“The woods were quiet… a little too quiet.”
Brilliant opening line for a novel. Not so great on a dog walk! 😬

I love this shady spot when it’s hot,
but yesterday it had a slightly eerie feel 🫣

A quick look around and… phew!
Turns out this giant hole wasn’t anything spooky,
just some local kids building jumps for bikes and scooters.

Had me worried for a second there 🤣

One of those proud dog walker moments 🥹

I’ve been working with Tilley for a little while now. She’s walked solo, as she can be a bit nervous and gets easily over-excited around other dogs. We take things at her pace, and she’s come such a long way.

One thing I teach all the dogs I walk is “steady” and “wait”.

“Steady” helps them slow down as we approach corners.

“Wait” means stop, so I can check what’s ahead - other dogs, people, wildlife, anything that might need a bit of space.

Today, as we approached a corner, I didn’t need to say a word…
Tilley stopped.
Turned to look at me.
And waited.

She knew exactly what to do, and when to do it. Her little face was so proud, and honestly, so was mine!

I love moments like this, when I see a behaviour really click. It’s no longer just a cue, it’s part of their understanding of the world.

Of course, we’ll keep practicing 'steady' and 'wait' because repetition and reinforcement matters. But today?

Tilley just got it.

And I’ll be smiling about that for the rest of the day.

Not quite the day I had planned… 😅

This morning, Bertha (my van!) decided to throw a warning light my way. Cue a dash to my lovely garage, who thankfully managed to fit me in right away. Two hours and £224 later (ouch), Bertha was back on the road and I made it out to see all my lovely dogs.

Was it stressful? Yep.
Was it frustrating? Absolutely.
Did it throw my whole day off? You bet.
But I got there in the end, with a bit of patience, a chunk of money, and a lot of support from my lovely clients, who were all so understanding 💛

It reminded me a bit of dog training, actually.

Some days everything clicks. Other days it feels like nothing’s going to plan. But progress isn’t linear.Whether it’s your dog’s recall, loose lead walking, or even just getting out the front door without a wrestle over the harness, it can be difficult to cope with it alone.

If you keep showing up, and give yourself (and your dog) time, patience, and reach out for the help and support you need, you will get there.

💬 Have you ever had a day that went totally off track but still worked out in the end? Tell me about it below ⬇️

🌞 Day 1 of Beat The Heat: Monkey’s Training Moment (Bum Included 😆)

Today’s Beat The Heat training game is all about calm focus – short bursts of brain work in the shade (or indoors with the fan going).
Monkey gave it a go earlier… and while most of the footage was his best side on full display, I’ve trimmed it down to show the good bits 😄

This kind of low-energy training is a great way to:
✅ Keep your dog mentally enriched when it’s too hot to walk
✅ Practice calm, focused behaviours
✅ Build connection – without overheating

Not signed up to Beat The Heat yet?
It’s a free mini-series with easy, practical ideas for training + enrichment when the weather’s warm.
📩 Drop me a message or sign up (link in comments)

And if you have started already – let me know how your dog got on with today’s game! Bonus points if their bum steals the show too 🐶🍑

AND WE'RE LIVE!!! Phew! So, here it is - introducing BEAT THE HEAT!

Is your dog is climbing the walls because walks have been swapped for lying in front of a fan? Don't panic!

I created Beat the Heat just for YOU. It's a free 5-day mini-series packed with:

✔️ One simple training game each day (perfect for indoors)
✔️ One enrichment activity that taps into your dog’s natural instincts
✔️ Gentle guidance that helps build focus, connection and confidence for you and your dog

It’s perfect for anyone working on recall or loose lead walking, because the games help your dog stay engaged with you, even when you're not out on a walk.
We’re laying strong foundations for better walks, from the comfort of home.

💻🛠️ Tech Gremlins: 0
Me: 1 (eventually 😅)

The past few days have been...a journey. Just me, a heatwave, and a small army of email platforms that seemed determined to test my patience.

But after multiple plot twists, a handful of heroic live chats, and a healthy amount of tea, some swearing and even a few tears, I’ve finally conquered the gremlins and something exciting is officially launching tomorrow! 🎉

🐶If you’ve got a dog who could use a bit of fun, connection, some help with recall & loose leading walking, all while staying cool in this heat, you’ll want to keep an eye out.

Especially if you’ve ever felt stuck between “I want to train” and “it’s way too hot for a proper walk.”

🔥🔥 BEAT THE HEAT IS NEARLY HERE!🔥🔥

And honestly? The fact that it’s happening at all feels like a victory worth sharing.

👋 Hi, it’s me, the human behind Richer Dogs, proudly and unapologetically easily distracted by dogs!

Honestly, it’s not just a slogan, it’s a lifestyle. 😂

If you’re also easily distracted by dogs, you’re in the right place. 💙🐾🐾

🌞 Well... today was hotter than a sausage on a BBQ!

All walks were done while most people were still in bed (or swapped for shady home visits), and I had the rarest of things: an afternoon off.

So what’s a dog walker with no dogs to do?
Work on something very special, of course 🐾

I’ve been quietly putting together a free little something to help dog owners keep their dogs cool, calm, and enriched during this heatwave, but technology has not been on my side!

Glitches, delays, and a few “I need a biscuit, a cry and a lie down” moments later… and I’m still here.

Still building.

Still determined.

Something’s coming.

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your dog mentally engaged (without overheating), you’ll want to keep an eye out.

💛 Watch this space!

Salmon & sweet potato treats? Yes please.
Belly raspberries? Non-negotiable.
And don’t even think about skipping them, she’ll definitely hold a grudge 😆

🎧 SOUND ON for top-tier Dachshund crunches.
It’s basically dog ASMR, and I love it!

🐾 Does your dog have a non-negotiable routine too?
👇 Tell me their quirks in the comments, I'd love to hear them!

Dog walker life in one reel 🫣

Just when I thought I was filming a handy little demo of my new dog training jacket from (yes, it has a built-in poo bag dispenser AND a pocket big enough for the full ones 💪)... someone decided to roll in the real thing.

Cue me making a swift exit before it got too mucky 😂

Practical gear + unpredictable dogs = a solution for every situation, even the stinky ones!

What's your go-to bit of kit you won’t walk without?
