Something you may not know about me is that I am a very spiritual person and I incorporate that into all parts of my life.
Tonight’s full moon invites us to pause and reflect. With the full moon being in Capricorn, we’re being nudged to focus on what truly matters, to release what no longer serves us, and to gently recommit to the path that brings us home to ourselves.

In a world full of noise and demands, our attention is powerful. But so often, it gets pulled in a hundred directions. When we give it away unconsciously, we give away our power.

This full moon asks:
✹ What really deserves your focus?
✹ What are you ready to let go of?
✹ What would life look like if you followed what makes your soul feel alive?

And I often find myself wishing our dogs could do the same, shake off what weighs them down, let go of the fears they carry, and step into each day with confidence and calm.
For many of our rescue dogs, especially the nervous ones, the world hasn’t been kind or fair. They didn’t choose the burdens they carry. But bit by bit, with our help, they can begin to find their way back to safety, curiosity, and joy.

Maybe tonight is about holding space for both ourselves and our dogs—to let go of what no longer serves, and to focus gently on the things that heal and matter most.

đŸŸ One moon. Two species. Both trying to find our way home.

Tired. Overwhelmed. Done. Sound familiar?

Some days, I hit a wall.
Too many things to do, too much noise, too many emotions bubbling under the surface. It’s like my brain says, “Nope. I’ve got nothing left.”
And all I want is a quiet space, a kind voice, and a moment to just be.

Our dogs feel this too especially the nervous ones.
When they’re tired or overwhelmed, they’re not being “stubborn” or “naughty.” They’re simply out of steam. Their brain has said, “I can’t cope right now,” and their behaviour reflects that - hiding, shutting down, barking, pacing, refusing to move, even lashing out.

Just like us, they don’t need fixing.
They need rest. Safety. Patience.

So today, if you’re feeling frazzled or your dog seems off-kilter, pause.
Cancel the non-essentials.
Let yourself and your dog decompress.
A calm walk.
A sniffy moment.
A cup of tea while they snooze in their safe spot.

We don’t always need to do more.
Sometimes we just need to feel safe enough to stop.

Are you and your dog bored in the evenings?

Due to a last minute cancellation we now have one space available for our classes starting Monday 14th July at 7pm

Looking for something fun, different, and actually useful to do together? Something that will build your bond whilst they get used to being calm around other dogs?

Join us for a sniff-tastic class that stimulates your dog’s mind, tires them out, and helps them chill out, all while having loads of fun!

Scentwork is suitable for all breeds, all ages, and all abilities, whether you’ve got a bouncy pup or a nervous rescue, everyone’s welcome!

Indoor venue so weather is never an issue!

Is Your Dog Struggling to Cope When Left Alone?

You pop out for a few minutes, and come back to chaos.
Scratched doors. Torn cushions. Puddles by the door.
Or worse, your dog is trembling, drooling, or pacing in panic.

You dread leaving the house.
Your neighbours are fed up with the barking.
You’re feeling guilty, frustrated, and out of options.

It’s a deep emotional distress, and your dog isn’t being naughty, they’re terrified.

But there is a way through.

✅ Learn how to help your dog feel safe and calm when home alone

It's Saturday Morning so that means one thing - destruction box time!

My lot love doing these, they get to rip and shred which are natural behaviours, then once they get inside there are amazing stinky treats!

It also helps with my recycling as the boxes are already ripped up so I don't have to do it!

Win win!
