Bringing a puppy home is exciting—but it’s also hard work! Meeting their needs goes beyond the basics. Here’s what to focus on for a happy, healthy puppy:

✔️ Plenty of sleep in a safe, comfortable space.
✔️ Fun, interactive toy play to build a bond and redirect biting.
✔️ Short, regular training sessions to teach boundaries and skills.
✔️ Mental enrichment like licking mats, sniffing games, and safe chews.

Consistency and patience are the keys to setting your puppy up for success. If you need support with your pup, send me a message—I'd love to help!

I’m so excited to share that I was a guest on Dr Katrin John’s podcast, The Pet Behaviour Chat! 🎙️

This was my very first podcast episode, and it was an incredible experience discussing a topic that’s close to my heart- the importance of collaboration between trainers and veterinary behaviourists.

Far too often, there’s a divide between these two vital areas of expertise. This disconnect can prevent us from delivering the best possible care for the dogs and families we work with. By sharing our knowledge and working together, we can achieve so much more—improving outcomes, reducing stress, and ultimately putting the welfare of pets at the forefront.

During the episode, Dr Katrin and I spoke about cases we’ve worked on together, what made those collaborations so successful, and why we need to see more of this in our industries. These partnerships are not only rewarding but essential for truly holistic care.

Thank you, Dr Katrin, for inviting me on and for opening up this important conversation. I’m proud to have been a part of it!

With temperatures dropping and snow expected here in Wimbledon, it’s time to protect your dog’s paws from road grit and salt. 🐾

While grit helps keep roads and pavements safe for us, it can irritate your dog’s paw pads and even cause burns or discomfort if they lick it off.

✅ Top Tips:
Rinse or wipe your dog’s paws after every walk.
Use paw balm to create a protective barrier before heading out.
Keep an eye out for signs of irritation like excessive licking or limping.
Let’s keep those paws safe and cosy this winter! ❄️

Spaniel Craig is Ready for His Forever Home! 🏡

This little guy has been such a joy to have in our home. Despite everything he’s been through, including surgery to have one of his eyes removed, Craig’s resilience and sweet nature have truly shone. ❤️

Craig has now had his second vaccination and is ready to start the next chapter of his life. He’s an energetic, loving puppy who thrives on activity and engagement, and he’s always ready for a snuggle once his needs are met. Craig is full of life and will make an amazing addition to an active, loving home.

If you think you could give Craig the safe and caring home he deserves, please contact RSPCA West Sussex for adoption details. Let’s help this amazing boy find his happy ever after!

Please share to help Craig find his family!

Testimonial Thursday! ⭐

Thank you so much to lovely Bailey and guardians for this lovely review- I am so glad you found the training useful! 🥰

The festive season is full of delicious food and sparkly decorations, but some of our favourite Christmas treats can be dangerous for our dogs. Here are a few things to watch out for:

🚫 Chocolate
🚫 Alcohol
🚫 Blue cheese
🚫 Macadamia nuts
🚫 Mince pies
🚫 Decorations (tinsel, baubles, fairy lights)
🚫 Stuffing (especially with onion)
🚫 Christmas pudding or fruitcake
🚫 Cooked Bones
🚫 Grapes

Even small amounts of some of these can cause serious problems, so keep them out of reach and make sure your guests know the rules too! Instead, treat your pup to dog-safe festive snacks or enrichment activities.

Christmas Game Idea: Musical Sits! 🎶

Sometimes we all need a day off from walks—especially on those cold, rainy winter days. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have some festive fun with our dogs at home!

Today, we’ve been playing musical sits to Christmas music, and it’s been a hit (well, for me and the dog… the brussel sprouts we used for “find it” weren’t such a crowd-pleaser for the humans in the house! 😅).

Musical sits is such a simple but fun game for the festive season—it keeps your dog’s brain busy and brings a little Christmas cheer to training time. Give it a go, and let me know if your dog has as much fun with it as we did! 🎅🐾

What festive-themed games are you playing with your dog this December? Let me know in the comments!

The festive season has arrived, and with it comes plenty of festive fun, cosy nights, and maybe a bit of chaos too! Whether you’re focusing on training goals, preparing for a calm Christmas with your dog, or simply soaking up all the special moments, December is the perfect time to reflect and plan ahead.

