Another week gone by in a flash!!
Hope you all enjoy your weekend.
Invoices for April are due today and I'd be very grateful if those were all settled by Sunday.
Thanks all 🌸

Oh Mr Arthur.
With that boopable shnoz of yours.
Our last walk together. You're 3 years old now and I've known you since you were a wee pupper. It feels like the end of an era.
Wishing Arthur and his Mum all the best in their house move 🏡

The only thing better than one golden retriever is two golden retrievers 🤩

You can walk on lead and off lead.
It doesn't have to be one or the other.
In fact, it's best if it isn't.
When working with recall, to build up confidence, just let your dog off their lead for 5 minutes if that's all your nerves can handle.
Then gradually build from there.
It doesn't have to be all or nothing 🫶

We've had some fantastic wins with our separation anxiety clients this week.
I couldn't be more proud of their progress and the effort from their guardians.
Don't forget, my half price offer is only available for one more week!
Don't miss out ✨️

Not many photos this week.
Didn't that week fly!
Final reminder that there are no walkies tomorrow or Monday as we're all having a break. Apart from me. I'm doing exams 😭🤣
I will get invoices sent across either this evening or tomorrow.
Enjoy your Easter weekend 🐣

So sad to share the news today that little Apple passed away 🍎 She was just a baby so understandably her guardians are heartbroken.
Although our business name suggests otherwise, we care just as much about our small animal clients and our deepest sympathies go out to Apple's guardians.
She really was a little sweetheart. 🐰

I share this every year 🐰🐰

With Easter just around the corner, we wanted to share this important reminder with you… Rabbits are for life, not just for Easter 🐰🐰

❌ Rabbits are not good pets for children & are most definitely not a good Easter gift ❌

Rabbits might look like a cuddly toy & therefore be attractive to children who see a cute, fluffy bunny and decide they want one. However the reality is that Rabbits are rarely cuddly and children often lose interest quickly.

When purchased as a gift for a child, rabbits are often left alone in a hutch at the end of the garden or even abandoned. This is why it’s important to educate yourself on their needs before committing.

Another great visual for dog bite prevention week.
'The bite came out of nowhere'.
It almost never does.
Please don't set your dog up to fail.

It's dog bite prevention week
Take a few minutes out of your day to have a read through this and speak to your children about it.

This photo deserved a separate post.
The gorgeous Poppy enjoying her last walk with Jo on Tuesday.
She loved dipping her paws in the water. 🌈

What a gorgeous week we've had.
Few bits of info:
1) Dog walking invoices are due today.
2) I am off from 6pm tonight until Tuesday morning. It's my birthday on Tuesday but I'm celebrating it on Monday so Jo is covering Monday for me (thank you Jo!) Any communications on Monday please use the chat feature on the app.
3) Next week I am working as usual Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday but then we're all off over the long Easter weekend. I will be completing my final exams so I will be unavailable whilst I concentrate on that.
4) If you have small animal bookings this weekend or next, don't worry, I'm still doing those 😊
5) Behaviour plans and invoices will all be sent out by 6pm today. After this I won't be available for behaviour advice until Tuesday. Separation clients, you're the exception. Missions will still be going ahead over the weekend!
Any questions about any of this please let me know 💌
