Meet Nala,

I started walking Nala back in December after a few changes in her life. The loss of her best friend and moving to a new house, her mum was worried she might struggle with the big changes. She wanted to keep her social with other dogs and get some exercise during the day.

Nala has also had double TPLO surgery so on lead walks are the perfect way to exercise her without overdoing it and be able to manage her activity.

Nala learnt very quickly how to walk nicely beside me on lead and was able to join the pack soon after. She loves spending time with her buddies and always takes up the best seat in the back of the car.
We do have a couple of things we work on during our walks, as Nala is not a huge fan of little dogs.

I enjoy spending time with Nala on our walks and seeing her personality show through.

Meet Atticus,
I have been seeing Atticus for monthly massage sessions since December 2024.

This BIG boy is a hunterway and weighs 65kgs! As with a lot of dogs that have hunterway in their breeding, he has pain in his hind legs and hips. Because he is such a big boy he carries a lot of tension in his lower back, which makes moving around a little difficult.

During our massage sessions we focus a lot on the tightness he gets in his shoulders, as well as focusing on his lower back and hind legs. When dogs have pain the rest of their body will compensate for that part of their body that they are feeling the pain. So I ensure that the massage sessions also focus on the parts of the dogs body that will be overworked due to this compensation.

Atticus - in true hunterway fashion loves to talk and will always try and have the last word!! Overtime we have built a relationship where he can trust me and will now relax in his sessions and let me focus on the areas causing him pain. Making him feel like a brand new boy afterwards.

One of my favourite parts of my job - making dogs feel like themselves again and getting feedback about how they are returning back to their normal happy self after seeing me 🥰

Meet Tiger 🐯
He has been coming on walks with me since April where he started off on my puppy training walks.

Tiger has been learning lots on our walks. We focused on walking nicely without pulling, engagement, ignoring triggers and calm behavior around other dogs.

Tiger has done so well and has since graduated to my pack walks.
He is very calm around other dogs and walks so nicely on lead. He does have a little bit of “stranger danger” where he is weary of new people. But we are working on his confidence around new people in new environments so he doesn’t need to be worried and can calmly and confidently walk past people.

I am looking forward to helping Tiger continue to grow into a confident and well rounded dog.

Paws Rewind now stocking supplements!!

I have linked up with Fourflax Pet Supplements to supply Hamilton dogs (and cats) with New Zealand made natural products to help them feel good and improve their quality of life.

Having tried these products on my own dogs I know they work and have helped my dogs have a better quality of life.

• Probiotics:: Did you know the gut is the powerhouse for your dog and their overall health??? A healthy and balanced gut is key for a strong immune system.
Fourflax probiotics are a super blend of prebiotics and probiotics which supports a healthy balance of bacteria in the tummy.
If your dog has sensitivities, paw licking and itchiness probiotics can help with this.

Dietary fibre also helps with constipation, stool consistency and a**l gland issues. Packed full of targeted ingredients to build natural immunity, repair cells and make sure your dog is getting full absorption of nutrients and digestion of their food. Supplementing your dogs diet with feed Probiotics to nourish & protect from the inside out!

• Bone and Joint Powder:: The ultimate joint health supplement to help your dog stay active and comfortable at any age. Your dog doesn’t need to be old and arthritic to start feeding a joint supplement. Prevention is better than cure, so starting young will help ensure their joints are looked after for life! Not just at the end stage when it’s a little too late to repair any damage.

Providing a powerful blend of science-backed ingredients to deliver a highly effective solution. With UC-II Collagen®, scientifically proven to help maintain and support joint flexibility and mobility.
UC-II Collagen® works in a unique way to trigger your pet's immune system response to signal the body to rebuild and repair joint cartilage. This process promotes a natural inflammatory response while helping to support cartilage regeneration.

Meet Koa

He has been receiving monthly massage sessions since November last year and recently this year has been coming along for lead training walks too!

Koa has a bit of discomfort in his back and his regular massage sessions help to ease some of this pain. So much so that when he goes back to daycare the day after his session he’s bursting with energy and bossing the other dogs around!!

Koa is also coming on training walks with me to help build his confidence out in public and to work on his reactivity towards other dogs when on lead.
Being around other confident dogs helps bring him out of his shell and feel less insecure when out walking on lead. The power of the pack comes in to help build other dogs up!

I am looking forward to continuing to help build Koas confidence with walking and also help to ease his pain with massage. What a lucky boy he is to have such amazing parents that want the best for him.

I'm taking part in the PAWGUST challenge to raise funds for Blind Low Vision NZ Guide Dogs.

Rain, hail or shine, I'll be pounding the pavement for Guide Dog pups. It's going to be RUFF but it's for a great cause.

For the month of August I am going to walk 200km for a good cause.

If you have a dollar or two to spare please donate to my challenge so I can raise funds to help the guide dogs 🥰
I am aiming to raise $1000 which will help support a guide dog for 20 days.

Please support my challenge today by donating to my fundraising page - https://www.pawgust.co.nz/s/64940/76551/e

Together, we can create a world where everyone who needs a Guide Dog, has a Guide Dog.

Thank you so much.

Paws sincerely,
Lauri

That feeling in winter when your dogs needs have been met before you get home from work.
No more cold wet walks in the rain, get home and cuddle up on the couch with them instead!

Meet Butters
He is a staffy x that has been walking with me since January.

Sometimes a dog just clicks with you and you build a relationship of trust pretty quickly - this was Butters. After only a few walks with me I could tell that he was going to be a suitable dog to introduce to other dogs pretty fast!

His leash work improved dramatically and he was listening to me after only a few weeks. So after walking him one on one for 7 weeks I started introducing him to some of my other dogs. He had no issues with being introduced to these dogs and we began building our small pack.

Now not all dogs graduate from one on ones to pack walking as fast. It’s all unique just like the individual dogs. But being able to read them and interpret their behavior is so important. Introducing dogs together too soon and you could have a disaster!

Butters isn’t perfect however - we still have the things we are working on. Cats, barking dogs, and sometimes overstimulation. But overall he has improved so much. His nana now even feels confident walking him because of how good he is on his walks now! And that’s something to celebrate!

Well done Butters on being a good boy!

Happy official 1st Birthday to Paws Rewind!
One year ago today I stepped out of my secure full time job and became completely self employed!
I had been slowly working on Paws Rewind in the background since 2023, but I knew that I couldn’t grow it to where I wanted if it was always just a side hustle. So I took a deep breath, pulled up my big girl pants and took the leap! And here I am one year on putting my all into my small business.

What a year it has been. Paws Rewind has grown and so have I. And I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for all of my amazing clients. I have been so blessed by being backed and supported by some of the best people! Complete strangers who have put their trust in me and recommended me and my services because they truly believe that what I offer is worth it.

I am not going to lie, starting a business is not for the faint hearted. There were many times when I doubted myself, if I was good enough, if what I was offering was worth it, if people would support me, if people found my services worth their hard earned money. There were many times when I thought I had made the wrong decision and wasn’t sure if it was going to work out. But I stuck at it and I did because of two very special people. First my number one supporter my husband, always behind me pushing me to be the very best version of myself. Pushing me to prove to myself that I can do anything I put my mind to. And the second is Kelsey from , teaching me and providing me with her knowledge. I wouldn’t be here without them.

So here’s to my first official year in business, I have made it this far. And I am so proud of the business I have created and what I am doing to help dogs. Here’s to my future in business and the dreams that I have for Paws Rewind to grow bigger and better! So watch this space, because I know my journey has just begun.
