Who takes their canine friend on holiday?

For holidays away, I'm a big fan of taking a compact puppy fence. This helps you manage where you dog is allowed to go at the accommodations or camp ground you're staying at.

It also allows them to move freely (as opposed to getting tangled on a long lead) which is always be the best option for natural dog behaviour.

Another benefit of the puppy fence: if your dog is barking at things, you can block the view by draping a sheet over the fence to reduce the visual trigger.

Have you tried a puppy fence? Was it a success or a furry flop?

The circle dog greeting is a really polite way for dogs to say hi and get to know each other.

In this video, I show you what that looks like and how to help your dog practice better hellos if the circle greeting isnt something they're currently doing.

It's a rare one to have the gang in a photo ready 'together' pose, but I'm thinking the velvety bedspread I put on the couch was a good enticement! 😁

This month's video is all about having clearer communication with your animal.

The training marker is a foundational tool for training any animal using positive reinforcement. This one's for dogs and cats (and many other animals) and is a go to when teaching new behaviour or wanting to capture good behaviour your dog or cat offers.

Don't take it personally if a dog or cat doesn't is showing reactive or fearful behaviour. Here's what you can do instead.

Who takes their four footed friend on holiday road trips?

I'm a van lover mostly for the ease of travel that comes when you have an animal friendly set up!

Just a little cat fun for you to smile at.

Are you looking for a natural way to heal your dog or cat's on going anxiety behaviour?

One of the reasons our animals continue to show fearful and reactive behavior is because their body uses the stress response as a personalised survival reference manual.

During events your animal finds stressful or scary, an emotional memory is created (such as 'I don't feel safe') and this is used to judge future situations that look similar. We witness this physically through their behaviour.

Animal kinesiology works on releasing these stressful patterns so that your dog or cat is no longer operating on Anxiety Auto Pilot and can make different behavior choices.

What to expect from an animal kinesiology session:

🔷 We use acupressure, trapped emotion release and Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques to balance and calm your dog or cat's energy system and stress response.

🔷 Online sessions: I keep the anxiety and overwhelm levels very low by guiding you through the release work during an online video call.

🔷 Support: We look at ongoing support your companion animal might need to continual their emotional and behavioural journey.

Package options:

2 x 60 minute sessions
(with two tune ups sessions)
$225

or

3 x 60 minute sessions
(with 4 tune ups sessions)
$375

When working with problem behaviour there are two perspectives that are important: yours and your animal's. There is often a mental difference in these two perspectives that hasn't yet found harmony with each other.

An example might be:

Your Perspective: 'People entering my home are safe and welcomed.'
Your dog's perspective: 'Stranger alert! This is bad!! I don't feel safe!'

When solving problem behaviour, we need to create a bridge between our perspectives and the animal's. When we do, we can start to create new understanding and new behaviour will naturally flow from that.

Don't take it personal. Listen instead. They're trying to communicate a need to the world and when that needs is met, you'll see transformation.
