Coronavirus: Tessleymoor Update – March 17 2020

In the light of the unprecedented events happening worldwide with the Coronavirus, we are all having to review our daily activities. As a business, we take the welfare of both dogs and owners extremely seriously. The following update will hopefully reassure and inform you about Tessleymoor activities over the coming weeks.

Training As Usual

If you are booked in for a one-to-one lesson with me, all training is continuing as normal. I am also continuing to take bookings for future dates. I am fortunate to work outside in optimal conditions for health and wellbeing. A distance can easily maintained from clients while training. Please do not attend your lesson if you feel unwell and cancel as soon as you are able to.

Residential Training

I am continuing to take dogs for residential training. Again, drop off and pick up can be done without close contact. I always keep my kennels spotless – while your dog may not be affected by this virus, this protects their general health. I am also ensuring that I have plentiful supplies of dog food, should delivery be disrupted.

Telephone Consultations

I already have a successful telephone consultation service, giving training and behavioural advice to clients all over the country. If you would prefer to receive advice by phone, give me a ring and we can chat through how this would work.

Keep Walking Your Dog

If you are working from home, this is a great opportunity to spend that time when you would be commuting out with your dog. Dogs should not be isolated or confined. If you think you may have to self-isolate, put a contingency plan in place to make sure your dog is exercised twice a day.

These are strange times and Government advice about the Coronavirus is changing daily. I will keep my website and social media updated should I need to make any changes to my services. However, for our own wellbeing, it’s important to keep some structure in our lives. As dog owners we have the perfect opportunity – and the opportunity to perhaps help out elderly neighbours with their dog walking too. Let’s do all we can to stay well and look after those we love, including our dogs of course.
