I've defeated baby Kevin! 😆

As a trainer I can obviously find training addictive, and I am a little bit guilty of working my dogs too much to the point I have to tell myself to give them a rest 🙈

Kevin has had a busy week so far....

Monday
- 1 hour walk, 1.5 hours training in car parks and shops and a 30 minute walk later on.

Tuesday
- 2 hour walk and train around a shopping centre and then a 1 hour group walk with 4 other dogs in a new place.

Wednesday
- 45 minute walk and run and then a 2 hour afternoon trip including a session at a uni with 4 other dogs.

On all of these days he's done more mental exercise than physical. He's in new places, working on lead walking and impulse control and ignoring distractions!

Throughout the week he must have ignored around 30-40 dogs, at least 250 people, politely walked next to four dogs in a group walk, and was able to say hello to around 20 new people politely.

He's done mixture of physical exercise, mental exercise, ignoring distractions and socialising and he is WIPED OUT.

Tomorrow he will be having a complete day off to catch up on his rest and process everything he's done over the last three days! 😁

One of my most important 'business assets' is actually Mr Sensible... Sherlock.

Of course that's not how I see him, he's my favourite first child, but the way he helps nervous dogs makes him absolutely valuable to me and my clients 🥹

Today we went for a lovely group walk, several of us meet up regularly but today we brought Bambi!! She's a young dog that can be a little bit nervous around dogs and new people so we took her on a no pressure walk!!

She was fantastic! Brave enough to have a few sniffs, tail wagging away, making friends with new people and importantly there were no reactions! Even to dogs walking past! 😁

Sherlock will sit and ignore and allow the other dogs to sniff him and approach with zero reactions or moving, he'll walk alongside new dogs whilst ignoring them but also will happily play if invited (him and Labrador Cadi got very excited to see each other - cue her having another boyfriend 😆)

Great way to spend a Sunday morning! We got a few looks with our multicolour Equafleece dogs! 🥹

Business update 💚

I am a team of one, which means sometimes time gets the better of me.

This year has been one of a kind, from raising baby Kevin, to losing a grandparent suddenly, to another being seriously ill for the last 12 months, to moving house and combining two dog-households, the van breaking, our first dog holiday, being ill for two weeks; it's been full of ups and downs.

That's not then taking into account everything that comes with running your own business such as advertising, social media, taxes and accounts, teaching classes, planning classes, booking in 1-1s, CPD such as first aid and training courses, answering emails/whatsapps/facebooks/instagram and text messages, whilst training your own dogs to a level that they can come to work with you.

THEN that's not taking on board the fact I also tutor dozens upon dozens of students which require their work marking and support throughout their courses.
I also take on work experience students from universities to help them with their studies too.

So that does mean sometimes a message might slip through the net, homework might occasionally be a bit late, I might send out 9 of the 10 pieces of information I've promised from a class but always politely send me a nudge and I'll get back to you!

Running your own business when you're a team of one is fantastic, I wouldn't do anything else, but also it means there's no one else to take any responsibility 😂

You know when your dog picks the worst moment to thoroughly embarrass you? 😆

Took my bombproof baby Kevin to the local raw food shop to get weighed.

He’s not phased by anything, people, dogs, sounds, surfaces, things moving, doesn’t care about fireworks, Halloween decorations in peoples gardens aren’t a problem etc….

Cue arriving at Cave Dog Ltd and him having the biggest barking meltdown at a treat stand on the wall 🙈 barking, pulling to leave, first time I’ve ever seen his tail between his legs 🙈

Everyone in the shop turns around to see what on earth is going on as we then have to work Kevin back and to, to get him calm enough to be weighed.

Having to pop him back in my sign written van advertising training really was the cherry on top of the cake 😆

Career over. Retirement incoming.
Apologies to the staff at cave dog 😂🙈

A massive shout out to FreshandTasty for our coffee stop and dog treats on our class trip!! 🥹

Real life training is so important, and it’s so nice to have a local place that was so accommodating and dog friendly!! 🐾

I popped them a message to check us descending on them was okay, and they couldn’t have been nicer. Fast service, friendly staff, loved the dogs, and they even had treats ready for when we got there!! 🥰

We drew quite a crowd!!

Highly recommend!! 🐾
