Hi PoochLovers.

We appreciate that some unforeseen event may affect your pets pre booked appointment and we do hope to see you again as soon as we possibly can.

However cancellation fee's apply now to all appointments missed, regardless of the cause (may be waivered under some circumstances) if we have not been given less than 48hr notice.

This is because our overheads do not alter, and so empty slots in our schedule we cannot fill equates to missing revenue which we simply cannot afford to absorb without increasing prices for everyone or going out of business.

We appreciate your understanding 🙏

How to Train Your Dog to Avoid Cars

Teaching your dog to avoid streets, traffic, and cars is important for their safety. While dogs are not initially afraid of cars, it's crucial to instill a sense of caution in them. Here are some tips to help you achieve this:

1. Understand the Importance: It's essential to recognize why teaching your dog to avoid cars is necessary. While keeping your dog on a leash is safer, there may be situations where they could accidentally get loose. By teaching them road sense, you can prepare them for such scenarios.

2. Consistent Leash Training: Keep your dog on a leash when in areas with cars or other people. This ensures their safety and prevents any potential accidents.

3. Positive Reinforcement: Use positive reinforcement techniques, such as treats and praise, to reward your dog for staying away from cars. This will help them associate avoiding cars with positive experiences.

4. Gradual Exposure: Start by introducing your dog to cars from a safe distance. Gradually decrease the distance as they become more comfortable. This gradual exposure will help them build confidence and reduce fear.

5. Seek Professional Help: If you're finding it challenging to train your dog to avoid cars, consider seeking assistance from a professional dog trainer. They can provide expert guidance and tailor the training to your dog's specific needs.

Remember, training a dog to avoid cars takes time and patience. Stay consistent and positive throughout the process, and prioritize your dog's safety at all times.

The following five methods will be explained in detail further down in the article:

The Sit-and-Wait Method: Each time you reach a road, whether or not there is traffic, have your dog sit by your side and only release him to cross after giving him the "okay" command.

"Down" From a Distance Method: Teach your dog basic obedience—this includes the ability to obey the “down” command from a distance.

The "Touch-and-Treat" Command: Train your dog to respond to the “touch” command.

The Free-Roam Method: Allow your dog to walk around traffic and expose them to just how scary car-filled streets can be. (In the unsupervised dog's lifetime, some learn to fear cars, some never learn, and some might die—so be proactive about training them.)

Learning by Exposure: Have someone drive by your dog with a slow-moving bicycle or car and carefully bump them—enough for them to know that the moving vehicle or bike is threatening. (See my thoughts on this technique below.)

Which Training Method Is Best?

In my opinion, some of these methods are better than others, and I would not personally use the fourth or fifth method.

1. The Sit-and-Wait

The first method—that of teaching a dog to sit and wait before crossing—is the easiest to teach and usually works fine. All dogs should be exposed to and walked around traffic during their sensitive socialization period before 16 weeks of age.

2. "Down" From a Distance

If your dog is going to be off-leash at times, be sure to teach them to go “down” from a distance. For instance, if a vehicle is approaching and I cannot call my dog to my side, I can tell her “down” even if she is chasing a bird in the water or running through a field. By using this command, I am certain that my dog is not going to run in front of the vehicle in order to get back next to me.

3. The "Touch-and-Treat"

It is also important for all dogs that might be off-leash to learn the "touch-and-treat" method. You can expect your dog to come when called over 90% of the time, but is he always going to respond in every scenario? If you teach the “touch” command, your dog knows to receive a treat every single time he comes to you (that is, he must touch his nose to your hand). You should not use this command as casually as you do the recall (come when called).

Note: The first three methods seem to be the best, but no method is as safe as walking your dog on a leash.

Hey PoochLover,
I'm now offering a VIP payment system.
if we book your dog in on a scheduled appointment throughout the year. (as many customers do) You can now opt to pay a monthly direct debt to spread the costs throughout the year insted of paying full payment on the day.
If this is something you would like to do. Just let me know and we can arrange it.
Can be a more advantage to paying a monthly direct debt as you know exactly what your paying each month.
Have a great day

Hi Poochlover.
Little information regarding booking.
All my customers prebook their next appointment into my diary on the day of the groom to secure my services for the future so with this in mind I can only fit any new customers into the next available appointments I have coming up in the diary.
If you'd like to prebook the mobile salon to come to you well in advance as a new customer please give me a message on 07792592717.
Once on my books we just then do a rolling prebooking appointments system that best accommodate you. Kind regards
