Certified dog trainer offering walking and training services.
(21)
So proud of this guy today, his first session with multiple friends for a REALLY long time.
The vehicle anxiety was just too much for him and he was not being kind to his friends in the field but today he hopped in the van with minimal fuss and enjoyed every second of his group walk 💖🙏🏼
It's taken almost a year to get him here and it's been worth it 💛

This is such an important message, social media isn't real!
Your dog likely doesn't know what "perfect" is!
You don’t have to be the perfect dog owner.
I’ve spoken to a few dog owners this week that feel immense pressure to be perfect for their dogs. I suspect social media plays a huge part in this.
We open up Facebook or Instagram or TikTok and are flooded with videos of dogs doing amazing training, going on beautiful hikes, eating bowls of gourmet and perfectly arranged food. I know that’s the sort of thing I post of my dogs on my socials because put quite simply, it’s more fun and engaging!
However I want to tell you, that if you feel like you’re not the perfect dog owner, don’t be so hard on yourself. The secret is, none of us are!
A training session that’s done while you sit on the floor in some grotty pjs and isn’t TikTok worthy is absolutely okay.
A walk that’s around a dreary industrial estate because you haven’t got the energy that day to take them up a mountain and film a beautifully curated reel is okay.
A bowl of food that’s nothing but their normal kibble with a blob of yogurt and a couple of wrinkly blueberries on top that isn’t Instagram worthy is okay.
We put huge pressure on ourselves and if we aren’t attaining ‘perfect dog ownership’ every day we are often horrible to ourselves. The thing is, your dog still loves you. He still loves the little training session at 9pm in your pjs. He still loves the dreary industrial estate. He still loves the biscuits and blob of yoghurt with the wrinkly blueberry.
Dogs are incredible and they just live in the moment, and they don’t EVER think less of you for not being perfect.
Take the pressure off yourself. Comparison is the thief of joy after all and often when we compare our dogs lives to the social media dogs lives, we feel like we aren’t meeting expectations. The truth is, that social media is a snap shot in time and isn’t the whole picture. You don’t have to be perfect and filtered and edited to have a happy dog.
Does anyone want to go for a walk today? 🤔🤔
The sign of happy and fulfilled dogs 💖
Happy 9th birthday to my beautiful Scampi Rooney Jones.
The princess who has her own bedroom and feels the same way about leaving her king size bed as I do, my stooge dog who has helped so many other dogs conquer their fears and stay social 💖

Lovely walks today 💖

If you didn't receive your email you can always check your portal for any of your invoices 🐾
We're 3 days into the week of summer 🌞
So just remember this: no dog ever died from missing a walk, but lots of dogs have died from walking in hot temperatures
What a wonderful morning everyone had today!
Lush 💖
Here's some fun games/tricks you can play/teach in the house and garden this week to keep their brains active whilst it's too hot for walkies!
I think these are going to come in handy this week!
The paddling pool was very much appreciated this morning!
What a morning 🌅
Important!!
We're in for some HOT WEATHER this week so please keep an eye on your messages - there will be changes to walk times
So far we've changed tomorrow and Tuesday but it's likely that Wednesday and Thursday will be affected too
House visits will be available throughout so please let me know if you'd like one 🙏🏼
Save this for a day when you doubt yourself. When you are tired. When you are struggling. Because doing this will not only fill your dog's cup up but it will get you closer to where you are aiming for with your dog. Allow me to explain these in more details:
In no particular order...
🐾have contact & touch (so long as your dog desires that) that might be laying on the sofa together, in bed drinking tea, touching whilst you eat your toast. Touch is incredibly powerful but slow and calm touch also helps dogs and people regulate themselves and relax.
🐾refill a treat toy 4-5x - because let's not be stingy! And most of all, because if we want it to be rewarding for our dogs it needs to last more than 1 minute! I aim for refilling a toy enough times that will = 20 mins of play for Pip
🐾leave the house together 2-3x (unless you are settling in a rescue or have a dog scared of the outside world) these outings don't need to be to the park. They need to be to places that your dog enjoys, that you enjoy and where it's stress free. E.G. 1 could be sat on your front step watching the world go by. 1 could be a drive to the woods for off lead fun. 1 could be a walk to the cafe to get their daily sausage!!
🐾let them destroy something if they like doing it. Imagine finishing that email, that task on Click up or Slack. That's the dog version!
🐾make time to play a game they adore for 15 mins - could be you chasing each other, could be hide n seek, could be hide the ball in the grass.
🐾play find it. Because every dog loves this. It's tiring, it's fun and it can be played anywhere.
🐾sit in the sun together, it's an easy win. Do it on your balcony, on a bench, in your front garden.
Play date with Barry this morning, I bought the old girl along too 💖
We love Tails of Blackwoof their fields have so much fun stuff 🤩🤩
A very busy Friday today!
An assessment walk for scrummy little Nancy, group walk, solo walk, cat visits, a meet and greet AND I went to collect some new toys for the field 🤩
Me & my boy 💛
My soul dog, who has taught me so much, bought me so much joy and who pushed me to get my training qualifications, I will be forever grateful that this gorgeous hunk came into my life 🥰

Dogs vs BBQ I am incredibly proud of my hounds today 💖 Scampi has always been this way around food but for Biscuit & Ludo this is a great achievement!

