Day 9 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
Went a bit further afield today. To a little town called Alcoi, which is in the province of Valencia, but not the city. The temperature was much cooler due to the height of the city, which is 562m above sea level. Did a lovely walk up a mountain, which culminated in a beautiful, huge cross.…

Day 8 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
I wanted a short walk as I had some other things that I needed to do, so I looked on my trusty app and discovered a walk only 13 minutes from my hotel. The write up suggested a quiet country style road for about 3KM. Upon reaching the walk it was anything but. Although it…

Day 7 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
Tried a park walk today with the dogs – not my preferred style of walk but felt it important to truly explore the city. There is an enclosed dog park, which I had seen and decided to visit with my three. It is a really well designed space, which unfortunately, is not looked after by…

Spudley has cut his pads over the last couple of days on the sharp rocks, I have been dressing them with Aloe Vera Gel, but I decided today to do a less mountainous route. This was just under 5K, and was a woodland path. There were some rocky sections, but I called Spudley back to…

Day 3 – Dog trainer & dogs in Valencia
As yesterdays walk was a longish one we decided to do a shorter one today, Just under 4km, a pleasant enough route – the beach was beautiful and empty. The only people that I saw were fishing off the Jetty. One of the things that I find really good about Valencia so far, is…

Day 2 – Dog Trainer and her dogs in Valencia
Whilst I am here, I have a number of plans. One of which is to try and increase my fitness by walking/ hiking some of the trails in the area. Like most people I am sure, Christmas time can be a time of excess and sedentary for me. The weather in the UK is miserable,…

Day 1 – Dog Trainer and her Dogs in Valencia
Day 1 – I awoke still very tired from the drive across France, so decided to visit a dog friendly beach. Something to bear in mind when planning the trip was the difference in climate to the UK, Taking UK dogs from one climate to another should be considered. As a dog trainer and competitor in…

Pet Travel Certificate
Visited the vet to get the ball rolling on the Pet travel certificate. On arrival the vet scanned each dog in turn, checking the microchip numbers correlated with the system and records he had. He then had to check they were all up to date with their Rabies vaccination’s – they were. An overall check…
