I know my page is generally all happy happy but today I've something important to discuss and inform.

I shall be leaving new terms and conditions for every dog walking client next week. I simply cannot keep going with so much disorganisation.

72 hours notice will now ne required to cancel walks or full charge will be made.

I need to know by Sunday afternoon/Monday morning latest as to what you and your pooch require that week.

5 days a week is discounted. If 5 days are not used the walk will change to Β£10 per walk for the remainder of the week.

If your dog isn't walked with us a minimum of 1 walk a week , we will not hold the slot anymore. In the same breath if we start seeing massive gaps in between regular walks and behaviour issues alongside it. We will again end the walking.

Noone sees what happens behind the scenes of planning care for upto 30 dogs. I can assure you an awful lot goes into planning and it's totally unfair to not consider us too and the other dogs! 2 dogs missed out today due to all the lack of communication.

Communication is a great tool.

Rant over but I can assure all that this is not only set in stone I've added concrete on it too.

Many thanks and as always I truly appreciate your support. It doesn't apply to everyone no but unfortunately I have to set it now before I loose my mind.

Morning........ thought I'd throw this out there a meeting/ dick around between tramp and Ralph.

Now we know both dogs and trust 1 totally.

The white guy is tramp. Look at his tail wagging like crazy but I can assure you this guy isn't going to play. So many people assume wagging tail means happy.

It doesn't. Wagging tail in this video means I'm OK with you but il boss I'm holding my ground. Look how Ralph the German pointer goes beyond silly to try lure him in. And then how our bertie comes in and ends it!

Wagging tails isn't always play mode. Watch the other body movements, stiff body, head up no eye contact.

It's a good job big uncle Ralph is the best at communicating. He knows not to push it.

This year Mr Ralph is coming back -2 ⚽️⚽️ 😳😳. So I'm pretty sure we'll be starting from scratch with him. Drumming out all those testosterone fuelled bad habits!

But I'm soooo excited. Can't wait to see ludos face when he's gets to speak to Duke in the van! 😁😁😁

Our bertie being truly Yorkshire tipping his hat to the weekend.

I just can't cope with how cute he is, nearly 2 years with us bertie and we absolutely adore your ridiculous daftness.πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

Named as 1 of the most untrainable breeds, not here. Our bertie has taken our life in his stride. From being an only dog on 1 walk a day, didn't eat dog food and ate everything on sight (through boredom) he has done amazing.

I truly love berts but he is stupid,!!,☺️☺️

The age old question.... I'm probably asked daily. "Is it OK for my dog to be on the sofa?"

Real easy..... of course if behaviour is good.

If your dog's jumping all over you, kicking you, licking your ears demanding all space..... then NO!

It's a privilege. If a dogs growls at me on any occasion because I've had to move them. They DO NOT go on the sofa under any circumstances. Challenging behaviour is never or should never be accepted.

Privileges need to be earned. Not expected. My dog sleeps right next to me. But she knows her boundaries. Of course she tries at times, they all do. But boundaries are just that.... boundaries. ☺️☺️☺️

Not just 1 but 2 newbies joined us today. The little springer luna and the lovely cockerpoo Jimmy ❀️🐢❀️.

It's not often I take on newbies but I cannot help but be super super impressed with the one's who made it through my barriers, your about to become exceptional 😁😁.

Now I understand that people start their marketing strategies ref 2025 but honestly the mere fact I've had to buy a 2025 diary in June would and should tell you to get those bookings in......

Also as you can see...... not a gravestone in sight πŸ˜‰πŸ™„πŸ˜‰πŸ™„. I take my job seriously. If your dog is alone from am to pm its our responsibility to give them something to look forward too. I take that and petpaws very seriously.

Louisa hammond weir

It's been brought to my attention that due to a dog walking company causing neighbourhood problems due to walking 10 dogs through a churchyard our name was banded on a site as doing the same!

I see no post but can imagine the said person knows what liable is. Don't forget that word please and don't tar us with the same brush!!

We do not disrespect our churchyards we opt for huge fields and freedom.

Do not mention my company in the same breath. If it happens again I've asked everyone to screenshot it so I have evidence. Liable!!!!!

Non of my pictures involve gravestones more trees and rivers. We would never do this.

So today we got the absolute pleasure of woody joining our gang.

I was dubious as I'd heard he's not been the easiest to get out of the house.... in I go! Through all the growling I realised he's just a scared boy who needs to be led. Confidence won him round and as you can see he's slotted in just lovely. Drew and Rosie posing with him.

Woody is the blonde curly lad.

It's not all unicorns and rainbow's in the dog world but your in trouble if you can't tell fear from aggression and hold your own on both.

Anyway woody is in!!! Alongside little gus who is also doing so well.🀎🀎🀎.

To me " off lead dogs" are a privilege. A privilege that is earned. Worked on and constantly trained on. Something that we are always doing and reinforcing. Off lead my dogs are yes but most definitely with me or just a call away.

We may walk groups of dogs but we are respectful enough to avoid issues. And most people. I decide if we need to meet not the dogs.

