โ„๏ธ The weather has been cold and frosty, so Iโ€™ve been using the time to catch up on admin and studying ๐Ÿ“š. I signed up for this course a while ago but never got around to completing itโ€”so I made it a priority over the Christmas period!

Iโ€™m passionate about supporting new adopters and helping them create a plan to ensure their dogs settle into their forever homes ๐Ÿ . Itโ€™s not always easy, but with time, patience, and understanding, the process can be smoother for everyone involved.

My own dog, Mila, is a perfect example. She was adopted and came to me as her third home (not including her time in kennels and foster care)โ€”and she was only 6 months old! Sheโ€™s been a challenge, but every bit of effort has been worth it.

If youโ€™re an adopter and need help or guidance, please feel free to reach out.

Itโ€™s been a long couple of weeks, had this pesky cold ๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿคง thatโ€™s been going around which has completely wiped me out. So I decided to escape for the day and go to one of my favourite places with the dogs. Fresh air, sunshine and beautiful views have done me the world of good. Also managed to fit in a spot of lunch and possibly a cake ๐Ÿฐ.

Back at work tomorrow, catching up on admin and some 1-1s booked in.

We still have some spaces on classes starting next week. Check out the website for dates and details:

Great 6:30pm and 7:30pm class on Tuesday evening! This was our Bronze, Silver and Gold Kennel Club groups.

Everyone was amazing. ๐Ÿคฉ

We did temptation alley loose lead walking, no problem at all. We did temptation alley recall, easy peasey. Wow!

We looked at building duration in sit and down with distractions and I'm so pleased how well everyone did, this is something we will continue to work on.

Send to bed and stop was also looking very good.

Well done All โญ๏ธ
