Heartbroken 💔 that Oscar passed last week.

Big Oscar (as I called him) really was the bestest most handsome boy! He fitted in with the crew instantly and was loved by everyone, even my cats. He was such a character, happy boy who loved playing with his pals, loved a good run about, splashing in puddles, swimming but most of all rolling in 💩💩

He made me smile and laugh so much, if there was an awkward route to take that's the one Oscar would take. From climbing embankments to jumping barbed wire fences my heart was in my mouth a few times. When I picked him up I always was greeted with a wee howl and cuddles, he loved coming out with his pals.

I want to thank Oscar's dad and family for trusting me to look after him, and while I'm heartbroken I also have wonderful memories.
Thinking of his family 💖

Run free big guy and hope you're rolling in something stinky, will always miss and love you 🌈💕🐾

The ticks are rife this year, I've flicked so many off the dogs. Every night I'm vacuuming the van and always change the mats anyways.

Please check your dogs regularly as they can start as small as a pin head then get larger as they feed so not always easy to spot straight away.

If you're unsure how to remove them I'm more than happy to help. DO NOT try to pull them off as this can leave the head still attached.

Speak to your vet about a good tick prevention medication. Id strongly suggest vets over a supermarket pick up.

Ticks can be picked up anywhere, mostly the garden from birds, not just woodland walks. So be vigilant, this mild wet winter has meant a huge rise in ticks. Also check your own legs after walks. It's almost impossible to walk somewhere without ticks ( this has been requested before 🙄 )

Once removed keep an eye on the area, if you notice red rings seek veterinary advice immediately.

Happy summer walking 💕🐾

This 100% very well said.

I'm seeing more and more reactive dogs and hearing more and more "they just won't........."

Be honest with yourself. How much are you training? It shouldn't be a chore, it should be fun, and every dog deserves fun.

If you're struggling I'd highly recommend getting in touch with a positive reinforcement trainer like Lothlorien Dog Services or there's also a wealth of information from MK9Plus_Dogs

Your dog deserves it 🐾💕

Is training really a bad thing?

The simple answer is no. Actually the only answer is no!

I work with dogs and their people every single day. I’m an experienced trainer with my boots at ground zero.
The single biggest factor I see in dogs coming to me beyond puppy stage is a lack of training.
We are in an era where we want a more “positive” approach in teaching our children & dogs.
Here is my however. We can’t give a dog choices if we haven’t spent time teaching them what good choices are. We can’t give most dogs free choice as they will inevitably make bad ones. Some will be dangerous to either them or others.
We also can’t shrug our shoulders and say “it’s ok today” but then move the needle further down the line as that will add frustration into the mix. Feeling frustrated is an awful way to go.
Here’s a couple of examples of what I mean.

Walk how you want. I don’t mind a bit of pulling. That will get taken literally until you’re fed up being dragged about or your dog wants to go to something it quite simply can’t. So we teach solid leash work. We teach that consistently to avoid frustration- on both ends of the leash.

We teach a sit so we can achieve sit and greet people politely. If not there is a strong possibility your dog will jump on people.

I can stick up my hands and say the more you teach your dog simple behaviour the greater access they have to an arsenal of behaviour. You teach these behaviours using positive reinforcement and you use them, when they are ready and reliable, in situations where you see your dog struggling to find an answer.

When out daily I’m seeing more & more reactive dogs. Why? Now there will be a portion of them who need assistance but how can we assist them if they’ve got no skills? Not all of them have medical reasons for this behaviour. Yes some suffer with anxiety issues but with people we give them coping mechanisms, we don’t just feed them in the hope they cope for a 10 second period, we give strategies that help long term. We don’t just medicate - or we shouldn’t!
Regarding medication, I’m not saying the use of pharmaceuticals should be off the table but it should not be a go to!
I recently was involved in a lovely wee dog that was put on this path and her world was shrinking, unable to go for a walk! Going out for the toilet involved a car trip to a quiet area as she wouldn’t use the garden either.
We worked together on a program that went at the dog’s pace, the human and dog worked together on a ton of training - sit stays, hand targets, contact work, tricks. You name it they do it.
In 6 weeks we saw real progress, in four months the dog is now “normal”, going walks on the beach, doing her last night p*e in the garden, lost a good amount of weight, generally much happier and off all drugs!
After a year of medication! So think carefully and if your behaviour modification program doesn’t involve any training ask why not!

On the note of training. You don’t need hours a day. Just 5 minutes everyday at a time that suits you is more than sufficient.

Having a dog is an honour and a chore in equal measure. This is a working animal. Regardless of breed. They need exercise, they need to get most of their enrichment from a natural environment, they need your time as a social species!

Everyone meet Baby Arwen who's joined the Crew. She's Anyas baby sister and what an absolute super Star ⭐ she's been. Started off puppy walks with Louis, but has quickly settled into the groups and made friends so quickly. She doesn't leave her sisters side. Such a sweet girl with a little sassy side. Im looking forward to watching this girl grow.

Welcome Arwen lots of fun and adventures to have 💕🐾
