🌱 Be a Bit of a Womble With Me! 🐾

Ever since I was little, I’ve loved looking after nature. My mum even calls me a Womble — always tidying up, recycling, collecting bits off the beach, and giving things a second life. And honestly, I’m proud of that!

That’s why, here in the shop, you’ll notice some of our treats and seeds come in resealable bags. They’re handy, reusable, and just one of the little eco-friendly touches I’d like to share with you.

✨ Here’s how it works:
• Take a bag home and fill it with your goodies.
• Next time you’re in, bring it back.
• Refill it and you’ll get 10p off your next purchase.

There’s no pressure, of course — if you’d rather keep your bag at home for something else, that’s absolutely fine too. As long as it’s useful and not wasted, that’s a win for everyone.

It’s only a small thing, but as a well-known supermarket says, “Every little helps.” Together, all those little things add up to something much bigger.

So if you’d like to join me in being just a tiny bit Womble, grab a bag, refill when you can, and know you’re doing something good for your pets, your pocket, and the planet. 💚

Between the rain we had some fun,
a chance play,
a chance to run.

A pre-rain Monday offering a chance for Oakley and Pep to run over the hills and far away (don't worry they did come back).

Once again harnesses and which to use raised its head in puppy group.

It’s a hard one to approach because lots of YouTube stuff will tell not to use a harness. That they make your dog pull.

Truth be told how many are using collar and lead and getting dragged down the road?? How’s that working out for ya??? Pants for some I’m sure.

Truth is any tool for training can be misused or overly relied on. For my mind, if I use a harness and it stops my dog hurting me or themselves while train I’m ok with that. I can walk you out on the harness, then walk you home clipped to the collar when energy levels are lower. So it’s easier for both of us to work together.

Set yourself up to win with training. Make your life easier.

I use Mikki Walk Rites or the Perfect Fit harnesses. I avoid like the plague slip leads, choke chains and Julius K9 harnesses. Air supply is not an option for any dog. Hence my loathing of choke/check chains. I keep slip leads to capture a stray dog. I don’t work with them at all. Again, air supply is any mammal is not an option!!! Thinking a dog won’t pull due to pain is illogical as well. Most pull away from the source of pain. That being YOU!!

Still reading??? Well done you. Have a biscuit as reward. You’ve earned it!!

I prefer harnesses that allow for shoulders to move as intended. Let’s not make my lovely canine physique friends anymore money. Lovely as they are!! 🤭🤭.

Harnesses will NOT train your dog. They will prevent a bad behaviour reoccurring daily and becoming ingrained. You WILL still have to put that in.

Is there anything better though, than walking with a well trained dog next you looking the bee’s knees??? 😉🐝🐾🐾
