Good evening everyone and happy new year to you all 🙋🏻‍♂️

Unfortunately I didn't post anything in December due to me injuring my dominant hand on the last day of November. This made it extremely difficult and painful for me to even hold onto a lead, which meant holding my phone whilst trying to take a photo was completely out of the question 🤦🏻‍♂️

I am now almost fully healed however, which means I can once again take photos of my lovely clients beautiful doggos 😍

Please see below some of the photos I've taken on my walks this week 💁🏻‍♂️

Until next time.. 🤝💯💙

Good evening everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

Today's 1st walk was with Misty & Merlin 💁🏻‍♂️
These two met for the first time today and went about their business without bothering each other, just how Misty likes it.. I can't say Merlin liked being ignored mind 😅

Today's 2nd walk was with Flare & Orion 💁🏻‍♂️
Flare has perked up since Tuesday's walk so it was lovely to see her with a spring in her step this morning 😍

Today's 3rd walk was with Willow & Mavis 💁🏻‍♂️
Unfortunately today was Mavis' last walk with me for the time being so hopefully things pick up again and then I can see her again in the new year 👌

Today's 4th walk was with Reggie & Sandy 💁🏻‍♂️
These two had a good run out together today, Reggie needed it as he hatesss the cold 🫣

Today's 5th and final walk was with Jet, Annie & Henry 💁🏻‍♂️
A nice slow walk out with the 2 grumps whilst Jet done his own thing to finish the day 👌

Until next time.. 🤝💯💙

Good evening everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

Today's 1st walk was with Misty, Annie & Henry 💁🏻‍♂️
These 3 doggos were not happy about being walked on the cold and wet grass this morning but needs must for the grumps to do their business 🫣

Today's 2nd walk was with Brucey & Orion 💁🏻‍♂️
These 2 boys weren't bothered about the cold and wet grass one bit and had themselves a good run out on it 🙌

Today's 3rd walk was a pack walk with Merlin, Cassie & Dougie who were joined by SPS dog Bugzy 💁🏻‍♂️
These 3 were pitted by the time we'd finished our walk as we also got caught in the rain, but they were happy and that's the aim of the game so smiles all around 👌

Today's 4th and final walk was another pack walk with Reggie, Mavis & Sandy who were also joined by Bugzy 💁🏻‍♂️
Mavis had these 3 boys ran absolutely ragged today chasing each other around, there was only Sandy that could keep up with her 😅

Until next time.. 🤝💯💙

27/11/2024

Good evening everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

Today's first walk was with Annie & Henry 💁🏻‍♂️
What a lovely sunny morning for a walk around the block with these two gorgeous doggos 😍

Today's 2nd walk was with Flare & Oreo 💁🏻‍♂️
Flare has a poorly ear at the moment if you can't already tell from the photo, so just a nice slow walk for her whilst Orion whizzed around doing his own thing 😅

Today's 3rd walk was a pack walk with Merlin, Sandy & Alfie 💁🏻‍♂️
These 3 boys had each other's lives over that stick, Merlin didn't get a go today but it wasn't for a lack of trying, maybe next time kiddo 🤣

Until next time.. 🤝💯💙

14/11/2024

Good evening everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

Today's 1st walk was with Flare & Orion 💁🏻‍♂️
Can you tell by the looks on their faces, which dog was built for winter and which one wasn't 😅

Today's 2nd walk was a pack walk with Annie, Milo, Henry & Misty 💁🏻‍♂️
These 4 were together again today and I think they have formed their own little couples, we have Annie liking Milo and Misty liking Henry 🤣

Today's 3rd walk was with Winney 💁🏻‍♂️
She was absolutely full of it this morning as she usually is and I may be biased but she is one big beautiful pup too 😍

Today's 4th walk was a pack walk with Atlas, Sandy, Merlin & Reggie 💁🏻‍♂️
These 4 had a blast today as usual running each other ragged, Atlas and Merlin even stopped for a sword fight, display of dominance if I've ever seen it 🫣

Today's 5th and final walk was with Willow, Ruby & Mavis 💁🏻‍♂️
Ruby and Mavis were joined by Willow today and well, he was in his element to say the least 😅

Until next time.. 🤝💯💙

13/11/2024

Good evening everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

Today's 1st walk was a pack walk with Annie, Milo, Henry & Misty 💁🏻‍♂️
These 4 had a good mingle together and Henrys playful side came out too so I let him off for 5 to have a play with Milo 😍

Today's 2nd walk was with Bruce & Orion 💁🏻‍♂️
These two had a good stretch of the legs this morning and Bruce was also in a very playful mood which means he's warming to Oreos energy now, he let him know it too once I let him loose 😅

Today's 3rd walk was another pack walk this time with Cassie, Sandy, Dougie, Merlin & Ruby 💁🏻‍♂️
These 5 had an absolute blast today and ran each other ragged 🙌

Today's 4th and final walk was with Atlas & Mavis 💁🏻‍♂️
These two absolutely loved each other and Mavis thought it was brilliant chasing Atlas around 😂

