Top tip from the RSPCA 😄

☀️🧳 Do you have a summer holiday or weekend away booked?

Don’t forget to make arrangements for your pets well in advance! 🐶🐱

Pets can get stressed when you're away, which is why you should never leave your pets on their own without a responsible person to care for them 🧑

💭 You should know that:

👉 When someone else is looking after your pet, they also have a legal responsibility to ensure your pet’s welfare

👉 It’s a criminal offence to leave any animal without making proper arrangements for its welfare

Puppy Power 🐶 How cute is Possum? 😍

Good training exercises to teach your puppy;

🐾 Their name
🐾 Recall
🐾 Sit
🐾 Loose lead walking
🐾 Leave

Basic training helps us communicate with our dogs for a better relationship.

Teaching lifeskills, like coping with vet checks or being confident on walks, is just as important. This is where a trainer or behaviourist comes in useful.

If seeking a dog trainer/behaviourist be sure to check their qualifications, experience and that they use reward based, fear free training methods.

Punishment and fear based training can be detrimental to your puppies development.

Feel free to message to find out more ✌️

My generous mum donated all these goodies (and more) to the Rspca Ashley Heath animal centre! 🧸

How kind? I certainly get my love for animals from her 🫶

Food, toys and enrichment devices like those captured here are a sure way to help your dog feel good about their lives 😃

Giving things for your dog to lick and chew releases feel good hormones, keeps them occupied and contributes to feelings of contentment ☮️

Great for dogs displaying a range of behaviour problems from boredom to anxiety 😟

It’s an excellent and simple way to Improve your pets quality of life 🌞

Happy Days 😃

I’ve had lots of new visitors to my page lately and although I’m not active on social media I wanted to let you know that I will be available to take on new clients soon 🔜

Here I am pictured with my foster dog, Kevin, who has since been adopted 🥳

Kevin is a quirky little rescue dog 🐶

I looked after him like one of my own for five months whilst he recovered from major surgery.

His adopters adore him and I can’t wait to visit him in his new home 🏡

If you have any questions about my services drop me a message in my inbox and I’ll get back to you asap.

Have a nice day ☀️

Suns out tongues out 👅

Patch is a big strong dog and I’ve been working with his caregivers to teach him to respond to his name and walk loosely on the lead.

It’s an ongoing process for a young dog like him but he’s made great progress so far 🌟

Does your dog respond to you when you call their name whilst out on a walk?

I find this a really good way to gain their attention and give further direction.

A good game to play with your dog to help with this is ‘walkie-talkies’.

🐾Before you set off on your next walk prime yourself with lots of tasty dog treats
🐾Over the course of a 20-minute walk, aim to call your dog's name five times at varying intervals
🐾When they turn to look at you tell them ‘good dog’ and give them a tasty treat or two for responding

Eventually, you will find your dog naturally starts to check-in with you on walks making them easier to manage.

Be sure to enjoy walking your dog today on this sunny Sunday 😎
