Let's share some of the fun and post some pictures of your adventures below
Here's one of mine π₯°
You've probably noticed it's got HOTπ₯΅
This year more than any we've noticed the dogs haven't been able to adapt as well due to the weather being more bipolar than normal!
Make sure you:
Check the temperature,
Walk earlier and later if possible,
Bring LOTS of water on walks
As always, "a dog never died from missing a walk but many have died from heat stroke"
Just a reminder..
Next week is my last week of walks before I'm off until the 2nd September!!
Also I am fully booked for Sits for the rest of the year!! I will start taking bookings again for 2025 in September!!
Thank you guys for being patient and supportive β€οΈ
Remember to keep an eye out for when I post an update on my new working hours etc before I come back!!
So proud of these 2 π₯³ having the best kind of owners out there who have been working with their pups to help them enjoy other people's and dogs' company!! Keep up the good work Grace and Dotty π₯°
IMPORTANT
I have made the difficult decision to take some time off so I can focus on my health. This will be from the 1st of July to the 2nd of September (if you're booked for a sit don't worry I'm still doing these) but this means I won't be walking, booking more sits or training during this time.
I'm going to take the time to change how I work but this will be explained when I come back and have figured it out.
Hopefully this won't affect too many of you as it will be the summer holidays and I do apologise for any inconvenience.
Oh to be a puppy π₯°
There's still time to book on!!
Open to all ages and all abilities!!
We will work towards skills that will make your everyday with your dog more fulfilling and enjoyable for both!!
Dotty said no thanks to the weather today π₯°πΆβπ«οΈ
There's a few spaces left!!
Get in quick!! πΆ
Book through messenger or text 07966223610 (please don't call as Im often in poor signal areas)
Spaces are filling up QUICK!!π±
a few things just to clarify for anyone on the fence...
This will be student run to an extent, much like all of my work, so we will work towards the things you guys ask for and some fun added extras along the way, such as scent training, agility, basic first aid and more!!
Classes are booked as a monthly block and the price is per dog per class.
Hope this helps π
And so it begins!! π₯³
Introducing my new Training Classes

ONLINE TRAINING SESSIONS
If you're thinking of trying training sessions but don't want to commit, try an online session!! At Β£20 you can get valuable information that can send you and your pooch in the right direction!!π₯³
Perfect for those dogs that don't like groups or strangers!!
Please message me to book your 1hr session πΆ
ONLINE TRAINING SESSIONS
Starting the 21st Wednesdays at 4, 5 and 6pm
Run via Zoom
Β£20
Just want to say THANK YOU to all you guys who do some of my advertising on my behalf sharing and tagging me way before I get to a post π₯°
I'm very grateful to have friends, family and clients who big me up πβ€οΈ
Hello Herb's Army
Soon we will have some lovely new ads just to make me look more professional (I know! gonna be swiss π±) all courtesy of my beloved friend β€οΈ
So this means I will be opening up my online sessions starting the 21st with the set subjects of:
Enrichment
Nutrition
Training Starter Games
Routine
These will be held in the evenings on a Wednesday with 3 sessions available at:
-4pm
-5pm
-6pm
If you're interested please get in touch and tell me which subjects you would like to discuss and I can give all the details.
PLEASE COMMENT
I still would like to hear from you guys about what you want to see from me in these sessions!!
Please leave a comment and let me know!!
**PLEASE READ AND COMMENT**
I'm looking to see what you guys would like to see and get out of training sessions??
Once I get back into the swing of things, I will be introducing sessions alongside my walks!! But I want to know what people want to get from these??
I wish to start with online sessions via zoom/teams where I can offer valuable advice and support for new and old dog owners alike, this will allow people to start on their training journey before committing to the nitty gritty in person bits!!
Also thinking of setting up a new dog owner bundle which could be a great gift idea!!
Please comment below with your thoughts on all of this and what you want to see π (plus enjoy some kisses from Millie moo π₯°)
With the new year coming I will be back to walking soon, I'm aware schools are back around the 8th, however I will be available if needed from the 3rd π
Have a Brilliant New Year and I'll see you all soon π
Merry Christmas Everyone hope you all have a lovely day sending hugs to all the pooches and kitties from me π₯°ππ
Just a reminder to everyone that I will not be doing my walks from the 6th December until the new year
(Please DM if you have questions)
So you've all been waiting to see what my new venture is.... (Drum roll π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯)
TRAINING SESSIONS
And (hopefully)
DOG MASSAGE
I will be working towards my certifications over the coming months (don't worry I'm not going anywhere) but it means I will be offering these new types of 1:1 sessions so keep your eyes peeled if you're interested π₯³
Get you a girl who can do both ππ₯°
Remember to prepare for fireworks with your furry friends π (silent video don't worry π₯°)
I've found lots of ways to help calm your pooches such as games at dinner time (towel knots, puzzle feeds and lick mats) along with a good old film (on the loud side)!! James found that star wars battles seem to cover fireworks very well π€£
Don't smother your animals as this can stress them more, make a small den nice and dark and cozy with familiar smells so they can hide!! Long walks just before it gets dark and play can calm them down in preparation!!
Good luck and π€ it's not too bad this year π₯°ππ
So before I ask, most of you know I'm a little bit broken in the legs π so sometimes I'm not 100%
SO ASIDE FROM THAT (which I can't help sorry)
Is there anything you guys think I can improve on? Literally anything!? Or if you fancy telling people your thoughts please do (it's helps my reputation ππ)
Don't hold back I'm trying to learn x
WOW!!
What a day we had yesterday at the 4th Halling dog show!! These pictures just say it all!!
GO ON HERB'S ARMY π₯³π€―
Many thanks to Lindsey Andrews and Chris who lent their pups to me β€οΈ

Who's ready for the Annual Dog Show!! π₯³ Those of you joining me this year (27th aug) make sure your pooches are all glammed up ready for their runway πΆ I will be providing some of the fancy dress costumes as it will be my treat π for all other classes please remember it's Β£2 each pup for each class so please provide enough for each class you pick π May the Herb's army win some rosettes π₯³π₯°
Thought I'd do a tutorial for anyone found in a sticky situation π lemme know your thoughts!! I'm using a halti multi purpose lead, you can use a sparks lead or that bully breed brand (can't remember it's name) that all have similar leads!! Hope it helps π
I want everyone to give a big warm welcome to our new friend joining us today!! This is little Millie she's a rescue pup with a big heart!! Unfortunately Millie doesn't know where to put all that love yet so if you find her be gentle and kind so we can build this special lady's confidence π₯°π
Always helpful having a spare pair of hands when it comes to play time π₯° Vader and Luna getting individual tasks suited to their needs for the day!! Vader being young gets the run of the garden to zoom to her hearts content and Luna gets tested with her sniffer to exercise her noggin!!
This is the kinda happy I aim to get in all of my pals!!π₯° And I am still open for new friends to join in! π Monday to Friday - 10 till 3 - Hour slots (subject to availability) individual walks tailored to each dog's needs!! Please message me here or text at 07966223610 (don't ring I won't be able to answer and keep up with requests)
I've had a few requests now for ideas on toys and activities for energetic dogs!! So I was hoping you could help!! Please comment below with any ideas that have worked for you and your dogs or any ideas for a Feisty Feline.
