Mizz Pawz - Dog Trainer & Behaviour Professional

I hope everyone is doing ok and there hasn’t been too much damage. Here is a list of companies who can help with storm damage that I have personally used or know people who have used them. Covering north and South Lanarkshire We have had a fence down and neighbours in our estate have also had alot of damage. If you’re needing storm work I’ve made a list of companies/services which can help. Fencing work - Stephen (07708 134526) he’s done my full fencing this year (bar the section that came down!) and he’s in my estate tomorrow looking to replace and repair my old downed fencing and a few neighbours fences. He’s also a qualified joiner as his main profession. Tree work, gardening and landscaping (can also do fencing) - Kevin from Q Gardens (07806 797806). I’ve used his services for years and he’s excellent. He’s out and about tomorrow doing emergency tree work and removals. He’s a qualified tree work and landscaping specialist Roofing - Hillplast Ltd who helped me out earlier this year in the last storms were excellent and great price too. 07899930500 Or Martin Keenan who is a roofer in my estate and I know people here who use him and think highly of him (PM for details)

If you fancy a trip to Troon and want a nice little dog friendly cafe to pop into, then try Drift Coffee and Kitchen on South Beach. Just such a nice atmosphere and super dog friendly. Lovely to go somewhere with the dogs and feel welcomed. The food was fantastic too and the dogs loved it.

Nayla the Bernadoodle doing some woodland off lead training today and she was fab!

Out with Cookie on a solo walk for a change. She loves going to Drumpellier Country park. Usually Dave takes her to his work so I take Oreo but was lovely to be back just cookie and I for a walk and lunch trip.

We are back in action and back to work now after testing negative for Covid finally! I have limited spaces available until the new year so if your looking to start your dogs training or continue your training journey. Get in touch to book your 1-2-1 training session.

Hope you all have a great Halloween and remember people coming to the door in costumes can be scary for your dogs. Make sure you have them in another room when answering the door of safely on the lead.

Another video for you guys to look at. To give you a hint, In this video, cookie has something wrong with one of her legs, can you spot it? Pain in dogs can be hard to spot, a lot of dogs don’t typically display pain. But yet studies show up to 80% of dog behavioural issues can be due to pain. Not all pain can be seen either, such as pancreatic pain, digestive issues, heart issues etc. “ A review of the caseloads of 100 recent dog cases of several authors indicates that a conservative estimate of around a third of referred cases involve some form of painful condition, and in some instances, the figure may be nearly 80%. The relationship is often complex but always logical.” Even if it’s not a current pain dogs also, like humans, can have memory pain too which can created unwanted behaviour and upset to your dog. This is why, with a lot of my cases, I request a vet or physio check. Over the years I’ve gotten good at spotting signs of pain and lameness in dogs. But they should always be checked regularly. I was actually speaking to Nick from Esk Valley Dog Training about this yesterday! Do you know how to recognise pain in your dog? Sudden change of behaviour, excessive licking or chewing, pacing, panting, low mood, sudden onset aggression, shaking, drooling, limping, uneven muscle development, etc. Some common behavioural side effects of pain can be: Touch sensitivity, fear especially around noises, dog or human reactivity, resource guarding, inter household dog fighting, the list goes on! Does you dog have regular check ups at the vet and ideally a good physio? For those who are interested, it’s her back right leg which is delayed and dragging slightly. She was taken to the vet then I also consulted with a very good physio who I regularly recommend to clients Lisa Cleeton,Veterinary Physiotherapy, Spinal Manipulation & Shiatsu https://www.researchgate.net/publication/339424208_Pain_and_Problem_Behavior_in_Cats_and_Dogs#:~:text=A%20revi
