I received this through private message as Sharon wasn't sure how to post.
Its my pleasure to have looked after your fur babies of all kinds of breeds.😄

Hi Julz sorry for delay…. not sure how to put something up on your page? Wanted to let you know how we valued your service when we went away at the end of July. It was awesome to know that all our 40+ animals were well looked after, as well as the house minded. We will definitely use your service again in the future.

Daisy Sim-Higgins Dachshund,
Owner Francis Sim-Higgins.

Daisy had a operation to remove a disc in her lower back. This is a VERY common ailment in dachshunds.

Aftercare by her surgeon's was non existent, so Francis and I had to put our head's together to come up with our own physiotherapy plan for Daisy.

There has been success with manual massage techniques, using a TENS machine to stimulate nerves, swim therapy and using a sling and harness to get those little back leg's moving and rebuild their strength.

Any degenerative disc disease diagnosis and recovery plan will have varied and often slow results. Imagine if you had a disc removed from your back?. This little body is learning how to walk again while her nerves recover and the gap left behind fills with scar tissue.

Daisy has a very sweet nature tempered with a stubborn streak, usually seen in a bull. Every step is celebrated!. The end goal is that Daisy will be back to doing dachshund run and bounce.

It's integral that if your dachshund stops walking (and is in horrific pain), you crate them straight away. Keeping your dog as still as possible. Quite often, further damage is done to the spine and nerves when vets manipulate and move your dog for x-rays. Crate your dog and take it directly to an experienced vet or surgeon.

Everything we try and teach in our classes. It's a really important read.

Dog walker etiquette is lacking and it’s most noticeable to those of us with complex dogs.

It’s easy to lose count of how many times we say it “he doesn’t, he isn’t and please don’t touch her” It’s almost like dog walking people lose their minds.

We can lose a full week of successful stress management to the presence of an unruly, unmanaged strange dog that approaches our scared friend and bounces around, whilst sending everyone’s stress levels through the roof. It’s easy to lose control of your tongue and your temper to the person shouting across the field “he only wants to play”.

So, this one is for the dog walkers.

The Urge To Play

If you see us with our dogs on the lead don’t allow yours to run up. Even if my dog looks friendly, ask first. People usually have their dog on a lead for a reason and that reason is not yours to decide.

If you see us call our dogs away and hide on the side of the track or in a bush to allow you by then we are coaching our dogs to stay calm. Don’t allow your dog to run up to us. It has taken a long time to teach that calmness and to break it is not your decision to make.

When we see you and your dog in the distance and change direction to move further away, whether our dogs are on or off the lead, please don’t continue to approach. Certainly, don’t allow your dog to run up. We are creating our distance for a good reason and should be respected.

Don’t say “he only wants to play” as your dog races towards ours, because you have no idea of the intentions, experiences or emotional state of the dog “he only wants to play” with. Think!

Be responsible for the safety of your own dog. When walking a reactive, fearful dog, we also have your dog’s well-being in mind. We don’t have reactive dogs without learning about dog behaviour. We can see your dog might be looking for a game and don’t need it pointed out. We can also see that your dog is going to be scared or hurt at any point so end up protecting both dogs. When I’m managing my dog and you’re not managing yours, your dog’s safety is not my responsibility. Be responsible!

Don’t look offended when we have done everything we can to allow you to pass whilst keeping our dogs calm, then your own is allowed to directly approach, causing reactive barking from mine. You caused that, you have no right to be offended. I have every right to be offended because you didn’t manage your dog or to respect the tiny bit of space we so carefully asked for.

The Urge to Touch

Please don’t try to touch my dog without asking. She’s small and she’s cute but she’s also a puppy farm survivor and terrified. She might not look scared but this is what we call a freeze reaction, in this case to your persistent attention. I am her only safety and even my husband respects her space. You have no right to invade that space so please just allow her to walk on by, feeling secure.

Don’t be surprised if after you have ignored me a few times and still try to touch my dogs, if I shout at you. The polite requests were ignored, you left me no choice and when a tiny dog needs my protection, believe me I will protect.

Not all dogs like to be touched by strangers, do you like to be touched by strangers? A hand over your head, rubbing in your face, a huge stranger looming over you? I suspect you like control of your personal space. Remember that on your next walk.

Please don’t say “it’s OK I’m a dog person” you’re not my dog’s person and that’s all that matters to us.

If you have a friendly dog please consider others. Some of our dogs suffer with fear issues, we are the rescuers, we are the ones managing daily fear and stress in the dogs that other people rejected.

Please respect our space!
