MONDAY MEET: A VERY SPECIAL ONEā¤ļø

Usually, Mondays are about introducing you to the animals I care for. But today, on what would have been my mum’s 68th birthday, it feels only right to introduce you to her.

Meet my mum, DianešŸ’š

My mum built a successful career in scientific publishing, but I don’t think she ever realised just how far her influence reached.

After we lost her, we received letters and messages from people all over the world telling us how her support, encouragement and opportunities had shaped their lives and careers. Some even credited their success in the industry to my mum. Discovering just how many people she had helped was incredibly special.

I lost my mum suddenly in December 2022, and my life changed completely.

During that time, Lola became my lifeline. On days I didn’t want to leave the house, she got me outside, kept me connected to people and gave me routine, companionship and a reason to keep going.

It showed me first-hand just how important dogs can be for our mental health and became a huge part of what inspired Cogan’s Canine Care.

I wanted to create something positive from everything that had happened, while keeping my mum’s legacy and values going.

Sadly, my mum will never get to see Cogan’s Canine Care. She never saw my first booking, listened to me chat about all the dogs, or watched this little idea grow into something I’m so proud of.

I really wish she had.

But she is part of Cogan’s Canine Care. She always has beenšŸ’š

Losing my mum changed the course of my life and Lola showed me the incredible impact dogs can have on our lives. Together, those experiences shaped what Cogan’s is today.

It has always been about more than walking dogs. It’s about caring for the people at the other end of the lead too.

Happy birthday mum. Not a day goes by where I don’t think of youā¤ļø

THROWBACK THURSDAY– GUINNESS’ BEACH DAY šŸ’ššŸ¾

Seeing as this handsome boy turned 2 on Sunday, what better excuse to throw it back to one of my favourite adventures with Guinn!

One Bank Holiday Monday, Guinness happened to be my only booking of the day. I fancied a trip to the beach and thought… why not take him with me?

Of course, I checked with his owner first and got full permission to turn his usual walk into a seaside adventure. There was just one condition…

I had to get a photo of him enjoying an ice creamšŸ˜‚

Safe to say, I happily obliged!

It ended up being such a fun day out and definitely a little different from our usual walks. Sometimes when the diary allows it, it’s nice to turn a normal booking into a proper adventure.

Happy belated 2nd birthday Guinn 🄳 Here’s to plenty more adventures, although I’m sure you’ll be expecting ice cream on all of them now… šŸ˜‚šŸ’š

MONDAY MEET: NEV 🐾

Meet Neville / Nev

Nev is a young Cockapoo who I’ve had the pleasure of taking on ad-hoc walks since the start of the year while his owner works shifts as a nurse.

Nev takes a little while to warm up to new people, so when we first met, I knew it was important to give him the time and space to get to know me at his own pace.

That made finally winning him over even more rewarding. Going from taking things slowly at the beginning to Nev getting excited when he sees me arriving at the door is such a lovely experience.

He’s such a sweet boy, and I always love seeing his little burst of post-walk zoomies when we get homešŸ˜‚

It’s one of my favourite parts of this job. Not every dog is going to trust you straight away, and sometimes the best relationships are the ones you take the time to buildšŸ’ššŸ¾

Safe to say, now I’ve won him over, I’m Nev-er gonna give him up!šŸ˜‚

Trust is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

When I first meet a dog, I never expect them to instantly feel comfortable with me. Every dog has their own personality, their own experiences, and their own pace.

Some are ready to head off on an adventure from day one, while others need a little more time to learn that I’m someone they can rely on.

That’s why I believe in letting every relationship develop naturally. By being patient, consistent and listening to what each dog is telling me through their body language, that trust begins to grow.

There really is no better feeling than arriving at the door and being greeted by a wagging tail, excited zoomies or a dog happily bringing me their lead. Those little moments mean so much because they aren’t expected… they’re earned.

It’s a reminder that the strongest bonds are built one walk, one cuddle and one adventure at a timešŸ’ššŸ¾

This week’s Monday Meet comes with a little twist… 🐢

Meet Tank!

While most of my Monday Meet posts feature the wonderful dogs I have the pleasure of caring for, I thought it was time to introduce one of my more unusual clients.

