All I want for Christmas is for my very good friend to get her Cookie back and for souls and hearts to heal.

Can I ask everyone to do a huge share in the season of giving to get these girls where they belong.

Love this 👌💜

When you hire a dog walker, it is so much more than an hour of their time...

Being an ethical dog walker, with the best interests of the dogs at heart, is a SKILLED PROFESSION 💓

Yesterday, we were shocked to hear somebody say that 'dog walking is an unskilled profession' and they should be paid 'minimum wage' 😔

In fact, it's sad to sometimes hear that dog walkers are the 'unsung heroes' of the dog world; this has got to change! We are on a mission to educate all members of the public about the INCREDIBLE job that you do 🦸

Professional, ethical dog walkers are highly skilled; they provide dog owners with an unrivalled service to support them and their best friend ✔️

They have worked relentlessly to become experienced, skilled and have a unique understanding of dogs 🐕💡🧑‍🎓

It's more than just a job, or simply making money; it's more than an hour of their time and we expect dog walkers to be paid their worth. They are working with living breathing creatures, who have thoughts, feelings and desires. There is a responsibility to ensure that they have all of their mental, physical and emotional needs met 🐶💖

It's their passion and their life, as much as it is their profession. They are dedicated and they provide a high quality service 🫡

To trust someone with your dog is an honour. I know I, Helen Motteram, wouldn't trust just anybody with my furry and feathery friends. I want to be sure that they will treat them with the same love and respect that I would, and I expect that to come at a price befitting the sevice 💸

Dog walkers do much more than simply walk dogs and, as above, it's not just an hour of their time. So we please ask dog owners to consider this when hiring a professional.😉👍

Are you asking this question?
Have you muzzle trained your dog ?
Do you stay in the Vet room so you know what’s being done & how?
What is your dogs response to a muzzle being brought into view?
I muzzle train my St Poodle girl, because I want any Vet experience my dog has to be as low stress ‘normal’ as possible …. shes not an aggressive/fearful dog, but I still trained this and many other Co op care behaviours because I think about & plan ahead for those occasions when restraint IS required ie emergencies !
Get started and support your dogs mental & physical welfare 👌✅
