This was my go to when I lived round the corner and my saviour through lockdown. A nice walk through Latton Woods and across Latton Common where you'll find a few four legged friends grazing.

It can be overgrown in parts, so avoid shorts and can get muddy in winter, but a welcome area of nature if you live near by. Free parking at the start.

Bear is well chuffed with his first photoshoot with 📸 We both had such a fab time and the photos make my heart melt ❤️🥰🐻

It’s unlocked his inner diva though, I’ve told him I will not fluff his pillow every night and he can drink tap water like the rest of us 🙄

This is not one of our usual dog walks, but more of an environment to practice recall training. Great starter area for young pups when you need low distractions and an open space (so you can easily spot them). Free parking at the start.

We are urgently looking for more Puppy Raisers all over the country! 👉 bit.ly/3PgRTOc

“It’s nice to be part of a community, and I enjoy taking Unity to puppy class. People often approach us when we are out walking and ask me what puppy raising entails. I tell them you get all the joy of having a dog and none of the stress or the bills. All you've got to give is your time.”

Great one for a hot day (not so much in the rain when I did it). Lots of lovely lakes and rivers. You can pit stop at Willows Farm for a coffee (or have the kids) or the pub near the end of the route. Free parking.

SPECIAL OFFER: I’ve been monitoring the price of this for a while as I need a new one. It usually hovers around £14/15, now and then it goes down to £11, but today it’s £8.79!

Thought I’d share if you’re looking for a good grooming brush, this one is brilliant.

Start with the pins, then use the brush side. Especially in the heat, giving them a groom will help dissipate heat 👌🏻

Brilliant dual grooming brush from Furminator. Keeps your dog looking their best (and less hair in your house : )

One of the most scenic walks in the county. As the name suggests, it is very hilly, but it is worth the climbs for some stunning views.

If you're looking for a peaceful stroll through the countryside, try this walk. I think I passed one person the whole way round.

Paid parking at the start and refreshment in The Foresters Arms on route or The Kings Head near the finish. If you haven't burned off enough afterwards there's an open air gym too!

Every parent with young kids and a dog should own this book. If children were taught how to read dogs body language better, it would reduce any ‘incidents’ and help to increase their bond, trust and understanding of each other 🤗

The fabulous illustrations are a really easy and engaging way to help kids learn how dogs ‘talk’ with their body. Please do buy/share to any parent/grandparent you know 🙏🏻 Knowledge is power ❤️🐶 x

Such a great, visual book. Especially to help teach children how to read and understand their dogs body language. A must for any parent:

Thank you for my first riding lesson 🫶🏼 and thank you Ellie for putting up with my lardy arse ❤️🐴 I have so many happy memories horse riding with Dad when I was growing up, he would have been so pleased to see me back riding again. It’s definitely not like riding a bike, I’ve totally forgotten 🤪

Harnesses teach dogs to pull? 🤔

Best Deshedding Tool For Dogs (link in comments)

LOOSE LEAD WALKING: Think about where you want your dog to be walking beside you. How & Where you deliver food can make a BIG difference. Avoid luring or hovering hands ☺️ Try to deliver food in the position you want your dog. Create a hot spot at your side, teaching your dog ‘this is where good things happen, stick around here’.This will help minimise them pulling out in front or across you for goodies 🐶

Ever struggled clipping the lead back on? Try this simple tip:

Keeping your dog engaged off lead will help increase bond and minimise running off ☺️🐾

Who would your vote go to? 😁

Never Feed, Before Freed: It can devalue food if using as a reinforcer for recall AND has major health implications 😬