Let's talk about loose lead walking I've opted to use his 5m long line on walks because: A) I am well rehearsed in using and handling long lines safely B) I have noticed that sometimes he just needs a little bit of a longer lead to enjoy his walks and sniffs more I always recommend trying a slightly longer lead to clients who say their dog is pulling on walks, it makes a huge difference! But I wouldn't recommend a long line until you're confident handling the long line. If your dog is pulling you on walks I want you to try two things: 1) A "Y" shaped harness with a front clip/ring - my favourite brand is True Love 2) At least a 2 metre lead See what how those two things can transform your walks 💛🐾 #dogs #dog #doglover #dogwalk #doglovers #doglife #pets #pet #lovedogs #petcare #happydogs #positivereinforcement #smallbusiness #supportlocal #supportsmallbusinesses #smallbusinesswales #dogwalker #dogwalking #securefield #socialisation #dogtrainer #dogtraining #dtc #dogtrainingcollege #cdt #certifieddogtrainer
Training unfiltered #10 Here we are back to the van training! We're aiming towards him being in the boot now, with a toddlers mattress (🤣) and his favourite blanket. This is the first van training we've done for MONTHS so I'm pretty happy with how he eventually came to me with the aid of his focus game "ready... Catch" Slight distraction with me neighbour coming out but he smashed that too (usually he barks!) We have a long way to go but I know we will get there 🥰 Learn together with your dog and strengthen your bond 💛 #dogs #dog #doglover #dogwalk #doglovers #doglife #pets #pet #lovedogs #petcare #happydogs #positivereinforcement #smallbusiness #supportlocal #supportsmallbusinesses #smallbusinesswales #dogwalker #dogwalking #securefield #socialisation #dogtrainer #dogtraining #dtc #dogtrainingcollege #cdt #certifieddogtrainer
Jessie's house visit was the serotonin boost we all need Just pure joy 🤩 Super impressed with her "touch" - her pawrents have been working hard on that so they can use it out and about to refocus Jessie from her distractions 🥰 #dogs #dog #doglover #dogwalk #doglovers #doglife #pets #pet #lovedogs #petcare #happydogs #positivereinforcement #smallbusiness #supportlocal #supportsmallbusinesses #smallbusinesswales #dogwalker #dogwalking #securefield #socialisation #dogtrainer #dogtraining #dtc #dogtrainingcollege #cdt #certifieddogtrainer

My husband just sent me this and said "it's you" 🙃 He's not wrong 🤣🤣
Check out today's group! I am loving the relaxed vibe, loose body language, happy dogs, all doing what they want to do in the space 💖 This is why it's SO beneficial to have group walks that are: Guided and supervised by a qualified pet care professional Run in a privately hired secure field Limited to smaller groups Does your dog walker provide all of the above? If you'd like to see your dog loving life with their pals get in touch!! #dogs #dog #doglover #dogwalk #doglovers #doglife #pets #pet #lovedogs #petcare #happydogs #positivereinforcement #smallbusiness #supportlocal #supportsmallbusinesses #smallbusinesswales #dogwalker #dogwalking #securefield #socialisation #dogtrainer #dogtraining #dtc #dogtrainingcollege #cdt #certifieddogtrainer

Today has been so wholesome and full of laughter 🥰 Maggie saw some ducks 🦆 Storm had her first group walk and aced it 😍 Percy did his best chinchilla impression 🐿️ Atreyu and Tommy had the best paired walk together! 🐾 And I'm looking after Atreyu while his pawrents are away 💖 #dogs #dog #doglover #dogwalk #doglovers #doglife #pets #pet #lovedogs #petcare #happydogs #positivereinforcement #smallbusiness #supportlocal #supportsmallbusinesses #smallbusinesswales #dogwalker #dogwalking #securefield #socialisation #dogtrainer #dogtraining #dtc #dogtrainingcollege #cdt #certifieddogtrainer
No training for Ludo today as he's got a vet appointment today and that's a lot for him. But I managed to capture this (iffy) footage with big guy Barry 😊 There's an offlead dog barking standing real close to where we need to go (to get back in the van) and Barry totally smashed this, he loves nothing more than food so it was a smooth transition to get him past the dog 😊 Training walks available!

Training unfiltered # 2 Bit longer today, probably a bit much for you all to watch but I was SOOOO chuffed when I managed to take a couple of steps back and he came to me to do a "touch". You can really see him thinking about things today, there were a few distractions from birds and the other two barking inside so I'm very proud of him! There's a few moments where he stops to sniff and this is basically him saying "mum, I need a minute to process" - always allow them to disengage and let them choose to re-engage. Full disclosure - my timings are still off, I need to be more patient (this will always be an issue for me) and my hand positions aren't great. This is why it's great to film yourself so you can look back, learn where you've gone wrong and do better next time! Learn together with your dog and strengthen your bond 💛 #dogs #dog #doglover #dogwalk #doglovers #doglife #pets #pet #lovedogs #petcare #happydogs #positivereinforcement #smallbusiness #supportlocal #supportsmallbusinesses #smallbusinesswales #dogwalker #dogwalking #securefield #socialisation #dogtrainer #dogtraining #dtc #dogtrainingcollege #cdt #certifieddogtrainer
Training unfiltered!! I'm going to be recording Ludos training as much as possible and it'll be totally unfiltered, the only edits will be when we're off screen (because of my terrible camera skills). I hope this helps people to see that training isn't always perfect, it's a process of ups and downs! This is his first try with "touch" which is a really amazing cue to have in your toolbox as it can be used in so many contexts and we finished off with a little bit of "catch" which he learned yesterday at his behaviour consult and as you can see he loves it! I've sped it up to 1.5x for easier viewing - please enjoy Ludo's giant boof sounding like a yap 🤣🤣 Full disclosure - my timings are completely off, I shouldn't be moving my hand towards his face at all and I was quite impatient during this exercise. This is why it's great to film yourself so you can look back, learn where you've gone wrong and do better next time!
