🎉 Back to Business After a Holiday! 🐾

Today has been a productive and fulfilling Monday at Pawsitively Yours Pet Care! Here's a peek into my day:

📚 Started the day bright and early with my Dog Training Certification Course—excited to keep growing and learning to better serve my furry clients!

🍳 Followed it up with a cozy breakfast with my family—always the best way to start the day.

📧 Caught up on emails after my holiday—it feels great to reconnect and get back on track!

🤝 Attended my Monday network meeting with B2B Norfolk, where I gave a 10-minute presentation about my services and passion for pet care.

🐾 Enjoyed a lovely check-in with one of my regular furry friends—always the highlight of my day!

📇 Picked up my new business cards (they look amazing!) and started distributing them to spread the word about Pawsitively Yours Pet Care.
🐕 Took one of my regulars for a refreshing walk—nothing beats a stroll with a happy pup!

🍴 Took a break to enjoy lunch with my family—cherishing those special moments.

📇 Continued distributing business cards in the afternoon to connect with more local pet lovers.

🐾 Wrapped up the day with a feed and walk for another one of my regulars—ending the day on a high note with wagging tails and happy paws!

Thank you to everyone who makes my work so rewarding. Here's to an amazing week ahead! 🐶💼✨

🌹❤️ Happy Valentine's Day from Pawsitively Yours Pet Care! ❤️🌹

We're celebrating the love we share with our furry, feathered, and scaly friends today! 🐾

Whether it's a wagging tail, a gentle purr, or a playful hop, our pets show us unconditional love every day.

To all our wonderful clients and their beloved companions, thank you for letting us be a part of your family. We hope your day is filled with love, cuddles, and lots of treats! 🐶🐱🐢🐔🐹🐰🦆

Share a photo of your pet feeling the love today and tag us! We'd love to see how you're celebrating with your pets. 📸💕

I don’t share many photos of my clients dogs for many reasons:

- my clients are private individuals
- I share the photos and/or videos to my clients directly with a report
- I would rather spend quality time with your pets by giving them the attention they deserve and need, and less time on social media
- social media is a borrowed platform - if my group/page closes, then we’ve lost our connection and wonderful memories

If this resonates with you, please get in touch and arrange your meet and greet [email protected]

⚠️We keep seeing more and more people being attacked by dogs, whether it is their own or someone else’s dog.

🐕‍🦺A dogs body language can tell you a lot of things, but the most important thing you can do is keep your dog on a lead at all times. If your dog doesn’t like the lead, then you need to train them! It is the law, that they must be on a lead (with exceptions) especially if they don’t have great recall and in public spaces.

🪴They shouldn’t be able to escape your garden. Your garden should be completely dog proofed.

👮Unfortunately, the owner of this dog is going to be in serious trouble with the law.

❓Did you know- just your dog approaching or walking past someone is a criminal offence if the person is feeling scared.

A person was taken to hospital after being attacked by two dogs in Sporle Road, Swaffham, at around 6am on Wednesday.

Ever wondered if your dog needs to carry their ID? 🐶 Turns out, unless your furry friend is a secret agent on official duty or moonlighting as a sheepdog, they need a collar with your name and address! No more excuses, Fido! 😉

12/02/2025

Hi everyone!

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ll be unavailable today from 9.30am til 1.30pm due to training and dog walking commitments, followed by a hospital appointment for my son.

I will get back to any messages tomorrow.

Thank you for your understanding! 🐾 ❤️

🌟 Friday Focus: Understanding Dog Body Language

Does your dog get overexcited or worried around other dogs? You're not alone! Understanding what your dog is telling you is the first step to better walks.

Key signs to watch for:
• Tail position and movement
• Ear position
• Body stance
• Eye contact
• Lip licking or yawning

👉 Top Tip: Give your dog space when they need it. Not every dog wants to say hello, and that's perfectly okay!

Want to work on your dog's confidence? Join our supervised dog socials at Manor Farm Dog Meadow - a safe space for proper introductions! 🦮
