It's so nice to feel appreciated for just doing what I love doing ❤️

Thank you to Monty's human family for my flowers. I love them ❤️

Gutted I won't be seeing him until September 😔

See you in a few weeks Monty 🩵🐾🐾🩵

A few days a go, I was asked if I could join someone with a calm dog to help them build confidence in their dog..

Unfortunately, the dogs I walk or work with are reactive one way or another, so unfortunately I'm unable to help them on their journey 😔

HOWEVER: Is there anyone who has a calm (not phased by anything) dog, who would like to meet up with this lady and their dog for a buddy walk and socialisation for the both dogs?

I have not done a meet and greet so unable to give my opinion and what type of dog would be more suited.... This would need to be a conversation between you and them....

If you think you can help them on their journey, please pop a comment on this post and Lucie Allison will get in touch 🐾🐾❤️

They live in/around the NP18 area.

If you could kindly share this post, too, that would be amazing ❤️

Thank you in advance everyone 🐾🐾🙂

OMG - I got the absolute pleasure of walking this Handsome boy today!?

Everyone..... Meet Monty. He is a 3 year old, Old English Sheepdog (Dulux advert dog 👏🏼)

I get to walk him 5 days a week.... I honestly cannot wait to build that friendship with him 🩵

Today's walk was fabulous. I've been so excited about starting walking this man, if you know me, you know what I'm like 🤣

He's recently been to the groomers, so the day I met him, to today, he's changed to being practically naked 🤣🤣

Here is, MONTY 👏🏼👇🩵🐾🐾

Just want to say thank you to all my customers for allowing their dogs to save their pawket money to buy me Christmas gifts ❤️

Those that were wrapped, I haven't opened. Going to try my best to wait until Monday 🫣🤣

Those who have given me chocolates... I can't say the same because I've already started munching on them 🙈🤣

It's been a wonderful 10 months being back working with and walking dogs.

Each and everyone has put their paw print on me somewhere and taught me a thing or two.... Its been an honour being allowed into all of their lives.

I look forward to seeing you all again after Christmas 🎄

Wishing you all a very Merry and Magical Christmas:

☆ Pablo & his Humans 🎄
☆ Milo & Lola & their human family 🎄
☆ Gus & Gabby and their humans 🎄
☆ Gizmo, Chewy & their humans 🎄
☆ And last but not least, my ⭐️ pupils, Merry Christmas to Ragnar and his human, too ❤️🩵🐾🐾

Please do your research on whatever breed you plan to have.

Something that could be cute and funny at puppy age/stage will more than likely be the complete opposite as they grow into adults.

Having to train something out of a dog is so much harder than training them not do something at Puppy age.

Think first.....

Research:

● Size (at adult age)
● Training techniques for that certain breed
● Characteristics they may have.

This isn't just about getting puppies at Christmas time, the message is a lot louder than that 👇

100% 👇🩵❤️🐾🐾

I know it isn't pleasant bringing this up. BUT I just wanted everyone to know, that if you have an XL-B and looking for walks for them or training sessions (training requirement dependant), I will 100% NOT turn you away when the ban is put into place. 🩵❤️🐾🐾

I would need to see the exemption certificate unfortunately 😔 and obviously they will need to be muzzled (If walking) 😔 I MAY also need proof of liability insurance.

I hate the fact that people are crossing over the road when walking their XL-B's to avoid people, now. BUT I fully understand why you do that... I only hate it, as I would love nothing more than to come up and meet you both. You and your XL-B (with or without a muzzle on) 🩵❤️🐾🐾

Top Tips for Puppies:

People tend to assume that because they believe dogs aren't allowed out until fully vaccinated, that they can't start leash training or introducing them to smells, sounds and sights.

From the time you get your puppy home, at 7-8 weeks old. Start them leash training in the house.

If they are small enough to carry, carry them on small walks, so they hear the sounds, smell the air and get see all the distractions that you will face once out on an official fully vaccinated walk.