But it does not mean you can just allow your off lead dog to come charging at us with absolutely no call back at all!! In its aggressive tone being led by a moron.

When I meet clients/friends I gain their trust. I want them to trust I have your dog's care first and foremost and others dogs too. And while my name is on my business insurance I see it as my call.

I probably dont even have to say this mans name as most of dewsbury knows him!! But i am sick of you.

You can call me as many (c u next tuesdays) as you want πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…. Water off a ducks back . But I will not have you dictate to me and my dogs as to what is safe and acceptable. When you are so clueless.

If my customers want a dog that finds it OK to never be with its owner and run to anyone around..... I'm pretty sure they would call you.

I assume they don't as they use me!!

There isn't a xl bully on this planet with the balls I have to protect my pack! Not 1.

You will never find a person more into off lead than me. But it has to be a privilege that a dog earns.

I ended up saying the wrong thing on fb the other night ref another company. And when the poor lass came on to explain why they have to stay away because of off lead dogs and no control I totally got it!

We are in charge of other people's dogs. We have a high responsibility to those dogs and our customers. It isn't upto anyone else how I choose to keep all safe!!.

It's been really rather emotional to be honest. Not eaten in over a week, coughed so much I've lost a filling and temperatures that could only be reached in the pits of hell !! πŸ™„πŸ™„.

But after 2/3 days of steroids and antibiotics I'm up and had a lovely chip butties for tea, beautiful 😍.

See you all tomorrow. Services are still limited....
1 service is still unavailable and its the following

I'm out. I'm down. My whole household is now ill. Except the child whose now all better again πŸ™„πŸ™„.

I got ill at crufts (so sorry nikki) and notodogmeat . I've tried to carry on, I can't. I will be off definitely today and probably tomorrow. I'm so sorry to ley for crying on her this week too. I'm pretty pathetic when proper ill.

Everyone who is thinking of getting dogs should read this because you need to understand this reality:

***I am a 21st century dog.***
-I'm a Malinois.
Overskilled among dogs, I excel in all disciplines and I'm always ready to work: I NEED to work.
But nowadays I get asked to chill on the couch all day everyday.

-I am an Akita Inu.
My ancestors were selected for dog fighting.
Today I get asked to be tolerant and I get scolded for my reactivity when another approaches me.

-I am a Beagle.
When I chase my prey, I raise my voice so the hunters could follow.
Today they put an electric collar on me to shut up, and you make me come back to you - no running - with a snap of your fingers.

-I am a Yorkshire Terrier.
I was a terrifying rat hunter in English mines.
Today they think I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

-I'm a Labrador Retriever.
My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back the duck he shot to my master.
Today you forget I'm a walking, running, swimming dog; as a result I'm fat, made to stay indoors, and to babysit.

-I am a Jack Russell.
I can take on a fox, a mean badger, and a rat bigger than me in his den.
Today I get scolded for my character and high energy, and forced to turn into a quiet living room dog.

-I am a Siberian Husky.
Experienced the great, wide open spaces of Northern Europe, where I could drag sleds for long distances at impressive speeds.
Today I only have the walls of the house or small garden as a horizon, and the holes I dig in the ground just to release energy and frustration, trying to stay sane.

-I am a border collie
I was made to work hours a day in partnershipwith my master, and I am an unmistakable artist of working with the herd.
Today they are mad at me because, for lack of sheep, I try to check bikes, cars, children in the house and everything in motion.

I am ...
I am a 21st century dog.
I'm pretty, I'm alert, I'm obedient, I stay in a bag...but I'm also an individual who, from centuries of training, needs to express my instincts, and I am *not* suited for the sedentary life you'd want me to lead.
Spending eight hours a day alone in the house or in the garden - with no work and no one to play or run with, seeing you for a short time in the evening when you get home, and only getting a small toilet walk will make me deeply unhappy.
I'll express it by barking all day, turning your yard into a minefield, doing my needs indoors, being unmanageable the rare times I'll find myself outside, and sometimes spending my days sunk, sad, lonely, and depressed, on my pillow.
You may think that I should be happy to be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work, but actually I’ll be exhausted and frustrated, because this is absolutely NOT what I'm meant to do, or what I need to be doing.
If you love me, if you've always dreamed of me, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athletic look make you want me, but you can't give me a real dog's life, a life that's really worth living according to my breed, and if you can't offer me the job that my genes are asking, DO NOT buy or adopt me!
If you like the way I look but aren't willing to accept my temperament, gifts, and traits derived from long genetic selection, and you think you can change them with only your good will, then DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT ME.
I’m a dog from the 21st century, yes, but deep inside me, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who guided and protected a herd still lives within.
So think **very** carefully before you choose your dog. And think about getting two, rather than one, so I won't be so very lonely waiting for you all day. Eight or ten hours is just a workday to you, but it's an eternity for me to be alone.

PETPAWS:- LICENCE NUMBER ABE/130201902172. Highest Standards.

My passion has always been with animals and my career has followed the same path. After working at the Cats Protection League in Ashbourne Derby, for many years I moved back to Yorkshire and grew PassionatePetPaws.

The courses below are what have been completed so far and are the start of an obsession.
