5 months old: trains, training and treats

Hazard has had a really busy week as always! She traveled on public transport, she recalled from ducks while off leash and visited lots of new locations. We are still doing training in short bursts and focusing on recall; which is great at the moment but we want to keep it that way! Practice makes...

17 weeks old: Hazard the daddy long legs hunter

Another week gone in a flash I know I say this every week but I can’t believe how big she is getting, her legs have gotten so long. Her face looks more collie to me, but her body most definitely looks like a lab. Haz is doing well. She has learnt that she doesn’t need...

16 weeks old, bold and doing what she’s told (mostly)

4 months?! Where has the time gone? She seems to be getting bigger by the day. Her attitude definitely gets bigger! She doesn’t hesitate to tell you what she wants, she loves exploring and is so confident it’s scary. We are really lucky that she is keen to learn and do what she is told....

Bucket list update: 360. Try digital illustration.

Okay so I’m not the next Walt Disney. But I’ve found my love of drawing again! I need more practice and a lot of improvement. Mostly I only draw dogs but you know; draw what you love! I love drawing, focusing on something; I’ve found a new love even if I’m not very good at...

Surviving Quarantine

Well we certainly are living in “strange times”, if I’ve ended a conversation once with “stay safe” I’ve done it a hundred times. suddenly our worlds have become much, much smaller. Mine consists of my house, garden, dog, husband and a woodland circuit. As a natural introvert who probably spends more time in my own...

Dog training? It’s all fun and games.

We have recently completed a few new training courses with Watercombe dogs and have just started a regular training class with them. It’s turned my training priorities completely upside down! Duke has absolutely loved it! And I have too. The training is all game based. You use games and fun to teach you dog to...

Big-dog-little-handler: Lulu comes for a holiday!

Not too long ago Duke had his first ever friend to sleep over. And now that friend is staying with us for 2 weeks! Meet the adorable, crazy, crocodile like Lulu. She is an 8 month old golden retriever cross poodle and is Duke's "aunty". She is a whirlwind on four paws. We are a...

Dorset Dog Walks Pt3.

We are always looking for a really good dog walk. Our favourite dog walks are those that end up in a pub or tea rooms ( because why the hell not!). We are always looking for off leash and on leash walks to shake up our walking routine but also to explore more of our...

Bucket List Update: 268. Make home made dog treats.

I love the idea of baking your own dog biscuits! I think it's such a sweet, fun idea. Imagine my excitement when I found a baking set to makes cakes or cookies for your four legged pal! This little company I found by complete fluke on Instagram and I don't think my gift giving will...
