To all clients. Please be aware that the Great Yorkshire show will be on next week (11th -14th July).

We are predicting heavy traffic around that area and have found the following information about road closures:

Wetherby Road (A661) will be one way from the Kestral Roundabout to the junction with Rudding Lane towards the Showground from 6.30am on Show days.

The one way system has been extended which will be in bound on A658 between the Knaresborough Thistle Hill junction to the Kestrel roundabout for the morning period only.

This will be reversed at 2pm between Rudding Lane and The Kestrel Roundabout to accommodate traffic leaving Harrogate. This will remain in force until 8pm and the restrictions may be removed earlier depending on the volume of traffic.

I’ve tried to show this on the map.

If you are going to be affected by the traffic/closures and don’t think you will make it to us next week please let us know with as much notice as you can. Please let us know via email or by giving us a call and leaving a message. 😊

Thank you!!

Puppy Swimming with Black Dog

Some people mistakenly believe all dogs are natural swimmers. But while most dogs instinctively do a version of the dog paddle if they find themselves in water, that doesn’t mean they can swim – or even stay afloat.

Not every dog paddle is effective at keeping the animal afloat, and many dogs have no idea how to move toward shore or the side of the pool.

Black dog has created a session for puppies under 12 months of age, that we feel will give the best results by giving your puppy the confidence they need in and around the water

Getting your dog used to the water at an early age should be a slow, gradual process and it is important that we take the time to make them comfortable and under no stress that could put them off the enjoyment of water for life. If your dog takes immediately to it, brilliant, but most dogs require at least a little coaxing and reassurance before they get comfortable and become good swimmers.
