Sometimes our pets aren’t quite what we first expected.

This is Pixel my cat.

We adopted Pixel as a semi feral cat,
we were expecting him to live outside and shelter in the out buildings at our home as previously in his other homes (he has had at least 4) he wouldn’t really come inside and was a lone ranger!

Now he comes in everyday and snoozes on a chair.

He is not keen on being handled due to some bad treatment when he was a kitten.

Our rules with Pixel..
*We DO NOT pick him up
*He isn’t forced to come inside (but comes in every day now)
*Interactions with household is all on his terms.

Now…. How does this relate to our dogs?

We should learn what our dogs like and their body language, they are their own beings and will have their likes and dislikes.

When rescuing a dog we need to build trust and give them time.

Most importantly create a positive environment for them to feel comfortable!

*Update now only 1 space*

Only 2 Spaces Left To Start In June On My 3 Month Programme - Will also be taking bookings / waiting list for July onwards

I know how hard it can be when your dog lunging at other dogs, pulls your arm off on walks, or just doesn’t seem to listen and you're left feeling frustrated, guilty, or like you’ve tried everything.

You're not alone — and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

I’ve got just 2 spaces left on my June training programme, and I’d love to support you and your dog to build calm and confidence on both ends of the lead. 🐾

If you’re ready to enjoy your walks again and feel proud of how far you’ve come together… send me a message. Let’s chat and see if it’s the right fit for you!

My little girl goes in for a cruciate operation today 🥹.
The recovery is long involves lots of crate rest, no walks for a while, it’s around a 6 month recovery.

She had a cruciate operation on her other leg just before Christmas, so we know what we’re doing for this one. Hopefully she will be mostly pain free soon!

I noticed this early on, how did I notice?
Behaviour changes -
- she seemed to get more nervous of dogs and people.
- Sleeping more.
- Didn’t want to play so much with my other dog.

Can’t wait to pick her up tomorrow and give her a massive cuddle! Felt so bad leaving her at the vets!

Loki made a friend! (He is on the left)

Loki and his family has struggled with his reactivity. He would bark and lunge at other dogs, not really knowing what he should be doing.

His family have worked so hard with him and didn’t think this was possible. ❤️

Do you struggle with your dogs behaviour towards other dogs? Please drop me a message it doesn’t always have to be like this 🥹

This is the face of proud girl who smashed her vaccinations last week!

Darcie has struggled at the vets after having surgery, she would bark at the vets and didn’t want them to come near her.

We training some co operative care handling where she learnt to become more comfortable with vaccinations, we muzzle trained her for safety and we worked in the vet practice too, to ensure she was more relaxed in the environment!

If this sounds like your dog, please reach out and comment if you would like some videos of how I teach dogs to become more comfortable with having vaccinations!

2024 Loki
He is a Romanian rescue who only knew life in a restaurant courtyard.
When I first met Loki:
⭕️He would bark and lunge at dogs in the distance.
⭕️He was nervous and barky with the teenage sons in the house especially when
they would come down the stairs.
⭕️He would bark at visitors when they came in.
⭕️Nervous in different environments.
⭕️Scared of sliding shop doors.
⭕️Nervous about getting in vehicles.
⭕️Scared of loud vehicles.
⭕️Worried about human interaction.
⭕️Would bark at unknown noises in the garden.

2025 Loki
✅ Can pass other dogs with no reaction
✅Has been on holiday!!!!
✅Can now visit the pub and has done so a few times now.
✅Can walk through the high street comfortably not scared any more!
✅Is comfortable with all family members in the home and has a much better relationship with the sons.
✅Has been on a bus.
✅Has been off lead on the beach.
✅Is much more settled in cars and the garden.
✅ He is now good with visitors in the home and uninterested in people in the street.
✅ Loki's family can now have their regular social time with friends and family at their home with a settled dog.

I have loved working with Loki and his amazing family!

The sun is not going to set before 6pm till October now 😁!

Now I love the lighter nights but I know many of you do not...

The extended daylight hours usually mean the quieter dog walking times (later on in the evening) does get more popular with dog walkers.

Does this make you anxious about walking your dog?

Instead of hiding from dogs on your walk, would you like to go seeking them out to get your training in?

Does this sound like you? If so drop me a DM!
