It's the penultimate day of Freya's Skinny Dipping Challenge for Breaking The Chains !

Today is the 23rd day in a row that Freya has swam in the sea (other than during the red weather warning, but she did double the next day!)

So far, she's raised £197 of her £250 target.

Can you help her by donating?! If five of you donated a tenner, she's pretty much there!

Breaking the Chains is a fantastic charity doing difficult, heartbreaking animal rescue & welfare work, with boots on the ground in some of the most dangerous places in the world, including Gaza and Ukraine.

If you're unable to donate, please could you share this post instead?

Merry Christmas Eve Eve to you all 🎄🙏💓

Two more days to go!
Freya is loving her challenge, being on the beach every day, and getting her paws wet—especially for a good cause!

In case you don't know, Freya is a 10.5-year-old springador. You probably wouldn’t guess her age, as she’s as bouncy as ever! She has always loved water and swimming.

This little black dog moved in with her human, Eszter, about nine years ago. She is the sweetest dog with lots of energy.
Eszter, the "taxi driver" and es**rt for this challenge, loves making memories every day during their seaside adventures.

Please help Freya to reach her goal to support Breaking The Chains and help save animals!

Freya was disappointed she couldn't do her daily dip today due to the red weather warning! Safety always comes first but she promises to do double as soon as she's allowed back on the beach!

In case you missed it, Freya is going wild swimming every day in the run up to Christmas to raise money for Breaking The Chains, who work to rescue animals in war zones all over the world.

It's a really, really good cause- check out their page to see the amazing work they do, and if you have a few spare pennies please consider donating so Freya can see how much everyone appreciates her hard work! ;)

Do your dogs get presents for Christmas? 🎄

Who's got their tree up then?!

This is Norah's first Christmas with us and so far the decorations are safe! 🤞

Bit of double dog UF for these two today ;)

When training "On" with duration, it's a good idea to start bringing in the phone as a distraction quite early on as you're bound to want to take photos of your dog(s) on various obstacles!

Hi Followers!

Every year in December, Urban Freestyle have a fundraiser for charity to show our support and raise vital money for organisations working with animals in need.

This year, we have decided to support Breaking The Chains, an organisation which specialises in rescuing animals of all types from dangerous and challenging conditions worldwide. They are currently working on the ground in both Ukraine and Gaza to provide relief to animals affected by war, be that through abandonment, neglect, injury, starvation, disease or even being eaten by people in the most desperate of situations.

I can only imagine how brave the wonderful team at Breaking the Chains must be to put their own lives in danger to save these animals, and so I got to thinking what I could do to encourage people to donate to this worthy cause.

After much thought, I decided on SKINNY-DIPPING IN THE SEA! Yep, that's right, every day from the 1st December right up until Christmas Eve, I will be getting into the freezing cold Irish Sea wearing absolutely nothing except sometimes my collar for public decency reasons, or course.

But we need your donations! If you can, please consider sponsoring me to give me that extra boost to get in the cold water on the really chilly winter mornings. It's going to be a challenge but I am determined to do this for the animals!

Thanks for reading!

Love Freya the Springador

Final day of our Black Friday week sale!

The code is UF100

29/11/2024

This crazy good Black Friday deal ends on Saturday!!!

Don't miss it as we won't run an offer like this again until our birthday in June and even that isn't decided yet!!!

Take the leap, have faith in yourself to stay motivated (we are here to help!) and give your dog THE BEST Christmas present ever.

Remember, what dogs DON'T really care about:
- Wearing festive jumpers
- Fancy food or water bowls
- Gross rawhide in Christmassy shapes
- The fact their treats are suddenly turkey flavour (ok fine, they might like this one)

What dogs REALLY care about:
- Spending good quality time with their human doing cool stuff

You know it makes sense. Buy your dog the gift that keeps on giving: quality online training on an ever-growing platform, supported by a supportive community.

Follow the l!nk below, select "Do you have a Coupon?" and enter code BF100 to get £100 off annual membership!

Have you had a childhood dog?

I (Eszter) wasn't allowed to have one because of where we lived, so I ended up making friends with all the strays, and dogs through fences.. I still remember this cute dog I met on a summer holiday. I hung out with this dog the whole time, and there were tears when we had to leave.

It’s hard to remember exactly how I interacted with dogs as a kid. It feels so different now with all the experience and knowledge I’ve gained, yet it’s still so similar—the magic of connecting with such an incredible animal remains the same.

Ps: I can have all the dogs now 😁.
