Should you neuter your dog? It's a question all puppy owners will have to think about and it's rarely just a simple yes or no! My latest blog post covers the pro's and con's of neutering, as well as the potential alternatives.
Have you neutered or spayed your dog? I'd love to hear your experiences in the comments below

I’ll start this post with the major caveat that I can’t tell you whether you should neuter or spay your dog.

Accidently got this action shot of Duke enjoying his .dog chew on the beach. I can't see that I'll ever manage to deliberately take a photo like it again 😂

I grabbed this chew when collecting coffee and our favourite peanut butter cookies from I'm foreseeing popping into Mugs on the way to the beach for drinks &, snacks for my gang being our summer routine ☀️

Exciting news!
Due to high demand we are now offering a dog sitting service for our regular walking and training clients. As well as Laura, Dan and Claire, Laura's mum Carol has also joined the team and will be offering dog sitting too. Carol is insured with us and will do her canine first aid training in due course.
The fee for this will be £40 per 24 hour period. Please message us through your WhatsApp group to enquire about potential dates and we can let you know who is available and go from there. Looking forward to spending even more time with your delightful dogs 🐶❤️