Before meeting Tank, I’d never looked after a tortoise before. As with any animal or breed, I would never claim to know everything, so I took the time to learn. Thanks to the brilliant guidance and support from Tank’s owners, I’m now very confident caring for him, from preparing his food to giving him his regular baths and making sure he has everything he needs while his family are away.

One of my favourite parts of this job is that every animal is an opportunity to learn. No two pets are the same, and I think being open to learning is one of the most important parts of providing the best possible care.

Thank you, Tank, for proving that not all of my clients have to have paws… some have shellsšŸ’ššŸ¾

Progress isn’t always a straight line…

It’s easy to focus on the setbacks, whether that’s a walk that didn’t go to plan, a training session that felt like a step backwards, or a day that leaves you questioning how far you’ve come.

But one difficult day doesn’t erase all the progress that came before it.

Sometimes, you need the difficult days to remind you just how far you’ve come.

The same is true for our dogs and for ourselves. Growth takes time, patience and consistency, and it’s rarely a perfect journey. Celebrate the small wins, learn from the setbacks and keep moving forwards.

Every step counts.

What’s one achievement you’re proud of this week? It could be something your dog has accomplished or something you’ve achieved yourself. I’d love to hear itšŸ’ššŸ¾

Monday Meet: Snoopy! šŸ’ššŸ¾

Meet Snoopy, a handsome Sprocker Spaniel who has been part of the Cogan’s Canine Care family since January.

Our very first walk together was actually on his 3rd birthday, so of course I couldn’t let the occasion pass without treating him to a little pup cupcake to celebrate! šŸ§šŸŽ‰

As Snoopy’s humans are both teachers, I usually have the pleasure of seeing him every weekday. Over the months he’s become such a big part of my daily routine, and I genuinely look forward to our adventures together. Whether we’re exploring new scents, enjoying a good sniff around or simply spending time outdoors, he always brightens my day.

At the moment, my knee injury means we’re taking a little break from our daily walks together, and I definitely miss seeing his excited face each morning. I’m looking forward to getting back on my feet and back into our routine, with plenty more adventures still to come.

See you soon, Snoopy! šŸ’š

Wednesday WisdomšŸ’ššŸ¾

It’s easy to think every dog needs the same type of walk, but every dog is an individual with their own personality, preferences and needs.

Some dogs love long adventures and covering lots of ground. Others are happiest taking their time, following every scent and exploring the world at their own pace. For many dogs, those moments spent sniffing are just as valuable as the distance they walk.

As dog owners, it’s easy to compare our dogs to others, but there really isn’t a ā€œperfectā€ walk. The best walk is the one that suits the dog in front of you, whether that’s an energetic adventure, a gentle stroll or simply letting them enjoy the journey at their own pace.

Every dog is different, and that’s something worth celebrating

What does your dog enjoy most on their walks? I’d love to hear in the comments!

Monday Meet: Charlie šŸ’ššŸ¾

It’s finally time to bring back my Monday Meet series, and I couldn’t think of a better dog to restart it with than Charlie!

I first met Charlie shortly after he came home as a tiny working Labrador puppy for his puppy visits. Since then, it’s been a privilege to watch him grow in confidence, personality and size into the gorgeous boy he is today.

One of my favourite things about this job is being part of a dogs’s journey. From those first visits at home to watching them build confidence, learn about their world and make new friends, it’s incredibly rewarding.

Charlie has recently started joining Gino on group walks, and they are the perfect pair. They both love chasing balls, have endless enthusiasm, and have become brilliant friends.

I’ve also had the pleasure of taking Charlie on some extra adventures when his owner needed a helping hand while her children celebrated with a birthday party. It’s always lovely to know owners can enjoy important family moments knowing their dog is happy, exercised and having plenty of fun.

Charlie is cheeky, affectionate and full of character. Although he’s grown a lot since I first met him, he still seems convinced he can squeeze onto my lap just like he did when he was tiny… and honestly, I hope he never grows out of it! šŸ’š

Thank you to Charlie’s family for trusting me to be part of his journey so far. I can’t wait to see him continue to grow and to share many more adventures together as part of the Cogan’s Canine Care family!
