A bit late to the party, but HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!
A crazy busy 2025 had been and gone and straight into a busy 2026 already. I haven't stopped much at all and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart to you all for keeping me me busy.
A bit of a change this year and new things are afoot. For now though, I'm concentrating on the immensely crazy Crufts in March on the Kids Around Dogs stand, where I'll be chatting about dog training, dog and child safety/interactions, school visits and a whole load more... I'm looking forward to seeing you there, come and meet the team!
Like I said before, lots of new things coming together this year. I'm still fully booked for new dog walking clients, no training spaces available in this first half of the year and pet sitting is limited this year and a lot of dates taken already for next year.
Please remember, even though if I'm booked or unavailable for a service, I can usually recommend someone else. I will always choose someone with the skills and the same ethics and welfare values as myself. I'd NEVER choose anyone who uses slip leads/choke chains/shock or prong collars/figure of 8 leads/anything that tightens around the face or any aversive treatment. I will NEVER recommend someone who charges money to abuse your beloved pets, especially in the name of 'training' in return for a quick fix. That isn't training in any stretch of the imagination. The damage caused both emotionally and physically is absolutely unacceptable .
If you've got any questions on anything, including looking for recommendations, please don't hesitate to give me a shout.
