More rain = more muddy paws and boots! No worries - I have lots of gear and gadgets ๐Ÿ˜.
In addition to a bag of towels and doggy wet wipes, I now have a Mud Daddy and a Paw Buddy to wash paws in nice warm water. The muddiest pups really love it ๐Ÿ’œ
It's also excellent for getting mud off my footwear. Although the best buy I ever made was a pack of reusable overshoes that protect floors and save me from having to delay walkies and homecomings by constantly taking shoes off and on at the door ๐Ÿ‘ It's all part of the service ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’œ

Ensuring your dog's safety while out for a walk is crucial. As this month is Walk Your Dog Month, here are some helpful tips to keep both you and your pet safe... ๐Ÿพ

๐Ÿฆฎ Make sure your dog is attached to a well-fitting harness and lead. A harness is often safer than a collar as it evenly distributes pressure and avoids strain on their neck.

โœจIf you're walking early in the morning, during the evening, or in low light, wear reflective gear such as a vest or a jacket with reflective strips, and make sure your dog has a light-up collar or reflective lead. This will help other pedestrians and drivers see you both.

๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ Stick to quieter streets or parks with minimal traffic. High-traffic areas pose more risks to your dog's safety.

๐Ÿ• Always keep your dog on a lead when walking in areas where they might come across other dogs, wildlife, or traffic. If you do let your dog off the lead, make sure it's a safe, enclosed area where they can run free without any risks.

โš ๏ธ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿถ Keep a lookout for potential dangers, such as loose dogs, bicycles, or hazardous objects like broken glass. Awareness can prevent accidents.

๐ŸŒžโ„๏ธ Exercise your responsibility and care by avoiding walking in the midday heat on hot days and on cold days and being mindful of your dog's paws and coat.

๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ„ Be cautious of plants and fungi your dog may sniff or eat during walks. Many common plants, such as lilies or foxgloves, can be toxic to dogs. If you're unsure, avoid letting them nibble or chew on unfamiliar plants.

๐Ÿ’ง Bring water for both you and your dog, especially if you're walking for an extended time. Dehydration can cause serious issues, particularly on warm days.

๐Ÿž๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Be mindful of rough terrain or hot pavements, as they can hurt your dog's paws.

๐Ÿ• Training will help your dog walk calmly by your side and obey commands, making it easier to keep them safe in busy or unpredictable situations.

By following these tips, you can ensure a safe, enjoyable walk for both you and your dog, no matter the weather or location. ๐ŸŒฆ๏ธ

A lot of people have remarked on my colour combo recently, which is great for my brand ๐Ÿ’œ Especially as I chose the colour in memory of my beloved Collie, Lavender, who went over the rainbow bridge a decade ago this January๐Ÿ’œ

Today (Jan 14) is . Lavender wasn't one for dressing up and I promised I wouldn't do it with Arlo (although he did look cute in his Xmas jumper!) But as my little brand ambassador, I had to get him a purple Equafleece to match his mummy!! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’œ

January 13 is day ๐Ÿ’œ This time last year, I wasn't sure if my dream of becoming a professional dog walker would come true. It took longer than I hoped to build up my little doggy business but it's kept growing, one set of paws at a time. I've kept the dream alive and I am now confident about 2025 ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’œ ๐Ÿพ

It was very kind of to try and colour coordinate Arlo's new collar and harness with his new blue tankie. But, we still love the harlequin design as the different colours go with all his different fleeces. He's now dry, cozy, cleaner and can be safely seen in the dark and fog. We're both very happy

Did You Know? Walking your dog can boost their mental health!

Taking your dog for regular walks isn't just about exercise โ€“ it's a fantastic way to improve their mental well-being, too!

Here's how a walk can help them...

๐ŸŒŸ Reduces anxiety and stress: Walks help release mood-boosting endorphins, calming anxious dogs and easing stress.

๐ŸŒŸ Stimulates their mind: New sights, sounds, and smells keep your dog's brain engaged, preventing boredom and frustration.

๐ŸŒŸ Provides structure and routine: Regular walks create a sense of security and predictability for your dog.

๐ŸŒŸ Builds confidence: Exploring new environments and meeting new people or dogs helps your dog feel more secure and confident.

๐ŸŒŸ Enhances social skills: Walks are great for meeting other dogs and people, helping your dog become more socially comfortable.

๐ŸŒŸ Prevents behavioural issues: A mentally and physically active dog is less likely to develop undesirable behaviours like chewing or digging.

Walks are more than just a physical activity โ€“ they're a boost to your dog's happiness and mental health! Get outside and explore together this Walk Your Dog Month. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’š

Q: I got asked the other day: "Do you do group walks?" A: No. Solo and duo walkies are my thing. Plus drop-ins and short-term dog sitting.

Why? Because some of my customers are very slow, others are ultra speedy, some are old, some are needy, some are nervous, a few are naughty, some pull like crazy, others are lazy. I'm not geared up for mixing and matching multiple mutts. There are plenty of local businesses who do that.

If your dog/s need 100% attention, feel free to check out my site and get in touch.
