All of my clients have been fantastic and hearing things like “Of course we’ll support you, we couldn’t have our dog without you.” is incredibly touching, and goodness knows I love them all so very much. But, I was walking with a client on my first Unleashed session, and I’ve had the feedback before, but, I sometimes forget how helpful a Dog Walker can be.  The emphasis here is can be. Can. They can also be utterly useless. So, I wanted to remind myself (and you guys ..read more

You’ve just got a puppy, you should be over the moon, but you’re feeling down… I know what you’re going through, I was there! Honestly. Everyone was full of compliments for my puppy, and thought he was marvellous (and he was!) but I just didn’t feel it.  I went through Indie’s early puppyhood totally on my own, which meant all the toilet breaks that I had to give him through the night had to be me. It wasn’t that I didn’t feel a bond with Indie, that was there from the get go, it was just so much. It felt overwhelming. Lack of sleep was getting to me, and I couldn’t understand why he was ..read more

Ok, so, I don’t typically support aversives – and you those of you who follow a positive training methodology (like me!) might look at this and wonder why on earth I’m testing it – it goes against my ethos, right? Well, no. Not when properly fitted (which is how these have been designed, by the way!).

Due to a change in our living arrangements (I’ll discuss that another time!) we needed a collar for him for whe ..read more
