Happy Easter. Hope you all have a lovely day 🐶

While the children were doing their egg hunt here (all out of reach of the animals we share our home with), Mango (the pooch) got a new toy to keep her busy…it didn’t even last as long as the hunt, but served a purpose and gave her a positive outlet for her energy 🥰

Why we should teach our dogs how to choose to walk without pulling rather than using a quick fix. Yes it takes time, patience and perseverance but it’s worth it, for us and for them ❤️

This week we welcomed three new puppies to the EXEmplar Family - Archie, Rufus and Bella 🥰

They all did a fab job and we’ll look forward to supporting them with their learning while they grow.

If you have a puppy you would like to do some training with, to help them to listen well and become a happy member of the family please get in touch 🐶

Bella, Shadow and Peggy were back for some more advanced level training and this time they were learning to look away from a distractions as important as food 👏👏👏

We missed three of the puppies this week but here is a photo of Cosmo doing very well learning to walk without pulling and Toffee doing amazingly with his impulse control and staying when asked 👏👏👏

How hot is too hot?

Can’t believe I’m posting this in April but it’s been a warm one today and even in these temperatures it can feel too warm for some dogs.

So this is a handy guide to help know how hot is too hot 🐶

Just a reminder that dogs aren’t allowed on a lot of beaches from tomorrow 😢

UPDATED POST:

From 1 April we're asking people to keep doggie paws off some of our beaches until the Autumn.

Parts of Teignmouth, Shaldon, Dawlish and Dawlish Warren beaches will introduce a dog ban from 1 April until 30 September - for full details of which beaches can be found on our website - https://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/sports-and-leisure/beaches/beaches/dogs-on-beaches/

We know that not everyone is a dog lover, so we want to keep our beaches as accessible as possible for our residents and visitors to enjoy throughout the summer months.

There are still lots of places where four-legged friends are welcome over the summer, including the River Beach (back beach) Teignmouth, Ness Cove and Holcombe beach.

Devon Loves Dogs has lots of dog-friendly walks and places to visit over Easter and all year round.

Otto has recently completed his 121 Puppy Foundation Training - he’s a very quick learner, learning with the real life distractions of a busy family home 👏👏👏

What a lovely review to wake up to - reviews really do make all the difference for small businesses so if you haven’t left one yet and could spare a few minutes of your time we would be extremely grateful. Every time someone leaves a review, we do a little happy dance 🤣🐶

Scout, Wally, Herbs and Moxie all had great fun learning how to search luggage recently - what a fab job they did but more importantly what fun they had 🥰
