Day one of my week off and I’ve been washing all the dog towels, jackets, leads and toys ready for next week 😂

It’s let’s see all your amazing dogs!! Post them in the comments.

The girls had a soggy day wandering round Historic Scotlands, Doune Castle. This beautiful site was the filming location for Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Winterfell in GOT and Castle Loech in Outlander. We would definitely recommend a visit. Although the castle itself isn’t dog friendly the grounds are fab for a walk.

Thanks to Catherine, Bonnie has had 3 days without shaky legs. Due to pain and arthritis Bonnie’s legs shake. We tried librela but unfortunately didn’t do much for her. She is on a range of supplements and pain management to help support her joints. Regular massage with Catherine gives Bonnie the relief she needs to live her best life.

I would 110% recommend Kirsty and Ryan! I am full for walks and this is where I’d normally signpost people too!

Hi all!

Ryan is now offering group walks 🙌🏻

Ryan has focused on solo walks since we started in 2022. He’s got a lot of hands on experience with a variety of reactive, anxious and excitable dogs.
He’s now kitted out his van with crates from Gorilla Fabrication ltd and is ready to start taking on his own group walk clients.

We specialise in small, compatible groups of up to 5 dogs. Your dog will get a 1hr walk that not only includes physical exercise but also mental stimulation and socialisation with other dogs in the group.

This is the perfect time to get in touch if you have been looking for a dog walker as Ryan will be creating groups around first come first served! ✨

Kirsty also has the odd space here and there to fill, she’s just waiting for the right fit in certain groups 🐾

We are:
✅ DBS checked
✅ Insured
✅ First Aid Trained
✅ Non-aversive
✅ Kirsty has an IMDT professional dog walker certification (Ryan is doing his course in October ⏳✨)

We’re actively working through dog trainer and dog behaviour related courses & webinars with IMDT so our knowledge is always expanding!

Bonnie misses the sunshine, we all miss the sunshine. This girl is a one and a million dog and her smile brightens up everyone’s day!!

When the weather is so wet even the fluffy dogs don’t want to be out in it 😂

So many happy faces. We love our friends at Scottish Chow Rescue. Keep being amazing 🤩

It’s that time of year again and just to give you all peace of mind my insurance is renewed for another year. Often I see people over the summer trying to earn some extra cash by dog walking. And I think it’s great that they are interested in the industry and are entrepreneurial. But with dogs things can change quickly. Dogs can become unwell, slip out collars or worse. Please when choosing someone to look after your pups please make sure they are at least insured just in case. It’s also a bonus to have pet first aid (I also do this annually) and some experience in dog behaviour (I have more diplomas in dog training and behaviour that I care to admit. At this point it looks like an addiction 😂). It just helps to keep everyone safe.

Does your dog need a boost in confidence or help socialising? Then our ‘social walks’ class on a Monday Evening is just for them. We will visit different places across Ayrshire to help introduce our dogs to new people, dogs and situations. This helps them become more confident and can improve their quality of life.

Our wee Muddy mutts Flyball team are more than just a team. We help each other through tough times, celebrate the good times together and have became a beautiful and diverse wee family. Thank you Martyn T. Cain Photographer for capturing these beautiful moments. We love having you in our family 💟

Catherine works wonders on my girls. Definitely helps with their arthritis.

Bonnie came for her maintenance session yesterday. Look how clever she is administering her own Photizo UK - LED Light Therapy Devices infra red light therapy. Just as well she can't massage herself too!!

When training doesn’t go to plan….. 😂 oh Bonnie. ‼️barking‼️

Spaces are filling up. A class to help socialise dogs. First class is in Kilmarnock.

What is our social walks class?

‘Social walks’ is a relaxed but structured dog walk in different environments to help socialise our dogs. In these classes our dogs will get a chance to meet new dogs, people and places that could be a little scary. Using games and reward based training we will help our dogs be more confident and adapt to new situations. This class is ideal for nervous dogs who need some extra support when out and about in the big wide world. These will be rolling classes so no need to book a block, just book in when you want to join us. But make sure you book as spaces are limited and filling up each week.

Everyone loves my job in the summer, and so do I but if the Scottish weather could remember it’s summer that’d be great!! If your dog is out with me for walks could you leave out their jackets if they have one. Don’t worry I have spares if needed. It means I can spend less time washing and drying all the pups and more time having fun with them. Thanks

Skittles loved seeing the vets from Armour Veterinary Group yesterday at Dumfries House. This helps her build confidence with the vet team outwith the surgery and can make vet visits more manageable.
