Holiday ready in 14 days

HOLIDAY READY IN 14 DAYS 🐾

Worried about how your little dog will cope when you go away?

I created Holiday Ready in 14 Days to help owners gently prepare their dogs for time away from home, building confidence and helping them learn that being apart from you can be okay.

As the founder of Dinky Dogz, I’ve spent years caring for small dogs and seeing first-hand how differently they can cope with being away from their families.

This guide takes you through 14 days of simple preparation, helping your dog gradually build confidence, independence and the ability to settle without you.

Inside you’ll find:

🐶 Daily tasks and practical activities

🐾 Confidence-building exercises

🏡 Tips to help your dog become comfortable with being away from home

❤️ Guidance on settling, routines and independence

📝 Space to record your dog’s progress

💛 Encouragement and reassurance for you too

This isn’t about changing your dog or expecting them to suddenly become independent.

It’s about small steps, patience and giving your little dog the opportunity to learn that they can cope.



Whether your dog is going on their first holiday, staying with family, boarding, or simply needs a little more confidence when you’re apart, this guide gives you a simple plan to follow.

14 days. Small steps. More confidence. A happier holiday for both of you. 🐾❤️
