💜🙌Supporting Those Who Support You🙌💜

📣A little shout-out today to some of my wonderful self-employed colleagues & friends 📣

😕The past few weeks have been incredibly difficult for me following the fire & the loss of our home & belongings. 😢

🐎My work has been a genuine lifeline giving me purpose, familiarity & something positive to hold on to during a time when so much has changed 🐕

☀️At the same time, the recent extreme heat has made working safely with animals incredibly challenging 😥 Many brilliant therapists, trainers & animal-care professionals have had to cancel, postpone or rearrange appointments & classes, often losing income in the process 🙈

🙃For a self-employed person, cancelling work is never an easy decision (generally, not an option for me ever) There is no paid day off, yet the welfare of the animals must always come first 🙋‍♀️

😎We are all struggling in the heat alongside our animals & we are doing our very best to reach you earlier, later or adapt visits wherever possible to keep everyone safe & comfortable 😉

🙏So today I want to send some love & appreciation to:

Loui 🖤

A relationship built on trust is the most powerful foundation for communication. Loui’s owner and I carefully considered our approach, allowing Loui to feel safe enough to fully relax in his home environment.

Seeing him melt into treatment and lean into areas of tension was such a lovely moment. He absolutely loved cranial massage, especially around those big ears! 🥰

Thank you Loui & his mum for such a relaxing session & for the gorgeous flowers 🌷

Oh Mr T..👹

As soon as the camera came out during Tarkas session so did the teeth! 😂

A fab session with Tarka melting into his massage, using new techniques, followed by some really good feedback post therapy! Thank you Tarka for being a super case study to learn from! 🥰

Calming head massage for little Willow during her garden visit 🌿

Willow is one of my pack walkers but we’ve scaled back our walks this week because of this heatwave. From tornado pupster to garden zen, when the weather is this hot I like to keep garden visits calm & restorative, the dogs tell me what they need and Willow certainly enjoyed a snoozy mini massage 💆🏼‍♀️

Early morning walks in summer ☀️

Before it gets too hot, everything feels a little calmer. Slower walks, woodland air, birds in the background and dogs just being dogs 🤍

Another assessment day session, sweet girly Kea 💛

Such a good opportunity to work on gradually building pressure with a more sensitive dog. Giving her breaks when needed, then slowly introducing more digit work and touch in areas she’d previously chosen to move away from.

A great learning experience!

Part 1 of 2 at the amazing assessment day at Little Green Stables working with some super dogs! 🐶

Really enjoyed putting both learnt and new techniques into practice, while getting a feel for different pressure levels to suit each dog individually.

Fab day, fab dogs! 🙌🏼

The perfect opportunity to help the dogs calmly desensitise to the neighbours being back in the field 🐄

Using enrichment, impulse control and calm exposure work, we’re supporting the dogs nervous systems by slowing arousal levels, keeping the brain engaged and creating a more thoughtful response to their environment rather than reacting to it.

Sessions like this are about far more than simply co-existing with the cows.. they’re also about building confidence, emotional regulation and social skills around one another in a calm, structured way. Some of these dogs previously struggled to be around other dogs at all, especially with high value distractions like food and livestock present.

This is the result of slow progression, relationship based training and allowing each dog the space to build confidence at their own pace. Proud of my crew 🫶🏻
