🎆FIREWORKS GUIDANCE TO HELP YOUR DOG FEEL SAFE 🙏

For some owners and dogs Bonfire 🎆 Night & Firework 🎆 season can be a huge source of stress!

I am one of the lucky owners..my dogs are not bothered about the loud bangs and screeches but anxiety can effect up to nearly 50% of Dogs during this awful time 😥.

Here are a few hints/ tips to help relieve your dogs anxiety.

🏖 If you can go away for the day / night if there are scheduled events near you, taking your dog to a quieter location/ area?

🚶‍♀️🐕 Take them for a long walk or give mental Enrichment - a tired Dog can help avoid being stressed & scared

💜 Stay Calm! Dogs pick up our stress 😩

🪟 Keep the curtains closed & provide a ' safe place '. This could be a den, on the sofa or extra covers on their bed with a cuddly toy 🧸

🎶🎵 Put on some relaxing music - Classical is usually the go to!

⚾️👃🦴 Give them a distraction - this could be snuffle mats, a new toy to play with or a long lasting chew

🐶 Anxiety coats and jumpers help your dog feel more secure & protected during loud noises 📣

🏨 In severe cases seek advice from your vet. They can prescribe 💊 something to help .

All of the above are just from my experience owning dogs.
Please speak to a professional Dog Trainer or Vet if needed ❤️.

I stock Feelwells Goodnight Oven Baked treats in my shop Raw Meats and Treats !

They are a delicious reward but are used in times of stress.
They are £2.99 a pack and can be fed daily or when required.

Stay safe everyone and give your dogs a hug 🫂 from me.

A reminder that the clocks go back this Sun ( 2am) so the field times will get adjusted accordingly depending on how dark it gets.
I've started to open at 8.30am through the week as it's just too dark to check the field when I'm up at 6.15am to feed the horses 🐎 and dogs 🐕.

Last booking is 6pm - 6.30pm at the moment. There is a flood light attached to our Big shed so if you are finding it dark please just switch it on 💡. However I would suggest to bring a head torch with you.

As it gets darker ⚫️ the weather is now changing 🌧🌂 too which means the field will start to get a bit muddy 😔. So please wear your Wellies!

I have made the decision to limit bookings to 2 cars maximum per session over the Winter ❄️ to Try and protect the field for longer.

I've noticed there can be 4 cars / 6 dogs paying £12 for the hour and hopefully you can understand this is not feasible 💰

🪵Remember to park infront of the logstore.
⏰️Don't arrive more than 5mins before your appointment
✋️Pick up your dogs poo 💩
🌉Close the gate behind you
🛑Don't let your dog dig in the field

Thanks , Emma 😊

Good Evening Everyone 👋.

As most of you will know I have organised a Christmas 🎄 Fayre in the village hall for the last 3 years.

It's a charity event with all proceeds/ raffle money 💰 being donated to my chosen charity.

Last year wasn't as busy as usual..maybe it was the weather or is there too many local Xmas Fayres in the area already?

Please let me know how you feel.

I would be holding it probably end Nov on a Sat?? Or would a Sun suit more people?

Please comment and let me know!

I am more than happy 😊 to organise it. There would be about 12 stalls, home baking and tea / coffee, a raffle and maybe a Tombola stall.

Any ideas welcome.
Thanks.

30/08/2024

Today is going to be a beautiful day 🌞 and looking good 👍 all weekend..yippee!
I'll try and get the grass cut ✂️ again tonight.

A few points to remember when visiting the field 🙏.

🐾 It's a safe place, calm and relaxed for owners and their dogs so please be patient and wait until the person before you is out the field before you get your dog out the car 🚗.

🐾 Poo picking has really improved...so Thank you! Always keep an eye on your dog 🐕.

🐾 All rubbish ( coffee cups/ litter/ broken balls ) to go in the bin 🗑.

🐾 Only Arrive 5 /10 mins before your appointment, no need to come too early ⏰️.

