Once again I am behind with my blog and updating students on the May Feline and Canine practicals, one of the reasons is that we have been looking for a new HQ for the expanding school and the shop and finally it looks like we have found somewhere that is perfect for us, which I am so excited about. I'll keep you updated with details once more has been confirmed.
Back to the May classes
The feline days were very rewarding, we left the cats & kittens that we worked with at the cattery in a relaxed and contented state, helping them cope with their various situations. Many loved rolling in the catnip, which together with the oils encouraged the fearful and timed, that spent their time hiding, to come out to play. According to Alex, Thomas the cat is still his enigmatic self
Mutly, who we worked with in class, needed a little help socializing with other dogs

Feedback “After being worked with in class yesterday, I took him for a walk and we met two whippets who he has screamed at in the past and been very rough with, but not this time. When I thought the coast was clear I let him off (having been excited but quiet while they passed) he charged across the field to find them - my heart was somewhere near my mouth! Next thing I saw was two whippets running with a sofa-hound and having a ball. I called him and he came back with the biggest grin on his face - it was nearly as large as mine!
Today we met one of his favorite dogs to bark at. I popped him on the lead and whipped the lid off the Violet Leaf, placing it in front of him. He inhaled deeply, licked his nose, backed up (into the path of the dog) and then watched him pass by calmly. Wow! I'm unsure who was the most surprised - the dogs, the other owner or me! It was pure magic and I'm so grateful to you and your work.
On the back of this we are now working on him getting on with our cats and retrieving them from exile upstairs. I have three rags with oils on hanging on the barricade which enables them to get upstairs safely, even though it's running the gauntlet a little. He has been calmer
there but still wants to get to chase the running furry things. I spent a while out with the youngest of the cats, Moley (a healing cat) and let him inhale the Violet Leaf, keeping my hand over the top to
stop him touching it. He ended up lying across the front door step with Mutley on the other side snorting in cat fumes - he was purring and making cookies on my arm. He then went and lay in the lane outside the house where, unusually, he didn't budge when a van came along. He got up in a very leisurely way, stretched then ambled off into the wood".
Tooka needed help with skin problems: “we are all living in a haze of green clay - both dogs are still picking up ticks but much less so and we are finding desiccated ones on them-- much calmer and no hot spots”.
