Did you know all dogs nails have a nerve inside (called the ‘quick’) which can bleed if the nail is not cut correctly. If you trim your dogs nails regularly the quick doesn’t grow as much as the nail, and that makes it easier for each nail cutting session.

Since grooming is such an important part of dog handling I felt I needed to upgrade my skills to be able to teach my pet parents about the correct grooming and handling practises. So I’m thrilled to have finally done the grooming workshop with . 🐩🐩

How do your dogs spend their days? Are they doing what they were naturally bred to do?
spend the first half of the day watching the gate of the building and keeping an eye on everyone who comes and goes. They spend most afternoons indoors, getting tons of massages and affection before their evening walks. By around 930 pm they’re usually fast asleep after sometimes hunting in the building compound.

Why do we do beach sessions ?
- for socialisation, meaning exposure to different environments,sounds,surfaces (not just dogs and people)
- to allow our city dogs to be a part of nature from time to time
- to practise obedience in diffferent settings outside the home
- to have fun with our pets :)

After much planning I finally met Zoe and she’s doing really well with her pet parent working on keeping her engaged around the older dog in the house. Certain rules to be followed when you bring a pup home with an adult dog already at home :
1. Keep them separated initially for most of the day.
2. All interactions must be supervised and no rough play allowed.
3. Feed meals separately so there’s no fighting over food.
4. Train both dogs individually before training together.

Did you know that puppies need to be with their mom for atleast 8 weeks before you bring them home ? A puppy younger than that will have missed out on major learning from his mother and siblings and this can show up in the form of excessive nipping , toilet training issues and much more.

Ankita & Scotch 💚

I used to be petrified of dogs, all animals in general. But then one day, my brother got Scotch (my pet, a boxer) home. And I couldn't imagine living with a pet in the house, it's an apartment so you can imagine. It's literally living together. It took me a year to get friendly with him. For the 1st six months we'd be in different rooms/corners of the house at all times. But things slowly changed and now I'm fond of him. In fact, he sleeps in my room at times now. But I still don't know how friendly I am with pets in general. But this is a good start. 🙂

Divya & Arya 💓

Growing up I never had any pets & I was pretty scared of animals generally. I always wanted a dog but I was scared of all my friend’s dogs lol.
It was only in my 20s I learned how to interact with dogs. I think when you grow up in a family that has never had pets or knows how to be with animals, you never learn the skill.
Now I have Arya & I can’t imagine being without her😃

Poonam & Snoopy 💖

As since childhood I was scared of dogs and cats! And I dont know for no good reason, but had a phobia of dogs n cats!
Till now I had this and i’m 24 y/o.
So my younger brother was a dog lover since childhood ,
And his only wish was to get a dog at home, but as i was scared of dogs (kinda you can say phobia, though there was not a bad experience nothing its just a phobia within my mind, and never ever touched dog in my life was so scared) and since my brother was dog lover he always want to get one . But because of me , he couldn’t!
And after all this he tried to convince my mom after 18 yrs and my mom n dad agreed to it!
And recently my parents gifted my brother a baby pug on his bday! On 27th april 2021 they got home a pup (of 40 days)
And they didn’t tell me as they knew I would be mad at them, so they hide for 10 days and they said to me that they already got a pup at home! And I live in mumbai due to my work and all.
So when I got back to my hometown, and as soon i saw him I couldn’t touch him or be near him. With time I began petting him and now I realise this is what I needed in my life !

Pooja & Oliver’s story 🥰

Kavita and Chloe’s story 💕-

A street dog bit my sister when we were kids and it left me with a life long fear of dogs. I could never get too close to any dog without being scared. Then last year I finally decided do get my shihtzu Chloe and it has changed everything for me. I’m still a bit wary of street dogs but I’m improving everyday. I can’t imagine my life without Chloe now! -Kavita
