Very sad to share with you that Pepper crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday.
Pepper was one of my very first doggos that I looked after way back when I started my petcare business in 2009 – you can see on the video how teeny tiny he was with my first dog Murphy.
Pepper often stayed with us, sometimes for the day, often for holidays, and he really was part of our family. He came on holiday with us. He was there when we had to say goodbye to Murph and he was there when we said hello to Bonnie for the first time.
He loved to steal your gloves right off your hands, would sit on your head if there was a thunderstorm and thoroughly enjoyed a good licky plate!
He has spent the last couple of years enjoying life on a farm – what a fabulous 15 years he has had. Sending big hugs to his mum n dad, who absolutely doted on this wonderful boy from day 1.
RIP darling boy, you are very missed.🌈🐾💔
Looks like the pick your own season has started for Bon Bon!!! #naturesmenu #blackberryseason #nomnomnom #springerlove #springerlife #springerspanielworld
Making a start on loose lead walking with adolescent Labradoodle Teddy. #smashedit #dogtrainer #puppytraining #doodlesofinstagram #australianlabradoodle #looseleadwalking
Little woodland play from Dexter and Larry!
So glad Larry is able to play again after having to be restricted for a while due to pain with his hip dysplasia.
Still, making sure he doesn’t overdo it!

Milo enjoyed a little 121 beginners scentwork session today ahead of coming to our Series 2 workshop on Sunday!
We worked on scent ID using a red kong building up to a wee chunk of kong in a tin and he did an awesome job.
Scentwork is an amazing way to use your dogs’ natural skills, it is mentally enriching and as you can see at the end of the video, very tiring!
I will be running some more workshops after the summer so keep your eyes peeled for the dates and ping me an email if you want to go on the wait list.
If you don’t want to wait we can book in some 121’s so just get in touch

2nd walkie of the day was super cool too, no hot dogs here! How are you keeping your dog cool today?
Everyone is home and the rest of the day for my dogs will be sleep, pupsicles, a little bit of scent games if they fancy it later, and more sleep!

❤️ Remembering my big girl Murph on what would have been her birthday today. She was my inspiration to start my pet care business all those 15 years ago and also the reason I had to get stuck into training! She was an amazing dog to learn from ❤️❤️❤️
So proud of what Ollie and his dad have achieved over the course of our training package!
They relocated to the UK, moving from a quiet household to stay temporarily with family in a busy household with dogs and children, something he was not used to.
Ollie was jumping and nipping, over threshold and generally struggling to cope. There was no focus out on walks as people, children, other dogs made him so excited.
We changed a lot of things in his daily routine right from the start, looking at nutrition, exercise, sleep routine etc as part of my holistic approach.
We also put in control and management to make sure everyone was safe.
It is a testament to the work that Ollies pawrent put in that really changed things around for the whole family.
By the end of the programme everything was a lot calmer and Ollie was able to chill with the family.
Great job Team Ollie!
Here’s what the doggos have been up to lately! Hope you all have a great weekend !

So very sad to let you know that our beautiful boy Bertie has passed over the rainbow bridge. Nearly 14, Bertie boo has been part of our K9 family since he was about 5 months old.
Such a loving sweet boy, he loved his walks with the gang, he loved his toys, but mostly he loved to cuddle.
He will be sorely missed by me and his four legged family.
Heartbreaking for his family, we send you all our love.
RIP Bertie 🐾🌈♥️
