Why are people so hesitant to advocate for their dogs?

Your dog’s comfort, stress levels, and boundaries should matter more than what other people think—friends, family, or strangers.

It shouldn't be awkward to say:
🚫 “Please don’t pet him.”
⏸️ “He needs space right now.”
🐾 “He’s in training, thanks for understanding.”

You’re not being rude. You’re being a responsible dog caregiver.

Also… real question:
Why do you need to pet someone else’s dog in the first place—especially if they’re not part of your family?
Your curiosity or excitement isn’t more important than a dog’s emotional safety.

Advocating for your dog should never be embarrassing. It should be the bare minimum🐾

Some of the beautiful faces at The Haven this week for private training. Everything from socialisation with my dogs to relaxed lead work and confidence building activities. Looking forward to more catchups with the warmer weather coming 🤞

🐾 Puppy Socialisation ≠ Puppy Play 🐾

Yes, watching puppies play is adorable 😍 … but that’s not what true socialisation is about!

✅Well - socialised puppies feel calm and confident in new places
✅They are comfortable around different people and animals
✅ And most importantly—they look to YOU for guidance in tricky situations

Play can be fun, but appropriate socialisation builds the foundation for a confident, resilient dog for life 💪

A catch up for Penny with Dr Jo this week. More frequent Vet checks are important as dogs age. Changes happen quickly and it’s important to get on top of things early. Memphis and Wicket also had their top-ups for Leptospirosis which is now being recommended as an annual vaccination for our dogs.

Nicer weather at the end of the week allowed for a visit from one our favourite visitors, Diamond. Always lovely to see...

Precious little Cav Arnie returned to The Haven for lead training this week. It’s often easier to teach lead work without the lead initially. This encourages following and prevents pulling on both ends of the lead. Well done little man 👏🐾
