🐾 We are now a team of 3.

I recently shared that Ralph and I were gaining a family member in the form of ‘Nancy’.

Well…….we are a week in, and this is how it is going.

I couldn’t have asked for more from my best boy, who has embraced Nancy like I knew he would. Whilst, I have become very fond of Nancy (very quickly), Ralph will forever be my dog of a lifetime.

To those of you who have already met her, thank you for your excitement, and for those of you yet to meet her, be prepared for bum wiggles, squeaks and lots of licking (from Nancy, not me 😜).

🖤🤎🧡

Happy National Dog Day to the absolute centre of my world, Ralph. 🐾❤️

They say you only get one "dog of a lifetime", and that is Ralph. Watching him approach 9.5 years old is quiet, bittersweet reminder of just how fast time slips away, and if I had only one wish in this life, it would be to gift him eternal life, as it will always be him.

He still has so much left to give and so much wisdom to impart, which is why it feels like the right time for him to step into a new role: mentor to a new family member. From the 20th of September, Ralph is officially becoming the coolest, wisest uncle to ‘Nancy’.

Anyone who knows me knows I’ve never been a fan of small dog, and even less so for the endless yapping that usually comes with them (a generalisation but a fair one!). However. I’ve always held a soft spot for Border Terriers, so here we are!

This next chapter isn’t about replacing a single moment of what Ralph and I share (that bond is entirely unbreakable), it is about letting Ralph pass down everything he’s taught me to the next generation.

So here’s to National Dog Day, to my legendary Ralph, and to the little girl about to learn from the very best.

Training may never be the same again!

🐾 E - Collars

In the last week, I’ve been asked four times (by potential clients), if I use e- collars in my training.

Here is my answer, and my FULL explanation to this question.

⬇️ ⬇️

No.
Never will.
Never have.
Not a chance.
Non negotiable.

🐾 Home Boarding

Ralph is contemplating whether he wants to return to offering ‘home boarding’ for some of his friends (old and new).

This is not something we’ve offered (since we moved), but multiple life changes mean we are (once again) well placed to share our home with your furry family members.

As we consider stepping back into this space, please do let us know your thoughts.

We look forward to hearing from you.

🧡 Ralph - Update

Thank you for the messages regarding Ralph’s heart appointment, it is so humbling to see how many of you have continued to be invested into him over the years.

So……my perfect boy got the all clear for another year. Whilst the Ultra Sound showed some small (minor) changes, the heart has not enlarged (any further), and there is no increase in valve leakage. Therefore, he is classed as ‘stable’.

In addition (as a little double check), I also had blood and urine samples taken from Ralph, and these also came back ‘within normal’ range, so we are good to carry on as we are.

Life is flying by far too quickly with him (he will soon be 9), so for now, we will just keep enjoying every moment and every day.

He is my dog of a lifetime.

🐾 It’s been a while….

I have become utterly useless at keeping this page up to date, as I find myself in the fortunate position of no longer needing to advertise my services.

However, I do try to keep you updated on Ralph (once in a while), and with his third heart scan looming next week, I don’t mind admitting I have that lurking feeling in my tummy.

2 years ago, Ralph was diagnosed with a heart condition and thankfully we have been maintaining/he has maintained his diagnosis since. Now, that might seem an odd thing to say but not only is it positive (as it means it hasn’t deteriorated), it means we are leaving ourselves with scope to explore medication for him (if and when that is an appropriate option).

So, as I turn 41 tomorrow, and Ralph’s 9th birthday is not so far I away, I am trying really hard to enjoy every moment with him and take nothing for granted.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I live and breathe for Ralph and our time is going far too quickly. I wish he was 3 again but I am grateful to have him and will update you on his heart scan next week.

Meanwhile, he couldn’t give two hoots about his pending appointment and is still reminiscing about our glorious forest adventures, having just returned from a 5 day holiday in Thetford Forest.

⭐ 2026 Services

As Ralph and I end another year around the sun (as the cool kids say), the grey hairs keep multiplying (for us both), and my client list seems to never stop (for which I am grateful).

I don’t keep this page up to date anymore, and it’s not because I can’t be bothered it’s because I don’t really have much to say anymore (and we are lucky enough to be busy).

If you know me, you know my style and approach to dog training, and if you know Ralph you will know he is an example of it.

My approach to training is simple:

🐾 Build a friendship with your dog.
🐾 Base that friendship on mutual respect.
🐾 Be consistently consistent for your dog.
🐾 Understand (and learn) that your body language is one of your most important tools when training your dog.
🐾 Remember that you chose them (not the other way round).

If you need help in 2026 here is how Ralph and I can help:

✔️ 121 Dog and Puppy Training
✔️ Family Training Sessions (children welcome)
✔️ Preparing your dog for the arrival of a Baby
✔️ Virtual Tip Sessions
✔️ Group Masterclasses
✔️ Breed Play Dates

🐾 Rare Post

I rarely post on here anymore, I simply don’t have the time.

Fortunately, Ralph and I have built a strong reputation that underpins Walk’Em, so our social media isn’t as active as it used to be but we are ok with that!

That said, sometimes you just need to share something and today is one of those days.

If you know us, you know we are inseprable, and today, I’ve been quietly chuckling to myself as it dawned on me that this is how Ralph starts his days, 3 times a week.

Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays (in Autumn and Winter), our morning routines look a little different and it means that Ralph starts his day like this.

😂😂

I don’t know why it’s tickled me so much but this is how his morning has gone so far………….

✔️ His Dad gave him his bfast at 630am.
✔️ He got back into bed (on my side).
✔️ He gets himself positioned just right.
✔️ I tuck him in and that is where he will now stay until he is ready to get up and start his day for the second time.

Ralph truly has taught me the definition of complete unconditional love, and I can’t imagine my life without him.

We have a relationship that I never imagined was possible between a human and an animal.

🐾 Something to say…

I don’t post much on here these days, I’ve said all I need to say (in recent years) on my approach to training, welfare, and general dog etiquette.

If you like my style you book me, if you dont, you don’t!

However, this weekend (just gone), I thought I’d share that I got married and (of course), Ralph was there.

We are now the Partridge family.
