When the weather is hot the dogs can still have fun enrichment. 15 minutes of mental stimulation is equivalent to an hours walk.
Here I am with Emmett utilising scent with touch and his marker word. He is so focused on the scent (in my hand I’m holding a piece of red Kong) that he isn’t really bothered with his reward of a treat 🐾
Majestic Monday!!!
Look at Baloo GO!! ❤️🐾
Would you believe this was 2200hours, what better way to enjoy a Friday evening!!
A late night walk and swim for this one whilst I have the pleasure of pet sitting him for the weekend. You’ve probably gathered he’s my regular boy Emmett who I walk during the week ❤️
Photos to follow 😍🐾
More swimming ❤️ not me this time though haha 🐾
Our first job of the day early this morning was a swim with Baloo 🤣 yes it got a hell of a lot deeper than that. Infact it was up to my thighs - wouldn’t do this for everyone but was definitely refreshing 😝🐾🥵
Charlie says the tyres are a great new addition to Paws 2 Pasture as they make the best back scratchers 🤣🤣🐾
Maynard never fails to make me giggle. Chasing my watch fairy (reflection) 🤣
So handsome and I’m sure he gets bigger every time I see him 🤣🐾❤️
Early morning puppies session - Sids taking flight 🤣🤣
Do you have a very energetic pup who would like to join our Tuesday group?
I have 2 spaces for pups aged 6 to 12 months to join us on a Monday morning for a social and razz around.
Ping me a message if you think your pup would enjoy joining us ❤️
As it’s so warm today we’ve decided to have an enrichment visit with Sully 🐾
Here he is enjoying a small handful of his normal dry food - no fancy treats needed.
Like puzzles do for us, canine enrichment offers your dog the opportunity to exercise his brain while also having fun. Just 15 minutes of this activity equates to a 2 hour walk. Canine enrichment can help with a wide variety of behavioral issues including destruction, barking, escaping, anxiety, arousal, hyperactivity, obsessive/compulsive behaviors, and depression just to name a few. 🐾
Happy Monday from Sid & I 😍
Sid has been practising some off lead time with his mummy and today was our first try. Hasn’t he done just amazing. It’s a big thing letting a dog off lead for the first time and you have to be completely confident in doing so.
Well done Sid 🙏🏼♥️🐾
Did you know that Sniffing is hugely beneficial for dogs and essential for their wellbeing.
It's stimulating too - just 20 minutes of sniffing is equivalent to an hour's walk in terms of enrichment for your dog. 'As humans, we are very visual, but for dogs smells are everything.
Us humans are more about the destination, dogs more about the journey.
So next time your out walking with your dog, allow them the time to Sniff. 🐾🐶
Who doesn’t love a muddy puddle 😍
Is it time for me to retire 🤣😍🐾
🤣🐾🐻 oh Charlie, I couldn’t have captured this at a better time 😂
