🐾 Eight minutes. That’s all this took. 🐾

These two videos were taken just eight minutes apart during Bunny’s very first training session with me.

Bunny’s owners got in touch as they were struggling with loose lead walking and keeping her engagement whilst out on walks. Rather than jumping straight into training, today’s session was about assessing her baseline and understanding exactly where she is in her learning journey.

To help Bunny succeed, we worked in a quiet residential area with very few distractions. This allowed me to focus on building engagement before expecting too much from her.

In the first video, Bunny is pulling on the lead, weaving from side to side and finding everything around her far more rewarding than walking with me.

By the second video, we’ve introduced a training lead to provide a little extra guidance and started pairing the verbal cue “heel” with the behaviour we wanted. Almost immediately, Bunny began offering much more engagement, choosing to stay with me and walking calmly by my left-hand side.

This wasn’t about achieving perfection in one session—it was about giving Bunny the skills to make the right choices. That’s exactly what she started to do.

The session lasted just 30 minutes, as Bunny became quite overstimulated. Knowing when to stop is an important part of training; short, successful sessions often achieve far more than pushing a dog beyond what they can cope with.

We have a long journey ahead, but I’m incredibly happy with the progress Bunny made in such a short space of time. I can’t wait to continue building on these foundations with her.

Well done, Bunny! 🐾💛

🐾 Seven dogs, one dog walker… and somehow we all make it back in one piece! 😉🐾

Hi, I’m Sophie – the face behind Muddy Paws! 👋💚

A typical 27-year-old whose life revolves around dogs… and I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way.

If you’ve been following my journey for a while, you’ll probably know me as the one who’s always smiling, usually covered in muddy paw prints… and occasionally sporting a dodgy ankle or a sore shoulder! 🤦‍♀️😂 Safe to say I’m a little accident-prone, but thankfully the dogs are far more coordinated than I am!

☕ Powered by coffee, dog treats, wagging tails… and just a little bit of chaos! 🐶💚

My passion has always been helping dogs become happy, confident, and well-mannered companions. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a nervous dog gain confidence, seeing a puppy learn new skills, or receiving photos and messages from happy owners after we’ve worked together.

I’m fully qualified in:
🐶 Dog Training
🐾 Dog Behaviour
✂️ Dog Nail Clipping
⛑️ Canine First Aid

Every dog that joins Muddy Paws is treated like one of my own. Whether we’re out on an adventure, learning new skills during training, or enjoying some well-deserved fuss and cuddles, their happiness, safety, and wellbeing always come first.

Building Muddy Paws has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Watching my little business grow into what it is today means absolutely everything to me, and it’s all thanks to the incredible support from my wonderful clients and their amazing dogs. Every walk, every training session, every muddy paw print and wagging tail reminds me why I love doing what I do.

So, if you ever see us out and about with a happy pack of dogs, don’t be afraid to give us a wave! 👋💚

Thank you for trusting me with your four-legged family members I genuinely feel so lucky to do a job I love every single day.

Love,
Sophie 💚

🐾 I Wasn’t the Only One Walking Your Dogs Today..😉 🐾

Today I had a very special little helper joining me… meet Heidi! 🩶

Heidi absolutely loves dogs and was so excited to come along and see what a day at Muddy Paws is all about. From helping collect the dogs to joining us on our walks, she had the biggest smile on her face all day. 🐶🐾

It was so lovely to see her confidence grow as she spent time with the dogs, and they all seemed to enjoy the extra fuss and attention too! She already knows a little bit about dogs, and it was wonderful watching her learn even more while having so much fun.

A huge thank you to my little helper for all your hard work today. You were an absolute superstar, and I think it’s safe to say you had the best day! 💚

I’d also like to say a huge thank you to all of my wonderful clients who kindly gave permission for Heidi to come along today. Your trust and support mean so much, and I really appreciate you allowing her to experience a day in the life of Muddy Paws. She had an unforgettable day, and it wouldn’t have been possible without your kindness. 💜

I’m sure all of our four-legged friends can’t wait to see you again soon, Heidi! ✨
