✨CUSTOMER ANNOUNCEMENT✨
New year, new career!
I will no longer be providing dog walking services with immediate effect as I am starting a new job😌
It’s been a tough few months for me and my family so I’m taking a few weeks break before starting a new venture.
It’s been a joy and a pleasure getting to know all of you, getting to spend time with your pups and falling in love with them all- but, this is an opportunity I can’t turn down!
Love Paws, Shannon x
Yak😛
Did you know- when your yak chews become small, soak them in some water and throw them in the microwave- they come out like a yak puffy crisp so your pup can eat the whole chew!😋😋😋
Mr Vinnie💙 a 10 month old fox red lab! Vinnie is going to be working on engagement, loose lead walking and impulse control.
Welcome to the Paws Pack!
It’s a snow day❄️❄️❄️
The dogs had an absolute blast chasing snow balls and making snow angels☃️

Training don’t stop✋even on Christmas Day🎄
Blu has been exclusively on lead for around 4 weeks now (season recall selectiveness shall we say)
So we are building her recall back up! Here we were practicing crossing roads. Blu’s cues are ‘wait’ to stop immediately. ‘Okay’ is her release cue, and ‘yes’ is her reward cue.
Notice I didn’t use her reward cue in this instance- why? She didn’t immediately stop on her wait command. I did reward her by saying good girl, I liked what she was doing but I did not reward with a high value treat as it was not perfect. The next road we crossed she waited immediately and guess what- hot dog reward!!!! 🌭
She will be 100% off lead again in no time!
Enjoying some quality time with my own pups💗
I 1000% believe a mucky pup is a happy pup- and as you can see- these girls enjoyed wallowing in the mud😂
Wishing all of my pups a very Merry Christmas when it arrives!
Stay safe, behave for Santa Paws and I’ll catch up with you all soon! Ps I can’t wait to see all your Christmas pics!
Humans- have a fantastic festive period! See you next week!
Thankyou so much for supporting Paws and trusting me with your four legged friends.
I’m off to enjoy some of the lovely gifts I was given (there’s a pink gin with my name on it🍸)
Love Shannon x
A moment for Charlie⭐️

• Apollo
• Odie (who had his Christmas hair dye on!)
• Ollie (the Christmas pudding)
• Romeo
• Blu
They had so much fun running around! See you all soon💗
Paws puppies! 🐾
Today we were joined by Blu (my dog)- puppies learning to play with other puppies is one thing- but puppies learning to respect older dogs is just as important! Let’s face it, most of the dogs they will encounter out and about will not be puppies so they need to learn to be respectful to other 4 legged friends.
Blu is a great dog for teaching other pups boundaries! She’s calm, respectful and allows them a little wiggle room (she understands they are babies and treats them so)
Today we were joined by Lupo, Coal and Rosie🐾🐾
Tuesday morning!
We were joined by:
Beau, Bohdi, Billy, Blu and Romeo!
How many dogs does it take to carry a stick? 3 apparently!🤷♀️

A few weeks ago Max would not come close to me… he was wary and less than impressed by my existence…
Fast forward a few weeks and now he brings me sticks, get so excited to see me, gives me the biggest kisses and loves playing!

What is going on! -7/-8 planned for tomorrow😵
Our walks will be shorter today. For dog welfare sustained walking in these temperatures can negatively effect pup wellbeing.
We will be carrying out 30mins - 45 min walks (especially for our puppy group this afternoon- frozen beans!)- I hope you all understand!
Get those pup jackets on and let’s enjoy the ice❄️❄️❄️❄️
What a day!!! -4 this morning on our morning walk!!! ❄️❄️❄️
Remember to keep yourselves and your pups safe in the cold weather!
Jackets/ jumpers/ robes/ all-in-ones are essential particular for very young, elderly or thin coated breeds!
Keep those pups toasty and enjoy the snow❄️❄️❄️❄️

This is simply an Oreo appreciation post🐾
Remember Oreo, he’s a Romanian rescue and I have been working with him and his humans- well today we took it up a step and Oreo came for a solo walk with me.
Oreo is reactive of strangers, men, and other dogs- so for him to trust and enjoy his walk with me was a huge achievement.
Look at his happy smiling face!
Friday friends! 🐾

Welcome to Paws Teens🐾 Zooooooom 💨💨💨
Let’s discuss collars/harnesses/haltis - where do you stand? I am asked by a number of owners per week, about loose lead walking. 9 times out of 10- they say to me that their dog is on an anti-pull harness but nothing works? They may also have their dog wearing a harness and a collar and two leads all at the same time… Harnesses were originally designed to enable sledging dogs to pull sleighs, for horses to be able to pull carts (do we see where I’m going with this?) There are particular breeds who I would recommend wear a harness (flat faced breeds) due to the potential effect on already suppressed airways by collars. That’s not to say that loose lead walking can’t be taught while a dog is wearing a harness (like in this video!) But if your struggling with your pup pulling- it’s maybe worth a think🤔 we want our dogs to respond to lead pressure but this has to be TAUGHT. If your struggling with loose lead walking- get in touch📩 #pawsdundee
Mr ‘pulls on his lead’ 🤨 One to one session for this handsome boy who was pulling on his lead… I don’t know about you but I’d say he walks beautifully to heel on his lead😜😜 If your struggling with loose lead walking- get in touch 📩📩 #pawsdundee
Loose lead walking🐾 Here is an example of loose lead walking- I am able to walk my dog using one finger. Can you spot where I corrected her? And did you spot how she changed her lead pressure following my correction? If you are struggling with loose lead walking, we can help! Can you walk your dog using just one finger? #pawsdundee
🐾Puppy walks🐾 Here we have handsome Coal- a 15 week old lab pup- on one of our puppy training walks. These walks allow us time to train, expose pups to new places and environments and to socialise them. This was coals first session with us. If you would like to book your puppy into one of our puppy walks- get in touch📩 #pawsdundee
