🌟 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐨! 🌟⁣
⁣
This cheeky 2-year-old French Bulldog has had quite the journey so far! Born with several health issues, Milo wasn’t expected to survive puppyhood — but thanks to his amazing owner’s love, care and determination, he’s defied every single odd. 🐾💪⁣
⁣
Because of his tough start, Milo’s devoted owner quite understandably prioritised 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦. Fast forward to today — with clever management plans, dedicated care and lots of heart — Milo is absolutely 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨!⁣
⁣
Now that he’s feeling full of life (and mischief 😅), a few behaviours have started to pop up that need a little fine-tuning. It’s been such a joy working with Milo and his owner at 𝐏𝐚𝐰𝐬 ‘𝐧’ 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥, helping them build more structure and focus — not to suppress that huge personality, but to redirect it in positive, healthy ways. ✨⁣
⁣
We’re still on this journey together, and I’m so looking forward to seeing how far this brilliant duo can go! 💛⁣

🎃 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐮𝐧! 💀⁣
⁣
To celebrate the season, we turned training into theatre — teaching our Middleton Obedience class the classic “Bang!” (a.k.a. playing dead).⁣
⁣
It’s not just a party trick — it builds body awareness, impulse control, and a stronger connection between dog and handler… plus, it’s hilarious.⁣
⁣
The dogs gave it their all — some dramatic, some slightly confused, all brilliant.⁣
⁣
Here’s to spooky training sessions and happy, learning pups from Paws ’n’ Heal! 🐾

𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐰𝐬 ‘𝐧’ 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥! 🌪️🐶⁣
⁣
We began with a truly important and emotional day in 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, speaking up about 𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐞. It was a sobering reminder of the vital role our animals play in our lives — and how much they rely on us for safety, comfort and love. ❤️🐾 Being able to advocate for them felt incredibly meaningful.⁣
⁣
Then we ended the week with some much-needed lightness at 𝐏𝐮𝐩𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐇𝐨𝐰𝐥-𝐨-𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭! 🎃⁣
I loved hosting a session at their 𝘎𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭 𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭, where we talked about how to help our pets enjoy Halloween as much as we do:⁣
⁣
✨ How costumes can affect their feelings and behaviour⁣
🧙‍♀️ Ways to keep them confident and comfortable⁣
🦇 Choosing outfits that won’t leave them fidgeting like mad⁣
⁣
Everyone who joined brought such thoughtful questions — we even found ourselves diving into the fireworks conversation (because of course we did… and yes, fireworks are still the worst 💥🙄).⁣
⁣
Now, I’m looking ahead to a wonderfully jam-packed week to come. One thing I’m constantly learning as a dog trainer is that 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 can happen — and usually does! But the unexpected moments often become the most joyful, hilarious, and heart-warming ones. 🐕✨⁣
⁣
Here’s to more learning, more wagging, and more celebrating the special bond we share with our pets. 💛🐾⁣

After Ethel’s dino pants stole the show yesterday, it’s only right that Mitsy gets her turn in the spotlight — and just look at her, 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘻𝘻𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘢! 🌸⁣

Middleton Obedience class might just be the most stylish obedience group around — good manners and good fashion sense! ✨

𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐥’𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠-𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞! 🦖💅⁣
⁣
Our lovely Ethel came to puppy class at 15 weeks old — she’s all grown up and now strutting into Middleton obedience like the sophisticated lady she is.⁣
⁣
Thankfully it’s an all-girl group, so she’s still very much part of the gang. And those dino pants… I mean, 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘯. Practical and prehistoric? Absolute trendsetter. 🐾✨

Yes! I say this to clients all the time. Depending on what stage of the journey your dog is at, sometimes the 'misbehaviour' can be a great training opportunity.

Reactive behaviours are best handled under the supervision of a professional but the mindset shift can be so much of the battle.

Sometimes if we see inconveniences as training opportunities, it can help shift our mindset.

When working on door reactions it can be hard to find friends to knock repeatedly.

Halloween could be just the challenge we’ve been working towards.

Walk early to avoid trigger stacking, then get the treats ready. And if you want to turn off all the lights and hide, that’s okay too!

Bonfire Night might be magical for us, but for our dogs, it can feel like the sky’s falling. Sudden bangs, flashes and crackles can leave even the bravest pups trembling or hiding under the bed.⁣
