mental stimulation in Agility – more than just running fast!

Born to Ride

Politeness can be adroable!

Happy 17th Birthday, Mozzie

Happy 17th Birthday, Mozzie.

From cheeky puppy to wise old soul, we’re grateful for every moment with this boy.

Even though he’s deaf now, he still has the magical ability to sense when the fridge is opened from the other end of the house — some skills never fade!

He still loves his walks (they just take a little longer these days) and has never once passed up the chance of a meal.

Forever Iain’s little shadow.

Here’s to many more fabulous memories together.

Dogs don’t just sleep, they dream too!

The Beautiful Game

Whilst working in the garden today, I stumbled across an old football hidden under a bush. It brought back so many memories—every one of our dogs loved a football, each in their own way.
Manouk, Mehwi, and Mozzie would always try to grab the ball and run with it.
Mollo had a different strategy—he’d give the ball a bear hug to stop it from rolling.
The true star of the family was Midge, our football prodigy. She had a real talent for the “beautiful game,” effortlessly dribbling the ball past people and obstacles.
Once, she even joined an amateur game at Hazlehead park! For a good five minutes, normal play paused as Midge ran circles around the players—pure chaos, pure joy.

What type of Nap does your dog prefer?

Manouk loved soaking up the rays, while Mozzie turns the couch into a yoga mat.

Either way, they’ve both got the perfect power nap mastered.

Which team is your dog on—sun lounger or sofa surfer?

Which are your dog’s favourite toys?

When people ask what to bring along to training sessions —whether it’s to our Agility, Hoopers, 1-2-1 Life Skills, Puppy, or Junior classes—we always say: Bring some of your dog’s favourite toys
Of course, as dog owners, we all have that overflowing toy box, but we want to know: What’s the toy that your dog really loves
  • The squeaky one?
  • The half-destroyed teddy?
  • The chewed-up ball?
  • A stolen sock?

Hay Bales – A Rite of Passage!

I think at some point in their lives, most dogs that live in a rural area go through the Rite of Passage that involves posing on top of a hay bale for a photograph.

 

 

 

 

Does your dog love being brushed?

When you realise half your body weight was actually just fluff! 🐾
After a busy day of physio sessions, my clothes are usually covered in fur — an occupational hazard!  But while looking through some old photos the other day, I stumbled across these shots of Manouk and couldn’t help but smile!

Does anyone else have a dog who acts personally offended by grooming? Just the sound of the brush drawer opening used to send Manouk running for the hills!
