Luna the Jug 🐶✨

The second visit from today, Lovely Luna. She gets so frustrated when visitors leave, she’d nip the person leaving in the chaos 😬

Today we introduced a super simple calming protocol… and just look at this before & after from one session! 🥰

Excuse the terrible camera work! 😆

Bella the Rott 💪🐾

The first visit of today, beautiful Bella 😍

After a traumatic vet visit, Bella started growling when her ears were touched — even by her own humans 😞

Just 1 week later… she's calmly practising ear checks like a pro!
Still a journey ahead, but what a fabulous start! 🧡

As you can probably tell, I'm totally useless at keeping social media updated with all the dogs I'm working with. Mainly because there are too many to keep up with, and there aren't enough hours in a day (anyone know a social media manager!? 🤣)

However, I can't resist sharing the lovely Toby under the cherry blossom at Worden Park 🌸

It was the last session in his package today, refreshing his loose lead walking and recall after having the winter off. Such vital skills for any dog, let alone a big bouncy boy, right in the thick of adolescence 🐾

Toby and his family have done so well, I cant wait to hear how he grows and develops 👏🥳

I've been trying to hold this in for so long, but the cat's finally out of the bag!

I'm so excited for this collaboration, and to be able to help more people than ever in an area that is not only so vitally needed to help dogs feel more comfortable at the vets and bridge gaps between services, but also because its an issue so close to my heart.

There are so many dogs not able to get the help they need or live their best lives because of their behaviour. Freya was one of these dogs and it was heartbreaking to see, especially because her issues were so intertwined with medical issues 💜

We need to do better for our dogs, and hopefully this is a huge step in the right direction.

So, whether you just need a quick visit for some gentle, positive exposure to the vets, help with muzzle training, want to teach your dogs how to tolerate vital health checks and medical procedures, or something more in depth, feel free to reach out directly to myself or Chorley Vets to book in and start your journey 😃🐾

Phoenix had her first glimpse into her future stooge dog duties today... helping Poppy the Bulgarian rescue to not find the world so terrifying. She did me so proud 🥰💜🐾
