Thursday was my first day back and I think it would be fair to say that my wee gran was definitely watching over myself and all the pooches. 💜🙏

It was such a beautiful day 😎 and we had 6 Robbins all on the first walk. 😍💜
If that's not a sign I don't know what is!

We decided to head for the river walk since it was so beautiful, everyone had a rare time splashing around playing with sticks, Little Coco was in her element. 😍

What more could a dog walker ask for!? 🙏💜🥰

⚠️We would like to introduce you all to Cash💙😍 (left picture) and Herbie.😍💙👋🐕⚠️

Today was their first day with Lead the way and they were both outstanding. 😎👏🌟

As it was only day one for these beautiful boys, I decided to keep them both on lead.
Cash was a little nervous to begin with, however after 30 minutes or so, I could see Cash starting to come out of his shell more and more. 🐾🐕
Herbie💙 was not phased at all, he was wanting to interact with everyone and was coming back to myself instantly. I don't think it will be too long before these pair are off lead within the group, as they were outstanding this morning. 🌟💙🐕

Buddy💙, Milo💙, Mutley❤️, Bud💛 and Sorcha💜 were absolutely brilliant with our new arrivals. The pack dynamic today was perfect. 💯🐕🐾

Well done boys and girls! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🐕

For those of you who already knew my wee gran and sent flowers, cards and lovely messages, I'd like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

We were with my gran on the morning she sadly passed and it's been one of the hardest things our family has had to go through since Nana, Papa and Tanya. 💔
Not a day or morning has went by that I've not thought of you Gran. I miss you soo much and I promise I will continue to make you proud. 💜😘

It's not been easy the past 19 days to get up and put the business first when you lose someone so important in your life. 😔😮‍💨💔
My gran always made sure I was OK and if I ever needed anything she would never see me struggle.
She was a wonderful woman fillied with light, empathy, compassion, super caring, would always put anyone before herself and really one in a million and I am so proud to be able to have called you MY GRAN! 🤗💜💜

I have so many amazing memories with you and grandad, as a child and an adult. I will cherish those for years to come.

Your necklace is never coming off gran! 😘😘

I know where my love for animals came from too, the apple certainly doesn't fall far from the tree. The love for dogs in our family runs very very deep. I am so proud of you Gran! 💯💯

I love you so much, you'll forever be with your family and all the dogs. 💜💜💜💜

You may be gone but you WILL NEVER be forgotten. I love you with all my heart gran!

Tuesday is going to be a very tough day for us all. 💔

Thank you all for your understanding regarding next Monday, Tueaday and Wednesday.

I don't know where I would be without having the most understanding and loyal clients.

Thank you all again.

Sincerely,
Claire Hancock. Xx

60 photos below with 3 lead the way adventures. 😃🐕🐾💯😎

It's been a beautiful day for us all and surprisingly very warm in the sunshine. 😎🐕

Lots of stick and ball chasing today for all 3 walkies and yet again everyone has been outstanding. 😃🌟🐕

⚠️We even had an epic morning on our first walk as a fighter jet ✈️✈️ was having fun, before I knew it, I was waving my hat at him and he swooped back around and done an upside down flip so close to me, we were even facing him as he went flying past before he tilted his wings and blasted off past traprain law. Your recruits were loving it too as zoomies followed shortly after. 🤣🤣😃⚠️

Fingers crossed it's another lovely day tomorrow for our Friday pooches. 🙏🙏

We hope you all enjoy the photos and we will be back tomorrow for more fun and games with the best pooches ever. 💯🤗

Walk number 2 and 3 are together folks.

I was planning on going to Pressmennan woods this afternoon, however the beautiful Scottish weather meant I decided to rethink that idea. 🤣🙈🐕

Instead, we headed for our usual spot as it's bang in the middle of Dunbar and East Linton, which means your dogs are not in the van too long after collection. 💯😃🐾

It also means I can give the dogs all the care and attention they deserve in the full hour that they are in my care. 🤝💯🥰

We had an absolute blast on all walks today. 😎🤗

Huge shout out to Milo💙, Ted💙, Buddy💙 and Levi💙 for their progress today, gold stars for the boys! 🐕💙🌟🌟🌟🌟

To be honest, you should all get a gold star for today as you were all outstanding for Aunty Claire and Lead the Way

We will be back in action tomorrow for a very very busy day. 😃🐾👌

If I'm not with your pooch for the usual time tomorrow, please don't be alarmed as we have traffic lights in Dunbar and East Linton at the moment, so I may be running slightly behind schedule but I WILL NEVER FORGET any of your recruits so please don't worry. 💯🤝😘

Thank you all for another amazing day doing the best job ever!

