Riley - finally happy to eat! 😁
6 months ago we took the plunge and tried Different Dog We'd tried so many foods, but nothing seemed to satisfy our fussy pup! We have not looked back since switching. It does cost a small fortune but we're just so happy to still be getting clean bowls every meal.
Why not give it try and receive a discount on your first box. Would be great for Kongs, lickimats, training rewards etc too.

Been out looking for potential mantrailing venues this afternoon 🐾🙂
It was a year ago yesterday that we received Riley's hip dysplasia diagnosis. Our already shakey relationship shattered even more 😪 It's no secret he was a difficult puppy but I guess we had some answers - his HD no doubt fueling some of his behaviour.
I was gutted. I cried. I felt cheated. I'd sought a health tested puppy for the first time and I was dealt a blow like this. I had no idea what our life could be. I was just told "restrictions". He was 8 months old! A working breed. He hates restrictions!
Luckily a few weeks in, I found an amazing hip dysplasia management group and have learnt so much to support him. I now see a life of possibilities rather than restrictions.
One of our "detours" on life's journey was trying our hand at mantrailing. I don't think I'd have ever tried it had it not been for his HD. I've never found the buzz for scentwork, but this was something we could do together, in a controlled manner, and it worked his brain. It changed our life. Our relationship and understanding of each other grew. We were communicating. He's turned into an amazing trailing dog. He blows me away with how good he is and rarely do I give him credit for the good bits about him ❤️
Our difficult dogs are here to teach us, and take us on journeys we didn't see coming. I'm looking forward to bringing Mantrailing to even more dogs. I love the inclusiveness and community that comes with it. I thank my difficult Puppy-Dup for bringing it into our lives (and our amazing instructors).

2 months in and we still LOVE Different Dog food. This makes me soooo happy 😊
Riley has been a hard dog to feed since about 6 months old. We tried all sorts. I'm so glad we've found something he likes.

Today is #nationalloveyourpetday 🐾
I will admit I've not always loved Riley. He was very hard as a puppy. Super bitey (still can be) and hated being left those first few weeks. There was talk of returning him. What had we taken on? Not the puppy I imagined having at all.
He's 18 months now. We still have our struggles with handling. We still like to mouth. Life can be super exciting! He puts everything into his weekly hydro and he's a keen trailing dog. I love him for opening up that opportunity for us. It's really helped us bond and build our relationship and understanding. I'm so glad we found it.
We still have a long way to go, but my love grows for handsome boy all the time. Keep on challenging and teaching me Puppy-Dup ❤️
