Chucked some p**p bag dispensers up around Haydock! Honestly fed up of avoiding dog mess everywhere I go so if you ever run out of bags on a dog walk feel free to take one!

Placing some p**p bag stations around Haydock this week. Fingers crossed this solves some of the fouling in the village!

If you come across an empty one feel free to message the page, I’ll come refill it when I’m able!

Super excited to welcome my new rescue collie!

The rescue org said she was a bit slow and fat for a collie, and also a little bit aggressive BUT I’m sure with a lot of love and affection she will fit right in at Skybound HQ. Woodbine is just thrilled to have a new sister!

Honestly he is, I promise.

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

I am actually a very happy dog mum, because Woodbine has the all-clear from the vet to get back to training! It’s been a long 10 days 😱

What’s everyone up to today? 🐶🐾

If I got a new puppy tomorrow I would do everything so differently!
Experienced owners: put your best tip below.
New owners: read through and pick up some great advice from people who have been there, done that!

I'll start: make sure you get used to handling your puppy's feet, ears, and mouth; starting from the very first day they come home! You will save your dog so much stress and anxiety if they ever need medical treatment in those places in the future.

Conservation detection dogs are fabulous tools that conservationists can use to monitor the health of ecosystems.

Riker turned his paw to Trail Hunt this afternoon! Conditions were perfect and he used his natural shepherd talent to absolutely smash the exercises. He will be one to watch for sure! 🧡
