So we have a new website which has just been launched https://happyhoundsuppingham.co.uk/ 🥳🥳🥳

A big thank you to Dane (https://daneborrell.com/) for all of your hard work. I am delighted with the new website and also to get rid of the clunky one I built four years ago 😀

Dog day care, dog walking and lots more in the beautiful town of Uppingham, Rutland.

I think it’s safe to say this week’s enrichment of the week - ‘enrichment extravaganza’ is a huge hit.

This activity is a box filled with blankets, towels, a dog bed, toys and a licki matt (with a tiny bit of peanut butter spread on it). We then hide a few sprats and treats inside. It has kept the doggies entertained and happy for ages! If the dog is an excellent sniffer we roll up the treats inside the towels in the box.

A big well done to Ella (who works in the daycare) who is the mastermind behind this week’s enrichment 👏

So, because I am old I literally know nothing about TikTok! However, the amazing Ella, who works in day care has created an account for us (.hounds.uppingham) and created this video (which looks like some form of magical wizardry to me). Great work Ella 👏

Day 4 of the Olympics at Happy Hounds Uppingham and our competitors didn’t disappoint. It was claw biting stuff as four dogs were in joint first place with one event to go!

🥈= Pablo

Today’s Olympics was a hotly contested event (and not just the weather ☀️) with all competitors amazing us with their skills. A huge well done to all doggies and congratulations to our medalists:

🥇= Bee
🥈= Pablo
🥉= Wilson/Laika

P.S. we didn’t dress the dogs up for the awards ceremony, they are wearing cooling jackets 😃

Another gorgeous Olympic themed day ☀️

We completed the events early on to beat the heat and the competitors then enjoyed an afternoon of paddling pools and well deserved iced treats. A huge well done to all of our doggy athletes and of course our medal winners:

🥇= Max
🥈= Tia
🥉= Pablo/Rowan

🥉= Lola

We can’t wait to do it again tomorrow 😀

Loving the new additions at Unleashed in Uppingham. This field just keeps getting better and better 😀

Today is National Dog Photography Day. Photographs are such an important part of Happy Hounds Uppingham as they enable us to send detailed reports at the end of each service. Here is one of my favourite pictures of my boys, Max and Bailey. Feel free to add your favourite picture of your dog below 🐶📸

That ‘sit and wait’ training we have been working on in day care is really starting to pay off 😀

13/07/2024

Every week we try and do a new enrichment activity with the doggies in our day care. It’s so interesting to see what they do and don’t love doing. We did ‘foraging for treats’ a few weeks ago and it has been such a big hit we have done it every day since. Am yet to find a dog who doesn’t love it 😀

C’mon England ⚽️🐶

Due to high demand I have decided to open the day care this Saturday (13th). I have a couple of spaces left if any current day care customers would like to book on. First come, first served 😀

I think it’s safe to say the water activities went down a treat at day care today 😀💦

Just a few photos of a lovely Wednesday at Happy Hounds Uppingham. How lucky am I that I love every moment of my job? 💕

So ‘Lamb Chew Lucky Dip’ is progressing well 😂 I just love dogs so much, there is never a dull moment 😂

This week’s enrichment of the week in the day care is going down a storm 😀

Happy Friday everyone. And what a glorious one it is 😀

This week’s enrichment ‘Egg Box Challenge’ in the day care has been going down a storm. It’s amazing how a few sprats in a closed egg box can keep a dog busy. Really interesting to see who works out how to open the box gently and who shreds it. We don’t mind either way 😀

‘What do you mean you would like me to jump over this. I would prefer to stand here and pose’ 😂
