🐾Specialising in nervous and/or reactive dogs🐾 Solo dog walks only 🐾

03/06/2025

A couple of weeks ago, Buddy and I got to experience something quite special that reactive dog owners will absolutely appreciate.

We were down at Keswick Mountain Festival at 6am in the morning to watch Ritchie set off on his race. If you know Keswick, you know this area by the lake is absolutely packed at all hours of the day, with dogs everywhere. However at this time, it was completely empty but had all the coffee places open for the runners - so we got to enjoy a quiet walk through the woods, chasing stones in the lake and then a coffee afterwards where he got completely fussed over by the boys at the coffee van and was even given a cup of warm milk which went within seconds 😂

Whilst it might not seem like much, it was so special to take him with me to a place where it’s usually impossible, and to enjoy a coffee and walk with my dog in a place and in a way that many take for granted.

Don’t get me wrong, he’d definitely agree that he’s not missing out by not going to a busy mountain festival, and he still gets to race around in the fells (and actually completed all 214 Wainwrights a couple of months ago 🏆🐾) and he still eats all the doggy ice creams he can get, but this was amazing for him to experience a place that he’s usually not able to, and for me to have a coffee and walk with my best bud in a pretty cool, but usually extremely busy, place!

Happy happy faces 😃😃😃

It’s a hot week this week so, if needed, walks may be altered slightly to keep the dogs safe. As soon as the temp hits 18 degrees, I’m straight to considering potential risk as even though that’s not crazy high, the sun is very intense and can quickly heat things up. And anyway, I don’t think the dogs complain about extra river time and enrichment games ⚽️🦦

Believe it or not, both of these girls have spaniel in them - can you tell 🤣?! Both happy, bouncy girls with ears that’ll make you smile!

Summer’s on its way and we’re so ready ☀️!

🐾 It’s about time I run a race for charity so I’m running Edinburgh marathon in May for Dogs Trust! 🐾

Every donation goes to supporting the dogs in their care through providing food, training, shelter and medical care. If you’re able to donate, it will be greatly appreciated and will be going to a brilliant cause!

Thank you!

This happy gal has been doing some hour walks instead of half hour recently, so we’ve been wandering right out to Papcastle and enjoying the views, or extra good sniffs in her case.
We even made it all the way to the Belle Vue pub one day but there was some very fast walking towards the end of that one as I’d seriously misjudged the distance 😂

February 🌸🌼 First signs of Spring are making for some happy dogs and a very happy Gem! It’s been a bit of a relentless Winter for the noise sensitive ones, with Firework night lasting a whole week and at random times of the day 🤯, and then pheasant shoots from then on. It’s great to now see them start to be able to relax on their walks again and see their smiles come out more ☺️

Also loving the new lead slip with “training” on it from
I’ve also got ones with “give me space” on, and it’s interesting to see the change in reactions from people with this one. This seems to invite more curiosity rather than judgement 🤔

January is made much brighter with this beautiful lot 😃🐾

December 🐾🎄😃 Which also marks another year of Fjell Canine Co. I consider myself ridiculously lucky to spend my days with these beautiful faces.

There’s been so many wins for all of them this year, from reacting less in situations they would previously have and even no reactions at all, quicker recovery times, to holding in some major excitement beans and keeping calm in busy coffee shops, and many more! Here’s to another year of walks that end in happy, fulfilled and relaxed dogs!

Merry merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎊🎄🐾

It was so lovely to see this cutie again last week! She’s been with me since almost the very start, so we know each other quite well now and always have good chats on our walks. She also gets a serious case of the wiggles whenever I arrive which is very sweet!

What a way to end the week with an Afternoon Hike with this wonderful girl! There were so many happy wiggles from just the happiness that comes with being on the fells, many sheep raisins consumed (not by me), and she was one very happy girl when she found the perfect stick which came all the way home with us 😃🐾⛰️

How handsome does this boy look on his Afternoon Hike the other month? He was treated to having a personal photographer capture his hike (I.e. my Husband!), also known as the ‘Human Treat Dispenser’ as we wanted to create all the positive associations with new people from the start.

He’s a very sensitive boy and coped so well with all the new smells, sights and sounds.

On his everyday walks, we’ve been focusing a lot on keeping his stress levels as low as possible so he can cope better with his triggers, and we’ve done this by including some puzzle and snuffle toys at the end of his walks. To put this into the context of humans - after a stressful day, do you like to do something relaxing like reading a book or taking a bath, or making a cup of tea? And does it feel like you are better able to tackle the challenging things after doing these things ? Maybe not all the time, particularly if it’s been a very stressful day, but a lot of the time this stuff works. It’s exactly the same for our dogs 😊

This is to do with our nervous systems. Just like humans, dogs have two divisions to their autonomic nervous systems : the sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division. The sympathetic division is activated when the body is put under stress, whether that’s through exercise or the commonly known concept of “flight or fight”. The parasympathetic division counteracts this, regulating bodily functions and preserving energy by lowering the heart rate. In dogs, the parasympathetic division can be activated through activities that lower their heart rate, such as enrichment activities that encourage sniffing or playing relaxing music. Our dogs are so much more like us than we realise when it comes to stress, so if there are ways I can reduce it for them as part of their walks, you bet you’ll find me doing just that !
