Being a collie owner, this was just too relatable not to share! 😂🤣

The gorgeous Reggie enjoying his first Trail Dog Trip this evening 💙
What Reggie lacks in size, he certainly makes up for in ‘Attatooood’ 🐶👊🏻

From the get go this little Dude knew exactly what he wanted from his trip - to focus and get his weekly steps in!!! 😅
My word, he was focused beyond belief! On a bloomin’ mission!!! 😲
I honestly believe we would still be out there now if he’d had his own way!!! 😆🤣

I’m absolutely loving the variety of dogs I’ve had booked in for trips so far 😍
Being a Veterinary nurse means I know a great deal about many breeds but this business is fast becoming a fantastic learning curve for me in which I’m gaining a greater understanding on each breed’s lovely little personalities and the exercise requirements they need ☺️

Thank you to all that have booked in so far and those that have supported me by sharing posts and following 🥹🙏🏻❤️###

I was so chuffed that Izzy and Fern’s Mam booked them in for another Trail Trip 🥹💓

These girls just love their adventures and after seeing how much they enjoyed running at Hamsterley last time, I decided to add more running into their Weardale trip today 😊

This route was the one I was doing with my own dogs when I decided to start my business 🤩 The route is packed with an assortment of stimulating environments - meadows, rivers, woodland and moorland .. perfect for adventurous breeds like these gorgeous girls 💪🏻🐶

We ran, hiked, splashed, practiced recall and did some training in climbing stiles, managing kissing gates and walking sensibly downhill to save breaking Elaine’s ankles! 😅🤓✌🏻

Taking two very tired and content doggies home to their Mam was a lovely end to a very fun and enjoyable day ☺️🙏🏻

Whether to use flea and tick prevention is purely an owner’s personal choice but I massively advise that all doggies undertaking a Trail Dog adventure with me have been treated with a veterinary strength treatment 💊🙏🏻
The countryside locations I frequent on my trips are prevalent with these blood sucking mini beasts from hell and with all the little noses sniffing into the exciting smelly undergrowth it’s the perfect opportunity for the horrible nasties to hop on and take a snack! Bleughhhh!! 🕷️🤢
I cannot recommend a treatment to you because of all the advertising rules blah blah, but if you’ve purchased a treatment from your vet I can guarantee you’ll have something effective 🙅🏼‍♀️🦟🕷️🪰

The weather is warming up which means flea and tick season is upon us!
We now offer a whole year of protection with one injection against fleas and ticks!
Please call us on 01325 465371 for more information or to book an appointment.
Put your mind at rest and keep your pet protected!

Meet my pets 😊

💜Willow💜

Willow is a 20 month old working cocker spaniel and has been with me since she was 8 weeks old.
If Willow was a person she most definitely would be a tomboy with ADHD! 😆 She is a fluffy whirlwind of crazy energy and cannot sit still for one minute!! 🐶💥
She has turned into the most beautiful and loving little creature who shows her love to me by following me around the house and lying on my feet .. I often catch her watching me with the most gorgeous inquisitive gaze 🥹💓

Willow lives for exercise and her most favourite place to go is Wolsingham in Weardale where I have a route which allows her over 2hours of off lead fun. Here she can fulfill all her spaniel needs of exploring the countryside with its exciting smells - the enthusiasm she shows on her walks is so lovely to see ☺️🙏🏻

Like her spaniel big brother Kes, Willow loves all food but nothing more than a dead and rotten animal that she might be lucky enough to find on a country adventure 🤢🤮 .. She also enjoys the comical chase as it’s attempted to be retrieved!! 😅🤣

Willow has a beautiful nature and loves all people but she has developed a frustrating habit of barking at unfamiliar people and dogs when out on walks … her training is ongoing 🤞🏻

Willow is in love with Ace but despite her continuous attempts of flirting the love seems to be unrequited 😂🤣

Willow has fallen into place in the Alsop household perfectly and without doubt totally rules the roost! 😅
She has already walked/hiked hundreds of miles in Scotland, Yorkshire, The Lake District and local home trails and now that she’s a big girl, has started to enjoy some canicross style running which she’s a natural at 😎

Isn’t she a gorgeous girlie 💖
