****UPDATE*** she’s back home where she belongs! 😁🙏🏻🐾
Found this beautiful girl roaming around near manor Croft school in Earlsheaton around 5.30 today! Been to the vets and she’s microchipped but not registered anywhere. She doesn’t have an ID tag on. The black marks around her neck are to scrub the colour of her collar for obvious reasons. She’s definitely well looked after, recently groomed and healthy, someone will be really missing this lovely girl! Let’s get her home 🙏🏻🐾

Looking forward to a week off, much as I love all my part time, four legged friends, I’m looking forward to the break! Merry Xmas guys, enjoy the time off with your fur babies, I know I’m going to! 🥰🐾❤️🤶

That moment you know you have to go to the vets…. Found quite a lump on my little Bella…… Put it off cause I was so scared of what it could be! They took a biopsy today, rang me earlier to say it’s just a fatty lump and to keep an eye on it!
Happy and relieved is such an understatement! ☺️🐾❤️

A few days ago I posted about how good coconut oil was for your dogs teeth. It’s also good for their skin and coat when they lick in from their teeth!
This post isn’t animal related, but thought I’d post on here to reach a wider audience (already posted on my personal page )!
Firstly, if you get a cut/scratch/graze….. rub some virgin coconut oil on after it stops bleeding and a few times after, it’ll heal faster than anything you’ve ever seen!! It’s miraculous!!
Next, ditch the expensive face/body creams! Rub virgin coconut oil in your skin, it works wonders! 👍😁

Been doing some research…… not many owners brush their dogs teeth, dogs don’t like tooth brushes, they love the paste you use but not the brush! 😂😂
So I’ve been testing this….. get a face flannel, rub a corner of it in coconut oil and rub around your dogs teeth and gums! They’re still not happy with it but it’s much better than the brush! And WOW! My dogs teeth and breath are so much better! Give it a go folks, it works, it’s natural and it’ll save on vet bills! 👍🐾💜

I’ve got to get this out there….. dog Walker/owners please be conscious of what’s going on around you! Please think, please keep control of your dogs! Please keep your dogs restrained in a vehicle! It’s not hard, it’s not rocket science, it’s just common sense and being responsible dog owners/walkers!
I’ve had two bad situations today due to irresponsible people in ‘control’ of dogs! First was out on my first dog walk, a woman with two dogs, I was already in the field, one of her dogs escaped from the boot before she could catch it, it ran straight over to us and attacked one of the dogs I was walking!!! 😡 Luckily she wasn’t injured, but she was terrified. But during the commotion I was dragged over and injured because the woman involved couldn’t get control of her dog and I had to grab it by the collar while also trying to protect the dogs I was walking!!! 😡
The second….. Someone who didn’t put their dog on a lead when I clearly had one on the lead, she’s reactive when approached by another dog so when his dog approached her she kicked off. What did he say as his dog approached ‘it’s ok she’s friendly’!!! Arrrggghhhh!!! I’m sick to death of people saying their dog is friendly, obviously that makes things alright then doesn’t it! NO it doesn’t!! THINK about other dog walkers/owners, look at the situation. Some dogs are on leads FOR A REASON!
I’ll say this for ever and a day, people should have to take training/exams to own a dog. Rant over, sorry 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🐾

Been trying to get a good photo of this little girl, but when she’s out and about I’ve not a chance on earth, too much energy to stop and be still for 30 seconds! 🤦🏻♀️ So I grabbed one at home after our walk yesterday! 😁👍
This beautiful girl is Bella and she’s our newest member of Doggy Trails! Too blooming adorable she is! 😊🥰🐾💜

