🌿🐾 The Calm Before The Storm 🌿🐾
A lovely calm morning, as always with these guys! Then an emergency meant we had to cancel this afternoons walks with very little notice - thank you so much to my clients for being understanding and an even bigger thank you to Jaydee at @outnabout_dogwalking for taking care of Watson & Purdey for us.
For reasons like this it is important to have connections with a back up walker in case your regular dog walker can’t make it!
Thank you everybody - services as normal tomorrow 🐾

🌿🐾 Update! 🌿🐾
🌿🐾 UPDATE 🌿🐾
The car made it!! We are going to France 😍😍
So many of you have been messaging me over the weekend about the car and I honestly can’t thank you enough for your kind words, offers of borrowing vehicles, camping equipment or alternative holidays.
The mechanics have been working on our car all weekend until the early hours of each morning, it was a huge job and we got the car back late this afternoon 😫😫 they eased our stress and can you believe they even took for car for a wash for us ❤️ Absolutely worth their weight in gold.
Wish us Bon Voyage! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
(This also means I am now officially out of office until Tuesday 16th July - see you all then! 🐾🐾🐾)

🌿🐾 Lead Use 🌿🐾
We believe that having dogs off lead is a privilege (for the dogs!). It’s a privilege they earn once they have shown they can be trusted off their lead in different environments.
The majority of our group members have the privilege of running around off lead because they have shown me they can be trusted. That doesn’t mean it’s a given that they are off lead all of the time, I check in with the gang on each and every walk to check recall and engagement.
Some people view lead walking as “not a proper walk” “not burnt as much energy” etc… but look here, Maple lost her privilege of being off lead for a short while today as she picked up a super scent (of lord knows what!). Had I kept her off her lead, it could have quickly escalated into Maple being too far away for me to control her in a public space (which is a legal requirement ✅).
So for safety I popped her lead on for a while, and once she forgot about the scent and we had moved further away, I checked engagement over and over and she was back to usual obedient Maple. Look at her walk though, not boring, not under-stimulating - instead it’s quite the opposite.
Leads are one of the most useful tools we could possibly use, it’s the difference between a walk being safe or a walk being unsafe. The difference between keeping your dog safe or not keeping them safe.
I am always grateful to my clients for trusting my judgement on walks and always understanding why a particular dog might be on a lead on pictures and videos 🌿🐾
