🥶Cold weather 🥶

Just like in the heat I’ll evaluate each day as it comes and do what I think is best for each dog. My only concern is their welfare, particularly for puppies, older dogs and those with health concerns and I’ll always try and do my best for each dog.

When considering walking your dog in cold weather, there’s a pretty simple rule to live by – if it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for your dog.

But like humans, every dog is different. Where some dogs seem to be made for snow and wet weather, others can struggle in even the slightest of chills. The vet experts at Joii have given some guidelines to help you decide if you should brave the elements or stay in the warmth.

Just looking at the temperature on the thermometer (or if you’re like us, on your phone’s weather app) isn’t enough, you also need to take into account wind chill, wet conditions (rain or damp ground) and how sunny the day is. If in doubt, keep your walk short or skip it all together if your dog can toilet in the garden instead.

Having a dog walker is one of the many ways you can do your best for your dog(s). It breaks up their day, lets them have a leg stretch, toilet break and explore but also……..

1 - Your dog might behave differently for your dog walker than they do for you. Possibly a little less stress for all at the end of a long day.
2 - your dog meets different people & dogs, exploring a different part of the world is enriching for them and beneficial for their brains, which means a more relaxed dog at home.
3 - when it’s cold and wet you don’t have to clean your dog up after a walk with freezing hands because your dog walker has done it for you 😊 and you have more time for cuddles on the sofa.

Choosing a dog walker isn’t just about your dog having a walk. It’s about choosing someone who will do what’s right for your dog, who will take time to bond with them and who puts them first, always.

When you hire a dog trainer it is MUCH more than an hour of their time...

This is so they can give you and your dog the very best ongoing support, with effective long term results.

So please take a moment to consider the following if you are looking to hire a professional.

And always do check their experience, their accreditations/courses they've completed and their testimonials. Please ensure that the training they do puts the needs of the dog first, with no harsh or outdated methods.

Here at PPN we are committed to supporting kind and ethical pet professionals, offering a range of CPD to ensure ongoing learning and support.

This helps not only improve the industry and business standards but also offer a safe place for pet professionals to connect and support each other.

Some of the beautiful black dogs I’ve been lucky enough to have in my life, in various ways, so far 🥰 one of the joys of being a dog walker is I get to spend time with so many lovely dogs 🐕
