Auntie Nattie's World of Dogs

04/06/2026

As someone who's been thinking about rehoming/adopting and maybe you have been too? - Viv from Walkies Dog Behaviour & Training has written an incredibly insightful read here!

It's so important to take things slow with these darlings, fight the urge to over compensate for where their lives have been up until you get them; it's natural to want to shower with love and give them everything you can give - but first things first, show them the love by giving them time and space they need to settle in, give them everything they need in the way of creating a safe place, going at their pace, and easing them in gently to try and avoid overwhelm❤️

🐾 If there is one piece of advice I could give anyone bringing home a rescue dog, it would be this:

Slow everything down.

Many rescue dogs arrive in their new homes carrying far more change than we realise.

Some have spent time in kennels.
Some have travelled across countries.
Some have lost the only home they’ve ever known.

It’s natural to want to introduce them to everyone, start training, visit new places, and help them settle in as quickly as possible.

But often, what they need most is the opposite.

Time to rest.
Time to observe.
Time to feel safe.
Time to learn that this new world isn’t going anywhere.

The world will still be there when they are ready.

I’ve just published a new guide on helping rescue dogs settle into their new homes, covering everything from decompression and sleep to body language, enrichment, introductions, and building confidence.

Hello my loves, it's been a while🐶 how are you all? I hope you and your darlings are all happy and keeping cool in this weather, hasn't it been hot🌞

I feel asthough I have reached quite an exciting point in my world of dogs, as we know I made the decision to bring the dog walking to an end in April; this led to me having some time to find myself, think about what really matters and look for opportunities that are going to help me grow as a person, gain even more experience and be able to use my knowledge to educate and forfill the yearning that I have.

My ultimate goal is to create a space to help you and your doggos live a happy life together - whether that be through raising awareness, sharing information, talking and creating conversations about the things that matter, sharing other professionals and businesses that align with myself, the topics are endless in my work and online.

Whilst I am currently not working, I have gained a job with dogs that will be starting after summer, I have been doing some more learning - currently completing a course in Holistic Health for Dogs and have been looking for more to complete. I have had the chance to see some of my old clients (now friends) to have a catch up and cuddle with the dogs and have more to see soon and I've been able to help out some of my said friends with their dogs on those sos occasions all of which has been so nice🥰

The Auntie Nattie Dog Walking chapter will forever remain such an important part of my life.. but Auntie Nattie herself is so ready for something bigger and I would love to bring you along too❤️

It's been nice to touch base but for now I would love to know your thoughts... Is there anything you would like to see? Anything you would like information on? Anything I can help with?

Sending you all so much love, catch up soon❤️

I am here to let you all know that during this time of ill health I have decided it's time for me to take a different direction and have chosen to finish Auntie Nattie's.

I would truly like to thank you all for your custom during the last 4 years; for trusting me with your fur baby's and allowing me be a part of their lives. It goes without saying how much I love them all individually and how much we have all grown together.

If you need any further help or advice please feel free to get in touch and I will do my best to direct.

Thank you so much again and please don't be strangers, pupdates will always be welcome.

All my love and best wishes,
Natt ###
