HOLIDAY PERIOD HOURS!!

🌶 We are away from the 22nd December- 12th Jan! All walking packages will be on hold over this period ☺️ and will continue as normal after the holiday period.

🌶 Cheers to another great year full of pooches, the great outdoors and our lovely clients who we absolutely adore.

🌶 Super cool to have Bentley with us this week while his owner was on holiday!
Bentley was accidentally bred by us from our beloved Kelpy Keira who sadly passed away a few years ago. Keira is pictured below with me, I feel so great full to have Bently with a wonderful friend of mine who loves him dearly. Bentley has so many characteristics of Keira and it’s awesome to be able to have apart of her in the living world still!

We want to thankyou all once again for a fantastic year and wish you all a beautiful summer holiday 💕

Hope everyone’s enjoyed their long weekend and has caught up on some rest or quite the opposite, checking off to do lists.
Whatever it maybe, you can be grateful for the extra time over the weekend.

We feel so grateful to live in such a beautiful place, this time of year has beautiful still mornings. New Brighton beach really is the most wonderful place to walk in the world.

With Jack and I being on 10 days lockdown we were please to get back out in our favourite little community, pacing down the lovely low tide to the most excellent cafe Brighton has to offer for breakfast.
Spice is so loved by the cafe staff and customers that reside at Switch New Brighton. You could tell spice was frothing to be strutting down her old pad to let everyone know she’s back.
Luckily enough Jack and I must have the genes of angels since we never contracted COVID during our lockdown.

We appreciate the eastern community so much and love seeing all the beautiful people sniffing the sea and letting the morning sun kiss their chests! Just another beautiful day to be alive

Hi team, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hope all our lovely clients enjoyed their break we sure have!
We are still out of action until the end of the month, so we will get back to everyone then 🙂

Since it’s the new year we thought we would jump on quickly for everyone who’s recently followed our wee bizz and introduce ourselves.

Our names are Jack and Tamara, we’re both students who have created Paws On The Pier because we simply just can’t stay inside!!!

Jack is currently studying A bachelor of applied science (Human Nutrition) and has just completed a Bachelor of sport coaching majoring in PE and Strength & Conditioning. Jack loves the beach, being outdoors surfing and is passionate about health and well-being.
Tamara on the other hand is studying Small Buisness and Project management with ambitions of starting her own business.
Tamara finds the most joy galloping around the racetrack on the noble horses for her day job as well! 🏇

Animals have been apart of our lives before we could talk. From handling horses, to feeding the goldfish, we’ve got you covered!

How do we sound for the ultimate dog walkers 😉

Christmas comes so fast! enjoy the day, hug your friends and family, wish that friend you fell out with a merry Christmas too 😉

We know that these times can be hard for some families so paying the Christmas joy forward is really important for our wee community.

These two best mates on Christmas Eve bolting around the beach are sure to get everyone in the Christmas spirit!

BESSIE!
The basset hound who loves bashing waves at the beach.
This girl has the heart of a golden retriever if you ask us, don’t be fooled by her little legs as she likes to hit the water full speed 🤩

Spice took jack for a walk!!
Think we got the short end of the stick here…

FRANK
flicking through his album you wouldn’t believe how much he’s grown!!
He’s gone from strength to strength this boy.

Frank has come so far. He’s become so well behaved in the car, with other dogs and really gotten the hang of being on the lead walking like an old man for us slowpokes. He really is the most mature puppy we know, a heart of gold this guy. we absolutely love walking him and watching him grow, his family should be super proud 😉

Meet pocket rocket Jet! ✈️

He had his first outing with our team today at bottle lake forest.
He was timid at first, but this guy exploded with personality for sure.
We are super excited to help this man build his confidence out with other dogs and new people.
He’s a champ!
(Not to mention super photogenic)

Level 2! Yay We’re back in business, with level 2 being announced we will now be back out walking under government procedures and sanitation guidelines. We will only be entering properties with masks.
we like to accomodate for everyone with our small walking team. So please feel free to let us know any of your requirements before collecting your pooch!
We are available for bookings throughout the week so feel free to flick us a message to create a booking.

A positive thing about lockdown is dogs really feel the love, with people heading back to work sometimes we find it hard to get that extra walk in!
Our dog spice is super excited to be able to socialise again! I hope everyone has enjoyed their lockdown and looking forward to business as usual!! Well… as usual as it can be 🥰

17/08/2021

Evening everyone! We are passionate about happy dogs, so socialising your dog is essential to its happiness, training and our own safety. Socialising a dog allows it to process new environments, people, items, sounds and situations in a positive way that allow them to still feel safe! The most common reason dogs show antisocial behaviour like growling, barking even attacking is because of the lack of social interactions a dog has had, and they think they are unsafe or threatened.
We have 5 easy steps that help your dog become more social, but also allow your dog to feel safe in new situations

1. Walking your dog!!
There are so many new smells, sounds, objects, animals that they will encounter and will begin feeling comfortable with in the long run

2. Taking your dog with you when possible.
This prepares them for short periods of time without you which is essential for them being able to cope and be patient (for example in the car while you go grocery shopping), it also allows them to travel to multiple places and be in a number of situations.

3. Clean the house!!! We know it’s about time you do…
This helps your dog become comfortable with lots of sounds like the vacuum cleaner, the dishwasher, shower, garage doors, lawnmower you name it!

4. Have a play date with other animals.
It is good to let you dog become familiar with different species of animals without showing aggression at a young age. If your dog is not good with other animals it is good to keep your dog on a leash and giving them commands like sit, help keep focus. Lots of dogs don’t have this experience when they are young and can cause them to hurt other animals/livestock.

5. Do not force your dog into and interaction where they are uncomfortable, aggressive or don’t feel safe.
If you have an inside dog who doesn’t like walking, stick to a car ride until they have confidence! promote positive experiences/reactions with reward to enforce a positive experience

We are currently taking bookings and cater for all ages, abilities and antisocial dogs on after hours walks. We want to make sure every dog gets what they need and any dog can learn to have a positive experience happy Monday ♥️

INTRODUCING FRANK!!!
Loudest bark on the block, this 4 month old Huntaway X Lab has some serious character. He’s a local just learning the ropes!
Frank has taken on our half hour walks which we offer for dogs who don’t need the distance but a good experience! I’d say frank agrees with his experience just look at that happy face 🐶
