Buxton Derbyshire

~ aussiedogcare

At Aussie Dog Care we know that Buxton is a great place to visit before and after a dog walk , even during a dog walk , I truly love Buxton with all the beautiful views of the High Peak and the Peak District only a few mintues drive away. Buxton has many beautiful shops , resturants and even a pet shop!

Buxton Festival is also great festival to go to ! It is on next year the 11- 27th July 2014.

A bit about Buxton :

“Buxton is a spa town in Derbyshire, England. It has the highest elevation of any market town in England.[1][2] Located close to the county boundary with Cheshire to the west and Staffordshire to the south, Buxton is described as “the gateway to the Peak District National Park“.[1] A municipal borough until 1974, Buxton was then merged with other localities including Glossop, lying primarily to the north, to form the local government district and borough of High Peak within the county of Derbyshire. Buxton is within the sphere of influence of Greater Manchester due to its close proximity to the area.

Buxton is home to Poole’s Cavern, an extensive limestone cavern open to the public, and St Ann’s Well, fed by the geothermal spring bottled and sold internationally by Buxton Mineral Water Company. Also in the town is the Buxton Opera House, which hosts several music and theatre festivals each year. The Devonshire Campus of theUniversity of Derby is housed in one of the town’s historic buildings.”  Quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buxton

Things to do :

“Whatever the weather, the town offers something for everyone. From the Pavilion Gardensand Opera House, the Dome and Poole’s Cavern and the country park, to the shops in four distinct shopping areas, you will find somewhere to eat, drink, swim, ride a ‘Victorian tram’or a miniature train, watch plays, listen to music, and even Go Ape!
Not only that, but situated in the centre of the Peak District, you are never far from a stunning attraction or wonderful walking. Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Castleton Caverns, Lyme Park, Crich Tramway Museum, Carsington Water, the Roaches, the Monsal Trail or even Alton Towers are a short distance from Buxton. And more and more people are discovering that the bus can take them to where they want to go!” Quoted from http://www.visitbuxton.co.uk/

September

~ aussiedogcare

September ! A new month soon to be filled with more dogs and various pets ! Exciting !

As it is a new month here are some various facts on September –

September is the 9th month of the year and marks the beginning of autumn in the Northern hemisphere and the start of spring in the Southern hemisphere.

“The name September comes from the Latin septem for seven, since this was the seventh month of the Roman calendar. The month was named during a time when the calendar year began with March, which is why its name no longer corresponds with its placement in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. September starts on the same day of the week as December each year, but does not end on the same day of the week as any other month in the year.

September has three birth flowers: the forget-me-not, the morning glory and the aster. Forget-me-nots represent love and memories, asters represent love as well, and the morning glory represents unrequited love. These are all very passionate flowers.

The birth stone for the month is the sapphire. The sapphire represents clarity of thought, intuition, and peacefulness. In traditional medicine it is used to treat fevers and reduce inflammation. Sapphire reduces anxiety and procrastination and gives the wearer luck.” Quoted from http://webclipart.about.com/od/seasonsclipart/ss/Interesting-Facts-About-September.htm

At Aussie Dog Care we are very excited September and our first September dog is Pippa !

Professional Dog Walker Stockport

~ aussiedogcare

I  offer Dog Walking for owners who may be out at work all day , busy , someone elderly that would like companionship from an animal  but needs help with walking the dog or if you just feel like going out all day for relaxation without the dog !

At Aussie Dog Care I promote myself in being a friendly , reliable and professional dog walker. I will always try to walk your dog in an area that they  know and is suitable for the dog and which you recommend.

We aim to give the right amount exercise desired by the breed making sure your dog is happy and tired when you come back home . At Aussie Dog Care we also tailor all walks to what you as an owner desire for you dogs.

On an ordinary Aussie Dog Care walk we will collect your dog from your home at a time you have given and walk for the specific time you have asked for perhaps longer. If your dog is wet or muddy I will dry all dogs as no muddy paw prints are left on the floor! If you are away at work we can when asked water any plants , bring in post etc.

Aussie Dog Care as a business promotes itself in being a small family run business that walks local around Romiley. Dogs are never walked in a pack as I totally disagree with this method of walking. Aussie Dog Care loves itself reasonably small and local .

A bit about me –

I have lived in Romiley for 15 years so I know the area and surrounding local areas extremely well . I have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels of my own and I am a Kennel Club Registered Breeder. I am a strong animal lover and strive to give the best care to any type of animal . I also have 3 children all of whom help out with the love and cuddles regularly ( all older) .  Who love the visitors who come to stay.