🐾 I know it's a Natural thing for dogs to do but please don't let your dog dig holes in the field.

🐾 Be mindful of the person who is booked in after you and be out the field on time 🙂.

Have a great day everyone.

Emma

Look 👁 What's NEW in the field today 👀.
Some new pieces of equipment!

Great for taking photos on or if your dog likes being a bit higher to see what's going on In the field , these are perfect 💚.

DogGo was the first customer to use them and they got the Paws 🐾 Up from the group!

Thanks to Papa Andy and my youngest son for painting them and putting artifical grass on top.

Please remember that agility tunnels, jumps and the new additions are only for dogs...NOT for children to climb on! 🙏

It is your responsibility to ensure your dog is safe in the field at all times.If your dog is of a smaller size keep a hold of them as we don't want any accidents. 🤞😄.

🐾 Over the last few weeks I have had more and more customers meeting up in the field..which is great!

Firstly, I apologise for the first photo 🤢 but I have to show what I am finding on a nearly daily basis when I check the field at 8pm.

Yesterday I found soil in a straight line 🤔 as I looked there was POO 💩 underneath! So someone saw their dog 🐕 poo and covered it with soil instead of picking it up 😔 .
OR the customer was not watching their dog and another customer covered it up to prevent standing in it 🙄.

I pride myself and my field in being THE best field in the area.

🐾 It's FULLY secure

🐾 I try and keep the grass 🟩 cut on a regular basis

☕️ Tea / coffee area is cleaned every morning

🗑 Bin is cleaned and bag changed every night

🚮 I pick up any litter I find

⏰️ I set up the field EVERY morning and check EVERY evening 🌃...There's no one else who helps me...just me!

😄 I am always helpful and friendly and Try and meet as many customers as I can when I am at home 🏡

BUT more often I am getting rather frustrated with the minority of Customers who don't keep an eye 👁 on their dogs.

My prices have been the same for nearly 4 years and I appreciate my regulars who pick up the odd poo / tennis ball that is left but if you Hire the field it's YOUR responsibility to pick up poo, litter, toys and keep the field Clean & tidy throughout the day 🙏.

If your dog has runny poos / upset Tummy...DO NOT bring them to the field as other dogs may get ill. Send me a message and I will be more than happy to swap your booking to another day.

I love running the field and seeing dogs enjoy their time off lead and I have always had amazing feedback from NEW customers about how Kirkgunzeon Canines is the best field. Which is amazing 👏.

I have already bought 3 Paddling pools and put 2 agility jumps and 2 tunnels in the bin since June.

The equipment is for dogs..not for children to use/ jump on . The poles are not to be used at play sticks and not to be chewed by dogs ( yes, I've seen this happen various times!).

Again, I am sorry to have to write ✍️ a not so pleasant post but I felt I had no option but to remind Customers to be understanding that this is MY ( Emma) Business...not a big company with lots of staff 😊. Just Me 🤣.

Hope you can all understand 🙏 ❤️.

Thank you
Emma x

My oldest dog Nala had her reading glasses on last night 👓 and she was reading out "The Rules of the field" 🤣. I thought I would share them as a reminder ;

🚗 Park in the space closest to the field gate ( if it's avaialble)

🐕 DO NOT approach the gate to my garden to talk to the
dogs. ( they are friendly but are getting more and more reactive)

🐶 DO NOT take your dog over to see my dogs either ✋️

💩 Always keep an eye on your dog in the field so you can see where they are doing the toilet 🚻. Pick it up

☕️ If you have a cuppa please put all cups / tea bags in the poo bin and use a wipe to clean the surface after u have made a cuppa

⚽️ Collect all toys you use and put in grey basket

🚗 Keep your dog in the car until the person before is out the field

⏰️ Dont arrive too early for your appointment. 5 /10 mins is perfect

💧If the Paddling Pool is out Please don't move it, if it needs filled up with fresh water just let me know!

Thanks for taking the time to help Nala 🐾 with the rules!
