst them that it's even been nicknamed after the breed...

💪💪💪CLIENT UPDATE💪💪💪 When you start your training package with me it's not just about the in person support - I'm here 24/7 to talk you through the daily struggles, cheer you on at every little win and to share the load when things get too tough. It was wonderful when not even 24 hours after her first session Bonnie's owner shared this lovely video - "it's ok to look... But not bark" was the assignment and she definitely understood it 😂 I can't wait to see how this dedicated team progresses over the next few weeks! #teenspirit #northernireland #larne #dogtraining #nidogs #northernirelandfyp #anxiousdog #leadwalking #confidenceiskey #settlepetal

"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward." – Martin Luther King Jr. Some days moving forward can look like decompression walks and self care, on others it may be a good training session or two... so keep moving forward at your own pace and you'll find it's a much happier journey 💚 #northernireland #nidogs #dogtraining #dailylife #dailyquotes #reactivedogtraining #rescuedogsrock
