The Lost Dog Tracking Network (LDTN)
The Lost Dog Tracking Network has set up teams of trained tracking dogs and handlers to help when owners lose their dogs. The LDTN operational team dogs and handlers are trained and assessed providing a UK-wide, professional standard. LDTN was founded Claire Brown from West Yorkshire, who identified the huge need for fully trained and assessed dogs to assist in lost dog searching. “Our dogs can help find your dog. It’s as simple as that. We have an established network of volunteer handlers and dogs who are trained, assessed, and certified to track lost or missing dogs. LDTN covers regional teams across England and the Channel Islands, all with a wealth of experience and knowledge.” For more information www.northk9.co.uk
Canine Hoopers – This low-impact activity is like an agility course but designed for dogs of all ages, sizes, and abilities. In Hoopers, dogs weave through hoops, run around barrels, go through tunnels and follow gentle curves, allowing them to enjoy a structured path without jumping or sharp turns. This makes it especially great for puppies, seniors, and dogs who may have joint issues or are new to dog sports.
AquaPaws Hydrotherapy – A specialist vet physio led canine hydro-physio centre based in Northallerton. Client specific plans that are vital for post-operative recovery, effectively managing musculoskeletal disease and improving the performance of your beloved companion.
Herriot Veterinary Physiotherapy– A mobile veterinary physiotherapy service improving the lives of animals across North Yorkshire. By adapting treatments, therapies and physical exercise techniques, our services are benefiting clients that range from top competition horses to dogs post orthopaedic surgery.
Vet Friend – The independent, friendly and contactable qualified vet. The remote ‘on hand’ specialist to provide that second opinion, query your pets medications, or explore all treatment options.
