Latest Blogs
This is where real dog life meets practical advice. From behaviour quirks and training tips to everyday challenges (and the occasional muddy mishap), the Roaming Rovers Blog is written for dog owners who want clear, honest guidance without the judgement or jargon.
Whether you’re raising a puppy, navigating teenage chaos, or simply wondering why your dog does that, you’ll find insight, reassurance, and a few smiles along the way.
Puppy Life & Early Foundations
Bringing a puppy into your life is exciting, overwhelming and often far messier than expected. This collection is here to support you through the early weeks and months with clarity, compassion and realistic expectations. You’ll find guidance on development, behaviour and early training that focuses on building confidence and connection — not perfection.
Training & Life Skills
Training isn’t about ticking off cues or creating a perfectly obedient dog — it’s about helping your dog navigate real life successfully. These blogs focus on practical skills that make everyday life easier, from lead walking to calm behaviour at home, with an emphasis on understanding, consistency and setting your dog up to succeed.
Behaviour, Emotions & Understanding Your Dog
Behaviour always has a reason. This section explores what’s going on beneath the surface, helping you understand your dog’s emotions, communication and responses to the world around them. By learning to read your dog and respond with empathy, you can create lasting change that supports both behaviour and wellbeing.
Enrichment & Mental Stimulation
Dogs need more than physical exercise to feel fulfilled. These blogs explore enrichment in all its forms — from scentwork and problem-solving to calm, restorative activities. The focus is on meeting your dog’s natural needs in simple, achievable ways that support emotional balance and reduce unwanted behaviours.
Walks, Adventures & Real-World Living
Walks can be a highlight of your day — or the most stressful part of it. This collection supports you in navigating the real world with your dog, from busy streets to open spaces. You’ll find ideas and strategies that prioritise choice, confidence and enjoyment, helping walks feel more manageable and meaningful.
Home Life With Dogs
Life with dogs doesn’t stop when the lead comes off. These blogs focus on creating calm, supportive home environments that work for both humans and dogs. From routines and boundaries to visitors and settling, this section is about living together comfortably, not controlling behaviour.
Care, Health & Wellbeing
Your dog’s wellbeing goes far beyond food and exercise. This collection looks at everyday care through a welfare-led lens, supporting your dog’s physical comfort, emotional safety and long-term quality of life. The aim is to help you care for your dog in ways that build trust and reduce stress.
Membership & Roaming Rovers Guides
This space is here to help you get the most out of The Roaming Rovers membership. You’ll find guidance on how everything fits together, where to start, and how to use the resources in a way that suits your dog and your lifestyle — without pressure or overwhelm.
Dog Owner Mindset & Support
Supporting your dog also means supporting yourself. These blogs are here to reassure, encourage and remind you that you’re not alone. From managing expectations to navigating setbacks, this section focuses on confidence, compassion and sustainable progress — for both ends of the lead.
