We did it; we've completed our joint New Year's Resolution (well, mainly, the stormy day was a hard pass on walkies). So, after 13 extra walks, my scruffy lumkin hasn't lost any weight—she's lost nada, nothing, not a single pound, ounce, or gram. In fact, she has gained 200 grams!⚖️

Does this surprise you? I often hear things like, "I'll have to take you on a few extra walks" after giving a dog a treat, or when guardians have been unwell and unable to walk their dogs as reasons for dogs putting on pounds. But is this simply "human" reasoning applied to dogs?🐕‍🦺

I had the pleasure of meeting Elyssa late last year to record a podcast in her series, "This Place Our Voices."

She assured me I didn't babble like a child, but I suspect she was just being polite! Well, here it is—it's dropped, and this is where you can find it.

Kick the January gloom to the curb!

Endless nights & drab skies got you down?

Feeling swamped by relentless weight loss ads?

Oh, and the gym pass you forgot about? It's silently renewed – as if on cue!

Let's not get sucked in to the usual health kick marketing blackhole, why not focus on your dog's health & fitness instead. Join me as I go on a health journey with my own dog in my blog Wag-Wagatha Christie Investigates, subscribe here https://forms.office.com/r/cBZCBDAc75

It's Ditch New Year's Resolution Day! I didn't know that was a thing. It might be the day when most resolutions falter as people lose interest. But I'm here to spur you on, especially with a joint resolution with your dog. You got this! You can do it; you're over January's hump. Keep going!

Day 11 and I'm happy to report I'm on track with my New Year's resolution to walk my dog daily (she does get walked daily, just not always by me!). So far this month, my dog has had 5 more walks, and I've increased my footsteps by 2,500 on these days. I'm trying different spots in town each day to keep it interesting. Can you guess where we've been?

Happy New Year!🥳Wishing you all a happy & healthy 2025!So, I have never been much of a New Year's resolution maker (or k...

Happy New Year!🥳

Wishing you all a happy & healthy 2025!

So, I have never been much of a New Year's resolution maker (or keeper!), but this year, I thought I'd take a different slant on it—it’s a joint resolution with my dog.🦮

January is Walk Your Pet Month —no, it doesn’t mean you can skip walking them the rest of the year. So I'm committing to walking my dog every day in January. It's a win-win. On days when my husband walks her, she gets an extra walk, and we both benefit from the extra exercise. 🐾

I'll keep you posted on our progress. Will you join me in this joint New Year's resolution? What could your joint New Year's resolution be? Comment below to let me know.⬇️

So last night, this happened. Still buzzing, what a night.

Having done my Level 3 Dog Grooming & Salon Management Diploma and my Level 5 Holistic Dog Grooming Behaviourist Diploma, both IPET Network qualifications, it would be an honour to be in for a chance for an iAward and champion dog-centric grooming , hint hint! https://www.ipetnetwork.co.uk/news-stories-ipet-network/iawards/

Tired of buying expensive enrichment toys that your dog is bored of after 30 seconds? Here is a cheap and easy enrichment idea that you can recreate over and over as required. Start off with loosely filled with treats so your dog does not get frustrated and lose interest if they can’t get them out, then pack the tighter and tighter each time to increase the challenge. For bigger dogs use kitchen towel inners. #nantwichdogowners #VAVAGROOMnantwich #enrichmenttoys

Who doesn’t love the post bath zoomies? I see you baby…

I've been so excited to do this for ages, and finally, I went ahead and had my dog's and my DNA tested! 🐶🔬 The results are in, and it's official. 🎉 Can you believe it?! 😄 True story, honest! #notatruestory #justabitoffun #woofstagram #DogLovers #dogownersofnantwich #Pawsome

This gorgeous dog came to me overwhelmed by grooming process elsewhere, with her last groom being ended before any cutting could even begin. 😮 At her first re-introduction to grooming session, she initially stayed close to her guardian, but soon found comfort with my work placement student. 🐾 Despite her initial hesitance, with patience and space, she eventually warmed up to me and allowed me to perform some TTouch, brush her and remove some mats from her ears. 💇‍♀️ The transformation in these pictures is remarkable - building trust and creating a positive grooming experience is essential for her. 🌟 Congratulations to this lovely lady on taking her first step towards cooperative grooming! 💖✂️ #petgrooming #trustbuilding #patienceiskey #dogsofFacebook #firststep #positiveexperience #cooperativegrooming #animalcare #pawlour #TTouch #dogsofUK #confidencebuilding #groomingjourney #UKpets #Britishdoglovers #professionalgrooming #trusttheprocess #rewardingexperience #dogspa #UKdogcare #heretohelp

At my meat and treat sessions, I go beyond just grooming your dog. I treat your dog as a whole, considering their past trauma and experiences. 💖🌈 🔍 Trauma can come in many forms, such as dog attacks, surgeries, or even negative grooming experiences. That's why I take the time to understand your dog's history and any triggers that may have left a lasting impact. 🐕💔 🚨 Not knowing about your dog's past trauma is like having an alarm set without knowing when it might go off. It's essential for me to have a complete picture, so I can ensure a safe and comfortable grooming experience for your dog. 📷✅ Meet this lovely dog who had a negative grooming encounter in the past. He was reactive when his back end was touched and refused to enter our pawlour for the first two sessions. 😢🚫 But fear not! 🌈💪 I've worked tirelessly to gain his trust and make grooming enjoyable for him. Gradually, we've progressed at his own pace and improvised innovative techniques. Now, he excitedly bounces out of the car boot every visit, eagerly greeting me! 🐾🎉 If your dog has had a negative association with grooming and needs that extra VA VA GROOM touch, we're here to help! Contact me for a meet and treat session today! 📞🐶💕 #HolisticGrooming #PositiveReinforcement #TrustBuilding #GentleGrooming #WorkingAtTheirPace #TailWaggingExcitement #FearNoMore #MeetAndTreat #CaringGroomers #TailoredGrooming #GroomingWithLove #UKGroomers #DogLovers #PetWellness #HealthyPaws #ProfessionalGrooming #TransformingGroomingExperiences #TailorMadeForDogs #ExtraCare #EnjoyableGrooming #GroomingSuccessStories #BeyondJustGrooming #VAVAGROOM