A few photos from our first walk this morning with Coco❤️, Skye❤️, Mutley❤️, Sula❤️, Sorcha💜, Cass💙 and Bud. 💛🐾🥰

Another smashing group of recruits together with plenty of stick chasing, before Sula, Mutley and Sorcha had the bouncy ball completely destroyed. Love it! 🤣🤣

Video to follow later on today folks. 😃

We will be back for round 2 shortly. 💯😎

It's Tuesday already, where does the time go folks!? 😔😬

Just look at those faces below, cuteness overload for Lead the way today! 😍😃😍

We've had 2 adventures and absolutely everyone was having a ball. 😁🐾🐕😎

We look forward to another pawsome day tomorrow with more amazing recruits. 🥰

Thanks again and we look forward to hearing from some of you regarding our previous post about unleashed. (Ive got 4 private messages already) 🐕🐾🤝

⚠️⚠️Just a heads up:⚠️⚠️

I have contacted a few pooches parents to see if you would be interested in myself taking a few of your recruits (those who need some recall training or confidence building) to unleashed at the end of March beginning if April. 🐕🐾🤗

If you feel this is something you'd be interested in, please don't hesitate to ask. I can add you onto the list as I've already got 2 or 3 of our regulars interested.

Best wishes,
Claire Hancock. Xx

I had a helping hand today with my better half, David Martin. 💙😍
Which meant we were able to do one big group walk with the following recruits.........
Buddy💙, Finn💙, Ted💙, Bud💛, Cass💙, Kylo💙, Riley❤️, Beau❤️, Sorcha💜 and Blue. 💙😍🐾😀

Plenty of happy puppers with great recall for our big group walk today. 🤗🐕 (I think Dave was impressed with you all guys! Well done.😃🤗)

Ted💙 and Riley❤️ were with myself getting lots of attention and treats in the process of training, whilst the rest of the group were happy playing fetch with Dave and the unpredictable bouncy ball, much to the groups satisfaction. 🤣

Once we got back to the van 🚐 it was refreshments 💧🚿 all round for everyones awesome energy levels and doggy etiquette. 😎

Lead the way will be back tomorrow but we've had a fantastic day spent with the best pooches. 💯🤗

What a group! 👌😘😀

That's the van clean and fresh for another week........ Dogs must wear slippers now folks! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙈

Could you imagine them walking with slippers on in the mud, all 4 paws glued to the ground refusing to move. 🤣🤣😜

Sorchas💜 definitely not wanting to move today, look at that eye and toung! 😴🤣🤣🙈

Meanwhile, I've got Buddy💛 on my left snoring away.

Oh to be a dog! 🐶😴🤣

It's Friday already!!

Last walk of the week and we've unfortunately had to cut it short by 20mins, due to these very windy conditions. 🥺🥺😢

⚠️safety for your pooches, vehicle and myself will always come first when the weather is involved. 💯

Thank you for your continued understanding. ⚠️

Once again though your pooches were phenomenal despite the conditions. 😃

Now you can see what I mean when Henry goes into a puddle, half of him is covered! 🤣🙈 I've got a job on my hands now. 🤣🤭

First walk of the day with such a loving group. ❤️💛💜🐾🐕🌟

Big shout out to my newest top fans! 💎 Kate Fincham, Susie Kate Davidson

This is just the best, I love when you all send me videos of your pooches waiting patiently for lead the way to arrive. 😍🐶🥰 How adorable is wee Olive??! 🤗😂 Louise Roberts

To have a sighthound off lead in an open environment and also completely overcoming her fear of other dogs, just look at her! 👏🫶😍 I couldn't be more proud as her dog walker. 🥹♥️

A video for this morning's adventure folks since I don't have many on lead recruits. Everyone is good as gold off lead and as you can see they all get along extremely well. 😍🤗

Thursday walkies!

3 absolutely nutters for this one, can you guess who!? 😂👀😂😂 Everyone has been amazing as usual for their lead the way nature walks. 😍👌 What a cracking group together! 👏👏💯

Walk 3 😍
Walk 3 😍

Our last nature walk of the day with 6 very happy and playful puppers. 💞🐶👌🐾 Meg (or should I say.... megatron! ♥️🙈🤣) was outstanding today, even with Boone💙 trying his best to flirt with her. 😝🤣🙈 Zara♥️ is absolutely bust after our walk, not forgetting to mention Beau♥️, Belle♥️and Boone💙 keeping up with Zara over the bouncy ball. The ball did go away after 30minutes, as the last thing I want to do is over exercise everyone. 🤝 This walk has been cut short by 10minutes for both Zara and Beau's safety. ❤️🤗 Lead The Way will be back tomorrow for more fun, socialisation and recall/confidence training. 🤗 Thank you all again for today folks, your pooches have all been on top form once again. 💝

I think it's about time you all seen the van properly folks, we posted a few photos of the new cages ages ago, but I think this video will do it far more justice. 📹👌😀