 If you are worried about your dogs when I am walking them do not fret as I regularly update on facebook and twitter. I run the business myself and just me will be caring for your animal when needed as I do not employ any third parties.  Aussie Dog Care is for all your animal needs covering Cheshire , Tameside , Areas of the Peak District and Stockport.

Tips on perfecting the dog walk!

~ aussiedogcare

Here at Aussie Dog Care we care about your dog as much as you , the owner , does so if you are having trouble walking your dog here are some of Cesar Millian’s Top Tips on dog walking:

“1. Be aware of your energy and body language while walking  dog.

Make sure you are communicating a message that says, ‘I am the pack leader!’ Keep your head up and your shoulders back. Think positive thoughts and  envision the dog walk going well. You might be surprised at the results.

2. Keep the dog leash short, but not tight.

You’ve heard me tell this to people on the show time and time again. This  simple tip can save you a lot of headache. Flexi-leashes and other longer  leashes make it harder for you to communicate with your dog and easier for her  to go wherever she wants. But, don’t forget, it’s also important to keep the dog  leash loose. If you make a correction following a problem behavior, it should be  quick, and then the dog leash should be returned to the relaxed state.

3. Position the dog collar at the top of the neck.

If you’ve ever seen a sledding dog, you’ll notice that the harness is around  the lower part of the dog’s neck, near the shoulders. Why? This is where the  dog’s pulling power is located. You’re actually helping your dog to pull you  around if you have the collar placed there. Instead, position it on the upper  neck, which is the most sensitive area. If you’re having trouble keeping the  collar in the correct spot, check out my Illusion collar, which is designed to keep the collar  from slipping.

4. Film the dog walk.

Ask a friend or family member to film you walking the dog. It may be easier  to see your problem areas after the fact. What’s your posture like? How do you  react when your dog misbehaves? Are you putting tension on the dog leash? These  are the types of things to look for while you watch. If you don’t have access to  a camera, ask someone to walk with you and then share what they noticed.

5. Enlist the help of balanced dogs.

If your dog barks or lunges at other dogs that you pass on the walk, take  time to do just that activity with another dog you trust. That way, you can  practice remaining calm and correcting your dog. Then, when the dog problem  arises when you’re not expecting it, you’ll feel better able to handle it, and  that confidence will be communicated to your dog.

6. Practice the walk!

You and your dog won’t get better if you don’t go out there and do it!  Celebrate every success along the way. Learn from the bad days, but don’t dwell  on them. And then one day, you’ll find you’ve done it! You’ve mastered the  walk!”

The Countryside Code

~ aussiedogcare

On our walks at Aussie Dog Care with home boarding and dog walking clients we sometimes like to go off the beaten track in and around our local area of Romiley, Stockport. When you are in the countryside you have to abide by a certain code this being – The Countryside Code.  It is set for all members of the public to respect and enjoy the countryside.

Code Logo from http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/
Code Logo from http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/

This is the Countryside Code:

  • Be safe, plan ahead and follow any signs
    1. Take maps/guidebooks
    2. Be prepared for changes in weather
    3. Check the weather so you know what to expect
    4. Let someone know where you are going, how long you plan to be
    5. Learn signs and symbols used in the countryside
  • Leave gates and property as you find them
    1. Farmers may leave gates open to allow their animals to move – so leave an open gate open, and a closed gate closed
    2. Contact the local authority if you see a sign which may be misleading or illegal (e.g. Private, no entry – on a public footpath)
    3. Follow paths where crops are growing
    4. Use gates or stiles if possible, rather than climbing walls or fences, to avoid damage
    5. Don’t disturb ruins or historic sites
    6. Don’t interfere with machinery or livestock
  • Protect plants and animals and take your litter home
    1. Litter and leftover food spoils the beauty of the countryside
    2. Don’t damage, destroy or remove features such as rocks, plants and trees
    3. Give wild animals and farm animals plenty of space as they can behave unpredictably
    4. Be careful not to drop matches or smouldering cigarettes.
  • Keep dogs under close control
    1. By law, you must control your dog so that it does not disturb or scare farm animals or wildlife
    2. Farmers are, by law, entitled to destroy a dog that injures or worries their animals
    3. Always clean up after your dog and get rid of the mess responsibly
  • Consider other people
    1. Respect the needs of local people
    2. When riding a bike or driving a vehicle, slow down for horses, walkers and livestock and give them plenty of room
    3. By law, cyclists must give way to walkers and horse-riders on bridleways
    4. Support the rural economy – for example, buy your supplies from local shops

Taken from http://www.thethreepeakschallenge.co.uk/ . Even though this is taken from Three Peaks Challenge this code applies for any walk in the countryside.
