My little oakie bear :)
first photo of both my dogs in one image, in a long time that ive fully liked... im for sure getting this printed...
going in the pile of photos im getting printed to test out fine art print company so i can start sell actually pysical copies rather than just digital...
im really feeling more professional as i go further with this and im throughly enjoying every step
I think little milo enjoyed his first walk with the labby girls.
Bit of a drive between these clients but worth it if the pups make new friends.
Found a new place to take photos...
My Willow as usually was the perfect model
many more photos sorted and edited this evening from the Meadow view agility comp... so many wonderful dogs, makes the hours fly by when editing and bringing out their beauty...
Happy 7th birthday to beautiful Ava bear...
Here's to many more years 😊
What a strange visit with out Miss Silver.
All the others were over joyed to see me after a couple weeks no visit..
Siri the couch potato shiba was darting about and jump at me...
Oh such sad news.
Sliver closed her eyes for the last time on Monday.
Going to be so strange visiting the rest of the pack tomorrow and Silver not be there.
She was a lovely girl, I spent a lot of time gaining her trust due to her being very nervous. Took over a year to get this far, where she was actually enjoying the fuss and my company.
I used to have to call her in, but the last few weeks she'd run back to her bed when she saw me getting ready to go in, lay down and wait for me... I had started to massage her back and legs due to pains she was having. I think she was enjoying them massages...
So special to gain trust from such a nervous dog.
Video is from my last visit with them last month.
Youre all free from pain now, fly free at the bridge Silver. You will be very much missed by all of us
Buddys first run..
He ran so well.
I see a few mistakes I made, mostly my cues are a little late for him and so it delays him as he has to readjust his footing/direction...
Mostly my brain not going fast enough for him haha...
Buddy did phenomenal today.
He grabbed him self a clear round and i dont think he was too far off being placed.
His fastest run he did make a few mistakes on, But nothing we can't improve on.
Overall I'm super proud, and he's throughly enjoy it all.
Found a lovely place for photography...
Lots of logs and stump and folage to position dogs around and on and a stream I could wade in.
Would love to get proper water shots that I think my mer-dog, willow, would be up for.
Oh look baby ferrets for me to cuddle.... don't mind if I do 😅
Been a while since ive handled, these furry noodles with adhd 🤣...
No I'm not leash training and taking them on walks.... not sure all my doggie clients would enjoy them hahaha.
although I think my willow would have a great time, she's always prodding the guinea pig to play a of its a tiny puppy... ferrets would more than love to play back.
I love recommending other walkers and pet carers to potencial clients if what i offer doesnt suit them or I believe their dog would suit being with another walker over me.
we all offer something different that dogs and their parent would need or want.
heres a little list made by another walker i always recommend.
Oh I dislike hot days anything above 21-23'c is the the worst.
Hate having to cancel walks. Risking heat stroke isn't worth it.
Able to do visits which roxy here and buddy enjoyed.
Hopefully thi weekend coming isn't too bad for buddys agility comp.
tried to capture some nice ones of Buddy jumping today. Hard to do when you the one asking him to jump, making sure he does just run about the jump, as youre not their to guide him. he did extremely well, barely any mistakes...
taking him to a comp next sunday, this time with a competetive mind set, rather than just testing how he feels in such an envirmoment.
Nellie a staffie always with a massive smile :)
pretty girl surrounded by flowers
Ava is just so B-E-A-uuuutiful dog :P
Love those blue eyes 😍
Millie and I first walk, she's still timid to me but she did show she is growing more comfortable with me...
She did not want to go near my car, so could go explore the countryside, I suspect being a rescue dog who finally found her forever home that she loves, she did not want to leave for any reason... so just local walks till she much more comfortable with me, slowly build up her Confiendce with me 😊. In a few walks time I'll introduce my little oak...
1 spaniel 2 spaniel 3 spaniel...
Connie, Harvey and Ginny.. all with their biggest smiles 😃
Was an absolute joy looking after this little man Gus for the week. so on the last day i did a mini photoshoot with him.
I tried to capture that "Collie herding sheep" look. hes very good at that.
And Trixie (Belletrix) turnd 2 today.
Such a weird bundle of energy she is, took ages to get this photo due to her wiggliness and hate of the camera pointing at her.
