Today's walks and home visits - lots of happy dogs π©΅
Some recent highlights π©΅
Stanley and I enjoyed some rare 1:1 time together this morning - so we practiced our commands.
I have had the pleasure of walking Stanley since he was 4 months old, during these 3 years together we have worked on training together, to build our bond whilst also having lots of fun together!
Today's commands were: sit stay, down stay, recall, heel position and middle. Stanley was a superstar as always π©΅
Don't forget we offer 1:1 training walks to help assist with basic training, such as loose lead walking, recall etc, or to help build the foundations of calm behaviours whilst on walks. If you would like more information then please pop us a message or email us at [email protected] πΎ

Today's walks and home visits πΎ
The dogs are definitely enjoying this cooler weather! π©΅
Louie enjoyed his walk this afternoon, followed by a play in the garden π₯ π©΅
This week has been full of early morning walks, shaded walks and home visits.
Here's some of this week's highlights - Lots of happy dogs βοΈ πΎ π©΅
Started off the week with a sleepover with Evie and Jet, followed by an early morning walk for Dulcie, and home visits for Smudge, Riley and Monty π©΅
Did you know our group walks are matched by location, but also by energy levels and personalities? We also only walk in small groups!
On the left is our Friday morning group - These dogs are all 7+ in age, so they enjoy a slower paced walk. They aren't into running around and playing with each other, but they do love the company of one another!
On the right is our other group walks, again all matched by location, personality and energy levels! These boys adore running around together and splashing around in the stream, but they are also all on the nervous side, and so they give each other space when needed and they have helped to bring each other out of their shells!
If you would like to book your dog onto one of our group walks, or would like some more information, then please pop us a message or email us at [email protected]

Dnata is tired after training in the garden π΄
Training and enrichment games are a perfect way to engage with your dog and teach good habits, whilst also tiring them out! We worked on heel work, basic commands and sniffing games.

Featuring a new face! Meet Stuart the greyhound, Salsa has been promoted to big sister πΎ
πΎ New availability πΎ
β’ Solo walks: Perfect for those who prefer 1:1 walk time.
β’ Group walks: Our group walks are kept small, 2-4 dogs at a time, (we occasionally walk in goups of 5, but only if Amanda is with us). Smaller group walks help those who may be nervous to socialise in a safe and controlled manner. We match the groups by personality and by location.
β’ Home visits: For when your dog doesn't need a walk but needs a toilet break and some company. Full of enrichment, games and lots of fuss!
β’ Training walks: 1:1 training walks to help with basic training such as loose lead walking, recall, neutral behaviours, and reactivity.

Cuddles with Monty π©΅
Today's home visit consisted of games, toilet breaks and cuddles. To begin with we played some "find it" games with his treats, using his bowls or hiding them elsewhere, we then practiced his "leave it" command - he's such a good boy and really enjoyed playing his games! Once he was finished playing we finished off our home visit with a cuddle πΎ

β¨ Important information please read β¨
With the weather supposed to be reaching temperatures of 27Β° this week, we'll be changing how we work.
- We will be offering home visits this week if we feel we cannot safely walk your dog.
- If we feel it is safe for us to walk, then we will be walking in shaded areas, offering water and letting dogs swim if possible.
- Walks may be cut short if we are worried that your dog is getting too hot or uncomfortable.
- We will be limiting time spent in cars, walking in local areas where possible.
- Walks may be moved to early morning slots if you do not need a midday walk.
Your dogs safety is important to us, and so we are taking these steps to keep them happy and safe. If you have a walk booked with us this week then we will get in touch with you either the evening before or the morning of your booking.
Thank you for understanding, and enjoy this rather cute photo of Dnata after an evening swim.

The boys enjoyed a chill out session in the shade earlier! It was quite warm in the midday sun, so we stuck to the shade where possible, offered water and let them rest when needed.
Although it's not particularly warm just yet, some dogs do struggle in these temperatures. So each walk is tailored to your dog and their needs, if they need a rest break we will provide it.
We closely observe the dogs to ensure they are feeling happy and healthy when out on walks. Over the coming weeks we will be offering water on our walks, walking in the shade where possible, letting them swim in streams/ponds, and we will cut walks short if we are worried about their welfare.
If the weather is warmer than 23Β° then we will be changing our walking times, or offering home visits in replacement (if we cannot walk in cool places).
Thank you for your constant support,
Aimee & Amanda π©΅

Some clips from today's training session with Olly!
We worked on loose lead walking, walking to heel and focusing on me. We also played some engagement games, such as "find it", and a quick pace moving game of changing directions whilst adding in commands, this helps to keep Olly focused on me, rather than the other dogs that were in the field.
He did brilliantly!! He's walking much better on lead, and he is starting to focus more on me rather than focusing on other dogs.
Such a clever boy πβπ¦Ί π©΅
The boys loved playing fetch together this morning πΎ π₯ π©΅

Ollie's first training session πΎ Ollie is quite strong on the lead as both he and his sister were previously only walked off lead and in quiet areas. Their owners wanted to begin training so that they can take the dogs on walks and it be an enjoyable experience for all involved. Ollie wasn't so keen on taking treats from me during our first session, he was overwhelmed by being outside for the first time in a while, and it was our first time alone together. He needed to build trust with me, so I took my time and our rewards for this session were verbal, he also enjoyed a good fuss every now and then! I'm hoping that as our bond improves he'll feel more confident to take treats from me, as this will really help with our training progress! Our first session included engagement games, allowing time for him to decompress (letting him sniff and stopping to make a fuss of him), once he was happy and engaging with me we then began the first steps of loose lead training. By the end of the session Ollie was engaged and walking beautifully! Here are some clips of our training walk, these clips were taken towards the end of the session. He was incredible and I look forward to more sessions together, and hopefully he'll soon be able to go on long walks with his owners π©΅ πΎ Our 1:1 training walks are there to help teach basic training, such as loose lead walking, recall and neutrality. We take your dogs for walks and include the training during this time, you'll receive photo and video updates, as well as written information explaining our methods and how to continue the training yourselves. If you would like help with training please pop us a message, or email us at [email protected] πΎ
Are you busy with work and worried that your dog needs more stimulation and a toilet break? Does your dog like to socialise with others, but you don't always get the chance? Do you need a helping hand with basic training? If so we may be able to help! We offer solo walks, group walks, home visits and 1:1 training walks. New availability has just opened up! We cover Marks Tey, Great Tey, Copford, Chappel, Coggeshall and Stanway. If you're out of our service area but you are still interested in our services, please pop us a message and we'll see if we can help. If you would like more information, or would like to book our services, please pop us a message or comment below πΎ
When your chickens have better recall than your own dogs π«£ Lucille wasn't going to chance missing out on some treats! Here are our rescue girls Lucille, BooBoo and Ginger. They had enjoyed some time in the garden foraging before going back to their pen ππ₯ We look after all sorts of animals, not just dogs and cats! We have experience with chickens, pet birds, small animals and reptiles π©΅
Besties Stanley and Albert enjoy their walks together πΎ Today Albert was very happy to be out walking, and Stanley was determined to get to the field so that they could have a run together! π©΅ π«Άπ»
One of Stanley's favourite games - Find it! Stanley loves his ball, and he also loves brain games! So we combined the two together, and played hide and seek with his ball π©΅ 'Find it' is a brilliant way to tire out a dog, both physically and mentally as it encourages them to use their nose and to problem solve πΎ
Bella joined Stanley and I on our walk together this morning!! They're so cute together π± πΆ π©΅
Something fun is coming! π·οΈ More details will be announced tomorrow ππ Any guesses as to what it could be? π€
