The 2026 Save Our Rescue Calendar Contest is HERE! 🐶📅

The week 3 Mini Contest starts now. Enter and get voting to win a site-wide discount at The Muzzle Movement!

Coxhill Behaviour Services has kindly donated this prize to one lucky winner! This is a great opportunity for those with dogs who have more behavioural needs or with XL Bullies to get involved and support South East Dog Rescue.

Muzzles should fit and feel good - ones from The Muzzle Movement look good too (but that’s only half the story). Their muzzles are designed to give your dog freedom to be a dog! Dogs wearing muzzles shouldn’t live restricted lives or miss out on all the doggy things they can do without one. Which is why their muzzles are empowering, hard wearing and comfortable.

The pet that receives the highest number of new votes that week will win a mini-contest prize from one of the participating businesses. In the event of a tie for that week's most votes or if there are no new votes for that week, a random computerised drawing will be held for all eligible pets.

Certain individual business restrictions and limitations may apply and may vary by business. Conor Kerrigan Photography is not responsible for these restrictions and eligibility requirements as determined by each business.

Submit your dog for the chance to win now by visiting the link in the comments. Winners will be announced here next Saturday, so be sure to follow for updates.

This weekend we were in Wales as Duncan was running a 40 mile Ultra Marathon with the dogs.

On the drive back I had time to reflect.

Sunday morning, Duncan said to me Herbie is just as tired as the boys, even though he didn't run. I said to him I know why that is.

We try our hardest not to trigger stack our dogs but sometimes this happens and it's how we manage it.

On Saturday, there was a quiet time at the check point so I took Herbie out for a little walk. On opening the car boot and clipping on his lead the noisest motorbike imagined came past- Trigger number 1- now Herbie looked at me for guidance and I asked him to relax which he did.

Trigger 2 there were a few people around the check points and again, Herbie looked for guidance and he relaxed and decided he wanted to lie down while we all had a little chat.

We went and dipped our feet in the stream and had a plod down the cycle bath, no noise just the sound of the birds singing in the glorious sunshine.

Trigger 3 came when we were back by the check point and a lorry decided it was going to reverse, that's fine we had time to be able to settle and he knew he was safe.

Finally, that noisey bike came back x 3 of them this time. They stopped and reved their engines multiple times. Herbie didn't bark at them, he looked for direction from me.

Although, Herbie wasn't pushed over his threshold, which is now much higher due to the choice and agency he has in his life, the events still took a lot of mental activity- this was why he was so tired. Looking back, this time last year he would have been reacting to everything. He has come so far, but we must not forget how mentally stimulating this is.

Herbie was allowed just to sleep if he wanted to, so the next day he was rearing to go. Giving him the choice to sleep really makes a difference.

Same with humans, if you get pushed constantly over threshold you burn out- your dogs are no different.

Herbie had an initial visit to Waves Canine Hydrotherapy - Kent this morning to get to know the place and Josie.

I am very proud of the work we have put in with him and although Josie couldn't touch him, he walked in, he sat down and he sat close to Josie while we all chatted.

If you have a Reactive Dog I can not recommend this place enough. Josie, takes her time, works with the owner and does what is best for the dog so they do not become stressed. Everything is positive from start to finish.

Although Herbie is my dog, he is probably the most reactive dog I have ever worked with and the progress he has made amazes me every day. He is fear reactive from previous trauma and pain, but he is getting there!

A massive thank you!

Yesterday I was lucky enough to be able to go and watch a couple of sessions at this purpose built local facility.

All I can say is wow! Josie, is amazing, nothing is done that the dog is not happy with and all sessions are tailored to not only your dogs health needs but also their behaviour needs too.

Yesterday, I observed a dog who had various medical needs being supported to use the treadmill. This lovely dog is scared of water but with Josies help she relaxed enough to be able to have the treadmill moving.

This place is a behaviourist dream, there are toys, treats and lickmatts a plenty. Josie really gets the link between behaviour and pain.

All in a day's work! Improving the welfare of our pigs so that when they are moved they will just walk across touching the target rather than needing to be herded with pig boards.