Happy birthday to NevNev (Neville)
He turned 6 a couple days ago, completely forgot due to how busy I am.
A few photos of aome beautiful dogs that i took of at the Ryhall Fete.
These were a few of the ones that got a mini photoshoot from me on the day. i took many more of others, but love how these few came out.
it was an experience but i definetly enjoyed doing it, and would love to do more like it but improve on how i did it... i have ideas, just got to put it all together
6 in the morning walk.
sun was up and it wasn't warm in the slightest even little trixie enjoy her time running about
And a bonus, The roads were super clear.
So hot.
Too hot.
Help we're melting 🫠
One early walk with this lot then I just a couple visits. Tomorrow will be the same, but got to try do two early walks and more visits.
Another warm day, so cut agility to a couple runs and then just mulled about and rested...
Gonna be a hot couple days. So sadly Its Likely walks will be cancelled. Although luckily only one walk tomorrow and a visit, but Tuesdays my buisyest day... so well see what happens.
Gus joined us for some agility training...
Although he just played his own games.
Connie and Harvey did a little but felt too hot too keep them running about the whole session. So we just played and relaxed a little extra today instead...

Buddys first run.. He ran so well. I see a few mistakes I made, mostly my cues are a little late for him and so it delays him as he has to readjust his footing/direction... Mostly my brain not going fast enough for him haha...
Millie the over day during my first visit with her.... who said she Ms shy haha. Look at her teaing me to chase her...
A simple setup I like to do once dogs understand a few of the basic commands and moves... Nice low jumps for many reps with out the intensity on the joints. Look at willow having a great time.
Willow showing off some tricks Not done criss cross in a while. Always one she gets confused on, because I mix my words up all the time.
Absolutely amazing time during Buddy first competition. We've only been training together for 4 and a half months, so a little premature for competing him, this was more to see how he'd be in such a situation, And he excelled. Im so proud of him. His jumping was nice and smooth, listen and focused so well on me and the course. Mistakes were mostly me getting lost. I'd sat photographing other people running and I still got lost haha. Two of his runs in this video. Thank you to buddys parents for bringing him and recording and tbh entrustinf him with me
Had to run the girls too willow and luna... 8 and 9 years old and still run courses super well... even catching on to my new words fast, I've change a few bits since I ran these two in competitions. With willow I said the wrong word at the end, said "away" instead of "over". away is for layering stuff I may enter them in to small veteran runs, as,l they just love the sport still.. I will see how things are when I'm booking in the other 3 in to events.
Buddys too first mini course... He's so lovely to run, and such a patient boy when he's waiting his turn. Usually a collie is all hobby when watching other dogs run but he's so quite. Saves the ear and having a headache...looking at you luna-rea
Harvey and Connie's first time on a mini course. They did amazing. They kept focused and enthusiastic the whole way round... So proud at how they have progressed. Going to increasing some speed and drive.. get them blasting through that tunnel without a second thought haha...
To think they're going to be such good friends... On way back I had both zipping and zooming about. Nice to see my oak open to playing... like my willow, although they can walk with most dogs, they're picky who the actually play with... oakie enjoyed milo from the get go..
No rain so you'd think dry dogs. Nah let's have a paddle haha.. client request 😅 Although for once they were dry by the time they got back to the car. It was that warm today 😅 weather's changing... soon we'll be moaning it too hot...
Connie doing amazing at the game, she runs full out and has such a blast playing this game... I switched a post for a tunnel, to help get more tunnel work in. Increase that drive to it and speed through them. 😊
Connie and Harvey practicing some go rounds and wraps. They're starting to run and drive on ahead of me now 😊 they just absolutely love these little games...
While the other 4 are in the garden, me and Siri have a quick play... unless it's sunny she doesn't venture into the garden. So we do this 🥰
Niskas first car search, She did amazing, focused so well for who she is there were 4 hides, all Kong. one tin, 2 pieces and a pipette. Video is of the last two, pipette and piece. She has such a lovely sit indication and now she's giving me a down. Once we finished we did a little walk and she was much calmer than normal. Scent work really helps ground somw dogs, bringing all those arousal levels down. My oakley was in the car too, she gave no notice of him, even when he did give a couple of squeaky barks.
