We mention a lot about dog care, what to do this keep the dog well trained, but we often forget just how much our own mindset and behaviour will impact the dogs.
And so…
Dog owners should practice patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement in training. Maintaining a calm demeanor and setting clear boundaries positively influences a dog’s behavior. Consistent routines and regular exercise contribute to a stable and happy environment for the dog.

As the spring is approaching, there are a few things dog owners should be aware of- many of these might just be a reminder as you may already know many of these- however the next three posts share couple reminders ⬇️

1. Allergies: Watch for signs of seasonal allergies, such as excessive itching, sneezing, or watery eyes, and consult your vet if needed.
2. Parasites: With warmer weather, ticks and fleas become more active. Use preventive measures and check your dog regularly.
3. Spring plants: Some plants can be toxic to dogs. Be aware of what’s in your garden and keep an eye on what your dog may try to ingest.

Time is running short, the closing time to apply for exemption is 12pm (midday) on January 31st.

Don't leave it too late, there are quite a few applications being rejected for payment references not matching, this means owners are having to reapply, if you leave it until the last day you won't have time to resubmit.

When you apply for a Certificate of Exemption you must:

pay the £92.40 application fee for each dog you want to apply for – you’ll need your 10 digit payment reference number, pay first, wait for the confirmation email and copy the reference number onto your application.

have third party public liability insurance for banned breeds of dogs – you’ll need to know the start date of your insurance

You’ll need to provide the microchip number. To find the microchip number, you should check the dog’s vaccination record or ask a vet.

From 1 February 2024 it will be illegal to own an XL bully type without a certificate of exemption. You may not get your certificate in time if you leave it too late.

Please don't risk your dogs safety by missing the deadline.

You have time to arrange neutering after the exemption, if your dog was under 1 year old on December 31st, you have until the end of December 2024. If your dog was over 1 on December 31st, you have until the end of June 2024. For those on low income a neutering voucher scheme is being launched by Dogs Trust, Blue Cross and RSPCA on February 5th, this could give you a voucher of £250 off the cost of having your dog neutered.

How to deal with dogs separation anxiety:

Try and make some sounds during the day like, moving keys or jacket etc so that they don’t associate that only with you leaving the house.

Avoid big goodbyes each time you leave or it will build up anxiety and it will work as a trigger for them

Lastly give him something to chew on like a toy or bone to occupy him while you’re away, that way they will be too focused on the toy rather than fixate on you leaving

That’s what I love about the way Walkez pet care works!
We provide the pets under our care with the cozy feeling of a home. As a dog owner myself, I know just how important it is to find a safe and comfortable environment for our pets.
This is also why we are limited on the number of dogs we can care for at once, we focus on the quality of care and being a small business, it does limit the numbers, but all pets are guaranteed a homey atmosphere, as well as giving the option for home visits for those that prefer it.

Autumn walks always guarantee many colours. It was a little bit rainy and chilly outside but Hayes seemed to love it.

His eyes were fixated on that great behind the camera 😂 when we got back he was ready to snuggle up and relax which is always a good sign that the walk was a success.

Happy Monday.
Is anyone else excited for Christmas ?
As the weather gets colder, be sure to protect your pet and keep them warm on their walks. Dogs with thicker coats will be happy, however for those with shorter coats may need an extra layer to keep warm☃️

Make training a game

Switch up the treats, rewards, and praise. If they view training as a game, rather than something they are scolded during, they will have more fun and you’ll see better results. You may also find that your dog responds better to different types of rewards through this process.

Have patience with your pet🤍
👇
It can be challenging when your dog acts out or isn’t picking up on a new training technique, but with some grace and patience, they’ll be more likely to continue trying. If you’re feeling frustrated, take a break from training and consider consulting your vet or local training professional. Dogs are very good at reading our body language and won’t respond well to training if you are tense or angry

Slowing down a super eater

If your dog or puppy eats their meals very quickly they increase their risk of having stomach issues or upsets that may lead to vomiting. Slowing down your dog’s eating is good for their digestive health and can be done easily. One option is to buy a puzzle feeder from a pet store or online. Alternatively, a cheap easy solution is just to put a large tennis ball in their bowl. Both the ball or puzzle toy will work similarly making your dog have to work around the inedible obstacle to eat their meal.

Here is our new little client!😊
It warms my heart looking back at when I was only starting up this business and how much it has now grown.
How many people put trust in Walkez and choose to provide their pets with home like atmosphere whenever they go away.
I can’t wait to see just how far walkez will get over the next couple of years🤩

Visiting these giants twice a day has been so fun😄 Definitely a big height difference to my little boy Hayes❤️

Naps after play time 🤍
Also today I’m coming in with a tip for every dog parent out there!

Make a "pet first aid" kit

Accidents and emergencies happen and being prepared with the essentials to help your dog is a crucial step in being a responsible pet owner. This is especially important if you take your dog out hiking or camping, whenever you may be far away from help. A DIY pet first aid kit is something every dog parent should have.

