Meet Lloris and Bibi the lovely collie sisters, double trouble 😁
Typical collies obsessed with herding the groups, balls, sticks, toys. They love a game of fetch and if we don't take a ball they will bring a stick or plastic bottle or a piece of ball they have found, then if you don't play with them they will pick up their treasure and run to a random person, drop it in front of their feet, lie down in waiting. So funny.
They are always in charge as collies often are, the other dogs bow down to the fact that collies are in fact the more intelligent 🤣
They are also obsessed with water and when their parents have put them on a water ban we have to put them on leads as they will travel fields to go get in the water 🙈, we unfortunately cannot run as fast as a collie nor can we outwit one 😃.
We have known these dogs since they were pups and they joined groups at 6 months old. They were such cuties, I think Bibi was naughtier than Lloris though 😉
Lloris is the older wiser sister and Bibi is her young sidekick.
We love walking them but sometimes we feel they are walking us 🤣🤣🤣

Say hello to Sasha basha. She is a Boerbel, which is a Mastiff type breed.
She is soppy and lazy, loves the water and loves to take her time getting up off the sofa, getting her lead on, getting out the house, getting in the van, getting out the van and the duration of the walk 😂
She is a typical mastiff breed as in stubborn, she often lies down when it's home time. She does have a playful side but doesn't last long because she gets tired and lies down 🤣.
Sasha has walked with us for several years since she was under a year old but I met her when she was a diddy pup, she was soooooo cute 🥰
Sasha is a big lollop but we love her 😍

This is Otto the labradoodle. Crazy funny boy he is. Watching him grow from a crazy teenager to an adult dog has been a pleasure. He is still a bit mad and loves to have fun, we love how he plays hide and seek in the woods with the other dogs and chase. He is a born entertainer 🥰. Sometimes he will get a dog to chase him around a tree 20-30 times it's so funny. If he was a human I think he would be the entertainment manager at a holiday resort. We love walking him as he is so much fun but he also knows when to stop and goes off for some sniffs. A great communicator with the other dogs and a good teacher. 😁😊🥰

This is Milo, he is a yellow lab but identifies as a black lab! He loves to play ball, play with the other dogs, sniff around and give cuddles.
Milo used our pup sitting service until he was 6 months old when he then joined the older dogs. His pup sitter would come and meet some of the groups of dogs for 5 mins so he got used to being around other dogs, learn social skills and build his confidence. So when he joined the groups he wasn't overwhelmed or bad mannered.
Milo is 6 now and is a well established adult who now teaches other dogs manners. However still a child at heart and still has to look for every muddy bit of water he can find. This photo is how he usually ends up after a walk much to the walkers despair, even when you avoid the muddy places he still finds them 🙈
Milo likes toast before he goes to bed and cuddles. ❤️

This is Mabel, don't let that sweet look fool you as she bosses it when she is out. No dog challenges her for the ball even big Harv. She is scared of nothing and she loves to play chase with anything, balls, leads, dogs, rabbits, poo bags, yes that's right poo bags she will steal them from your hands and run off with them and you have no chance of getting them back. She has so much fun in a walk that you cannot get her back to put on lead so she always has to have a trailing line, her recall is fab but she stays arms length away to avoid that lead.
She is however a very sweet cuddly girl when she stays still.
Mabel definitely lives life to the full and loves her walks and her friends.

Meet Harvey. He has been walking with us since he was 6 months old and is now 6. We walked his late sister Daisy for many years, I remember when Harvey arrived and Daisy was disgusted 😂 but she learnt to love the big lollop. They used to walk together but became quite naughty so we split them up and they both made their own friends.
Harvey used to be very sociable with other dogs but other dogs used to be horrible to him and when he reached adulthood he started fighting back. So we changed who he walked with and chose dogs that would ignore him or play ball nicely with him. He flourished with those dogs. He absolutely loves the ball and swimming. We petsit him and he is an actual lazy cuddle monster, however he is also a counter surfer 😂
Our walkers love him as he is a character but also very frothy at the mouth, it is so hard to get a decent photo 😁

We are doing dogs profiles and we are starting with our longest serving dog.
This is Ingo the Podenco he has been with us not long after we started ourselves back in 2015.
He was a street dog rescue from Spain and admittedly quite naughty when out, he was used to roaming whenever and wherever he wanted plus he is a hunting breed. So recall was a challenge. We didn't want to take his freedom from him but we also needed him to come back.
We worked with his parents, who I can say worked incredibly hard with him. The wooded areas were the biggest challenge so we avoided them and worked on his recall in open spaces. He had off lead and on lead walks everyday and was rewarded very well by being near the human.
Now he is mostly like velcro but still goes off for a little hunt or chase or sniff but checks in within minutes.
Ingo is everyone's favourite, so popular with all our walkers because he teaches the other dogs manners, communication skills, he is sweet, he is loving, he is funny.
Ingo the veteran, the one to learn from. Is he naughty? Only occasionally when he spots a deer 😂 but comes back within minutes.

Walking times may change due to the temperature changes over the next few weeks. We will start earlier to try to finish before the temps are too high. Walks will more than likely be shorter so a) dogs are not out in the heat too long b) we can get round to all the dogs
Walks will be calm, limited running, shady areas and water led.

Please leave a larger than normal water bowl out for your dogs.
Towels that are damp so dogs can lay on to keep cool.
If you have a fan please leave it on, in the room they sleep.
If they usually stay in a room that gets hot please move their bed to a room that is cool.
Keep your curtains/blinds shut to keep house cooler.
Please follow the temperature guidelines when exercising your dog yourself
DO NOT walk your dog out on paths and concrete in high temperatures as they burn their pads
Use a paw balm like Mushers secret to protect paws
If you're going for a jolly out to a nice quaint town for the day in these temperatures, leave your dog at home it will be way too hot for them, they will prefer to be home cool and bored than out in blistering heat and humidity.
It's not all about the sunshine either, humidity is just as bad. If humidity is high through the night it will not harm your dog to not go out for walks even mega early. We often close when humidity and temperatures are high as not fair to dogs to go out.
Get some enrichment toys prepared for dogs and food filled treats in the freezer ready, like filled kongs, lick mats and filled bones.

I hope these tips help you and your dog through high temperatures and humidity. Remember dogs do not die from not going for a walk but do die from heatstroke.

I get asked this a lot about dog hackles. Also I see many dog owners panic when they see dog hackles. I hope this helps.

So this beautiful girl is leaving us because she is moving with her humans for new adventures. Kali has been a delight, well apart from finding the muddiest water. That happy smiley face will be so missed by our walkers. Good luck Kali and your beautiful family in your new home. Your new walker will be so lucky to walk you, we have been blessed to have our time 🥰🥰🥰
