At fourth is biothane leads and collars.

This genius material is just perfect for this time of year, making it easy to take everything from muddy to brand new in just one wipe.

With companies offering everything from prints and designs in every available theme, glitter and studs for sparkle and layering different colours it's hard to just have one.

Dogs can have wardrobes to, why wear the same thing every day 😆.

Coming third is the drying coat.

With so many brands, designs and styles you can get the one that suits you and your dog best.

Why shouldn't they dry is style 😎

Well I drove home smiling all the way today after this mornings Xmas levels progression class.

All the dogs worked their socks off and did so incredibly well.

Some lovely Xmas jumpers with Buddy's mum confirming that it does say SANTAS little helper not SATANS 🤣

Lots of great work on manners today with polite greetings and door manners and everyone was the model student.

All owners today should be super proud of their pups as I know their trainer is.

In second is the portable dog wash the mud daddy.

This piece of kit has absolutely transformed the post walk faff of getting home getting him into the house and bath before he shakes and having to clean up after. Unfortunately we don't have the option for an outdoor warm water tap (which is on my wish list one day).

Now we wash at the end of the walk and then he can come in the house clean and dry off.

Genius idea.

Do you and a post walk wash routine.

Since we are well into winter and having some absolutely minging weather, I thought I would do a winter must have series.

Over the next few days I will be posting up the things I absolutely couldn't get through the winter without, not only for the dogs, but for me too.

If you see something that would make your life infinitely easier this season, amazing. If you already use it, post a photo of it in action.

Up first.............. Do you have a disco pup photo?

Here at Kinder to k9s my mission is to provide a safe, ethical, judgement free place for you to work with your dog from the early puppy days and get you through that tricky adolescent time.

This will allow you to emerge with a well rounded dog who is a joy in all situations that you can be proud of.

My values of being ethical, kind and using fun not fear for your dog whilst having compassion, and understanding for YOU and the struggles that come with a young dog give you a place to turn when you just dont know what to do.

A good one to put into practice out on walks.

If you don't know what is round the corner, it's best not to let your dog go first. You could bump into an on lead dog, a horse rider, someone fearful of dogs, a cyclist, wildlife or any number of things.

It is always best to check the coast is clear before allowing your dog through. Once you have assessed you can decide whether it is safe to continue on lead or off lead.

Some people rest on Sundays,

At Kinder to k9s we start early with lots of awesome learning.

Was lovely to meet some new dogs and their lovely families and we all had so much fun in the levels class.

The best bit is............ The rest of the Sunday is spent snoozing and dreaming about how much fun you had ☺️

Cant wait for next week.

The faces and phases of dog ownership. It's definitely a roller coaster of emotions, some days you may get all of them, some days you may just get some.

From the early days of puppyhood to the crazy adolescence and beyond when hormones have calmed and things are more predictable.

However it is always important to try and end with at least one win no matter how small.
As it can sometimes be easy to focus on the negatives and this can steal away from the little positives that you may have.

If you want to have more positives in your daily life and have more fun with your dog get in contact now

DON'T JUDGE MY CHOICES IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND MY REASONS!

Are you embarrassed about your dogs behaviour but worry you will be judged by a trainer for not seeking help before now?

This is one experience I want to ensure no dog owner has to go through as I believe it is never too late to seek help for your dogs behaviour.

It is a real shame to me that there may be owners out there who are living with behaviours they don't like in their dog, all because they are worried they will be judged or lectured for not doing what a trainer deems the correct way to do things.

Owners who fear taking their dog out in public for fear of being judged or ridiculed by the public for their dogs behaviour or that they feel guilty that their dog isn't getting the life or freedom they deserve due to their behaviour.

One of my goals as a dog trainer is not just to train the dogs, but to provide the owner with a safe understanding environment to do it in. I believe that anyone has the right to train in a safe, judgement free environment.
