It's always so rewarding when a 4 legged client you haven't seen for a while so excited when you collect for walkies. I've missed you Rodney 🥰

Some really useful information...

Got a reactive dog? Here's how to help them stay calm:

🐶 Know Their Triggers: Identify what sets them off—other dogs, new people, etc. Awareness is key!

🐶 Recognize Their Threshold: Understand the distance where they feel safe. Stay within this 'bubble' to keep them relaxed.

🐶 Read Their Body Language: Subtle signs like lip licking or a stiff posture can signal stress. Act early to avoid reactions.

🐶 Manage Exposure: Limit their interaction with triggers. Adjust walks, use barriers, and set boundaries at home.

If you are struggling to safely maintain your dog – whether in your home or out on a walk – we advise you seek advice from a behaviourist for support.

Leo, is unable to go off lead due to recall but that was not an issue at Grow Walkies 😀 he zoomed around that field having the time of his life for almost an hour, and trying out the equipment. He was shattered by the end 🤣🥰

What a pleasure it was to be asked to walk Faith, for Mia, the wonderful owner of Walk with Mia. Faith is a beautiful soul and I enjoyed our walk together, and seeing a bit of the Buntingford countryside in the sunshine 🌞

Last night, I attended a brilliant webinar called the Summer Dogs Workshop, which was run by the . All sorts of people from different professional backgrounds attended. It was really worthwhile and went over various subjects regarding keeping our pets cool in the heat and how to spot heat exhaustion, as well as what to do in an emergency.
if you go onto their Facebook, Insta or website, you can get details of their next presentation which is upcoming in August I believe.

It was a pleasure to meet Nelly and sit with her for the day. She is a new member of her family and a very timid rescue, who hasn't had the best start to life, so gentle voice, calm movement, and a lot of stroking that beautiful fur whilst she began to trust me. I felt it a privilege when I could see her visibly relax in my company. 🥹
