I have always enjoyed this dog walk as it follows the path through the Allotments at Cuthbury and along beside the River Stour and a wonderful walk that follows the river through open fields (which the dogs love to run in), past Eye Bridge and beyond. Max is in the picture. Max particularly enjoys this walk as he discovers lots of new smells, he can run in the fields and...

I think all dog owners will smile at this! My Ella is never far away when there is food being prepared.

This week I definitely think Archie deserved to be Star Dog! Archie had his first visit to the Dog Groomers! A little sad that all his puppy curls have gone but Archie you’re growing up! It’s a really good idea if your puppy is a breed that will need regular trims to start visiting your chosen Dog Groomers as early as possible. This will help your puppy to...

While out on my dog walk with Max yesterday I met this amazing young black Labrador with his trainer. I asked her about him and she said he was just starting his training and when ready would be an assistance dog for a disable person. Visit the Website using the link and read about the amazing work this organisation does for local disabled people in living Dorset! Not...

Millie’s owner Norman was having a day out to Bath and asked me to look after Millie. I popped in throughout the day. We had 3 short walks and I spent time with Millie in her home. Lunch and Dinner given, water bowl topped up and now here is Millie happy and relaxed! What a...

I live in Wimborne and have known Fran for about 4 years now. We sometimes chat when I see her out walking her dog Ella. Joey is my 2 year old Border Terrier who is my wonderful companion. I was doing well with training Joey but then I started having problems with getting him to come back to me when of the lead and especially when there were other dogs around. I asked...

Awesome dog walk today with Max who loves looking out from the bridge. “Aunty Fran keeps me on the lead over the bridge just in case I decide to join the Moorhens below!” We started out from Redcotts Park, Wimborne and proceeded along the River Stour to Eye Bridge. We always meet other dogs when we are out walking which is great for Max. There is a car park...

Rudy and I had a great dog walk today along the River Stour. It’s an ideal dog walk as the dogs can be let off the lead safely and you can do a circular walk going over the bridge at Canford School. There is plenty of parking by the Market entrance. In the summer Dream Boats have rowing boats to hire. Rudes had a particularly good time sniffing all the smells and...

This week’s dog walk of the week is Longham Resevoir. There are two large lakes to walk round. Dogs have to be on the lead but I don’t think this spoils their enjoyment. I use long leads which give the dogs plenty of scope and they can still have a great sniff around. Also, ideal for lead training in a safe pleasant environment. For the bird lovers amongst...

Today Zebbie was determined to get my attention when I returned from walking his four legged friend. He decided to lie on top of the record book I was writing my report in! So, I just had to stop writing! Don’t you just love them! I do!

I have been watching the progress of this pair of swans and their 2 cygnets since they were tiny. One of my dog walks includes walking along the River Allen which is the current home for these beautiful birds. The cygnets are nearly all white now. Max was a star and kept his distance. The dog training is obviously working as Max sat beautifully and long enough for me to...

Fran has now been walking my dog for over 2 years and I am extremely happy with the arrangement. She obviously loves dogs and relates well to them. She is very aware of the need for training and good manners in a dog and has got Max walking very well on his lead. The behaviour of my somewhat self-willed Fox Terrier has improved a lot since Fran has been walking him. Fran...

Out early today on my dog walk with Archie. What a glorious morning to be out dog walking! Cold and frosty but dry with the sun coming out. Glorious! The ground was crunching under Archie’s paws as he keenly scented!

Fran has been a godsend to me. I work full time and unexpectedly found myself with a 7 month old Chinese Crested puppy when his owner sadly died. With 2 housecats in an already full flat, I needed support to not only exercise Rudy every day, but make sure he and the cats wouldn’t kill each other. I didn’t just need a ‘dog-walker’ (who are ten a penny) I needed...

During our dog walk today – Archie was intrigued with this leaf and spent ages sniffing it! Humans have 5 million scent glands, where as dogs have between 125 million and 300 million, depending on the breed of dog. The mucus on a dogs nose actually helps it smell by capturing scent particles. When a dog’s nose in dry it will lick it to aid their scent....

Feeling very lucky! I was out on my early morning dog walk with Max and we were walking along the path by the River Allen. We had just crossed the little bridge by the Allendale car park and there she was (small pretty head), swimming along the surface with her head just out of the water. She looked at us then dived and re surfaced a few feet ahead. What an amazing...

“We engaged Fran based on recommendation – the best move we ever made. She has walked our lovely puppy since we got him. She is always available, always on time, we love her daily journal and her texts to confirm she has arrived offer great peace of mind to us when we have to leave him feeling guilty as we have to work. She is honest and reliable but perhaps...
