Brilliant puppy training classes by Emily. I especially love her with other dog professionals, such as walkers, groomers and other trainers. The “Dog trainer in your pocket” highlights how approachable Emily is, and how passionate she is about providing the best support for your dog.

For this month's leaflet, I've chosen a valentine's theme. Learn about affectionate body language signs, the ladder of calmness/aggression and the 3 second rule. Pick up a copy from my gate near Blackrod Primary, or view online at my website, www.heatherswalkies.co.uk .

If you want to learn more about Canine Body language, then I highly recommend the Canine Principle Course on Canine Communication: https://www.canineprinciples.com/link/HX29wD?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.canineprinciples.com%2Fcourse%2Fcanine-communication-webinar ( )

Spring is (finally) in the air!! The dogs all felt it this week, with lots of extra smiles. A couple of them are still very pleased that there’s mud around. 🤣

Happy Friday everyone! Hope your week has been as fun and adventurous as ours.

**UPDATED 17th Jan: now been arrested by police.**

I’ve been hearing a few reports about a man hiding out in Bottling Wood (in Haigh Hall plantation) threatening walkers and their dogs, including with a knife. An assault happened this morning. Police have been informed. Please stay safe if you are in the area.

Please help if you can. 😢

Penny would like to remind all the dogs that low energy plant leaves don’t count towards calories, so it’s perfectly acceptable to eat all the cabbage in the veg patch!

How is your dog’s healthy weight goal doing?
Penny has 0.5kg to lose (not a lot, but it’s 7% of her weight, and I want those extra 2 years with her).

Don’t forget to pick up a leaflet from my gate if you’ve not already done so.

We’ve all had lots of fun in the snow this week (except for the tiny ones who’ve been snuggled up safe in the warm).

Stay warm today, everyone! 🥰

Keeping these joints supple throughout the cold wether is important. There are many more things you can do other than the 5 tips, but this will help hugely for those with joint disease and the oldies in general.
