So excited to share that my beautiful Raven WON the Treateria at Bakewell at the weekend and has yet again qualified for the Agility 4 All Grand Finals 🥰💜

This was the only agility run we did at Bakewell and she absolutely smashed it, so proud of my gorgeous girl x

I frequently see dogs travelling on people's laps whilst they're driving 😳 absolutely shocking.

Dogs should always be restrained whilst in a vehicle both for their own safety and so they don't distract the driver.

I'm back to work today after 10 days off – 9 of them were spent doing agility! 🐾

✔️ 4 days competing
✔️ 3 days helping on the rings with NFC (not for competition) runs for Storm
✔️ 2 amazing days training Storm at Ogilvie Dogs with Ola Kordas & Lila
✔️ Half a day dog walking & travelling

🚗 Over 800 miles driven… so I think I’m going back to work for a rest! 😅

It’s been an intense but incredibly rewarding time, and I’m grateful for the experiences and learning along the way. Now it’s time to return to work (for a little rest!)

I’ve got a number of messages to catch up on – thank you for your patience, I’ll aim to reply over the next couple of days. 💬

One of my favorite things is seeing my dogs just switch off and relax, even in exciting places. 🐾💜

Camping with dogs isn’t just about adventure—it’s also about teaching them the value of settling.

One of the most important life skills for dogs is learning how to relax, no matter where they are. Whether at home, a busy café, or a campsite full of exciting smells and sounds, being able to switch off and just chill keeps them calm, safe, and makes life together so much easier.

We’re at an agility competition this weekend, and between all the running, cheering, and busy energy, the dogs are perfectly content to curl up on their camping beds and chill.

For me, this is just as important as the agility runs—knowing they can settle, feel safe, and rest no matter what’s going on around them. Proud of my little crew for being able to find their calm in the chaos. ✨

Here are my three proving the point—each happy, relaxed, and stretched out on their camping beds. 💜

✨ Agility update! ✨

Last weekend Storm and I took part in an agility competition — and I couldn’t be prouder of how my little working cocker spaniel handled it! 🐾

She may still be young, but watching the focus, enthusiasm, and sheer joy out on the course was such a treat. We’ve got lots to learn together, but the journey is half the fun. ❤️

Sharing a few of my favorite moments from the weekend 📸🐕

In the bustling heart of Britain’s container yards—where thousands of goods move in and out each day—only the sharpest noses can cut through the sea of scents. The Bronze UK Sniffer Dog Trail was born from this challenge: to put dog-and-handler teams to the test in one of the most demanding scent detection environments imaginable.

Inspired by the working dogs that protect ports, airports, and cities every day, the Bronze Trail marks the first level of achievement in the UK Sniffer Dog program. Teams are tasked with searching among stacked shipping containers, weaving through towering metal corridors, and overcoming distractions to pinpoint hidden target scents.

The event isn’t just about skill—it’s about trust, teamwork, and the unbreakable bond between dog and handler. Each trail is designed to mirror the real-world conditions professional detection dogs face, offering both newcomers and seasoned teams a chance to prove themselves in an authentic working environment.

Success at Bronze level lays the foundation for future challenges, as handlers and their dogs progress through the Silver and Gold Trails, each step bringing them closer to mastery.

On 4rd October, the container yard becomes the arena. Only the keenest noses and sharpest partnerships will rise to the challenge.

Fantastic day spent at Lincoln Agility Enthusiasts show in Epworth today.

HUGE congratulations to Claire Andrew and Looby-Lou on their first jumping win today towards G4 as well as an unplaced clear agility run too. Your hard work and determination is paying off 🤗

Also proud of my very own Raven getting an agility win today towards G5. Just one more agility win needed so no pressure 🤣

Hello, it’s me — Bracken 🐾💛

I’m 14 now (ancient and wise, thank you very much). I celebrated with a pink princess cake 🎂👑 because obviously, I am the princess around here.

I might be a bit lumpy and creaky, but I still love my walks. Well… “walks” might be a strong word. It’s more of a royal procession of sniffs. Humans rush about like their tails are on fire — but I know the real news is in the hedges, lamp posts, and that very important tuft of grass 🌱.

Sometimes I decide we’ll just sit and watch the world go by. People say it’s nice I’m allowed to go at my own pace — of course it is, I’m in charge! 👑🐶

One sniff at a time, friends. That’s the good life. 💕

Please share

A member of the public has brought this dog in to us after being hit by a vehicle in Lincoln/Newark potentially on Tolney Lane. He’s believed to have two broken legs.

He’s an entire Jack Russel, no collar or microchip.

One of the things I love most about my job is being outside all day—it’s like having a front row seat to nature’s show. 🌿 Every day brings something new and unexpected. Yesterday, I was lucky enough to cross paths with a beautiful deer, quietly moving across the field. Moments like that make me stop, smile, and feel grateful for the work I do. 🦌💜
