Why is it such a gross rainy day? It makes entertaining your dog that bit harder so here is 5 easy enrichment games to keep your dog busy indoors 🌧️

As much as I’d love to walk your dog in the rain, here are 5 ideas for if you don’t fancy it or don’t have someone to go for you!

1. Muffin tin challenge: Pop a few treats into a muffin tray and place tennis balls or scrunched paper over the top so your dog has to work out how to uncover them.
2. Towel treasure hunt: Roll treats up inside a towel and let them work out how to unwrap it.
3. Find it: Hide treats around one room and encourage your dog to sniff and search.
4. Frozen lick mat / stuffed Kong: Keeps them occupied and can help them settle afterwards.
5. Mini training session: Even just 5–10 minutes practising sit, stay, paw, spin, or learning a new trick can be surprisingly tiring.

Mental enrichment can tire dogs out just as much as physical exercise sometimes 🐶

ATTENTION ALL DOG OWNERS 🐶🐾☀️

Hi all! As a local dog walker all of my clients pups will be getting garden/shaded exercise and indoor mental stimulation while the weather is over 23c if I can’t walk them bright and early or late.

LOTS of us will be at the Beccles Food and Drink Festival tomorrow, but temperatures are expected to be 24c+ so pavement temps will be over 50c!!! 🥵🥵🥵

How can you tell if it’s too hot to walk your dog?

The “5 second pavement test”:
Press the back of your hand against the pavement for 5 seconds. If it is too hot, painful, or uncomfortable for your skin to hold it there, it is too hot for your dog's paws.

Your dogs breed and coat make the likelihood of heatstroke vary greatly. YOUR DOG WOULD RATHER YOU LEAVE THEM AT HOME.
The fatality rate for heatstroke in dogs is 26% WITH veterinary care.

Please be cautious and if in doubt leave them at home or in the shade, if you’d like indoor entertainment ideas to help stop them wrecking the house this heatwave please message me and I’ll give you 10 ideas for free!

Lunch time well spent with Mavi 🐾
In our 30-minute visit we worked on his “lay down” command, reinforced potty training, practiced recall, enjoyed outdoor time, and finished with play, cuddles, and lunch. Mental stimulation and structure are just as important as exercise, especially for puppies! Setting him up for a sleepy afternoon until his owner returns ☺️

Comment if you’d love to spend your lunchtime with this little guy ❤️

Sweet Honey 🍯 – a seven-year-old Romanian rescue – and a little reminder that I have plenty of experience with nervous and sensitive pups who just need time, patience, and kindness.

When I arrived, Honey was unsure without her owner home, so we took things slowly. I waited for her to feel safe, let her set the pace, and soon enough we were off on a gentle walk, followed by dinner and a well-earned cuddle 🤍

If your dog needs a calm, understanding walker who truly listens to them, I’d love to help.

Puppy won’t drop your socks? 🧦
Start here instead of chasing or forcing it
This is step one for teaching “drop” using exchange + praise 🐶
Save this & follow for part 2 ✨

Here's my crate routine I follow every time we nap or sleep for a successful happy pup: (with a tip on how to correct when pup gives you a down instead of sit)
1) Awake for 90 mins before with lots of enrichment, exercise and training.
2) Something fun like a stuffed Kong, puzzle ball or dentastick in his crate!
3) Cover to create distraction free dark environment!
And that's it! We've done this since 12 weeks old for every nap and you can see he loves his routine and we can safely get things done without waking him every 5 mins!

Teaching my little guy self control with clarity, not confusion 🧠🐾

I always give a separate reward before the release cue — and this is why ⬇️

When I place treats on the ground, my dog is in a down + wait. Those treats are not available yet, even though they’re right in front of him. Before I ever say the release word, I calmly reward him from my hand for holding the wait.

This teaches an important concept:
➡️ Waiting is one behavior
➡️ Getting released to food is a different behavior

By separating the two, he learns that food on the ground doesn’t automatically mean he can take it. If there’s ever something unsafe, dropped food, or a distraction on the floor, he understands that only the release cue makes it fair game — not the presence of food itself.

That extra hand-fed reward builds:
• impulse control
• clarity around boundaries
• confidence in waiting for guidance

Short sessions, calm corrections, lots of clarity. By round 3, no corrections needed 🖤

I had unrealistic puppy expectations… and my puppy humbled me REAL fast 🫠🐶
So here are 3 expectations I had and what actually helped ⬇️

1️⃣ Expectation:
“He’ll walk nicely on the lead because… why wouldn’t he?”
Reality:
Every walk was a negotiation, protest, or full-body refusal.
Fix:
I stopped expecting “perfect walks” and started rewarding tiny wins - lots of walking up and down the driveway using s U turn and green circle method and now he’s so so much better already!

2️⃣ Expectation:
“If I exercise him enough, he’ll be calm at home.”
Reality:
An overtired puppy = a feral puppy.
Fix:
More enforced naps, and sticking to wake windows that are recommended for his age. I learned that puppies need rest just as much as stimulation — enforced nap times saved my sanity.

3️⃣ Expectation:
“He’ll know I’m the boss and listen because I love him.”
Reality:
Love is not a training plan.
Fix:
Clear boundaries + consistency. Same rules every day, calm energy, and teaching him what to do instead of just correcting what not to do.

Raising a puppy isn’t about having the “perfect dog” — it’s about becoming the kind of human they can learn from 💛
If you’re in the thick of puppy chaos… you’re not failing. You’re learning.
