I’m now out of office from Saturday 20 December until Saturday 3 January. I’ll be taking this time to recharge, enjoy some much-needed rest, spend time with my family and loved ones and soak up some quiet moments with my own dogs.

Thank you for your support this year. I’ll be back in January, refreshed and ready to help you and your dogs start 2026 with confidence.

Wishing you all a peaceful festive season. 💛🐾

Alright, tell me one positive thing your dog has done this week.

Anything at all.

Maybe they didn’t steal the tea towel, bark at the bin lorry or launch themselves into a muddy puddle, we’re counting all victories here.

Small wins are still wins, especially in December.

Pop yours below, give your dog their moment of glory. 😄🐾

Busy puppy/Dog + wrapping paper + baubles = a festive game of “please don’t eat that.”

Offering safe, long-lasting chews gives those little (or big) mouths something appropriate to focus on.

Natural, long lasting dog treats are brilliant. Be warned though, some of them are really smelly! And please, make sure that whatever you get is age appropriate for your dog. Places like The Dog House - Horsham have not only an amazing selection, but they also have fabulous people working there that will be only too happy to guide you with buying.

It protects your slippers, and your sanity of course. 😅🎁

December is the perfect time to turn your daily walk into a little adventure.

Let your puppy sniff all the new winter smells, forest smells, leaves, the weird scent of someone’s roast dinner at 10am!

Sniffing is calming, enriching, and helps puppies take the world in gently.
If your walk is slower this month, that’s brilliant.
It means they’re learning.

What’s your pup’s favourite thing to sniff right now?

Puppy Christmas Tip: Protect Their Sleep

Christmas is exciting, which means puppies can flip into “festive gremlin mode” quicker than you would like.

They still need 16 - 20 hours of sleep in 24 hours to cope with all the new smells, noises and hustle.

If things feel a bit full-on, pop them somewhere quiet for a little reset. Even if the visitors want to play and spend time with the puppy.

A rested puppy is always an easier puppy.

Christmas is full of noise: doorbells, wrapping paper, guests, music, excited kids, clattering dishes.
For a young puppy, that’s a LOT to process.

If they start zooming, barking, hiding, biting more, or jumping up, they’re not being naughty.
They’re overwhelmed & over excited.

Here’s what helps:

⭐ short breaks in a quiet room

⭐ a comfy bed/crate in a corner away from the action

⭐ a stuffed kong or long-lasting, puppy safe chew

⭐ a calm human voice and predictable routine

A calm puppy makes for a calmer Christmas.

And don't forget puppies need LOTS of sleep! 16-20 hours.

Puppies in December are a whole different adventure.

They’re overexcited, overtired, overstimulated and always biting everything like a festive land shark who just stole a Santa hat.

Puppies explore with their mouths, just like babies seem to put everything straight in their mouths. So lots of management - and make sure you're not leaving anything out that they can get hold of.

Oh, and you may want to start teaching a 'leave it' too.

If your puppy is extra nippy this month, it’s not you.

It’s not them being “naughty”.

It’s just normal puppy life with a sprinkle of Christmas chaos.

Try shorter play sessions, shorter and more sniffy walks, and lots of chilled chew time. Oh, and don't forget to make sure their getting LOTS of sleep!

Calm puppies bite less. Calm owners sigh less.

Christmas means buffets, snacks, chocolate boxes and kids carrying plates around like little food fairies.

Instead of telling your dog off every two minutes, teach a simple “go to your bed/Place/Mat" or give them something tasty to settle with during meals.
You’re removing temptation, keeping them safe and saving yourself a lot of stress.

A bit of management goes a long way in December.

If your puppy thinks the Christmas tree is a chew toy that grew overnight, you’re not alone.

Christmas trees & decorations are basically one giant temptation: shiny things, dangly things, moving things, wires, new smells, a puppy’s dream.

A few easy ways to keep them safe:

• Put fragile ornaments higher up

• Choose a simple puppy-friendly base

• Use a baby gate or pen when you’re not watching

• Keep wires tucked away (fairy lights are VERY nibble-worthy)

You don’t need to be on “tree guard duty” all day, just set it up so your puppy can’t practise chaos.

And don't forget to keep the chocolates off the tree so puppies (or any dogs!) cant get them! And keep that advent calendar out of reach too!)

The door bell goes more at Christmas, deliveries, visitors, neighbours dropping off cards, and your puppy sees every door opening as a fabulous escape opportunity.

Use baby gates, pop on leads or block access to help them succeed. Its the simple things that help.

Prevention and good management really is the hero of the season. 🎄🐶

In this house, we’ve reached the stage of December where:
Winnie is convinced every single delivery driver is her personal advent calendar. And Toast has fully committed to her winter routine of “snore first, ask questions later”.

Dogs don’t care about the perfect Christmas.
They care about warmth, routine, snacks, and being near their humans. (Sounds like me to be fair!)

How's your dog’s December shaping up so far, chaos, cosy, or a bit of both?

This little one is just 10 weeks old and this is only her third trip out on a lead 💛

Read that again. 10. Weeks. Old!

You’ll notice the treats every few steps. That isn’t “bribery” or “spoiling” that’s teaching. It's science at play.

What you can’t see in this video is the really important part.
The work that happened at home first.

Lead skills practised in the house.
Following mum around.
Learning that staying close feels good and pays well.

Because of that groundwork, this puppy isn’t overwhelmed out here. She’s confident, curious, and able to make good choices. That’s what setting a puppy up for success looks like.

Real training often happens long before the lead goes on and the front door opens. And this team? They’re doing it beautifully and I am seriously proud of them! 🐾

Puppy training doesn’t start on the pavement. If you’d like guidance before those first walks, drop me a message
