Letting your dog spend time at the window watching the world go by might seem harmless at first, but over time it can lead to barking and reactivity towards people or dogs passing by. Once this behaviour develops, it can be tricky to change without the right management strategies in place.

In the long run, constant window-watching and barking can create unnecessary stress for your dog, which often spills over into other areas of their behaviour too.

More on this below 👇

Thanks for the awesome post ABC Dogs NZ

Going wild at the window?
Frantic when the mail arrives?
"My dog loves it though !"
It may look like fun and yup for some it is.... but it is one stressful game they are "playing".
Is it a healthy game?
Do they rest and sleep or sit there and scan for hours?
Obsession is obsession....whether it is fun or not.

Stress hormones are still released whether this is from fun or fear....they don't just disappear either. They can compound and cause issues in other ways.
They change a dogs behaviour.

If you are struggling with reactivity outside of the home.
Stop the "game'.
It fuels reactivity.

Running from window to window to follow that person or dog seems ok to some people....but how is it truly affecting this dog?

Happy International Dog Day to all of the amazing pooches in the world. Hope you are all having a very special day 💕 🥰🐈.

From me and Tama who is feeling better now and slowly getting back to himself ❤️

✨ Oh Winston!! ✨

I had the absolute pleasure of working with the very gorgeous Winston — a big, happy, social adolescent pup who just loves life, smells, people, dogs… and sometimes that excitement meant Winston was taking his hooman for a very speedy walk!👋🐕💨🐾💛

Adolescence is such a normal but sometimes challenging stage — we often see pups that suddenly forget their training, pull on lead, get over-excited, or find it harder to focus. It’s all part of growing up, and with the right support and guidance, they absolutely can learn the skills to cope calmly with the world around them 🌍🐾.

We spent our sessions fine-tuning Winston’s lead walking skills, building focus and engagement so his hooman becomes just as exciting as the environment, and helping him practise how to slow down and enjoy the world at a calmer pace 🌿. This means walks can now be more comfortable (and a little less like a sprint!) for everyone.

And this beautiful 40kg Goldie and his wonderful hooman guardian absolutely smashed it 🤩🙌. Winston, you are the sweetest soul and the true definition of a Golden Retriever, sooo beautiful. Wishing you and your wonderful family many happy adventures ahead 💛🐶

Big shout out to the lovely team at Morpeth Veterinary Hospital for looking after my boy this weekend. Its been a big few days for Tama and he still isnt 100% but he is much better and it looks like we maybe in the clear now. When our pets are unwell its so hard not knowing why and this is when we really appreciate our vets guidance in supporting our fur kids to get better. So thank you we appreciate you 🙏🤗.

Lastly im so very sorry to the clients I had to cancel yesterday to monitor Tama. I appreciate your very kind patience and understanding 🙏 will come back to you tomorrow with some alternative dates.

I hope you all have a lovely Sunday with your fur kids and enjoy the sun. 😍 👌 🐾🐕
