TIME OFF!! 🍷

We are currently taking some last-minute, personal time off until Thursday!!

Not going to lie we've had a very difficult couple of weeks and we might as well move in to the local hospital 🙈

I have however learnt something recently.. I provide support for my clients. They know they can message at all hours, I will often reply when I'm out. I'll send homework, I'll film help for people with my own dogs, they know they can message me when they've had a really bad day and they know I'll cheer them on when they've had a win.

Does this mean that sometimes I have days where I've got 20 people on the phone to me struggling? Yes.

Does this mean sometimes I can get a little drained and have a mild break-down? Yes.

But do you know what that also means??

When I'm going through 💩 that all of my close clients (I hate calling them that - they're friends!) rally around me to make sure I'm okay!

I've had offers to walk the boys, I've had flowers, I've had coffee, I've had treats, I've had people checking up on me daily, I've had people sending me information for nurses and hospitals! People have been AMAZING!

I wouldn't have met any of these people if I didn't do this job.

Yes I'm feeling a bit soppy, but you meet some fantastic people through your dogs 🥰

THANK YOU GUYS!

We're currently taking some personal time off so obviously the best way to decompress is working your own dogs.

Kevin has hit that teenage stage where other dogs are mega interesting and he strops when he can't say hello... loudly. So we're out working on ignoring them and not saying hello when on the lead. So if I see you with Kevin when I'm out and don't let him say hello, think of it as you're helping us with our training in the long run! 🤣🤣🤣

I'm so glad I have Mr Sensible Sherlock who's so much easier... even though he happens to be deaf... still so much easier than Mr Teenager as you can see in this comparison video!! 😆

The art of doing nothing....

I have two dogs considered 'high energy' breeds. You will see on breed pages people suggest they have hours upon hours of exercise a day.

I always advocate obviously for dogs having exercise and training time but it's also important that they know the art of doing nothing.

This week has been all over the place, but something I'm grateful for is my dogs being able to relax and sleep even when they're getting little to no exercise and very limited training - temporarily. I've not had to worry about them settling, or leaving them, or their tea being at a slightly different time or rushing back to get them out for walks.

They don't have a routine, they don't pester for walks, if they don't get any they usually just have a play and then settle to sleep.

We've relied a lot on kong and natural chews this week - is this a substitute for exercise? Not at all, but they've done so well!

Today my class made me cry……..

I’ve had a couple of difficult weeks, I’ve had to rearrange some stuff this week too and was feeling a bit rubbish in general with everything, and then I turn up to class to be greeted by this from one of my Saturday classes!

They’ve organised this between themselves and I honestly wasn’t expecting it! 🥹

They are the loveliest group of people and they’ve made my week. And I need them to know they are all super appreciated!

You know who you are…. Thank you! Even if I’m sat having a bit of a cry again. If you bet on me crying, you’ve won 🥹🥹

Happy Mother’s Day!!! 🥹

Giving my mother a shoutout today, go check out her page: Debbies Drawings! She’s pretty good 🫢

She’s the first to help anyone, even when she’s got stuff going on herself AND she puts up with looking after my crazy dogs, she also stopped me quitting my job in January … which makes her even more amazing and the reason you all still have a dog trainer! 😂

Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you all had a great day!! ❤️

Lets talk boy dogs..... 🍒

When you have a boy dog, you have to accept that you might get boy dog problems... so here is Kevin soaking his boy bits in the bath 🙈

In a half serious, and a half funny manner...

We went to the beach last week, they had a great time running about on the sand and paddling in the sea and then we hopped into the van and went home.

I'd given them a quick towel off and they sat on nice blankets on the way home but as the evening progressed, Kevin got redder and redder to the point his little boy bits looked like tomatoes 🍅🍅
(Sorry to those that received pictures!!)

We spoke to a couple of vets, he's been washed, he's happy to soak in the bath, I've applied cream and they finally look normal again.

The things you do when you have a boy dog 🙈

So... learn something valuable from Kevin's experience... remember to thoroughly wash your boy dogs EVERYWHERE when you've been to the beach. Sand, salty water, and tomatoes are not a good combination 🤣🤣

Well done teenagers!! 😍🥹
