Sometimes life gets in the way of Instagram posts, right?

We have had such a busy few weeks. Holidays. Studying. Deadlines. Life.

Here’s me and the OG Buster on our recent trip to the Lakes.

Happy Birthday little man 🎈

Here are 3 great reasons why you should start training with your dog!

1️⃣ It builds your bond and strengthens your relationship. You’re working as a team!

2️⃣ Training is a good way to keep their mind active & engaged, helping to improve their overall well-being.

3️⃣ It’s FUN for you AND your dog. Enough said.

It was hard to pick 3. There are so many more benefits for you and your dog. Happy training! 🖤

We all need to do the best we can for our dogs.

A starting point for their safety is here. We can’t control certain things that happen, however we can control some aspects that will help.

1️⃣ Whatever equipment you use to walk your dog (collar / harness / leads), make sure it fits properly, and is still in working order. Take a minute to check the buckles / straps / clips.

2️⃣ It is the law in England to have an ID tag on your dogs collar / harness. But more importantly in my opinion, you want to have your details on it so that you can be reached if needed.

3️⃣ If you let your dog off leash, and even if you don’t, GPS trackers are a great tool. I’m going to do another post on this but the one I use is AMAZING and called Tractive.

4️⃣ Reflective clothing, jackets, lights or light up collars are so useful for walking in the dark, obviously helping your dog to be seen.

5️⃣ Do your best to concentrate on your dog and the surroundings during walks. We are all guilty of checking our phones and getting distracted, but make a conscious effort to stay focused.

This one time, on a fresh Autumn morning…

We walked for about 2 miles carrying 2 pumpkins. Never again. Cool pics though.

If fireworks & your dog isn’t a good mix (highly likely), have a read of this by Haigh Hounds

Dog parents: As promised here are more questions YOU should be asking…

Let's delve a little deeper...
Q1. Service agreements and contracts. Are they worth the paper they are written on? Yes, they can help to avoid any misunderstandings. They set clear expectations between both parties, and outline the key details including services, schedules, fee's, cancellation policies and liability (liability is ALWAYS something that people try to avoid- check insurance).

Q2. If your dog gets injured on a walk- what will they do? Where will they take them? How will they get them there? Do they have transport?

Q3. If you have asked for solo walks, then it should just be your dog. Many people like group walks. But where are they going and how many dogs will be walked at one time? Will they spend 2 hours in a van travelling?

Q4. Reviews are great, and most are actually correct. However can you speak with a current client about what they think? This shouldn't be an issue at all, if all parties agree.

Q5. Your dog's safety is the NUMBER 1 priority. Asking this will give you an insight into their awareness of potential hazards during walks such as other dogs, traffic, people or areas that they walk.

Always ask questions. You need that peace of mind.