Life is better with a dog by your side

Me new customers, I am so excited for this as I love large breads.
The pictures interpret really well the size comparison😄.

Second photo showing happy run around the park😊
Each walk should be well structured,
Enter park
Get the dog to sit down before letting them off to check how well they’re listening
-free run around time
-play time
-training
-free run around
-treat and time to go home, I guarantee all dogs will love it and will be ready for a nice nap afterward!

25/04/2023

Some more great pictures from the hike with the doggos.

This post is mostly to see if anyone has any questions about pet care and any advice they would like to receive. I will be answering them soon. You can dm me about it if you would prefer over commenting :)

Had a long walk in the forest, the dogs loved it so much!

It was great seeing them run around freely without worries if roads around, cars and busy cities.

If you’re seeing this post, it’s a reminder for you to treat yourself as well as your dog to drive a bit further and take a long hike just enjoying the nature.

Lulu had lots of cuddles this weekend.
Funny moment was when she was very stubborn and set on laying on my clothes when having a nap, and me trying to get her to lay on anything but that, got some funny reactions from her.

24/03/2023

Happy doggos!😊

Today I’m coming to you with couple more fun facts about dogs
#
-dog’s sense of smell is amazing! but did you know that his nose has as many as 300 million receptors? In comparison, a human nose has about 5 million
-Dogs’ noses can sense heat/thermal radiation, which explains why blind or deaf dogs can still hunt.

13/03/2023

Have been looking after a new client lately😄 and I would say it’s a slightly bigger dog than I have normally cared for before but had such a lovely time boarding him.
It’s a big puppy with lots of energy but loves cuddles.

08/03/2023

Building upon relationships with your pets is so important. It builds trust and loyalty.
Whenever I care for dogs I aim to build strong bonds, that way training the dogs is made so much easier, I am certain they come back when letting them off the leash and they are more likely to listen to me.
Of cause every dog will have times where it wants to do it’s own thing, however if you put trust in your pets , they will listen eventually 😊

Today I have a quote for you ~ “It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them.” – John Grogan
~
~

Reading this quote, made me actually realise just how much dogs can bring people closer too, normally if you walk through the park you would not stop to speak to people you don’t know but there’s your dog approaching another or a person walking past and it’s such a quick conversation started it’s ridiculous😊 it is a really nice park about being a dog walker, you get to meet so many lovely people which sometimes lead to great friendships😊

Being a small dog in a big world can be a challenge. However, small dogs very often get away with bad or dangerous behaviours that would never be tolerated in their larger breed counterparts (also known as "small dog syndrome"). They often first use these behaviours as a kind of defence mechanism, but it can quickly turn to habit if not corrected early on. Owners should keep in mind that pulling on the leash, running away when called, snarling or biting are all equally bad behaviours whether coming from a 2kg Chihuahua or a 50kg Rottweiler. In both cases the right socialization and training can work wonders. Therefore it is important to start as early as possibly to notice any behaviours as such and putting rules in place so that your little friend wont get in trouble.

Today there’s few little points to bare in mind with dogs who has “flat noses”.

First of all, the term for this is brachycephalic. This is not often used as we mostly call them flat noses😄, however for those who have those breeds of dogs, may want to know the actual name for it.

There are many way for which this could have a negative impact on your dog however it does not mean every single dog with a flat nose is suffering, which is important to remember.

The crucial part is baring in mind they might experience issues and therefore may require few more check ups than other breeds.

Some problems that could be caused by this are:
-breathing problems
-digestive issues
-eye diseases
-difficulty giving birth
-spinal issues
-exercise/heat intolerance
-sleeping difficulties
-skin/ear diseases
And dental problems

Now… some may think “wow that is a lot” and indeed this is a lot however not all those diseases will affect each dog and definitely not all at once. These diseases are just more likely to happen but yet again there is not proof that they will get it. (It’s just a predisposition)

Due to the nature of their noses this is just something that our little friends have to deal with. It might not affect their lives much but others it may, they may need extra care and attention , but if aware of these possibilities the doggos have a great deal of leading normal healthy and happy lives, we just need to keep an eye on them to make sure we notice if anything would be wrong.
It usually is pretty obvious if they’re uncomfortable or have a hard time breathing, keeping informed is just best we can do and for those that would like to go a step further, possibly have an action plan if you know your pet is suffering from once of those and knowing how to react when they present signs of distress.

Caring for a senior dog tips:

Keep them active but adjust to their abilities, let them show you when they had enough

Go to regular check ups

Keep a well balanced and adjusted diet

Investing in an orthopaedic or heated dog bed- if needed or beneficial

If the dog requires it, it may help when using a dog support sling

Make adjustments to the environment and ensure they have good resources to help them keep as mobile as they can

If they like their company, provide a lot of it for them, it is likely that they might be scared and sad, if they can’t move around as much anymore, others may however prefer their space