Of course little otto, who is just so full of love for everyone and everything, absolutely loved her and couldn't stop giving her kisses 😘 😂🐾💜
Otto and Benny had the time of their life. Both as fast as each other 😆🐶🐕🦺🐕🐾💜
Mad Mondays with mabel and Milo...oh and chewie in the back doing her thing 😂🐾💜
Otto and Gilbert had such a good time together the other day. Otto has so much love it's too cute but I think Gilbert was getting a bit fed up of all the kisses 💋😂🥰🐾💜
Just 2 little lovebirds playing kiss chase 🥰🐾💜 #dogs #dogstagram #dogsofinstagram #doggytrails #love #flirtingwithnature
I think it safe to say that Otto and Mabel really missed each other. Mabel wasn't allowed to come out with the boys for a couple of weeks due to being in season so they were over the moon when it was over and they could play together again 🤗🥰🐾💜
Otto is so happy to be back out with his friends after a week off because he had a little operation, I think his friends have missed him too 🥰🐾💜
Little smudge being her usual sassy self 💁♀️😂🐾💜
He is off the lead and playing lovely with the other doggies and wasn't scared of the horse in the group (chewie 😂) 🐾💜
Mad Mondays at doggy trails 🤪🐾💜
These two are just bonkers together! I love watching them play! Teddy is always the instigator, he would play all day! 💜🐾😁 #teamdoggytrails
Holly knows how to keep cool when it’s too hot!🐶🎾I really wanted to join her🤣❤️
Mabel, Otto and Chewie had a lovely time together today. They all got on wonderfully. Mabel is a very popular girl, looks like she has 2 boyfriends now 😍😂🐾💜
How Doggy Trails came about...… I was working as an IT Service Manager, managing a team of 16 people - a very stressful job to say the least! So after much consideration of what my next career could be, I decided I would do what I loved the most - work with animals! So after spending time putting things into place, I left my job to start concentrating on my new business, I ploughed my heart and soul into making it the best it could possibly be for you and your best friend.
That was two and half years ago, since then we have expanded to 5 people covering different areas from Mirfield, Dewsbury, Thornhill, Birstall, Batley, Alverthorpe, Kirkhamgate and many more. I have spent my spare time studying for the relevant qualifications to provide the best possible care and become the best carer/trainer I can be. It’s not all about taking dogs out for a walk (although this is the fun part!), or having dogs come and spend their holiday with us (so is this!), it’s also about taking the time to understand everything there is to know about them, how they learn, how they ‘speak’ to us and each other, about the different breeds and their traits, how, and why, they can develop anxiety problems and how to avoid this from an early age and resolve it in later life.
So, yes we are experienced, professional dog walkers who also provide home from home boarding, dog/puppy training and pet sitting for a wide variety of animals. Why choose us? We have over 35 years of experience with a wide variety of animals, from dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, hamsters, chickens, reptiles and horses (and the list goes on!) We are fully insured, DBS clear and 4* licenced with Kirklees Council (the highest standard I could achieve until next year!). We hold diplomas in Canine Communication Level 3, Canine Behaviour and Training Level 3, Dog Training Level 4 and Puppy Training level 3 and I’m currently studying Canine Health and Nutrition level 3.
We have well equipped vans for transporting our furry friends, they are all kept separately and safely in crates so they all have their own space (which doggies love)! We always carry fresh water and clean towels to clean them off, oh and a Mud Daddy to wash them off if they are OK with it (some aren’t very keen!). The treats we use are made by us, everything in them is fit for human consumption, no added nasties and very safe and healthy for the doggies. We never walk more than 5 dogs at any one time, unless two of us take them out and then its no more than 7 between us, it gives us time to enjoy them, play with them and have some bonding time. We only walk them in fields and woods, no street walking unless specifically requested, we can then make arrangements for one of us to street walk.
As you can see, we really do dedicate our lives to the well being of all animals in our care and go above and beyond to ensure they are well cared for. We are very flexible to meet the needs of our customers who wouldn't hesitate to recommend our services, you just have to read our reviews and recommendations on Facebook and Bark, we can tell you how great we are, but what are customers say is true testament to the service we provide. Give us a call, send an email or message us to see how we can help with your requirements.
We always arrange a meet and greet beforehand so you can get to know us and if we are right for you, we can get to know you and your best friend, and to understand your requirements so we can provide the best service possible to you and your pet.
