🐶🐾 It's a wrap! All puppies have found wonderful homes to go to 🐾🐶
As cute as they are, we won't be doing it again!
We hope their new hoomans enjoy the hard work we put into these pumpies and make the most awesome memories with them!
Best of all, we did not have to say goodbye to any of them, just a "we'll see you soon!"

Only one puppy left and getting the full benefit of our guidance. More than ready for her next adventure.

12weeks old and so many compliments on how well behaved they are.
I won't lie, it's taking up every moment of my time but each day we have moments to build upon. Ready for their next journey.

They may be little walks but it means so much to them, obviously still stopping a lot but we try to keep looking at the parts we are working on.

🐾 One of the most joyous things about owning a dog?🐾

Going for coffee and cake together 🐶 🐶 🐶 ☕ 🍰

10 weeks old and these 2 pups are starting their busy coffee shop training (Ana's fave). This will then translate to their hooman being able to take them out to busy places and enjoy their food in peace.
They did really well with all the noises, people chatting, looking at and coming to see them. Also the is a super dog friendly cafe, so the pups loved seeing another beautiful doggo that was so lovely when they said hello!

2nd jab is done, and although they advise, you can let them out in the garden. I choose to give them a lap around the block with mum. They are doing fantastically, and the routine is setting in with only a little mess indoors.
I am looking forward to taking Bunny (white) to her new home soon and letting her step over the threshold as it should be helping introduce her to her forever pack.
Then I will be getting out and about doing more work with the other 2, knowing they will also find the right ones to enjoy the devotion only a dogs love can give.

Quick tip. I choose very selectively when to use my excited voice. If I have their attention, then I keep mostly quiet, and then any variation of vibration I use creates a different outcome. You start to see how easy it actually is to communicate, letting them know what we like and don't like.

Despite what people may think about reactive dogs! It's never down to a breed or size thing. It's just a dog thing.

I've seen so many with the same issue, running into humans and other dogs or just the them self don't have boundaries or limitations. Sadly, other dogs coming up are always an easier interaction than a person that thinks just because they asked they can still touch.

I've lost count when people don't like being told they can't approach my dog or if they did want to, they have to not stroke it and let the dog just sniff them. The odd few people get it, but most don't or just think they know better.
The main reason I'm always confused is because it's other dog owners I'm mostly having to do deal with, it's not like I'm walking in a town centre expecting people that may not own dogs to know about dogs. I'm talking about where we all walk the dogs, this is a place where I would expect that other dog owners have done their true homework to understand the relationship they have with their companion, there's so much information available on body language.

To those who need the reminder! Putting your hand out towards the dog does not help it smell you better, it's nose works fine. Just because a dog comes up does not always mean it wants to be touched. That's for a second or third date or maybe never. Just be happy it shared its personal space with you. We humans are scary and unpredictable creatures that are not always aware of what we are doing.

To all those who searched for professional help to find you was unequipped to handle either the change in yourself or how to handle others. Nature can be wild as it can be beautiful, and some of us were given the chance to use our negative past to help build positive futures. Thank you for your bravery to let go and not let love cloud the judgment on difficult choices.

If you're sticking with it and learning about yourself with consistency on your own reactivity, boundaries, and limitations you have in place. Remember to be kind to yourself as there will be good days and bad days but never a dull day. Keep at it. There's always a way.

🐶🐶 Only 2 beautiful puppies now available! 🐶🐶

Our little white girl has found her forever home and we are so happy for her and her new human!
We have the brown girl and the fluffy black boy available.
If you have been following along the journey, you'll know these puppies have great foundations in place and will make excellent family pooches!
I mean, how could they not? They are being brought up by a behaviourist!!
Things we are working on on a daily basis:
🐾 Calmness and sitting before exiting their pen
🐾 Sitting and give eye contact for food
🐾 Calm energy when giving affection and not rewarding jumping up
🐾 Desensitisation to broom, hoover, mop, loud noises
🐾 Being handled
🐾 Started crate training
🐾 Redirecting the puppy nipping
🐾 Exposing them to children and everything that comes with it
🐾 Lead training
🐾 Treat training

We truly believe these puppies have had the best start in life and will continue to be amazing where they go, but for peace of mind, we are including some of our services in the package.

Puppies have been:
🐾 Dewormed (will continue to be)
🐾 1st vaccination and the 2nd booked
🐾 Microchiped

If you are ready for a new family pooch message us, we are happy to answer any questions you may have.

If you are not ready but know someone who may be, let them know! You wouldn't want them to miss out.

Otherwise, we just ask you if you could please share this post 🙏🏼🫶🏼🐾🐶

🐾Puppies had their 1st outing 🐾

We are trying to expose the little ones to different environments. They can't go on pavement walks yet, so Maarii's bike trailer came out and it was perfect to take them out in the crate!

Exposing them to noises that they will have to encounter on a daily basis will help them on a long run! 🐾

Puppies will be ready for their new homes from the 10th of February 🐶🐶🐶

Question
Would you pay extra to have a puppy that is calm and balanced?

02/02/2025

More info to follow, but a quick update. 8 weeks old and now booked in for first vacation on 4th Feb. Waiting wonderfully and now doing daytime sleeping in their own creates. Please pass this on for anyone looking for a great new addition to the pack or first dog! Either way, they will be great family pets!

1 day away from being 5 weeks old and what a journey it has been! There's way more mess than I imagined and noise but just as much cuteness and captivating behaviour as I thought it would.
Having a dog for me, helps my physical health but most importantly keeps me on top of my mental health.
It is mainly for this reason I am on this road to bring up 3 very special dogs that will help people that need a dog!
My wish is to keep the puppies as long as it's needed to find the right homes.
Although it's a wonderful experience to have a dog at a young age, the start of their life is critical for achieving the balance that is needed to cope with the job of helping us keep our balance.
If the right people come along then I may consider them but I'm looking for those that truly understand what it takes to guide these little souls into well rounded companions.

Day 2! I am honestly still recovering mentally but Dana has left her babies to do her business for the first time with only a little encouragement. Today I find myself truly grateful for our old boy (Jack) that helped Dana and me grow into who we are and every soul we've met along the way, be that human or dog each had its influence.
This journey is very special for me to be given the chance to help shape 3 beautiful new souls to be what the world and I need most. Balance and harmony with lots of love.
Thanks again for all the support 🙏

A bit of a change this weekend and we gave some of our time to help raise some money. Dana did fantastic and very surprised that we only got barked at a few times! We met so many awesome people and truly grateful to all that spared what they had.

This year I'm taking more time to do the things I love and enjoy. As we all should to help keep us balanced and with this stories strong message, I'm reminded how easily I can over look the simple things in life that others don't have the joy of doing or trying. Start the way we mean to go on and gratitude is a beautiful natural beginning.
