Pack of Hounds

31/12/2024

WHAT. A. YEAR! 🥹🥂 Thank you to all my fabulous clients, friends, family and followers for making Pack of Hounds what it is today!

I’m enormously grateful of all the encouragement, recommendations, support when we announced we’d be expanding at the end of this year. It gave me the confidence I very much needed! I know whilst it will be the most challenging, it will be undoubtedly be the most rewarding venture for us yet!

We continue to work with the best pic-n-mix of dogs. From our largest guardian breeds, to the craziest scent hounds, the boldest terriers and the gentlest retrievers. All vastly different breeds, personalities, shapes, sizes, needs and temperaments. But I know one thing, they’re the best work colleagues you could ask for!

Immensely proud. Bring on 2025!!! 👊🏻🌟🥾🐾 🎆

HAPPY NEW YEAR x

Taking a moment to thank my loyalist compadre for his efforts this year! ♥️

Modelling behaviours to build confidence and encourage neutrality in our youngster’s, the stooge when starting our gentle social introductions for our newbies or more reactive souls. Riding shotgun in the van, and assisting with adventures even on the most miserable of days.

You might be built like a brick sh*thouse but behind that ever greying snuzz, I know you’re a big old baby at heart. Nobody looks at me with a mixture of absolute disgust and adoration, quite like you do pal. Thanks for getting me through another year 🥹♥️

It's almost that time again, eeek! 🎄❄️🛷

Our annual Christmas Pack Day to the blustery Fraisethorpe Beach, is on Friday the 20th of December!

For those that have been with us from the very beginning, will know this is always a very hearty and jubilant way to finish off the year for us!

Unlike our pack days - This really is available to dogs of all capabilities and ages. It's a steady walk up the beach, where the dogs can freely enjoy the space (more often, all to ourselves. As I'm reminded every year that there is nobody else quite as bonkers as us!) 🤪🥶

If anyone would like their dogs to come along, please do drop me a message! I have a couple of names together for those that have already messaged to be first picked on the list to go this year. So spaces are already very limited! 🎄🎅🏻

Lots of reports of blue green algae after the spell of dry weather recently! Pugneys, Skelton Lake etc.

If the water is non -flowing, stagnant or even slow moving, please be very cautious!

Are you aware of blue-green algae?
What you need to know:
⚠️Blue-green algae are tiny bacteria found in
still, nutrient-rich water.
⚠️They produce toxins harmful to dogs; about
half of exposed dogs die.
⚠️Most poisonings occur from drinking or
swimming in freshwater lakes and ponds.
Symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, muscle
tremors, and seizures can appear within an
hour.
⚠️Prevent poisoning by avoiding risky areas,
checking algae warnings, and rinsing dogs after
swimming.
