What most people don’t know is that Daisy’s dog Violet is deaf, so she has taught her to react to hand signals. It’s amazing. She’ll be running a tricks course soon so please sign up when announced xx

So Maggie has been on her holidays for a few weeks and today was her first day back with PPS. Think it’s fair to say she was happy to see us 🤣🫶💕🤣 😙

While we may all be enjoying the hot weather! It’s important to take note of how dangerous it can be for our dogs

We suggest if possible leaving dogs at home or taking major precautions ☀️☀️

It’s with such a heavy heart that we say goodbye to this little face. Lily has been with us for many years and as a rescue she first came to us so nervous and distrusting. After much work she finally trusted us and we were lucky enough to have so many quality memories of her at PPS. The whole team is devastated by her passing. We love you Lily and thank you for being part of the PPS crew 🥰💕🐶🐾🌈 ###x

Always hard when you have to say goodbye to one of our PPS crew but when they come back to daycare and you see each other again it’s the best feeling in the world 🥰💕🐶🐾

So, we are running a 3 week training course which is being run by Daisy Olivia from Prestige Dog Training. Spaces are limited so please sign up as soon as possible. This course is a must for all dog owners to understand your pets body language and how to remedy any unwanted behaviours. The 3 week course is only £50 which is an absolute bargain. Honestly, I’ve gone through the course with my own dogs and it’s been incredibly valuable. Any breed or age is welcome xx

Let’s dispel some myths!!

A waggy tail always means a happy dog?? FALSE

A windmill tail or a tail that goes all the way from one side to the other very quickly is usually a happy dog (paired with other body language of course) however dogs can wag their tails slowly if they feel unsure, anxious or ready to esculate behaviour !

A Growl should be punished?? FALSE!
One of my main rules is to never EVER punish a growl. This can often lead the dog to feel like they cannot growl in future which may = a bite seemingly “out of nowhere” Remember a GROWL is a dog COMMUNICATING that they aren’t happy in a situation

The direction of a dogs tail has meaning? TRUE!

Interestingly, after a few studies it has been shown a dog wagging their tail from centre to the right often has positive associations! And from centre to left usually has negative/anxious associations! There is huge science behind this based on a dogs brain! But i won’t go into that too much right now or I’ll be here all day 😂

You can asses a dog based on ears and tails alone? FALSE
Although we can get some relevant information from tails and ears, it is important we take other body language into consideration as that can tell a more accurate picture. Tails and Ears can also be docked which can hinder an accurate representation, as well as their being so much variation with different breeds 🙂

A dog who has raised hackles is always ready to esculate their behaviour ?
FALSE
When a dogs fur sticks up it is an involuntary reaction (Much like us humans getting goosebumps) and can happen for a number of reasons including
- Scent
- Arousal
- Anxiety
- Defensive
- Lack of Confidence
Although it can be an indication of a dog on the offence there are so many other factors!
