❄️☁️ The chilly days 🌨️🌦️ My favourite days… crispy, fresh air, with new smells and blue skys! Certainly a feeling that all the dogs haven’t experienced for a while. #outdoorsfun #winterdays #funwiththedogs
🤦🏼♀️Pee-mails!🐕🦺
This is what Mondays about!! Catching up with Pee-mails, Face-floofs, What-💩’s!!
What else could be better with fallen leaves as a natural snuffle mat and being able to sniff all they like.
Sniffing and licking is the best “calmative” that your dog can have. It heights the calm and happy hormones in their bodies… endorphins, oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine.
I promise that these dogs will be more exhausted than running around after each other.
Let your dog SNIFF!!

🌾 Park Life! 🌳
Iv got to giggle at these two!
Recalls, middles, catching… anything for a snack or two!
One thing that was for sure, was they weren’t going to stray to far before checking in!
🤩 Fun + Positive Reinforcement = Happy Dogs and Walker!!

☔️ Rain 🌧️
The ground is wet encouraging smells to rise. Loads of sniffing and berry munching happening this morning.

🙌🏻Congratulations🙌🏻
This is to all of the guardians and dog walkers that have been super advocates for their dogs in this hot weather!
🏃🏼♂️To exercise your companion’s you have been up and out early or late in the evening, not thrown or launched balls for them to chase, not walked at all and have given your dog a different type of exercise instead! 👏🏻👏🏻
Happy pooches 🐶☀️

🌧️ If you wet… get wetter! 🌧️
On a group walk and who do we see? Another member of the crew racing towards us with her guardian!
The best thing to do was drop their leads and let them meet. 👋🏻
🫶🏻 Such good friends play nicely together, loving the puddles and freedom! ❤️

📚🐾 Enrichment!🐕📚
📚Definition of Enrichment - the action of improving or enhancing the quality or value of something.🤔
I am a big believer in enrichment to help our dog’s mind, body and soul! It’s a big part of my dogs life to help their anxieties and levels of reactivity. 🧠
They love to find food, lick mats, puzzles, rolled up towels and food etc… But remember there’s the outdoors too!! 🪵🌲🍂 They can sniff, lick, feel textures, see different images!
🚶🏽♂️It’s a big part of my dog walking! I think about what the dogs are gaining from their walks… What do they need??
Do they need to be let off so the can have their own little adventure? 🗺️
Or
Do I leave them on lead for them to concentrate on certain areas, like a hedge row, long grass, a park bench, or a cluster of trees! 🌳
Do I scatter food in areas for them to search and find??
You won’t see me with a frisbee, a ball thrower, or even a ball in my hand when I’m out with the dogs! I want to bring their energy levels down, work their brains and have a dog that benefits from the world! Theres lots of enrichment out there… use it! 👈🏻👏🏻
