In the really hot weather I have a bottle this fanastic stuff in my van! It tempts even the fussiest of drinkers that would avoid normal water! It is 100% natural too, in this weather every little bit helps.
I use this when competing ralph as it makes sure he is probably hydrated thoroughly out a long day! I also use powered bone broth aswell.

This week walks will obviously be a mixture of short and shadey and water walks. It goes without saying that whilst we are having this heatwave I will be taking extra precautions for your dogs safety and well being. Water will be offered during and after walks, wet towels/cool mats will be in each cage whilst travelling. Fans and AC will be running as well. Each dog will be strictly monitored on each walk and if anyone is showing signs of stress/discomfort the walk will be stopped. It goes without saying that your dogs welfare is of upmost importance to me and there health comes first!
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

🚨Kids Are Not Dog Walkers🚨

Every summer I see teenagers and younger kids advertising dog walking services, and honestly… this is something more dog owners need to think carefully about before handing over a leash.

This is not meant to shame kids looking to earn money over summer break. A lot of them are responsible, caring, and genuinely love dogs.

But here’s the reality most people don’t think about:

Walking dogs safely is not just “holding a leash.”

Professional dog walkers are often managing:
• leash reactivity
• fear responses
• prey drive
• redirected arousal
• dog-dog conflicts
• environmental triggers
• heat stress
• equipment failures
• emergency situations
• reading body language before something escalates

And even friendly dogs can become dangerous in the wrong moment.

A squirrel darts across the road.
An off-leash dog rushes over.
A skateboard startles them.
A collar snaps.
A 70lb dog panics.

Now suddenly a child is physically and emotionally responsible for controlling an animal that may outweigh them.

Here’s the thing people forget:
Dogs do not care how sweet, kind, or well-meaning someone is when instinct kicks in.

This also matters for the dog’s wellbeing.

Many dogs are already stressed, under-exercised, overstimulated, or struggling with emotional regulation. Walks are not just physical exercise, they’re environmental exposure sessions. A handler who cannot recognize stress signals or intervene early can accidentally make behaviour problems worse over time.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with kids helping with calm, known dogs under supervision, learning about handling skills, or assisting experienced adults.

But hiring a child as the sole handler for unfamiliar dogs, especially large, reactive, anxious, or high-drive dogs, is a very different thing.

Dogs deserve handlers who can advocate for them, read them, and safely manage the situations the real world throws at them.
