Many thanks to Pam for this lovely review. Angus & Bruce have super temperaments and the most lovely personalities - a credit to their breeder.

Ticks! Watch out for them. Get yourself a tick remover tool on standby

⚠️ Tick season is here – time to check your dog. Ticks love to hide in warm, hard-to-spot places. After every walk, give your dog a once-over, and pay extra attention to their ears, armpits, and between their toes.

Or keep pests at bay without the hassle with Pet Health Club. Our members enjoy year-round flea, worm, and tick treatment, so join today.

Pain in dogs. It's more common than you think and yes, they may still run around as normal.

I've been working with the lovely Braco, a young adolescent Lab. When you work with dogs from a working line, this is a different level of energetic. To address any issues, you often have to look at the big picture first. Are the dogs physical, mental & dietary needs all being met? These dogs require a lot of physical stimulation but the mental & breed specific stimulation is equally as important if you want to keep them happy.

Fun at Juniors with Bonnie, Callie & Summer

I am doing some 1 to 1 sessions with this little pocket rocket, Bonnie 😍🥰
On 1 to 1 sessions you can have a more tailored experience, as opposed to set exercises in a group class.

Take care 👀

Keep an eye out for adders this spring 👀🌷

Spring marks the end of hibernation for adders, Scotland's only native and venomous reptile.

They are typically not aggressive and only found in certain areas of Scotland but this is the time of year that they are most active and likely to bite people and pets.

⚠️ You must seek veterinary attention immediately if your pet has been bitten by an adder.

If you don't have a social dog....it is OK❗🙂
I know those that truly do have a social dog may grapple with that and may not realise that the majority of dogs can be incredibly choosy with who they wish to interact with.
Socialisation also morphs and it can change.
It isn't static for many dogs.
As they age it can also change significantly.
Whether your dog is a social butterfly, only likes dogs that are a similar shape or breed to them (fairly common), or just prefers humans, that is who they are.
Does it mean we shouldn't explore it a little more?
We should look at it a bit more in-depth , especially if we have a reactive dog.

Please, please 🙏 think very carefully about the breed of dog you want before getting it. This is one (of many) Spaniel rescue organisations. Look at the statistics. I'm sure the cost of living crisis has a small part to play on why people are giving up their dogs but the main reasons is that they go for the "look" of the dog without considering that breed's specific needs. Spaniels are high energy, clever dogs with a high working drive. 3 walks per day is nowhere enough to meet this breed's needs. One block of puppy classes does not make a well trained dog, it takes many months and even years. When you commit to getting a dog, you should factor in the next 15 years to weigh up what may happen in this time eg children, mobility issues, etc and decide whether getting such a breed is right for you and whether you will still be able to meet its needs.

Every dog that comes through the Spaniel Aid doors goes into a foster home. We do this so we can assess the dog in a home environment and get the best picture of who they are and what they will need from their forever home. Our fosterers play a crucial part in the Spaniel Aid process, without them w...