If they are not small enough to carry, take them out on a lead. NOTE - don't allow them to stop and sniff dog p**p or allow them to meet strangers dogs. Unless you know the dog and know its healthy, they shouldn't meet until fully vaccinated.

Once fully vaccinated, please continue the leash training before you allow your puppy to meet other dogs off lead. They need to be taught how to approach other dogs in a calm and respectful manner before they get to run loose with other dogs. Do it the opposite way around, and you will more than likely struggle with leash control and potentially causing them to be lead reactive..

Even toilet training can start from the moment you get them home. Providing you know there is no cat p**p lying around, or things that can cause any harm in anyway, then get that training on the go immediately.

My girls were toilet trained at 8 weeks old. So they never had puppy pads down or newspaper put down for them. I'm pretty lucky seen as you would imagine there would be the odd accident, but they have had ZERO accidents and turned 4 years old on 9th December ❤️🐾🐾

Hey Everyone 👋

Just my Christmas/New Year sessions:

I won't be doing any sessions on Friday 22nd December, but if needed/wanted, I will do sessions on Saturday 23rd.

I'll stop then over Xmas so, Sunday 24th, 25th & 26th.

I have one walk booked in already for the 27th, so I'm happy to arrange other sessions for that day, too.

I won't be doing any sessions on Thursday 28th December, but I will be back on Friday 29th with normal time slots and again, I am happy to arrange sessions for Saturday the 30th if needed/wanted.

I will also not be doing any sessions on Monday, 1st January 2024.

Everything will be back to normal then from Tuesday 2nd Jan and onwards 😊

UPDATE from BLUECROSS not from the Government.

However, the following link will take you to the expemtion scheme GOV page to apply:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-a-certificate-of-exemption-to-keep-an-xl-bully-dog

Personally, I would wait for as long as you possibly can before applying for the exemption. This is ONLY my opinion, though, you do what you think is right for you and your furbaby....

😔🐾🐾❤️🩵

02/11/2023

With everything going on regarding the XL Bullies. I thought I'd share these screenshots from the government website....

If you are not sure if your dog will come under the 'type' for an XL Bully, please go ahead and get the exemption form.... even if your puppy is only 8weeks old, and you don't know how big they will grow or whether or not they will fall into this category, but you do know there is/are bully breeds in them, again, please get the exemption form....

Although, personally I would wait to see how this Barrister does before making any drastic decisions.

I will keep my page updated with screenshots from the Government website only...

But for now.... please see pics attached 😔🐾🐾👇

Whether it be my own dogs, or the dogs I walk, I always check their 💩

So, this is very handy to know 👇🐾🐾

7 Points:

With everything going on lately...

(1) Even if your dog is not an XL-B, please ensure your dogs are wearing collars with their ID tags attached. The less reason we give to be stopped, the better.

(2) By law dog ID tags should be worn on a collar. This doesn't mean their harness. Even though that is visible to authorities 🤷‍♀️ they specifically say it needs to be attached to a collar.

(3) If we start doing things right now, and changing these little subtle things, we could possibly prevent any further reason for a breed to be put on or considered to be put on the BSL listing 😔

(4) IF you know your dog is not comfortable around other dogs, and/or has a tendancy to react toward another dog or human, please be sensible and start muzzling your dogs.

(5) I have shared steps to muzzle training on here, which has been pinned to the top for ease of viewing. Please use this to help you and your dog.

(6) If you are in an area where there are signs saying "Dogs Must Be Kept On a Lead", Please comply. This causes so much trouble for those abiding by the rules. And when something does happen, the one on the lead generally gets the blame 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

(7) Dogs don't have a voice and we don't get much of say when authorities decide to make a change like this either. So let's protect our dogs now, to prevent things getting to this point again 😔🐾🐾

Ooooh, sooooo. I would like to welcome two new little friends of mine to Tails of Obedience....

We had our first walk together today, and it would be fair to say, it was a very pleasant walk 😄

They are absolutely adorable and my first ever cockapoo customers 🐾🐾👏🏼👏🏼

Everyone Meet.....
