The Pram Saga - Why I've got a pram when we don't NEED it right now. Much much more to come on this, including how we make and implement a training plan to best set us up for success 💛

A thought from the human of a senior dog who will never be left behind I’m sure he needs no introduction, but for those who don’t know, this is Skeeter, my BFF. A brief history for you, he’s a Jack…

Yesterday we had the pleasure of being invited to the new My Dog Meadow enclosed woodland walk with Standish Dog Trainer. Jo Pay Dog Trainer
It's a wonderful, safe and peaceful place to exercise your dog, something different than the usual enclosed field.

❕A reminder there are no walks today while I recover from climbing Helvellyn yesterday❕
I am however back to work tomorrow, a day earlier than planned, so if anyone would like to add on, just let me know 💞
Although judging by the state of my legs today, we may be slow moving for the next few days 🙈

Another new face for you to meet. Elsie can be very frightened of the world, to help her I work with .pay at Standish Dog Trainer. Jo creates the training plan for her behavioural work, then I support Elsie's humans with the training that needs to be done. It takes a village and Elsie definitely has one!

I often get asked about what equipment you should use with your dog, so I thought I'd do a series on my recommendations.

First up, harnesses. This is not a debate on why I use one, simply things to think about if you CHOOSE to use one.

Things to think about when choosing what harness your dog should wear. Shape Take note of what shape the chest piece of the harness is. Is it “y” shaped or is it a straight chest piece? Harnesses w…

"A day without a nap is like a cupcake without frosting"

How much sleep does your pup actually get?

We think so much about exercise and training when we get a dog but often we don't consider how much sleep they get.
A lot of the 'normal' puppy issues we see are usually down to over stimulation and lack of proper sleep.
A regular napping schedule alongside training, exercise and enrichment is the key to a happy and content puppy.

When used in a positive way, a crate or pen should be a safe space for your puppy to learn when you would like them to sleep.

It's time for a reintroduction...

Hello, I'm Amy and this is my Skeeter.

I've been dog training and walking for more than 10 years, with nearly 15 years experience of small animal care.

Here at Positively Peaches, I focus on training walks. I believe a dog walker should be there to help support your training needs, helping do the work while you're out at work. I want to help teach your dog life skills so that you can get the very best from your dog. I also value the importance of puppy socialisation and am here to help make sure every box is ticked.

I believe in supporting pet owners in all aspects of the care of their animals. I also provide in-home small animal care while you're on holiday. This includes rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, chickens and more.

All of my services can be individually tailored to your needs, with regular updates all part of the service.

I want to give you peace of mind that whatever animal you entrust in my care, their welfare is my priority.

💫 New Blog 💫

A very emotional subject for me to talk about, it's taken a few weeks for me to be able to post this one, I needed to be ready to talk about it.

Have a read and see why dog ownership isn't as simple as just loving your dog

A thought from ‘not your average’ dog owner Let me start off by saying I love my dog with every ounce of my being. For nearly 12 years, every single day has been planned for him. He’s t…

Breaking our accidental social media silence to say thank you.
Skeeter had routine surgery planned this week but became very unwell beforehand meaning services haven't been as reliable as I'd like.
So a huge thank you to the regulars who have helped cover to allow Skeeter the time he needed to rest and recuperate. It's been a tricky week and your kindness and understanding really has made it easier. I don't like not being consistent and reliable for our gang, but caring for Skeeter has to come first.
Now I promise to make more appearances on here, we've just been so busy training dogs, no time for the socials!

We've been keeping a little secret 🤫

You may have noticed we've not been our usual super organised selves and we've definitely been far too quiet with our updates. We've had a very busy few weeks, busy but super exciting, but now normal service can resume!

Amy is working as a support trainer on the second series of The Dog Academy. Filming has just finished and there'll be lots to see once the show starts on TV.

So thank you for your patience and let's get back on top form 💪🏼

Helloooooo!

We're very quiet on the socials at the moment, too busy training dogs!

Just a quick note to say August and September are looking super busy! Although I'm definitely not complaining, planning can be tricky and I absolutely hate not being able to meet any special requests, so just a quick message to my regulars, if there's anything out of the ordinary you need, please, the sooner you ask the better chance of me being able to help! Also if there's any dates you don't need, please let me know so I know where there are slots available.

Thank you for keeping us busy 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Loose lead walking, walking nicely on a lead, not pulling. However you want to describe it. Do you know what it looks like?

Walking nicely on the lead isn't about your dog looking at you or being glued to your leg. It's all about the lead being loose and your dog being aware that pulling is not what you want.

If you want your dog to be able to walk on a loose lead, they have to learn to adjust their pace to be with you. The pace of 2 legs vs 4 legs is never going to match up easily.

It's so important with whatever you're training that you know exactly what you want the behaviour to look like. Eye contact and closeness is great, but that is not what loose lead walking is about and it isn't a realistic expectation of what your on lead walks should look like.

International Women's day

Don't be fooled into thinking I work alone. Peaches would be nothing without a team of strong women at the end of a phone. From website gurus to sounding boards, spreadsheet creators to bringers of cake. I couldn't do it without these women 💛

**What are Training Walks?**

"A dog walking service that works with you to train your dog"

A regular dog walker who will visit your dog while you're at work, but who will also create and maintain a bespoke training plan to cover your needs.

This is more than just lead walking and recall training, although we're more than happy to help with that! We aim to teach your dog practical behaviours that enable them to live alongside you, wherever you'd like to go with them.

Here are some ideas we've worked with so far...
▪️Skills to make pavement walks easier
▪️Calm behaviour in cafés/pubs
▪️Lead walking with prams/mobility scooters
▪️Socialisation
▪️Confidence building with handling/grooming
▪️Recall in the real world
▪️Polite behavior around dog friendly shops and garden centres

We aim to work with you and the training goals you have, to ease the pressure for you with your training plan, but provide continuity and consistency to best set your dog up for success.
