📣 Adoptions have slowed to a standstill and we need your help!

Right now, we don’t have a single suitable application for any of the dogs currently looking for homes. Not one. 🥺

We understand that this time of year is always quiet, July and August are peak holiday months, and families are away or juggling summer plans. But for the dogs waiting patiently in our care (and those still waiting to come in), time doesn’t stop. They still need homes.

💔 Behind the scenes, we have a growing list of dogs waiting to come into rescue — some with urgent medical or behavioural needs. But we can’t say yes until we have space.

We’re asking you — our amazing supporters — to please share our adoption posts. Every share means more eyes on these dogs. It only takes one person to fall in love and change a life forever 💞

Let’s get the word out and find these dogs the homes they deserve.
Thank you as always 🐶

I’ve seen a lot of posts recently from dog trainers putting up their back story . I thought I’d put up how my current situation came about as my back story is already on my website. Since last November I have officially been my partner’s carer. That means I receive £333.20 a month . We get £892.08 from UC . Until April I was only allowed to earn £104 a week which has now been raised to £196 woohoo 🎉 If I go a penny over I lose the whole of my carers allowance. This meant I had to make some decisions, so I decided to concentrate on doing my agility classes and mantrailing workshops., both sports I love . I now only do one agility class on Saturday mornings. My agility people have been with me throughout this time and have been a great support ❤️I have a little core of mantrailing people who come regularly to the workshops but I’m always keen to bring it to newcomers as it’s such a rewarding thing to do with your dog 😊. So that’s why nothing else is now offered just mantrailing workshops. What does greatly affect me is having to cancel classes due to the weather as I then don’t have the income that I thought I would. We dog trainers / dog walkers have just had 2 years of really wet weather only to now have heatwave weather. Please always know if you are being asked to move time or change dates it is for the wellbeing of you and your dog . No self employed person wants to be losing income xx

Out for an afternoon on lead walk for the next 10 days. The eye is now looking much better 🤞

24/06/2025

JoJo is by at the vets for another anaesthetic and stitches as her eye has opened up again 😫. The soft buster collars are a lovely idea but not for eye injuries. Luckily I had an old very beat up solid buster collar in a cupboard so that went in smartish after she did this .

My poor JoJo has had to have her eye operated on today . What started as a small bramble scratch on the eyelid has resulted in a bit of necrotic tissue being removed and biopsies taken as she had suspicious looking thickening. The antibiotics of the past week have had no effect so they are continuing as well as testing to see if there is any resistance to them . Check up is on Thursday.

I’m so glad my girls have always felt comfortable giving things up to me . This was the latest find this morning and could have meant a trip to the vets had one of them eaten it . I always reward them giving something up, if they have picked up socks in the house I swap them for a treat . Spaniels are notorious for ending up in rescue as adolescents with resource guarding issues due to having things forcibly taken from them . Play toy switch with your dog , teach them a retrieve to hand , have some fun with the giving things up that means your dog still gets a win win situation . The best time to start this is as puppies but you can still do it with adult dogs . If your dog already has resource guarding issues that’s a different thing to work on but can still be achieved . Teaching this could be a life saver….. guarding

Each workshop costs £35.

Do you have a dog who likes to sniff? I am an accredited search dog handler and I teach dogs to search for and ‘rescue ‘a ‘lost’ person for fun.

Operational Search and Rescue Dogs take 2 years to train to high standards with several assessments before they are allowed to go out and search for missing members of the public.

However, we can also teach it for fun, called mantrailing or you may have heard of it as sport trailing.

If you are looking for a unique way to bond with your dog, mantrailing is a great option. It requires team work, trust and communication, it’s a fantastic way to improve both yours and your dog's physical and mental health. It's a great workout, helps reduce stress, and all of these can strengthen your relationship. It is also a great way to help if you have an adolescent dog who is not particularly listening to you. This can help them focus and you will start to work as a team often repairing your bond which may be a little stretched at the moment!

Come and give it a try and see the difference!

You will need a harness and a longline but I can loan a longline for the workshop, if you don’t have your own. No need to worry about your recall. Searching is done at walking pace.

If you would like to see more of what this entails please take a look at some of the videos on my Facebook or Instagram accounts. https://www.facebook.com/sueashforthhappypetssservices

Sorry but I’m going to have a bit of a rant . I was 121 training with Chester this morning Paul is wearing a high viz jacket that says dog in training and a completely out of control Retriever comes bounding over . 6 times I called out can you call your dog please . Paul called as well . Nothing . Owners just looked at us . Finally they called the dog just as 2 horses came along . What did this dog do chased the horse . The horse reared up and the poor girl on board fell off. Thankfully she managed to hold onto her horse . The owners still made very little effort to get hold of this dog . I have to say Chester was a star ⭐️ how well he has come on in his training he didn’t react at all but this could have been very nasty and caused a lot of problems. Later on I encountered 4 dogs again no recall whilst walking my own dogs. I apologetic owner who then kept the dog on lead the other 3 the woman started saying I had 5 dogs to keep an eye on . Yes mine were all by my side whilst her 3 completely ignored her constant whistle blowing and calling 🤔. If you have no recall KEEP YOUR DOG ON A LEAD OR LONGLINE and put some time into training . It is unfair to other people whether dogs horses livestock whatever to have to put up with your excuses. Do not try and put the blame on someone else accept YOUR responsibility. And if I hear biscuit one more time …. 🙄