So, tell me—what are you hoping to achieve with your dog this month? Share your goals in the comments below—I’d love to hear what you’re working on!

Let’s end the year on a high note! 🎅🐶

Taking your dog or puppy to meet Santa at the local garden centre might sound like a fun festive outing, but is it the right choice for your dog? Here's what to consider before booking that visit:
1️⃣ Is your dog comfortable around strangers, loud noises, and busy environments? Meeting Santa often means encountering new sounds, crowds, and even unusual smells (hello, reindeer!). For puppies and less confident dogs, this can quickly become overwhelming.

2️⃣ Garden centres and Santa setups are filled with distractions—bright lights, children running around, and decorations galore. For some dogs, this can be a sensory overload. Ask yourself: Is this environment enjoyable for your dog, or is it more for you?

3️⃣ Remember, your dog’s well-being should always come first. If they seem hesitant or unsure, don’t push them into the situation. Respect their body language and give them the choice to approach or not.

Sometimes, staying home with a festive photo op in the garden or by the tree can be just as fun and much less stressful for everyone! 🎄

Christmas is exciting, but it can also be a lot for puppies to handle! 🎅

Puppies thrive on rhythm and routine, and when that gets disrupted, you might end up with an overtired, bitey pup practicing unwanted behaviours like jumping or chasing the kids.

To avoid overwhelm:
- Set up a quiet rest zone away from the festivities and practice using it ahead of time.
- Stick to routines as much as possible—regular meals, naps, and toilet breaks make a huge difference.
- Don’t pass your puppy around like a Christmas parcel. Let them choose who they want to interact with, and keep greetings gentle and respectful.

By taking these steps, you’ll help your puppy stay calm and enjoy their first Christmas with the family. 🎄

Silly season is officially here! 🎄✨

With Halloween behind us and Christmas fast approaching, we’re diving headfirst into the festive chaos! From firework season to festive gatherings, it’s a time full of fun and excitement—but it can be a lot for our dogs to handle too.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing tips to help you navigate the holidays with your dog or puppy—whether it’s prepping for visitors, managing busy days, or adding a bit of festive fun into training.

Let’s make this season as enjoyable (and stress-free!) as possible for everyone. 🐾

New month, new goals! 🌟

It’s November, and there’s still plenty of time to work on training goals or try something new with your dog. Whether it’s nailing recall, working on loose-lead walking, or just having more fun together, let’s make the most of this month!

What are you hoping to achieve with your dog in November? Share your goals in the comments below, and let’s support each other in reaching them!

It’s too late for full firework desensitisation this year, but there’s still plenty we can do to help our dogs feel safe and secure! 🎇

With firework season around the corner, here are a few tips to keep your dog calm:
- Create a cosy, safe space where they can retreat if they feel overwhelmed.
- Play calming music or white noise to help muffle the sounds.
- Avoid leaving them alone if possible, and keep them indoors during peak firework times.

Remember, it’s never too early to start planning for next year! Desensitisation to firework sounds takes time, so consider beginning gradual sound exposure a few months ahead of next year’s season.

Stay calm, stay prepared, and let’s help our dogs feel secure during the festivities!

Happy Halloween from Adventure Paws! 🎃👻

I hope you and your dog have a safe and spooky day! Remember- a spooky collar or harness can be a simple way to celebrate while keeping your pup happy!

How are you and your dog celebrating Halloween? Share your photos in the comments below!

Halloween costumes can be adorable, but if your puppy hasn’t been taught to comfortably accept having something put on their body, a costume may feel pretty awful to them. 👇

Like anything being put on a dog or pup’s body, they have to learn to enjoy it. Costumes can feel restrictive and uncomfortable, they often have things flapping off them or restrict view.

To a dog, this will feel really unnatural and could scare them. 👎

Before popping them into an outfit, consider if you’ve done the work to teach them to happily accept something on their body, and whether it’s worth the risk for a cute photo of them being scared and potentially never a wanting to accept something that could one day be more vital to their lives, such as a protective gear, something to keep them warm or a harness for safety.

If you’d still like a spooky touch, try something simple like a Halloween-themed collar. It keeps them comfortable while joining in the fun—without the stress of a full costume. 🎃

Remember, costumes often make rustling noises or have attachments that might frighten or frustrate them. 😣

Keeping it simple ensures your pup feels safe and can enjoy Halloween just as much as we do! 👏
