Big Bad Buster



There he is, in all his chocolate glory! This young lad really puts a smile on my face, he just makes me laugh.

Buster came to me because of his naughtiness on the lead and his utter deafness to his mum and dad.

He went to puppy classes, which are great  until they grow a little bit bigger- like this wee man.

If you have more than one person walking the dog you should keep the commands the same.


Buster had lots of words that he knew but they were used all at the same time which confuses the dog.

I had Buster for 4 weeks and the difference on the lead is much better. He has ONE word for walking on the lead and when he is off the lead. By doing this Buster understands and enjoys his walks much more.


When working with the family I took some of them out and gave them the commands and worked with them so they got the same reaction from Buster.

It is not just working with the dog, it also working with the family or owner so that the dog succeeds.

I can't wait to see Buster working for his family and having fun!

Zero back in the house

We has Zero back with us in September. A home from home.  Lots of play and running with the girls.

Under control

Stockbridge Edinburgh shared Scottish SPCA's status update.
Can any owners walking their dogs near Inverleith pond in Edinburgh please ensure their dogs are under strict control. There has been a drainage issue which has meant swans normally on the water are now standing in mud. Unfortunately, two swans have already been attacked by dogs, with their injuries currently being assessed. Thank you

Do I need to buy a new sofa?


Since taking on dogs and bringing them into my house I have wrapped cover in old duvets and cushions in pillow cases, but I have become more and more aware of I do not have a seat in my own house!

It does not take long for a dog to figure out where it feels most secure and that is on my sofa!

Fun in the sun!

What a day to be out in! The sun was shining people were smiling and the dogs were having a great time!

It was great to have Sashka out playing in the park today, Abbey, Jess and Possum were also out in the park , so it was a great time of playing . I brought toys, but Sashka and Abbey were having too much fun to play with toys


you move no you move!

So cute little and large running together.
