Today’s Socially Distanced Dog Walk Club was at Rushmere Country Park. We had to navigate a few off leaders but most people were very respectful.

It’s a beautiful space if you haven’t been, there are toilets and a cafe there. It’s very well run & you do feel like you’re in the middle of Centre Parcs!

Everyone who came really enjoyed this one.

The last few weeks have been busy with solo puppy classes, one to one training, training walks & general training & behaviour consultations.

So what kind of work have we been covering through the training I provide?

Firstly it’s all positive reinforcement training. We use food rewards, toys and the environment to motivate your dog to learn & modify & change behaviours.

Puppy classes. We have been supporting owners with general life skills such as settling, choosing the right chews, crate training, toilet training and choosing the right cues or commands to suit each individual puppy.

One puppy has been barking at the television so we have been looking at why this is happening and how we can change this.

Another puppy is worried about the outside world. It’s so over stimulating. So we’ve been building confidence by playing certain games that we can then play outside to encourage the pup to feel more connected to something they enjoy.

Another adult dog won’t come in from the garden so the owners have got into a pattern of chasing the dog around the garden which has now become a game for the dog. So we are changing things here by adding a training long line, teaching an alternative recall, the counting game and playing scent work.

I’m loving how the weather is changing from a very challenging hot summer easing us into dropped leaves, pumpkins, & the smell of fire wood in the air šŸ šŸŽƒ

One to one puppy classes

General training with dogs who are worried about other dogs and people

Our Sunday social walk was in Pitstone today. Such a lovely area of beauty and sheep! We love it when the sheep are grazing as normally it means all dogs are on lead! I think the law changing has helped!

Drinking lots of tea

Chilling out & making jam

Just a little reminder of the services I offer as a solo dog walker & trainer.

Solo dog walks for up to 3 dogs from the same house

I can provide either a 30 or 60 minute walk in a paid local enclosed field.

I provide one to one puppy classes in the comfort of your own home. A one off session or ideally a booking of 4, 6 or 12.

Support with training & behaviour.

Walk & train sessions for those clients who have already put foundation behaviours into place or who are working through implementing this with their dog.

I run a Sunday social walk for dogs who may be worried/frustrated by other dogs and or people. It is also suitable for puppies. This is an on lead walk only.

🐾 Today is Lymphoma Awareness Day.

Lymphoma is a common type of canine cancer, especially in middle-aged dogs.

It can show up in different ways, but a common sign is enlarged lymph nodes.

āœ… Normally, lymph nodes are small, soft, and hard to notice.

🩺 If they feel firm or enlarged, don’t panic – we are here to help.

šŸ“ž Call us to book a Ā£25 Lump Check with a vet or visit our website Offers page to find out more and book online.

Offer ends 31 October 2026. T&Cs apply.

For many years we fed Hend out of 2 ceramic spaniel bowls but over the years these broke and were replaced with the typical plastic slow feeder type bowls for his food. His water bowl remained ceramic and more recently we changed to metal.

However I do hold some guilt that the chemicals that may leach out of some of these bowls may well have contributed towards Henderson’s salivary gland cancer, which is rare in dogs.

Many cheaper pet bowls we buy in the UK can leach chemicals which can cause inflammation, cellular changes which may lead to cancer. These bowls can be ceramic, plastic and sometimes but rarely metal.

Some of the chemicals that can leach out of these might be

Bisphenol A (BPA)
Lead & Cadium
Phthalates
PFA’s

So please consider the bowls you are using for your dogs and do your own research on the safest types of food & water bowls we can use for our dogs and more importantly all our pets.

I will be discarding all of my plastic bowls and using them for plants in the garden or more than likely they will go into the bin.

I’ve raised this just in case it resonates with anyone who are in the process of changing their dogs/pets bowls.

I created this as it captured exactly how I was feeling.

As we had planned Henderson’s passing weeks in advance, the anticipatory grief was exhausting. Looking at him knowing we were facilitating an ending ourselves with the dog we loved unconditional was empowering yet still deeply upsetting.

I hope this infographic touches someone else who may be feeling similar feelings.

We are returning back from Wales today and next week is a new start for both me and Don individually but also collectively as we navigate life temporarily without a dog.

Henderson - Sunset 8th Sept 2026

An ode to Hend

Mentally, physically and spiritually this has been a dreadful time for us having to saying goodbye to you. We hope we have given you a dignified & peaceful passing surrounded by us who loved you unconditionally. We didn’t want you to suffer any longer with the cancer, we are sure at times you must of felt in pain and uncomfortable, this pains us too.

Making a choice to let you go as an active dog over to pastures new is something we found so hard. In the end a dignified passing is what we all want for ourselves and our loved ones & at least we can provide this respect for our much loved pets.

Henderson you brought us so much joy, happiness & Peter Pan energy into our lives. You were/are the most gentle, kind and connected soul.

We will feel and hopefully see your energy around us in the coming days, weeks, months & years. For now go and be free Henderson. Enjoy your release & freedom from this world. Go and hit whoever you meet on your next journey with your effervescent springer spaniel energy ✨

Your guardians will miss you until the end of their lives. We love you Hend šŸ’”
