Sublime K9

Today I learned… Every year approximately 30,000–100,000 hunting hounds across Spain are abandoned or killed at the end of the hunting season. Discarded when no longer deemed useful, the “good” dogs may get a quicker death, while the “bad” dogs are made to suffer longer. We attended the @free.spanish.hounds March in Glasgow today to support these beautiful dogs and walk with our client Eden & @podencotales 💚 I hope this post encourages others to look deeper into this issue and support the rescue efforts and changes that are needed. Ps.. Toto is up for adoption, he is a fantastic little guy looking for his new home. He is a very lovely boy with a great personality 💚 (He has the yellow bandana in the video)

Hope everyone stayed safe yesterday 💨 Cancelled walks yesterday meant as much as we enjoyed a duvet day, we needed OUT of the house 😄 A well earned run around this morning then a walk around @barras_market .. ❄️ We did grab some hairy cow ears (Henrik’s fave) from the pet stall! 🐮 I know a lot of people aren’t keen on the look of natural chews and are reluctant to feed them to their dog, however they’re a great alternative to most “chews” and come with many benefits! For example, the cow ears are long lasting, a natural de-wormer, low in fat, easy to digest and they’re filled with nutrients 🐄 We really can’t fault him in town, I know I’ve spoke about it before but he really is spot on 💯. Now he’s tucked back up on the couch where he will probably be for most of the night ☺️💚

Some structured outdoor play at the local golf course with Henrik. You may see the word structure and wonder what it actually means in the world of training. To some people, it means different things. For me, it’s about having a purpose for what we do together and providing beneficial / positive experiences to my dogs. The aim of structured play / walks, is to reinforce good behaviours, proof new behaviours, improve engagement, focus, on neutrality around challenging distractions and provide breed fulfilment all whilst exercising your dog. Whoa 😨 doesn’t that all sound like a lot? But what if I told you, it’s actually not as difficult as we sometimes make it out to be and it actually strengthens your relationship with your dog! In the 30 second video, Henrik successfully… Ignored distractions (like another dog) in the distance! Make the right choice by redirecting his attention to me (rewarded for it by doing something he enjoys) Sits and waits calmly until I release him (practicing impulse control, still around distractions) Using his nose to track and find the ball, which is super fulfilling for Labradors. Brings the ball back to me and gives me a lovely delivery! If you’re looking to improve your dog’s focus around distractions or feel like you struggle to get them to listen outdoors, activities like this are ideal, especially for breeds like Labradors, Spaniels, or other dogs with a strong retrieving instincts. The chances are, you already play with your dog outdoors in some capacity, especially if you have a ball loving daft lab like me. A quick 5/10 minutes of this play can be so so so much more beneficial than an hours walk around the street. So next time, try to add some structure into your play, give it some time and watch the results for yourself! ☺️ Pop us a message if you’d like help or to find out more!

At Nicole & James’ Wedding, I had the pleasure of Chaperoning their beloved dog, Mia. With previous experience in the wedding industry and my experience with dogs, I was able to ensure Mia’s presence added a special touch to their big day. From greeting guests, assisting the photographer to get the perfect shots with Mia, to handing her over to her sister to walk her down the aisle. Mia was seamlessly intergrated into their wedding. Thank you so much to James & Nicole for trusting me with all of your gang for so long and giving me the honour of bringing your girl along to your special day, it really means so much to me! Honestly, I couldn’t imagine not having my dog at my wedding and I promise it will bring you and your guests so much joy and create incredible memories. Our service adds a unique element to any wedding and allows your dog to be part of your day. Get in touch if you would like to find out more ☺️

we’re quite thankful for as it’s been a hot & humid summer 🥵! However, summer does mean I’ve been busier with our weddings and pet sitting. Content will be posted soon I promise!! 😁🙏🏼 Some consultations have still to be booked in and I will get there once availability is confirmed. If you’re interested in our group walks, pet sitting or wedding services. Please get in touch by popping us a message. (I have removed our consultation forms as it was becoming a little too impersonal for my liking. If you’ve enquired through the form and haven’t had a response - please give me a nudge).
