Nature walks are good for dogs and humans. Nature made us, sustains us on our journey through life and recycles us (or 'embraces us' if you prefer : ) when our bodies have spent themselves.
Spending time in natural environments is invigorating, healing and tiring in a good way. A relaxed dog (and human) and good night's sleep is the result.

Long winter walks on the beach ❤️ It is easy to get lost in time and space and memories can blur with the moment. And then the moment becomes the next memory.

I want all dogs to smile like Daisy.
Sadly, wherever I look, I see dogs being violently yanked, pushed, grabbed, kicked, yelled at, growled at and more - all in the name of "dog training".
It is sad that so many "trainers" still preach coercive control rather than educating their human clients on how to build a relationship with their dog based on trust and positivity.

How fabulous to see anxious Willow run around at the dog park with her mate Winnie. She finally accepted the leash being clipped on her collar again after a recent setback (which happens!). Slow, gradual steps and patience for the win!

This is what good dog-dog play looks like. Ladoo, the 8 months old Staffy X, is still learning how to read and listen to other dogs' communication signals. Her 7 months old playmate was also a novice, but they bumbled their way through it, learned from each other and had fun. Love those play faces!

I hope this means Benji finds my building skills impressive rather than hair-raising.

Little man Zachary, 8 year old Miniature Fox Terrier x, is the most incredible "rescue dog" ever. He was found wandering the streets and must have been "sleeping rough" for a while judging by his condition, yet he has the most positive and optimistic "glass half full" attitude you could wish for. He loves people and other dogs and shows instant trust and affection. It seems he just loves life and goes along with what comes along.
His new human is absolutely smitten with him.
One problem though: He doesn't like to be left alone. Can't blame him, but we are tackling his "separation anxiety". Good news is his human is retired and has plenty of time for him, plus he's already made friends who love to look after him if his Mum does have to go out by herself.

Team Willow doing some excellent work!
Willow's human is counterconditioning Willow's fear of having equipment put on. Building trust - and following a step by step plan - is vital. Just look at the eye contact! 😍

Willow, the anxious Wolfhound X benefits from having canine company. Today I took Winnie along who had fun "trialling" all of Willows toys.
Meanwhile we made progress with Willow's leash phobia and I was able to clip the leash on her collar twice either her cooperation.
On today's reinforcement menu was roast chicken and parmesan.

Simba might look a bit worried, but his future is looking bright. The 4 year old Mini Dachshund has recently moved into a new home after spending his life at his breeder's. Of course, this is not without challenges, and anxious behaviour is to be expected. However, Simba has very dedicated new "parents" who want to help him live his best life. It all starts with making Simba feel safe and giving him time and space to learn about his new environment.
