What a fabulous last day at Crufts. So proud to be a Victoria Stilwell Academy certified dog trainer and help out at the stand promoting positive reinforcement and reward based training methods.

Met so many wonderful dog lovers and chatted with guardians who were either struggling with training or behavioural problems and needed our advice and encouragement.

2017 to 2025, so much has happened and changed in between, but one thing has stayed the same and always will, my commitment to raise awareness for kind and ethical practices and values within the pet industry.

There is no room, or need or will there ever be, for punishment and aversive methods and equipment used on dogs.

Checked into this lovely and very friendly pub tonight, chilling with drinks and we have pizza on its way!

All ready for Crufts tomorrow. Too excited as it's Dobermann Day 🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️

I'm honoured to be helping out at The Victoria Stilwell stand in Hall 1 at the NEC tomorrow, the final and best day at Crufts.

I graduated from this amazing academy in April 2017 as a VSA Certified Dog Trainer and cannot wait to share my story; answer any dog training and behaviour questions; and let anyone interested in becoming a dog trainer know, how utterly amazing this course is and encourage them to believe in themselves and to chase their dreams 🐾❤️🐾

Come and find me tomorrow, if you're lucky enough to be going to Crufts and say Hi. I'll be there all day ❤️

I'd like to say a big thank you to my lovely new friend, awesome business woman and talented artist for designing my new uniform. Love Love Love x

Had the pleasure of pet sitting this beautiful 4 month old Staffi pup for the weekend. I have space for a nose ring and have had my ears pierced again, but it was so worth it.

Love my job ❤️🐾❤️

Has anyone had any issues with their Instagram accounts?

I can't get into any of mine, I manage my husbands business account too and have my own business one and my personal one.

Others can see my Marley's Mutts UK instagram account, but all I see is this (photo below) and I can't do anything with it. It keeps saying it's a technical error and to come back but that's been days now.

HAPPY VALENTINE 🐾❤️🐾

🐾 Roses are red, violets are blue,
Dogs are so loyal, and they love you too ❤️

Today's been no different for us than normal. Just another day of loving our animals to the moon and back, and as Steve is working late, I've been cuddled up with the two pups all evening and most of the day to be fair (shhhh) watching rom coms.

Have you done anything special with your animals today than usual? I'd love to hear about.

We're celebrating our Valentines on Sunday, so I could do with some ideas? Anything that went great or didn't turn out so well??

To ALL Dog Owners, please make yourself aware of the Muzzle Movement.

ALL dogs CAN bite whether they are nervous, anxious, fearful, scared, in pain, put into awfully unfair situations and for many more reasons.

ALL dogs should be muzzle trained so if they needed to wear it one day, it doesn't add to their stress levels.

Trying to put a muzzle on a scared dog or a dog in pain, is really difficult and very dangerous.

As responsible dog guardians, it's our duty to not only keep muzzles on our dogs if they are required, no matter the circumstances, but to ensure they are comfortable wearing one, should there ever be a need.

You, your family and friends, strangers, other dogs, vets, veterinary nurses, dog groomers etc... will all thank you 🙏 ❤️🐾

Dangerous behaviour with their mouths isn’t just about biting… and we shall die on that HILL! 💃🏻⛰

It can include… 👇

Eating dangerous items like rocks, sticks, or rubbish

Hard mouthing or grabbing during play or training

Pulling at stitches when a cone isn’t suitable…

Assuming a dog is wearing a muzzle because they’re aggressive is a sweeping generalisation – and it couldn’t be further from the truth.

That said, there is nothing wrong with dogs that have a bite history. Any dog can bite under the right circumstances (yep, even your dog!), and muzzles are a responsible way to keep everyone safe while working through challenges. 💗

Who’s with us? 🙂

Am sharing this petition on beginners of a friend and colleague.

Too often in the pet industry we get to see so much cruelty to animals and it either breaks our hearts or it breaks us!

Please sign and share to show your support and join the petition to increase the ridiculously low and outrageous outcomes of the criminal justice system or civil action against animal abusers.

We are meant to be a nation of animal lovers, so please be their voice 🐾❤️🐾

When you have a Dobermann and you wake up to this.... you know what kind of day it's going to be 🤦‍♀️

Marley's pushed everything off the coffee table with nose !! God help me today 🙏

Definitely a long walk needed and plenty of enrichment and stimulation to get his physical and mental needs met.

As always a big thank you to WestPaw who we would be lost without. It's the only brand of enrichment toys he has not been able to destroy!

So true. Quick wins do not last. Punishing your dog for their bad behaviour is so misunderstood. You're great, but they're not!

Reward Based Training uses only positive feedback and no punishment methods, techniques or tools.

🐾 Yes it takes longer
🐾 Yes it lasts with practice, consistency and understanding
🐾 Yes it's kinder to your dog and will only increase their good behaviour, lessen or remove their bad behaviour and strengthen your relationship

🐾 YAPPY CHRISTMAS and a PAWSITIVELY PERFECT DAY ❤️

Wishing all my past, present and future clients, a very Merry Christmas and the warmest of wishes for a Happy & Healthy New Year.

We're looking forward to seeing all the old faces and meeting the new ones in 2025.

It's been a pleasure working with all, whether that's been supporting you on your dog training journey; providing home visits or pet sits so you can get out and have fun; or taking your pups on a dog walk so you can get on with your day.

However you're spending today and whoever you're spending it with, enjoy it.

If it's a tough day for you, I'm thinking of you; if you're on your own or working, I'm sending you a hug.

A special Happy Christmas to all the pet professionals out there who are putting their plans on hold so you can have the best time knowing we're keeping them safe, happy and healthy.

Good things are coming in 2025 so watch this space 🐾

Marley & Me ❤️
