These two little learners who have signed up for my Puppy coaching programme.

This entails 4x 121 sessions where we meet at home and out and about to cover all aspects of life skills.

Unbelievably cute and switched on! 🤓

More superstars enrolled in my latest puppy class. ✨

So far we've had some fun enrichment activities, been working on how to build engagement and recall foundations.

Aren't they a bonnie bunch!

Hello, So I'm finally getting around to posting some updates on here after a really tough couple of weeks.

Thanks everyone for being patient with me while I'm grieving. Life is pretty rubbish right now but it's lovely to have so many supportive clients 🙏🏻 I really appreciate it.

These guys graduated from puppy class last week and wow what a crew! ✨

It was an absolute joy getting to know them and watching them flourish. Their lovely humans have and are continuing to put in so much work with them to help set them up for success. Super work all round.

Well done guys! 🧡🤍💛

Pip you were the ultimate trooper.
From unforgivable cruel beginnings, you overcame trauma and didn't look back. You were able to trust again. Amazingly brave and stoic.
I am eternally grateful to all that you taught me.
The companionship, the support and years of wonderful memories we made.
You gave this your absolute all to which I am so proud. I will miss you beyond words but you can now run free with Misty.
You were one in a million, my special soul boy. 💔💟💔

Pip update - His condition is Immune-mediated. It's too early to know just now if the steroids and antibiotics are working so he's back to vet Thursday for another blood test to see how his body is responding.

So it's a take it day at a time situation, monitoring for any changes and keeping him as comfortable as possible. His happiness and well-being is my only priority.

I'm aware his future is not looking too bright but I could really do with everyone's positive vibes to make sure his next bloods show a little hope for us. 🙏🏻 🐾

Thanks for being understanding while I reschedule appointments and am slowly catching up with messages.

Just to let everyone know, Pip is seriously unwell. His blood work shows Autoimmune disease. We are awaiting further blood results to see where we go from here, but prognosis is not good as he has severe bruising and loss of appetite. He is on steroids and back to vet Monday so all I can do is wait.

As most of you know, it's been just under 2 months since I lost Misty, so to say I'm devastated is an understatement.

Please don't expect a quick response from me as I try to get my head straight.💔 🙏🏻

We kicked off our new puppy class with these absolute beauties last night. ⭐ ⭐⭐

Due to the horrendous weather we had to change to our indoor venue last minute but they absolutely rocked it. 🥳

We engaged those curious noses with some enrichment to help settle them in and then worked on some focus activities.

I can't wait to watch them grow. 🌻

Well done lovely learners.

08/07/2024

Happy Monday everyone! ✨

Here's some of my wonderful clients, old and new. 💫

Looking forward to the week ahead!

Hello you wonderful dog people.

I get so many people asking about puppy class so this is a reminder that...

I have one space left for my next block this Tuesday 9th at 7pm Kirkgunzeon. 😀

I appreciate it's the school holidays now but I'm certain there's someone out there with a pup that can make it on Tues or knows someone that may be keen!

Message me for details.

Please share ❤️ 🙏🏻 thank you

04/07/2024

First time back at the field for Pip without his big sister to round up.

It feels very strange just having one dog now. And when you've been used to a larger than life, vocal terrier, it is horribly quiet.

We miss her SO much but we had fun with his ball and just enjoying some relaxed quality time together. 💟

I'm sure when the time is right we will be ready to welcome another beautiful soul into our hearts.

03/07/2024

Availability at my latest puppy class. Drop me a message for full details 🥰

We will be covering:
🐾Engagement
🐾Recall
🐾Lead skills
🐾Socialisation
AND MUCH MORE! 🐕

When you can't rely on the consistency of the weather... At least there's dogs. 🌟

My key factors that are fundamental for happy relationship with your dog are:
🐾 Trust
🐾 Understanding
🐾 Patience
🐾 Commitment
🐾 Fun

If you would like to learn more about your dog's behaviour and brush up on your handling skills, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I use science-basesd training methods that take into account individuality and ethics.

Cute or what?! 😬

Another gorgeous newbie has started his coaching journey with me and what a little cracker he is!

It was great getting to meet him and his lovely human for our first coaching session today!

What a fantastic time we had on Sunday at the big Doggy Day Out! 🐾

Myself and the wonderful Kara from were judging the fun classes and what an extremely tough job we had choosing winners! So many amazing dogs! They are all true winners! 💗

A shout out to all who helped organise it, had stalls and those dogs and humans who came supported the event! ⭐ 👏🏻
Proceeds raised were split between
Dumfriesshire and Cumbria Greyhound Rescue
The Maggie Fleming Animal Hospice and The Karass Sanctuary
Canine Arthritis Management

It's always so lovely being part of such a supportive community of fellow dog lovers and professionals. Big thanks to these awesome ladies for their continued support and friendship!

Rain, what rain?! 😬

This little rocket had lots of fun brushing up on her recall skills today despite the Scottish summer!

Well done super paws!🚀

Best friends learning together! 🥰

These eager little learners have been laying the foundations for a solid relationship built on trust.💜

If you would like to enroll on some 121 sessions for dogs (and humans!) of all ages drop me a message! 🐾

10/06/2024

📣 Puppy classes and 121sessions. 😀

I often get people saying they are looking for classes because they want to socialise their pups.
Whilst classes are a great opportunity to meet other pups please remember that during my 121 sessions we cover lots of appropriate socialisation.

✅We meet in different environments such as parks, woods, beaches, towns with a range of different stimuli for a real life learning experience.

✅ I use mature, calm dogs to teach pups vital social skills that they may not learn from other pups their own age.

I also have some clients who enroll in both.This can help them get the best of both experiences!

Both my classes and 121sessions are centered around understanding your dog's individual needs and making their experience as fun and stress free as possible!

Drop me an email for full details or to have a chat about what may suit you and your pup best. 🐾

June stars 🌼

Some of you may have noticed I've had a little break from social media whilst I've been getting used to life without my wee bestie. But I'm trying to get back to posting more on here and sharing some updates 🐶.

Thanks to all my wonderful clients who have been so thoughtful and supportive lately, it's much appreciated.

Keep your eyes peeled for puppy class dates and don't forget I'm available for 121 sessions. 🐾

Today my world crumbled. I said goodbye to my best friend. My absolute rock.
Misty you were everything to me.

You left a lasting memory on everyone who met you. Life will never be the same without you. But I am beyond grateful for getting to share part of my life with you and for all the love and support you gave me.
You really were one in a million. Sleep tight my little Moo.💜

21/05/2024

Thanks everyone for your kind messages and thoughts. I really appreciate all your support. 💗 Also for being so understanding about appointments.

A little update-
Misty is eating and enjoying her little outings so as long as she isn't showing signs of discomfort I will continue to take each day as it comes and spoil my girl while I can. We don't know how long she has so right now it's just about making sure she is happy.💎 🐾✨

Although there may be a wee delay in responding to messages, I will get back to you.🙏🏻

17/05/2024

Please bear with me over the next wee while I am coming to terms with some really bad news from the vets about Misty my absolute rock.

I am uncertain at the moment how long we have left and I'm having to take it a day at a time before I have to make a big decision which I know isn't far off.💔

Absolutely heartbroken and overwhelmed at the moment so I will respond to messages when I have some head space.

Thanks for understanding.
