I love spending time with Swift and seeing how much she helps people. Even if it's just for a moment. Knowing that she has the power to bring happiness, joy, pain relief, or the recall of a time long forgotten, what she offers to people is endless. Could your dog be a therapy dog? You and your dog might be the perfect fit. There's no minimum amount of time you have to give, it works around you. There aren't many of us in Norfolk, could you help us grow and help the community? 💛🖤💛🖤

It was lovely to have Zero back in, I've missed this little face. She was as cheeky as ever and insisted that I groom her while she sat like a princess on the dog bed 😍

Those eyes 😍 Lovely little Mitzy getting to show off her best feature after her groom ❤️

Teddy is back to his summer cut and we're loving it 😍 I still can't believe how far he has come and really isn't fussed by being groomed. I do have to pay the treat tax but it's worth it for a happy boy 😍❤️

Alfie has just moved to the area and mum came to me because he is nervous about being groomed. He absolutely flew through his first session. We've hopefully found out what is making him nervous and mum is going to work on it over the next week. What a star ✨

This is our best groom yet with Pebbles 😍 I think you can tell how proud he feels and he should be because it was the most chilled groom. He had Auntie Kate to help support him with the more difficult bits but he absolutely flew through the groom 😍

What a difference this groom was for Nancy compared to her last one. She was back on track, (very) relaxed and very much enjoyed the pamper today 😊

Celebrating our wonderful Buddy and how far he has come with his anxiety and nervousness 💛💛💛💛💛and all the dogs and owners that I work with that are trying their best every day 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

Let's paint the town Yellow 💛 today!!

The 20th of March is day! I honor dogs who are anxious, nervous, in training, scared of other dogs or scared of humans; dogs who need space, dogs who needs us to respect their extra needs... dogs in yellow!

Feel free to share it, love it and spread the word widely!!

I ended the day with Milo, who was feeling very sassy and was keeping both me and his sister on our toes. There might have been a bit of treat stealing as well 🤣

Rory has a little bit of a challenge today because he came in with dad, not mum but he absolutely smashed it. This proves that with support, we can get through anything 😊

A bit of a transformation for Flo today 😍 Flo is a quiet girl, who is slightly nervous about grooming but what she does love is the bath, dryer and treats. So we keep it as low stress as possible. Mum and Flo have a little homework to do for her next visit 😍

Teddy is absolute perfection 😍 In traditional grooming terms, this would be considered as a bad groom. In consent terms, this is the most perfect groom ❤️ Teddy has had years of traditional grooming and it's made him stressed and snappy but with the help of his new mum, we are changing that. We have the most amazing team. This is the most work we've done in one session and we were so incredibly happy. We've gone from him being reactive to just the slightest touch, to him telling me if he's not happy, knowing I will stop and move to something else. Consistency, compassion and force free for the win 😍

Please beware of the plastic being washed up on our coast from the tanker collision. Please keep your dogs away and report it on the number in the post 🐾

BREAKING: Plastic pollution on the Norfolk coast 🚨

Unfortunately, four small patches of burnt materials and plastic pellets (or 'nurdles') have been found as a result of the North Sea tanker collision. Authorities have deployed vessels to net pollutants from the sea and co-ordinated actions are underway to collect any that come ashore.

Seabirds can choke or starve after eating nurdles, and may even feed them to their chicks. The plastic can also move up the food chain, from fish to larger marine mammals 😞

If you come across any possible pollution please DO NOT touch and contact Humber Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre on 0344 382 0580 or [email protected]. We are working with other trusts & authorities to support the clean-up effort 📲

I think these photos show how much of a character Skye is 😍 I do love seeing dogs off my old post round, I've missed those ears 😍

Well done Sid. He just completed his first full clip 🥰 We aren't bathing at the moment because Sid is working on the dryer at home. He did extremely well today, just a little bit of homework for his next session 😍

What a session that was with Billy 🥰 We were left smiling and so happy. Billy loves the dryer, so much so, he will snooze his way through being dried. Today was just a bath and dry, so as you can imagine, he loved it 😍 Do much so that I managed to brush him today and this is a first. He all's pretty much let me dry his bum, which is also a first 😀

Little Lola 😍 who has definitely found that she loves to be groomed. On her first session, she really wasn't keen, until she realised I had a ball. Fast forward to her third session, dad brings her a squeaky ball and we have an awesome time. I do get told off if I touch the ball but also if I don't entertain her with it 🤣 it's all about finding the thing they love and working with it ❤️
