Let's go have some fun and achieve those dreams you have with your dog!" - Jo

It's been such a gorgeous week catching up with friends and incredible dog businesses who I've known for years but not seen since we moved....I'm looking especially at you The Dog House. Luxury Dog Grooming & Canine Spa 🥰 I've always loved the work Anna and her team do and I've missed you!👌 Today, I got to meet another amazing dog business and total like-minded soul, who I never actually knew before we moved away... K9 Country Club - Secure Dog Walking Field. Hannah runs a grooming salon, daycare and secure dog walking field at her amazing pad in Gaddesby and she runs them all exactly how I always hope they would be run...with a LOT of love and care and understanding of how things should be done in the best interests of dogs and their owners. She is on holiday this week so I got to meet her Alpacas instead of dogs who are AMAZING! 😍 So excited to meet you and expand our network in Leicestershire and Rutland! 🤎🐾🤎

Happy Father's Day to all the dads in whatever shape or form that comes in 🤎 No, we're not back in Norfolk, I just seem to only really have photos of the dog and not the other half 🤣 🐾

What a whirlwind week so far! Managed to get moved with a LOT of help from family and friends who we will never ever be able to thank enough 🥰 Still trying to find clothes in boxes, work out the quirks of the house, get the house clean and ordered and get on top of a LOT of growth in the garden. But we are home in Leicestershire and it feels so good! And we have internet again 🥳 Poor Mags has had a rubbish week whilst we get sorted. She's being very patient bless her heart and she seems to have settled far quicker than I thought. The walks from our house are unbelievable...when we get time for them! I've told her next week will be a better week. Work enquiries coming through but another week off yet to get more sorted. The in-laws have been incredible helping us 😘 Hey Leicestershire...we haven't half missed you 🤎🐾🤎

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟

After an amazing year of living in and running my dog training business here in Norfolk, it's time for a change again! Due to the other half's job change, we are moving back over to Leicestershire 🥰

Norfolk, you have been incredible! From the picturesque landscapes to the amazing community, every moment here has been cherished. I am forever grateful for your support and the countless beautiful dogs I have had the privilege to work with along the way. I have made so many friends and I've had the most incredible support from other dog businesses who welcomed me with open arms and made me feel so supported...yes I'm looking at you Fran Woodbine, Di Holden with , Jacqui's dog walks and pet care and 😘

Leicestershire, I really can’t wait to be back! We won't be quite in the same area as before, so things will be quite new for us...another little adventure! I can't wait to see you all again 🤎 The best news is that a number of my Norfolk clients are booked in to keep training with me in Leicestershire and I've got sessions booked with my old Leicestershire clients too...so if you want help to train your dog, please do get in touch as spaces are filling fast!

Stay tuned for updates! I'll be offline for a few days whilst we get moved, settled in and connected to the internet! Norfolk, thank you for being part of my journey, I'll be back for the beach for sure!🐾❤️🐾

She's only gone and graduated from puppy training foundations 🥰 Beautiful, beautiful Dakota has been the biggest dream and so have her team who have put in all the effort with her training 💪 She's sociable, confident, hilarious and happy and learning all of her new skills beautifully. We even got her deep in water for the first time today 💦 A huge well done to you all, I've loved every second and you must be so proud of yourselves! Here's to a beautiful future together! 🤎🐾🤎

Molly graduated a few weeks ago from training but she loved it so much, she had to have more 🥰 She used to react to everything and now she is a completely different dog! Her team used to dread walking her and now they can't wait to go out all together every day 🥳 I absolutely adore this team, they've dug into the training, put it into action and are reaping the rewards 💪 Molly's brother Riggs has come along for the ride too. Happiest dogs, happiest trainer! 😍🤎🐾

Having a puppy isn't all buttercups and daisies...but having a well trained one is 🥰 Paddy graduated today and he's going to be practicing, practicing, practicing all his new skills because practice makes perfect! Not that he isn't perfect already, I mean, look at him 😍 Well done to this team, you have a really exciting and beautiful future ahead of you! 🤎🐾🤎

I am infinitely relieved that I taught my dog to 'switch off' at home. This has basically been my view for the last few days whilst I'm laid up with this awful cold/flu type thing that's going round 🤒 My dog doesn't expect me to entertain her 24/7 and she will do her own thing or just chill out when I'm not able to do anything with her ... even when she's not had a walk ... which has been a godsend this last week! Does your dog chill at home too when you need it? 🥰

Is your dog a flatcoat? That is the question.

As in, that is the question I get asked pretty much every day. So someone tell me, what is it about her maybe being a flatcoat that makes EVERYONE ask if she's a flatcoat or not? Why does that breed spark that question in people??

I mean, I never hear people ask Labrador owners if it's a Labrador, or collie owners if it's a collie, so why flatcoat? I NEED TO KNOW 🤣

Anyone else get asked this daily? What breed have you got if you do? What breed gets guessed most often?

No, she's not a flatcoat 🤦‍♀️

I need to come up with some witty and hilarious line to respond with, but half the time now I just say yes. It's much easier 🤣🐾😍

Happiness is training in the evening sunshine and learning that scary things aren't so scary anymore 🥰 It's good to have Melody back in full fitness after her recent op and cracking on with helping her feel happier about life outdoors. She did absolutely amazingly tonight. The happiest of happy girls 🤎😍🐾

Seven months ago I met this beautiful boy who had just been rescued by his dad. He was wild, manic, chaotic and to be honest, completely lost. Seven months on and my heart bursts at watching them today. The growth. The bond. The trust. The understanding. The learning...my word the learning they've done together and the incredible progress they've made as a team to the point that people comment on how good he is outside is just, well, there are no words really. It's everything. It's been a journey for sure and a beautiful testament to how much training with trust, compassion, kindness and understanding changes lives. As well as what patience and dedication can do to achieve your goals with your dog. My heart was bursting watching them today.
The only thing we've not been able to train is that little bit of spikey hair on the top of his head to lay flat (second pic) 🤣 Not that we'd ever want to of course 🥰
Team Sammy, you're absolute stars and he graduates today on an absolute high! I am so, so incredibly proud 🤎

Little Paddy is coming along beautifully with his puppy training 🥰 One focus is to teach him not to jump all over people which is something he loves to do 🤦‍♀️ He's trying really, really hard to learn not to 💪 Such a happy sweet boy 🤎😍🤎

Oh gosh, this is just absolutely everything to me. Happy people, happy dogs, happy lives. That's what it's ALL about. THANK YOU so much Team Molly for such lovely words and for all the hard work you put in with training. It's all about teamwork after all and I am so proud of the progress your beautiful dogs have made and have loved every second with you all. Onwards and upwards team Molly! 🤎🐾🤎

02/05/2024

So we thought, if there's one place to test Molly's learning for her final session, it's the beach. "Molly our screaming lab" was the opening line to team Molly's email enquiry originally. Molly would scream on every walk at EVERY thing, particularly dogs and at 11 years young she was, let's say, well versed in this.

Five sessions later and some seriously hard graft by her team in training her, off to the beach we go.

Not a single scream. Not one. Nothing. Silence.

Complete engagement with us, happy as larry training and loving life. I could not be prouder! It actually makes me well up seeing what an incredible job this team have done and what a difference there is in Molly. Older brother Riggs came along too as he's been picking up on training skills along the way. He also smashed it. I am SO happy!

Congratulations to this team, your dedication to training is incredible and you've been the biggest joy to work with. I'm going to rename Molly, "Molly your silent lab." 🥰🥳💪
