☁️⚠️ SAFETY ADVICE FOR YOUR DOG IN STORM EOWYN⚠️☁️

🐾 AVOID WALKING YOUR DOG! There are strong winds and you/your dog may be knocked over or hit by debris. Dogs are easily spooked by the wind and may slip their collar/harness.

🐾 Ensure your garden/yard is secure. Fences are easily knocked over in this weather. If you are worried about the security of your garden/yard toilet your dog on a lead/long line.

🐾 Keep your dog entertained with some mental enrichment. You can use stuffed Kong's and Lickimats.

It's mike and I'm hijacking the social media page.
Jodie never gives herself enough credit and I'm determined to change that!
If you have any nice comments or experiences you want to share about Jodie please do!
My parents are here spending quality time with the grandkids this week so I can attend a couple of walks and classes again but we may be slow replying to messages etc. we will get around to it when we can.

2 beautiful ladies! Jodie and Leia out for a training walk! What a cracking duo!

When we are working on our dogs training/behaviour, often we find ourselves focusing on the negatives. They didn't do this or that... and whilst finding points to work on is useful, it's also really important to recognise your successes! 🏆

Comment below something you and your dog have achieved this week. 👇

Throw back to 2020 when I was still working at Guide Dogs! 🦮

This beautiful foxy girl is Gerry and we were working on some cooperative care by learning chin rest 🧡. Teaching this allows your dog choice and can reduce stress during interventions such as health checks and the administration of medicines.

This beautiful girly has just completed our puppy course and has gained so much confidence! Here she is practicing recall and living her best life 😁🩷.

We're back!!! 😁 We've had a few (rare!!) days of annual leave and now I'm back and going through our many messages and emails!! Please bear with me whilst I work through these! I also have a 4 year old and a 9 month old to content with 😵‍💫😂.

What are your training/behaviour goals for 2025? 🤔

✨ Happy New Year!!! ✨

Thank you to all of our wonderful clients, friends, family and followers. ❤️

We are so excited for the future! Here's a quick overview of some of our plans -

🦮 Assistance dog training - I am SO excited for this! I am currently expanding my preexisting knowledge and undertaking a course to expand what assistance dog training I can offer!

🐾 More classes - beginner classes, intermediate classes (for those who haven't attended puppy classes with us!), and more. (Mike is currently doing a scentwork course!!)

🐕 Educational talks - these will be on common behaviour issues.

💻 Online training/behaviour consultations - life is EXPENSIVE for everyone at the moment so I have been looking into a way to offer our services at a lower cost for those who need it. We can also offer these to those out of our catchment area.

This time of year can be difficult for dogs, particularly those with behaviour struggles. The festive season and upcoming New Year celebrations can bring about disruption to routine, new faces and less time for relaxing. This can all have an impact on your dog's behaviour, so don't be surprised if any behaviour issues worsen at this time. Remember to give your dog a nice, quiet area of the house where they can take themselves away to decompress.

Congratulations to our most recent puppy class graduates - Bonnie, Buddy, Beau and Badger! 🎉
