Vets and trainers bring different expertise to the table.

A vet can help rule out or treat medical factors that may influence behaviour. A trainer focuses on how that behaviour shows up day-to-day and how to safely manage it.

Even when there’s a medical explanation, the behaviour still exists and it still needs thoughtful handling.

Different roles, but one shared goal of your dog’s well-being

If your dog is “never tired,” the question isn’t how do I do more.
It’s what need isn’t being met yet?

A) You have a working breed… and you’re not actually doing enough

This isn’t an insult, it’s a really common misunderstanding.

Dogs like:
• German Shepherds
• Border Collies
• Australian Shepherds
• Hounds
• Heelers
• Malinois

Were bred for hours of work, movement, problem-solving, and endurance.

If your idea of exercise is one or two 20-minute walks a day, that’s often maintenance, not fulfilment.

Walks alone usually won’t fix it either. Especially if the walks are not long enough.
What actually makes a difference:
• Running
• Structured play
• Training with movement
• Jobs that require effort and thinking

A tired dog is a good dog. So do the things to get your dog tired.

“My dog is never tired.”

Maybe.
Or maybe one of these things is happening 👇

A) You have a high energy dog and their needs aren’t actually being met
B) You have a purpose-driven dog who never gets to do their job
C) Physical needs are met, but mental needs are not considered
D) Your dog is actually overtired and/or doesn’t know how to settle

We’re going to break each of these down, because a dog who’s never tired is usually a dog whose needs are being missed or misunderstood.

Stay tuned for the deep dive.

What crazy you silly thing have you done to be able to tolerate (or maybe even enjoy) the winter with your dogs? This year, I got myself some snow shoes that I could still take them for a walk to the deep snow.

New Year’s Eve parties

With New Year’s in mind, let’s talk toxic substances.

With dogs at a party that rowdy, it may be possible for your dog to get into food, alcohol, or possibly ma*****na.

It’s important to keep in mind that alcohol and ma*****na are extremely toxic to dogs and should be kept out of reach, and ensuring guests understand the importance of this.

Along with that, many fun new years treats can cause an upset stomach or be toxic to our dogs! Chocolates, jalapeños, queso, buffalo dip, and sugar free foods containing xylitol (such as some peanut butters) some of the most popular treats, can be a disaster if your dog gets ahold of them.

It’s easy to forget when we’re distracted by all the fun! But it can cause a sick pup or an expensive vet bill if we aren’t vigilant!

Let’s keep our dogs safe for the rest of the holiday season!

Serious question: What role does your dog take on while gifts are being unwrapped? 🎁

Supervisor?
Paper shredder?
Overstimulated gremlin?
Or do they patiently wait to see if this somehow involves treats?

Can you get rid of prey drive? Well… not really. But you can fulfill that drive using different forms of play, work and activities.

Does your dog have a high prey drive and you’re unsure what to do? Dm me to book a session!

What’s in your dog’s stocking this year? What have they been begging for all year long? Or do they get a lump of coal…

Whis is loving his Christmas gift already… an orthopaedic dog bed

Tinpa would love a good beef cheek roll

And of course, all Major could ask for is more balls and frisbees!

If your dog is on the naughty list this year, contact me to get them on the nice list next year!
