Fun and support for the whole family!

The Mischief Journal: Walking with Fun, Focus, and Freedom

I created this journal to support dog guardians navigating life with emotionally challenged dogs. Designed for both you and your dog, it helps strengthen your bond, reduce stress, and find joy in your journey together.

Mindset shapes our experiences—shifting from frustration to understanding creates an environment where you both can thrive. This journal encourages you to recognize small wins, focus on engagement over struggles, and celebrate progress, even on tough days.

It’s not about perfection but about learning, growing, and building a relationship based on trust and patience. Every step forward brings you and your dog closer together—and that, in itself, is a success.

🐾 These books aren’t just about training—they’re about connection. They’re about making life easier, happier, and more fulfilling for both you and your dog.

🌐 Mutts & Mischief Virtual Office

Mutts and Mischief Holistic Education and Behaviour Services

At Mutts and Mischief, we provide online, accessible, and inclusive canine behaviour and training support worldwide. Led by accredited behaviourist Tasha Attwood ACB-KSA, our service specialises in collaborative care, emotional wellbeing, and force-free approaches tailored for every dog and guardian.
We offer one-to-one consultations, weekly interactive classes, and a growing library of educational resources and books. We are proud to support dogs and their families with compassion, science, and heart.

Mutts & Mischief is an autistic-led service, shaped by lived experience of neurodiversity. This means we put accessibility, clarity, and compassion at the heart of every interaction — supporting both dogs and their guardians in ways that feel safe, inclusive, and stress-free.

✨ The Purpose of the Virtual Office
Mutts & Mischief is proudly hosted at Spark House, University of Lincoln, Rope Walk, giving the practice a professional base. From here, we run a fully virtual office so you can access expert help no matter where you are in the UK or beyond.

Our virtual office is designed to make behaviour and training support stress-free, accessible, and professional for both guardians and dogs.

🐾 Why It’s Beneficial for Guardians and Dogs

🚘 No travel stress: No need for journeys, busy halls, or managing a worried dog in public.

🌍 Accessible anywhere: Whether you’re local or further afield, support is available to you.

📂 Replay and reflect: You’ll have a client folder with resources, journals, and video tutorials.

📩 Ongoing support: Step-by-step resources help you between sessions so you’re never alone.

I’m proud to share that Mutts & Mischief is now an official Business Supporter of the Association for Firework Legislation Reform.
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AUgaVKnvX/?mibextid=wwXIfr

This comes after watching the incredible movement behind the Redwings petition — and the incredibly disappointing UK Government response that fireworks won’t be banned because they bring enjoyment to “some" before this year's Redwings Petition.

The Government’s standard petition responses on fireworks have included statements suggesting that:
• fireworks are “an important tradition enjoyed by many,”
• and that community awareness and responsible use should be encouraged by individuals.

In recent responses, they have indeed implied that citizens encouraging considerate behaviour is part of the solution — without committing to legislative change.

Many things bring enjoyment to some — but that doesn’t excuse the impact they have on countless lives. Enjoyment for a few should never outweigh the welfare, safety and mental health of animals, guardians, wildlife, veterans, individuals with disabilities and neurodivergent individuals. 23/10/2025

As a canine behaviourist, I see the fallout every single year:
• trembling
• bolting
• pacing
• shutdowns
• sudden reactivity
• and the dogs who simply cannot cope

This is not a training issue.
It’s a welfare issue.
Fear cannot be reinforced — and guardians are absolutely not to blame.

By supporting AFLR, I’m adding my voice to call for:
✨ Tighter, sensible regulation
✨ Reduced public sale
✨ Predictable, licensed displays
✨ Protection for animals & vulnerable groups
✨ Welfare-first policy over “enjoyment for some”

If you’d like support tonight, I’ve created several resources to help you and your dog:

Together, we can keep pushing for compassion over convenience — and safety over “enjoyment for some.”