Until next time.. 🤝💯💙

12/11/2024

Good evening all 🙋🏻‍♂️

Today's 1st walk was a pack walk with Flare, Ruby & Orion 💁🏻‍♂️
Not a great start to the day for me as Flare decided to roll in Fox muck again whilst the other two were toddling around minding their business 🫣

Today's 2nd walk was with Milo, Annie & Henry again as well as Jet 💁🏻‍♂️
I forgot to get a picture of these guys this morning and my photoshop skills arent much good, so using yesterdays photo 🤦🏻‍♂️

Today's 3rd walk was another pack walk with all the boys 💁🏻‍♂️
We swapped Merlin for Sandy today as its Merlins day with his Granddad 🙌

Today's 4th and final walk was with Cooper & Mavis again 💁🏻‍♂️
These guys literally do not stop, unless I shout them for a treat at which point they stop for less than 2 seconds to swallow it and then they're on their way again 😅

Until next time.. 🤝💯💙

11/11/2024

Good evening everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

Today's 1st walk was with Milo, Annie & Henry 💁🏻‍♂️
The two grumps were introduced to Milo today and I think its safe to say, Annie and Milo are very fond of one another 😘

Today's 2nd walk was with little Oreo 💁🏻‍♂️
His shadow has him looking like a devil dog, however he is anything but 😍

Today's 3rd walk was a pack walk with all the boys 💁🏻‍♂️
Atlas, Reg, Alfie, SPS dog Bugzy and Merlin all had an absolute blast with one another today and they were absolutely cream crackered once we had finished, all that running and playing had tired them right out 🙌

Today's 4th and final walk was with Cooper & Mavis 💁🏻‍♂️
These two beauties went crazy when they met and I expected nothing less, I think it's safe to say they really hit it off today 👌

Until next time.. 🤝💯💙

!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.. !!

If you're thinking of getting a dog, regardless of what breed you may want, then please be prepared to spare the time and make the effort that is required to train them correctly, as well as desensitising them to as many things as possible that you will encounter throughout the course of their lives.

Because as independent and self sufficient as dogs can be, there are things that they cannot do for themselves that will eventually require human intervention. As well as inherent behaviours that if not trained correctly, ultimately could unfortunately lead to the end of that dog (or occasionally human) in question whether it may have been their own fault or not, or an entire breed as we have very sadly seen happen with the XL bulldogs recently.

That's my Friday night rant over.. Have a lovely weekend folks!
With love, Lewis @ SPS. 🤝💯💙

Good afternoon everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

Yesterday's first walk was with Misty 💁🏻‍♂️
Misty had a lovely slow stroll to start her day 🙌

2nd walk was with Henry & Annie 💁🏻‍♂️
These two really arent fans of the cold or wet on their paws, not that I can blame them mind 🫣

Yesterday's 3rd walk was with Winney 💁🏻‍♂️
Winney loves going out whether its windy, raining, sunny or snowing 👌

4th walk was a pack one with Thor, Flare & Orion 💁🏻‍♂️
These 3 had never been put together before but Thor mixed brilliantly with the other two 😄

5th walk was another pack walk with Willow, Ruby & Mavis 💁🏻‍♂️
Ruby and Mavis got along exactly as you would expect for two adolescent females, Willow the poor old boy couldn't get a look in bless him 😅

Yesterday's 6th and final walk was with Merlin, Atlas & Sandy 💁🏻‍♂️
Merlin was introduced to these 2 boys yesterday and they got on tremendously well in the end. Merlin got checked on a couple of occasions by the other two but, boys will be boys 🤷‍♂️

Until next time.. 🤝💯💙

06/11/2024

Good evening everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

Today's 1st walk was Henry & Annie 💁🏻‍♂️
It was even colder today and these guys were fresh out of bed so they were in a right grump, Annie's face says it all 😂

Today's 2nd walk was with Orion 💁🏻‍♂️
This little fella wasn't so sure about stepping on the leaves to begin with, just look at the difference between the first when he was starting and last photo once he was through 😅

Today's 3rd walk was with Brucey 💁🏻‍♂️
Bruce has had a fresh trim this week, lets hope it grows back soon before it gets any colder 🥶

Today's 4th walk was with Misty 💁🏻‍♂️
This little lady almost got lost amongst the leaves today too, she started by hopping through them and then decided she would just shake off what was remaining once she was through 😆

Today's 4th walk was a pack walk with Dougie, Mavis, Cassie & Sandy 💁🏻‍♂️
These 4 are absolutely hilarious when together, so excitable, happy and playful so Mavis fit right in 😍

Today's 5th and final walk was another pack walk with Ruby, Merlin & Reggie 💁🏻‍♂️
These 3 have never been together before but got along brilliantly, even using Ruby's excellent recall skills to teach Merlin some of his own since he was staying so close to her when he was off leash 👌

Until next time.. 🤝💯💙

05/11/2024

Good evening everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

Today's 1st walk was with Orion 💁🏻‍♂️
He was in a beautifully playful mood today 😍

Today's 2nd walk was with Annie & Henry 💁🏻‍♂️ These two were not best pleased about the drop in temperature today, despite their many layers 😅

Today's 3rd walk was with Ruby & Flare 💁🏻‍♂️
These two weren't bothered about the weather what so ever, in fact the colder and dirtier for these two the better.. Oh that reminds me, Flare rolled in fox muck too 🫣

Until next time.. 🤝💯💙

04/11/2024

Good evening everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

After a horrendous last few weeks for me personally, which was epitomised by the passing of my eldest dog Schoes last week 😭 I'm now hoping that, with that having happened and Schoes being in a much better place, that I too can try to get back to business as usual as quickly as possible, to help bring SPS to a much better place also!

