Does anybody else's dog do this.....every time I stand still on the beach Ozzy has to dig around my feet ! It can be a sign of boredom, or pent up energy apparently, personally I think he's just trying to cause mischief by getting me to fall over as I forgot to bring his ball with me 😂 😆 😂

Thank you to everyone that came to the Christmas party last Thursday. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves, it was lovely to see all the dogs together. A very big thank you to the Judge Kathy, she did a wonderful job trying to choose between all your gorgeous dogs. Photos to follow on in the next few days.

I would also like to say a huge thank you to everyone that bought raffle tickets, and to those who donated prizes. Your kind generosity raised £91.50 for Medical Detection Dogs.

Finally I just want to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and I look forward to seeing you all back in classes in January.

Many Thanks

Sharon 🎅🐺🌲🥳

With Christmas literally around the corner please choose your dog's gifts very carefully.

Rawhide chews can be dangerous for dogs and can cause choking, intestinal blockages, and other health problems:

Choking - Strong chewers can break off large pieces of rawhide that can get stuck in a dog's esophagus or digestive tract.

Intestinal blockages - If swallowed, large pieces of rawhide can cause intestinal blockages that can be life-threatening.

Toxic chemicals - Chemicals and preservatives in rawhide can transfer to a dog's digestive system and cause stomach upsets or allergic reactions.

You could consider safer, more digestible alternatives, such as:

Frozen carrots
Pig, cow, or venison ears
Antlers
Himalayan chews
Bully sticks
Tendon chews
Buffalo hooves

I'm sure the majority of you are now aware of the severely bad weather forecast that we have for the next 2 days. Bearing this in mind please think very carefully when considering whether or not to take your dogs for a walk.......
..NO DOG HAS EVER DIED FROM NOT HAVING A WALK !

There are so many things you can do indoors to occupy, stimulate and play with your dog. For example Scentwork, hide your dog's favourite toy, or treats around your home for them to find. Give them a snuffle mat/ball with treats to sniff out. Teach your dog some tricks. My favourite is to cuddle up on the sofa and watch a great film together...as long as your dog can toilet, there are so many things you can do to entertain them indoors.

Please do not risk your own lives, or your dog's by going outdoors if this forecast is as bad as threatened. Stay indoors and stay safe please 💜🐺🙏

With the current cold snap please remember that ROAD GRIT, is made from rock salt, and can be toxic to dogs and cats. Skin irritation: The tiny granules in grit can irritate a dog's paws, especially if they're dry and cracked. Ingestion: If a dog licks or chews grit off their paws, it can cause vomiting, lethargy, and in severe cases kidney damage. Burns: The chemicals in grit can burn a dog. To protect your dog, you can: Avoid gritted areas: Avoid walking your dog in areas where the snow has been gritted. Wash your dog's paws: Wash your dog's paws with warm soapy water after each walk. Apply paw balm: Rub some paw balm on your dog's paws before walking on snow or ice. Reapply the balm after returning from walks. Trim fur: Trim your dog's fur between their toes and around their pads, esp if they are a long haired breed. Wipe your dog: Wipe your dog's feet, fur, and tummy after they've been outside. Dog Bootees : Harsh surfaces like icy sidewalks, rough trails, and sharp rocks can cause cuts, abrasions, and even cracks on your dog's paw pads. Dog boots provide a protective barrier, safeguarding their paws (Ozzy has some lol). If your dog is showing signs of having ingested road grit, such as increased thirst, vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, or loss of appetite, you should contact your vet for advice.

For people who remember my posts about little Teddy, the cavapoo who is in training to become an assistance dog...this is a video of this mornings training session at a local supermarket. He's only 9 months old and doing so well, very little phases him. Video shared with permission from his servant Janine 😁🐺🤩

Raffa’s Rascals

My name is Sharon and I have had dogs in my family all my life, ranging from a black Labrador, to Cocker Spaniels and German Shepherds. I have been working with dogs and been a dog trainer for over 11 years and I love every minute of it. My business has been named after my beloved GSD Raffa (pictured above), who I lost very suddenly on 3rd July, 2018 aged just over 13 years old. He was a fabulous dog and is missed dearly. I hope to work with you to create, improve or witness the fantastic bond you have with your 4 legged best friends.
