I received the very sad news yesterday that the lovely Grouse has passed over the rainbow bridge. He was a lovely boy and a very enthusiastic participant in my Hoopers class and a great Super Sniffer. I will miss you big lad. My thoughts and love go out to Brian and Nicola at this sad and difficult time. Rest in Peace and wherever you are keep that big nose sniffing ❤️ xx

We had a lovely time in Cornwall last week especially the boys. We found a dog pool and surprisingly we couldn't get Jimmy out of it!🤣

Please be careful letting your dog go into open water during this hot spell.

⚠️ Be aware of blue-green algae ⚠️
With the hot, sunny weather fast approaching, it's possible for your local streams, lakes, rivers, estuaries and sea to be contaminated with blue-green algae.

Many blue-green algae contain, or make, a number of different toxins. These toxins are often harmful to dogs, and can even be deadly. Dogs are most commonly exposed when swimming, playing in, or drinking from contaminated water. Dogs may lick the contaminated water from their fur and can be poisoned this way.

If you come across a body of water that you think may contain blue-green algae, do not go in it yourself, or let your dog swim in it or drink from it.

Save and share this post to spread the message to other dog-lovers.

THE COURSE IS NOW FULL. (The next one starts in September)
My Beginner Scentwork Course starting Sunday 29th June is nearly full. It is perfect for beginners human and canine to start their scentwork journey, no experience is needed and any breed big or small and any age can take part. Scentwork builds focus and connection with your dog and is also mentally tiring for them. If you would like to enrol on the course or have any questions, please contact [email protected] 🙂

Jimmy has been exposed to horses from an early age and is comfortable around them. If the fence was not there he would certainly be on a lead or if the horses started playing he would be put on lead. However well trained your dog is, never take chances around livestock for your dog's sake and theirs.

🌟Congratulations and well done to my Beginner Scentwork Group! 🌟 I can't believe how quickly the past 6 weeks has flown. It has been a real pleasure working with you and your brilliant dogs. It is especially lovely to see a variety of breeds starting their scentwork journey - such enthusiasm and potential already! Looking forward to seeing you back in class soon. 🐾
