๐Ÿ”Š Shout out Saturday!

๐Ÿ• Today I want to talk about the lovely Zee and Leads The Way Dog Walking Services

๐Ÿฅฐ Many of you will have met Zee through The Ipswich Dog Trainer but did you know that she also has her own dog walking business? She even wrote an amazing blog for me a few years to help people make an informed choice when looking for someone to walk their dog.

๐Ÿ‘‰ You can read the blog here https://theipswichdogtrainer.com/2020/10/22/what-to-look-for-in-a-good-dog-walker/

๐Ÿ“ Zee runs group walks in central Ipswich and the business is well established. She has an long list of qualifications, insurance and DBS check. This means that the dogs are in safe hands.

๐Ÿ˜” Dog walking is another dog profession that isn't regulated means and this means that qualifications etc aren't legally enforced......but why would you not be looking for this when trusting someone to look after your 4 legged friend?

๐Ÿ“ž If you are in central Ipswich and your dog friendly dog needs a good dog walker give Zee a call. All of her contact details are on her page tagged above.

๐Ÿพ Willow & Skye โ€“ 1-2-1 Puppy Training ๐Ÿพ

What a lovely pair! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’•

Willow and Skye are both such friendly, happy puppies, and theyโ€™ve been doing brilliantly during their 1-2-1 puppy training! ๐ŸŒŸ

๐Ÿพ Willow absolutely loved practising โ€œpaws upโ€! Not only is this a fun exercise, but itโ€™s also a great way to help build focus, confidence and body awareness. ๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿพ Skye perfected her โ€œsitโ€ once the initial puppy excitement had settled downโ€ฆ and, of course, once her nose had located the treat bag! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿฆด

Itโ€™s always amazing to see how quickly puppies can learn when we make training fun, rewarding and engaging. โค๏ธ

Well done Willow & Skye, keep up the great work! ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŽ“โœจ

If you feel you could do with a little help with your puppy, take a look at what we can offer at The Ipswich Dog Trainer.

๐Ÿ”Š Shout out Saturday, on Monday! Slightly late as I've been enjoying the BH with family and friends.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป Today I'm telling you all about a fabulous small business that isn't in the dog profession at all. The multi-award-winning Ducks In A Row - Outsourcing Specialists

๐Ÿ‘ถ After Henry was born I wanted to be able to spend more time with my family. Admin was taking up lots of my time and having a 3 month old and a 2 year old meant things were becoming overwhelming. Sending emails at 4am during nights feeds. Something had to give.

๐Ÿซ Claire was in the same year as me at school and offered to help. It was just her at the beginning but now she has a great team working for her.

๐Ÿ“ž Claire and her team have been my virtual assistants for nearly 5 years. Helping with admin and social media posts. Jo is my main contact and we have a monthly call to discuss what's coming up as well as spreadsheets galore to keep on top of any changes.

๐Ÿ˜Š I can now enjoy spending more time with the boys and I can even switch off (sometimes) when on holiday. If you're business needs any help with admin I can highly recommend Claire and her team.

Do you find cafรฉ training paw-ful?
Does you dog act like it has had 4 espresso's the moment you sit for a cuppa?
Is settling and finding an off button the last thing on your dogs mind when out and about? Or maybe you have a puppy you'd like to teach how to relax in social settings?

Our Social Hour is here to help! Each month weโ€™ll focus on settle training, body language, and trigger stacking, giving you and your dog the tools to enjoy calm, confident cafรฉ trips together.

This is a relaxed, supportive environment where you can enjoy a drink, meet other owners, and learn how to help your dog settle in public spaces.
