10^th October marks the internationally recognised World Mental Health Day. This initiative was launched by The World Health Organization to raise awareness in support of mental health across the globe.

Our dogs are spending more time indoors, partly due to the hot weather, partly due to the ‘new normal’ we are all living in, which in the most part means we don’t go out as much. Plus, this time at home has influenced many to get a new pup. As a result, we are getting an influx of customers asking for advice on toilet training.
