Here is the best of Elvis over the last 6 years, caring for him from the day he was brought home as a puppy to current date.

There’s something incredible about the bond between a dog walker and the pups they spend their days with. It doesn’t happen overnight. It grows over years of muddy paws, excited greetings, quiet moments, and shared adventures.

Somewhere along the way, they stop feeling like “clients” and start feeling like your own. You learn their quirks, their bravery, their weird little habits, and all the things that make them who they are. The memories stack up fast, and every single one is worth holding onto.

Walking dogs isn’t just another appointment in the diary for me. It’s connection, trust, joy, and a whole lot of love. These dogs become part of my world, and I become part of theirs. And that’s something truly special that I feel so very lucky experience daily.

Happy Monday 😊

Milo’s not delivering parcels…
we just can’t unsee how his rain coat looks exactly like a DPD uniform.

With the help of AI you can see what we mean right?

Be honest: what delivery company do you see when you look at him?

Golden hour magic. That late-afternoon light that makes everything glow—especially on a quiet autumn walk.

The air feels heavy with today’s thoughts and light with tomorrow’s hopes.
Caught this perfect moment of Jack soaking it all in 🍂✨

🎉 What. A. Day. 🎉
Two birthday boys in one day!

Logan & Milo living their best lives and celebrating the big day on K9 Day Adventures with the crew! 🐾

Logan even showed up with birthday snacks to share (and yep, they disappeared faster than you can say “good boy”).

Big tail wags and birthday love to these two legends! 🦴💛

There is no way I can have a sneaky snack in the car without this one knowing 😝

A snap from today’s group! No I didn’t have treats (I lie!)

We had a little extra time due to a cancellation today so we used this to pop into the pet store a pick a birthday treat for Barney today!

He picked a trio of cupcakes to share with his friend 😍

The group enjoying a good ‘sniffari’

Letting them have time to sniff and browse has many benefits which include:

𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
Sniffing is brain exercise. Dogs have up to 300 million scent receptors (you’ve got about 6 million), so every sniff is like them reading a novel, not just “smelling grass.”

𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟:
Nose work lowers cortisol (stress hormone). Sniffing helps them chill out instead of acting like little furry grenades of anxiety.

𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫:
Denying a dog sniffing is like taking someone to a library and telling them not to read. They need it.

𝐓𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐨𝐮𝐭:
A “sniff walk” can drain more energy than a brisk march around the block. It’s like mental cardio. It’s why our dogs at The Pet Happiness Centre go home tried and content.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭:
For nervous or reactive dogs, exploring scents builds confidence in a world that’s way too big and noisy for them sometimes.

It’s why we like to travel to interesting walking spots and are not about distance of the walks. For the gang it’s all about the quality, taking time to browse the environment.

Barney + Elvis = ultimate bromance.

They adore the whole crew, but when these two spot each other, it’s game over. Everyone else may as well go home.

Elvis had a rough start to the week (aka he missed a walk… tragic). But today? Oh, today he scored a full K9 Day Adventure with his main man. Cue the zoomies, sniffies, and synchronised tail wags.

Because let’s be real—life is just better when you’re road-tripping with your furry bestie. 🐾❤️🐶

Hot Weather Warning ⚠️

Next week is looking to be a hot one, particularly the start of the week. Therefore we will be starting earlier and finishing earlier (where necessary) to avoid the hottest part of the day and keep all doggies happy and safe.

Comfort visits will be offered for later afternoon and for the less heat tolerant dogs.

For now here is Barney, Milo and Logan’s AI boys day out photo for entertainment purposes.

Keep cool and see the gang next week!

Wowza that was a hot day!!

All the doggies that needed a visit and comfort break have been seen and thank you to you wonderful bunch of clients who offered drinks while I was on my visits…..hydration stations were certainly appreciated.

Hopefully we can resume normal services tomorrow as I know the dogs missed their walkies/day out with the gang.

See the gang tomorrow 🐶