So for today's 1st walk, it was with little Oreo 💁🏻‍♂️
This beautiful little man was loving life this morning running amongst the leaves 😍

Today's 2nd walk was with Merlin 💁🏻‍♂️
Merlin had been on half term last week, so he was super excited when I turned up to take him out today 🙌

Today's 3rd walk was with Mavis, Reggie & Alfie 💁🏻‍♂️
Alfie was also on half term last week so that meant Reg was super excited to see his bestie.. Mavis was just excited from the get go as always lol 🫣

Today's 4th walk was with Annie & Henry 💁🏻‍♂️
Unfortunately I couldn't get no photos of them as it was already dark by that point and my phone is only just to say capable of taking pictures in the daylight, let alone the dark 😅

Until next time.. 🤝💯💙

22/10/2024

Good evening everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

Todays first walk was with Henry & Annie 💁🏻‍♂️
These two grumps weren't feeling it this morning, slow coast around the block for them 👌

Today's 2nd walk was with Flare 💁🏻‍♂️
Flare was in a lovely mood this morning, she was even pulling faces 😜

Today's 3rd walk was Orion 💁🏻‍♂️
This happy go lucky little man was loving life as always 😍

Today's 4th walk was a pack walk with Ruby, Sandy, Reggie & Mavis 💁🏻‍♂️
Ruby and Mavis hit it off immediately today as I expected, meaning that the two boys were left to do their own thing for the most part 😆

Until next time.. 🤝💯💙

21/10/2024

Good evening everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

Today's 1st walk was with Oreo 💁🏻‍♂️
This little fella was feeling cheeky this morning and was bright eyed and bushy tailed as always 🤪

Today's 2nd walk was with Mavis, Merlin & Reggie 💁🏻‍♂️
Reggie was not feeling the camera today as per usual, however Mavis and Merlin adored the attention of it 😂

Today's 3rd and final walk was with Henry & Annie 💁🏻‍♂️
These two must have smelt something they liked in that same bush because they had me stood ages whilst they took turns sniffing it 😅

Until next time.. 🤝💯💙

17/10/2024

Good evening everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

Today's 1st walk was with Orion 💁🏻‍♂️
This little man was raring to go this morning as always 🙌

Today's 2nd walk was with Flare 💁🏻‍♂️
Flare was in a very perky mood this morning too, she even smiled for the camera for a change 😅

Today's 3rd walk was with Misty 💁🏻‍♂️
This little lady wasn't feeling it at all this morning and was very camera shy too 🫣

Today's 4th walk was with Annie & Henry 💁🏻‍♂️
These two fur balls were great again today, Henry loves to tease Annie whilst off lead though 🤦🏻‍♂️

Today's 5th walk was with Winney 💁🏻‍♂️
Winney has had a fresh haircut this week and I hardly recognised her when I walked through the door 😆

Today's 6th and final walk of the day was a pack walk with Atlas, Sandy, Merlin & Willow 💁🏻‍♂️
These 4 boys had a good stretch of their legs and a play together this afternoon and were also joined by SPS dog Bugzy ✌️

Until next time.. 🤝💙💯

16/10/2024

Good evening everyone 🙋🏻‍♂️

Today's 1st walk was with Bruce & Orion 💁🏻‍♂️
Brucey's still not sure about Orion but the more they hang out, the more he will learn to understand him 👌

Today's 2nd walk was with Annie & Henry 💁🏻‍♂️
Their owner gave me permission to allow Henry off lead today, now given how short a time I've been walking them both I wouldn't usually tend to let them off as soon, however with me having done training with Henry in the past I knew we already had that bond for me to be able to do so and he did not disappoint 🙌

Today's 3rd walk was a pack walk with Jet, Cassie, Dougie & Merlin 💁🏻‍♂️
Had the Lab crew out today and boyyy oh boy, I must be mad.. Walking 1 Labrador is challenging enough but 4 of them is definitely not for the feint hearted 😅

Today's 4th and final walk was another pack walk with Reg, Mavis, Atlas & Sandy 💁🏻‍♂️
These 4 had a brilliant time today running wild with each other, Mavis was out with others for the first time today too and she handled herself fairly well considering! Atlas has already met Sandy & Reg but got along with both Bugz and Mavis amazingly 😍

Until next time.. 🤝💯💙
