Hi all, a good friend of mine has just added their Stratford 2 bed apt to AirBnB. It’s lush if you ever need a London pad.
Please share far and wide too 😍🤩

Highly recommend giving this a go, especially if your dog loves / needs a job. I loved the few sessions Stanley and I did but sadly time got the better of us. Hope to return one day!
Give it a go 🤩

A chilly icy walk this morning! Forgot to take pics on my first walk 🙈
These ice grips were a game change and meant I stayed upright which let’s face it, is unusual for me 😂😍🐶

Red heat forecasts now for next week 🥵🥵 I will be offering pop ins Monday / Tuesday and will review the forecast for the rest of the week with regards to walkies.
Remember no dog ever died from missing a walk, it’s just not worth the risk. Please keep your lovely pooches, inside, under shade, LOTS of access to water and calm. Use engagement games to tire them out instead, heatstroke kills… and fast!

🥵🌞😎Hot weather planning 🥵🌞😎
Hello all,
We are now fast approaching the summer months and this week temperatures are forecast to reach 30 degrees by the end of the week. Therefore, I would like to make you all aware of my extreme weather policy, on walking your lovely dogs in the heat.
Water is available at all times, it’s carried with me as well fresh bowls of water in every crate.
If Temperatures exceed 23 degrees all dogs will be walked in shaded and grassed areas only, and where possible in woodland to keep them cool.
These walks may also mean that dogs remain on lead in order to prevent over exertion in the heat.
For super hot days that exceed 25 degrees and above, I may potentially need to cancel walks however will of course replace them with home visits for toilet breaks and enrichment activities in your garden if you’re happy for me to do so.
Please note, I may need to alter times to early / later in the day in order to walk all my clients dogs before temperatures spike in the hottest part of the day.
Please chat to me with any concerns and I’ll of course keep you posted on the day too with my plans.
Many thanks,
Jo 🐶
