Is it back to work day for you??
Happy 2025! Let's go smash this year everyone!
What are your new year goals and resolutions ? Tell me below β¬οΈ
@rights4animals.cy can't wait for your new arrivals to get settled in their homes! Not long now!!
Can we all appreciate how amazing Maggie is doing in this video!
Maggie is a rescue and her family have done amazing with her, when we began she was overwhelmed and overstimulated with everything. She barked constantly including in the car and the entire time she was out. We have worked so hard on her being calm and although she's still very much watching other dogs and people in this video, she's in a busy cafe and she's not barking or lunching so this is huge!
I am beyond delighted with her progress and can't wait to see what next year brings for her!

This is the beautiful Maggie π
Maggie came to us initially as she was very over stimulated with life! She is a rescue dog who hadnt been given the best start in life and her new family wanted to do everything they could to make her life (and theirs!) easier.
Maggie would do most of her walks on her back legs, she couldn't get in the car without panicking and she lived life like an over active Tigger. We have been working regularly for quite a few months now just taking everything at her pace and slowly building her up.
This video is her learning to stay last weekend in a local park in the wind and drizzle. There are cats, birds and her favourite - sticks all around. A small dog even walks past and yes she acknowledged them but she focused straight back to what her owner was doing!
I'm so impressed Maggie, you are such an amazing and beautiful girl and you have well and truly fallen on your paws with your family!

Christmas can be a costly time of year and seeing people buying piles of presents for their pets and their children can be hugely overwhelming!
But your dog honestly doesn't mind, yes they can feel the anticipation in the home and they may be wary of all the new sparkly, shiny and noisy decorations in the home.
There are lots of non costly ways to treat your dog.
πCreate a Christmas destruction box , wrap up an old box and fill with paper and treats and let your dog rip this up and enjoy creating a mess! You may have to keep the real presents behind a baby gate if you teach them this one though π€£
βοΈTake them on a nice quiet peaceful walk away from the Christmas chaos at home , let them climb in logs and sniff every pee mail they come across.
π
πΌPlay games - use 3 cups and hide a treat underneath one cup, mix them around like you are doing a magic trick and let your dog sniff out which one is hiding the treat!
Your dog wants nothing more than your time!
What is your biggest Christmas wish this year? Let me know β¬οΈ
Moose's Journey
I had to share this lovely review from this week π the bond that moose and his owners have now is just beautiful to see!
I'm looking forward to coming back next year to help the handsome Moose a little bit more and to check in to see how those settle, wait and calm skills are coming along!
I absolutely love working with rescue dogs and getting them settled into their homes is just the best thing π

Top Christmas Tips to keep your dog safe!
Keep advent calendars and all chocolate treats out of the way of dogs.
Mince pies, Christmas pudding, stollen etc all contain raisins which are also toxic to dogs.
Puppies may be overly interested in the new decorations and fake snow so make sure they can not get access to any.
The liquid inside snow globes is highly toxic please keep these out of reach as well incase they are knocked over and smash or they leak!
Keep safe and have fun!

Week 4 UKSD Bronze class
Absolutely delighted with this week's class.
Unfortunately not everyone was able to make it but that did mean we could really focus on making those indications longer and making the scent items smaller!
Both are now searching for pieces 1cm in size and smaller! Which is just amazing!
Honestly I love watching this and look how focused they are and even though they wanted to play together at the start, as soon as they started searching they completely ignored eachother!
Amazing work!!
Wrap up warm it's chilly out there! Don't know about you but it's a 'binge I'm a celeb' and watch movies kind of say!

Basil and his loose lead journey!
This one was a bit different as I was only working with him temporarily as he was staying at his grandparents nearby while his owners were on holiday. I knew we wouldn't overcome everything in such a short time as Basil is a very energetic rescue but he did so so well!
