With the end of 2024 I want to say a massive thank you to everyone that has supported me in helping my business grow! I have met some amazing clients and their dogs! I look forward to next year to grow some more and for some of the new and exciting things to come! Have a wonderful new year everyone ๐
What an amazing two days walking Milo. He has really enjoyed his adventures before all of the Christmas fun begins. We couldnโt help but open one of his presents early to enjoy the yumminess of it ๐คญ ๐

What an amazing adventure we had with Milo! He fully enjoyed exploring the forest and sniffing all the surroundings! ๐ฒ
If youโre looking for someone to take your pooch on an adventure then message me to book in! ๐พ
Milo
Milo had lots of fun on his shaded walk! He was a super good boy and a pleasure to walk ๐๐พ
Threshold control
Thor showing off his amazing threshold control skills! This is such a valuable thing to teach your dogs because it keeps them and yourself safe. A dog that runs straight out of the door can either knock you flying or can potentially run off into danger
River was completely drained from her walk today. She had lots of zoomies, sniffs and some good recalls!
Brackenโs recall skills
Bracken showing off his recall skills coming away from ๐ ๐ฉ practice and patience are the key to perfecting a good recall! Also notice how at the beginning I reward his check in ๐ This is not something I have trained but rather something I have encouraged through rewarding every check in. Check ins are really beneficial as they encourage engagement and also encourage the dog to stick to a safe distance ๐พ
Bracken doing some super walking! Chicken is the way forward!๐
Does your dog perform better with certain foods?
Habituation to roads and loud noises
Here we have 16 week old cocker spaniel Bracken. We are working on getting him used to being near busy roads and the loud sounds. This is important to avoid any future car chasing or fear near the road.
We started off at a further distance and then gradually made our way closer. Itโs important to watch your dogโs body language when you are doing this to make sure that you are not moving forward too fast and causing any fear.
As you can see Bracken is calm and is focused on me. I reward him and when he looks away and looks back I reward again.
