Sniff Sniff 🐾🌺

For some it can be worrying & an overwhelming experience. A few examples of what this could look like - zig zagging on lead, not wanting to move , hiding in a corner, panting, dribbling , startled by noises and whining.

It’s our duty to help support those every paw at a time to gain some familiarity in their surroundings.

Looking at triggers and knowing the dog’s threshold as an individual really helps us as humans to know what we can implement to help them through their journey.

Sometimes our canine friends can be too overwhelmed they can’t sniff, they can’t loose lead walk or respond to basic training. With patience , understanding and exploration of training methods and ideas we can slowly but surely see results!

This chap here is a great example and I was able to capture an amazing shot of him sniffing and really embracing a sniff of some plants!

It may be little or soemthing “normal” but for him it was a huge achievement !

Training is a journey and with attention to detail we can really help these pooches to prepare them for the next steps.

Keep going , keep trying.. every little biscuit and “good boy” helps those who need it most 💛

Dog training isn’t a quick fix—it’s a journey.

One of the biggest misconceptions is expecting everything to change overnight. The truth? Real progress takes time, consistency, and patience.

Sometimes you have to strip everything back and start from scratch. That can feel frustrating, especially when you thought you were further along. But rebuilding solid foundations is often exactly what’s needed for lasting success.

Every dog learns at their own pace. Some concepts click quickly, while others take weeks or even months of repetition. That’s normal.

Be realistic with your expectations. Celebrate the small wins. Progress isn’t always linear, and setbacks don’t mean you’ve failed—they’re simply part of the learning process.

The time and effort you put in today will pay off with a dog who understands, trusts, and chooses to work with you.

Stay patient. Stay consistent. Keep showing up.

Because the best-trained dogs aren’t created overnight—they’re built one session at a time. 🐾

🩷 Exciting news! 🩷

Zoomies is back hosting another one off workshop on 24th October 2026.

There are 4 spaces available so get in touch if you are interested in finding out more information & securing your place.

The workshop will focus on learning how to “ Enrich your dog”

Enrichment is one of my most favourite things to encourage people to practice and learn about. Whether it be a snuffle Matt, stuffed destruction boxes or a simple “find it game”.. there is always something for everyone!

The most rewarding thing to see is the dog engaging and using the enrichment you create! We will observe your dog around a variety of enrichment , learn how to make your own at home and most importantly ,where your enrichment can be utilised the most at home and gaining a little more insight into your dog’s behaviour.

These tools will help with your dog in learning how to settle and be calm in the home, especially as time leads up to Halloween, Christmas and New years !

If you are interested please do get in touch! 🩷

On this day 10 years ago I stepped foot in Battersea.

From 2016-2021 , I then left my kennel keys behind.. but skip three years and I came back in 2024.

There has been SO many memories with humans and dogs that il always treasure.

Battersea always holds a place in my heart & one thing I always remind myself “ think of the difference you make to those dogs” 💙

You can’t change a dog’s past, but you can rewrite the future ✨🐾
