⚠️ New Class Alert ⚠️

Do you live with a Bouncing Bruce or Boisterous Betty?

Has you precious playful puppy just hit it's adolescent stage and left you feeling overwhelmed?

Showing you up in public like the little rebellious bad asses they are?

Thought you knew your puppy but now can not for the life of you understand why you have a baby rhino running around like its just downed a bag of sugar and is screaming at an imaginary squirrel wearing a unicorn outfit?

Let's make those tearaway teenagers into teachable teenagers!

From the 12th July we are starting our Adolescent Dog Training classes, SPECIFICALLY designed for this age group so you can get them back in focus, understand their behaviour and get back on track to that perfect McDreamy Pooch!

Grab your space on the Class on the below link and hurry space is very limited!

If you were in our previous Bronze class....

You'll remember Fozzie.

The nervous pooch, who you couldn't get near and was fear reacting to other dogs.

Look at him go!

Imagine having a long draining day (this update was from about a week ago 🙈), getting in the car from your last job of the day and being sent this short video.... out of the blue.

When I say, I was lifted instanted... I almost jumped out of the car window in excitement and had the biggest smile on my face.

You and Your dogs achievements are to be celebrated 🍾

Whether it's a huge leap in progress or a small step.

Fozzies owners have put so much work into him and we are glad to have been a part of the journey.

Remember

Write off the Bad Days
Celebrate The Good Days.

Because much like humans, dogs can have off days and getting frustrated with it just sets your training back.

Also Mary...... We've never met but thank you for seeing past Fozzie nervousness and allowing him to see he can play and have fun with other dogs.

(If you're in Wakefield, Recognise Fozzies Friend.....Tag the owner we'd like to thank them with a little gift 🎁)

Alright, alright.... so it might seem a little bias considering we offer this service to our local dog owning community of Wakefield.

But here's the truth, hiring a dog walker has some pretty awesome benefits for you and your pooches!

Coming in high at number one!

1 - Socialisation & Stimulation
Whether your dog is happy walking in groups, mixing with other dogs from other households or if they are a lone ranger. They all get a chance to socialise with the outside world whilst also using their super incredible senses to find out what's going on around them.

2 - Behaviour!
Some dogs exhibit boredom behaviours like destruction and that's not good for anyone however a tired dog is a relaxed dog and most of all a happier dog. Walking helps use up that extra energy. Break up their day and help combat those pesky barking, howling, toileting indoors behaviours 💪 (we would however always suggest working wiyj a positive based trainer to help with some of these behaviours.)

3 - Time Vs Life Vs Money
It's 2022 and of course we'd all love to be living the high life but unfortunately the cost of living is on the rise (luckily our dog walking prices are not due to rise any time soon) but for most of us it means working more, longer hours away from home. The last thing you want to be doing is rushing home to see your dog has eliminated everywhere, the neighbours complaining about barking or your favourite throw pillow is 12 million pieces.

Not only that but I bet you've noticed your social life has taken a hit too 😭

4 - Health, Physical and Mental
Dogs need regular exercise to help keep our much loved friend living longer and happier. A dog stuck home for 8 hours is not only likely to suffer with boredom leading to destructive behaviours but it can also be a pretty lonely time for dogs to spend a large proportion of their life isolated.

5 - Peace Of Mind
Hiring a dog walker gives me that stressful peace of mind that your dog is being looked after whilst you're at work. Even if you only have someone come in a few days of the week, knowing your dog is out living their best life with their friends has got to bring some order to your day even if Barry from accountants has just dumped a large pile of files on your desk want them sorted by 3pm or Karen from HR won't shut up about her recent holiday to the Maldives. Kick back and relax because your dog is being cared for.....

There's a new dog on the block.......

Monty joined us for his first walk today, as always any dog joining our group walks stays on their own for a week or so to help them adjust to their new walker.

But he'll no doubt soon be buddying up with friends 😍
