“And the Oscar for the most dramatic performance goes too…” 🎭🎥
Always out here practicing safe, well socialised and productive walks! 🫶🏻💕
Always make sure these guys are able to distinguish between when to exhibit calm, neutral behaviour and when it’s clear and safe to zoooooomie! 💨 Any professional and reputable dog walker will know how I important this is ✅
Positive socialisation is NOT letting dogs run riot for the entire 60 minutes, terrorising eachother and running a muck on farmers land 👨🌾🚜🌽
Instead, we do our best to inspire respectful behaviour on our packs - being able to disengage during play allows me to assess potential hazards and distractions, encourage stress reduction, enhancing bonds and generally improving overall training. This will always be my main advocacy when group walking!
We want to return dogs home happy, fulfilled and content NOT exhausted, tense and overstimulated ✔️🫶🏻
As a special treat last Friday we headed down to RSPCA Leeds & Wakefield Branch - to their off lead area with one of our newbies, Ronnie! We worked on some placement stays, a spot of agility… and well, silly shenanigans of course 😂
Ronnie here is actually a rescue from this very same place! So it was super wholesome to head back their with him. He really is the happiest bloody soul and I could tell he was trying so damn hard to please (pretty sure he was telling me to stop laughing at him though 🤭😂)
GREAT place if you want a space to yourself to focus on some one to one with your dog. We’ll definitely be heading there again! ⭐️
Just out here creating core memories with these little crumpets, every damn day 🫶🏻🥰♥️🥹
Down at the woods near the RSPCA today. As it’s one of our popular walks, it does mean we often know to expect some of the lovely rescues out for their daily walk to stretch their legs with the volunteers!
We noticed one of the dogs was a little reluctant coming towards us today. These guys know the drill whenever we see anyone else… we moved up onto the banking and stayed beautifully quiet and calm (not even a twitch!) so she could move along past us in peace 🥰
I have always created this kind of distance to advocate for the pack and other peoples dogs. (I promise it isn’t because I’m anti social 🙃). There’s nothing better than dogs just safely co-existing in the environment together… without the added hassle of forced unnecessary interactions with other strangers dogs.
These guys are genuinely something else and received some lovely comments out on our walk today. They deserved every bit of praise! Super proud Dog Walker moment ♥️🥹
