Let dogs be dogs 🥹
Honestly, how frustrating would it be to live in a world of RULES, in ANOTHER LANGUAGE, while being tied to a leash most of your life.
Dogs deal with human constructs and lifestyles very well, considering how limiting they can be for them.
Sometimes we just need to take them as they are and offer them what they need!

Isn’t it funny how some dog toys seems to have 15 minutes of fun time and then your dog forgets about them… 😅
Here are some simple ideas for dogs that like to search for their food (it can also mimick some behaviors that dogs evolved to do, such as preying on smaller animals).
1. putting favorite squeak toy inside old food bag + closing it
2. having a nice training session in your living room 🧠
3. putting smaller toys into broken plush toys🧸
Monsieur loves to pull things apart, especially when there's something inside to discover. He seems to find it fun to turn his toys inside out, and I bet your pup would too!

Je suis intervenant.e en comportement canin, bien sûr que 🤓
Imagine a 6-week-old Samoyed, abandoned at a shelter, and a dog trainer full of dreams, crossing paths.
The moment I met Mama Bear, thanks to @daphne.fb, I knew she was here to stay (and thankfully my husband agreed). She jumped right in our family and our precious journey started. But, hey, sometimes life gets…twisty, and this was the case.
Mama Bear was the model pup, nailing her training and socialization outings (she even played with a baby pig 🐽). Yet, as her fluffy fur grew, so did the need for grooming—a need I had underestimated.
The twist came sharply when I got deeply injured - I was in bed rest for 4 months. It was during this long pause I realized grooming was more than a routine—it was essential for her comfort and wellbeing.
I was seeing her need for grooming increase, but didn’t know where to get help and was afraid to ask other professionals. As a dog trainer, you should be able to do it all… right? Wrong!! An amazing groomer helped us maintain her grooming needs, and we resumed to training as soon as it was possible.
Reflecting on those initial months (before the injury), I wish I’d incorporated cooperative grooming into our daily routine, sparing Mama Bear from future stress. It’s now a staple of our lives. Not every part of the experience is done with her full cooperation yet, but we work on it actively. She enjoys most of the routine, and it’s so much more peaceful than it once was.
The lesson? Never undervalue early training and building positive habits from the start. It’s about preparing for life’s unexpected turns.
Having trouble getting your dog to chill outside? Here’s what might be happening 🍃
- Not enough freedom moments outside of leash walking: exploring more off-leash areas or designated sniff spots to provide your dog with opportunities to roam and sniff freely and safely.
- Not matching your dog’s energy level: adjust activities to suit your dog’s energy level, preventing moments where your expectation so and your dogs need just clash.
- Not rewarding the behaviors you like consistently (auto-check in, waiting for you, walking without pulling, sniffing): consistently reinforce desired behaviors with treats, praise, play time, training, or access to what they seek to encourage relaxation and reinforce what you like.
- Not going to quieter spots to learn to chill: seek out calmer, quieter locations where your dog can relax without distractions, facilitating a more peaceful outdoor experience.
- Consider various factors such as your dog’s energy level, sniffing and food saturation, distraction levels, learning history in the area, and potential fears or triggers in the environment to better align your expectations and create a more conducive outdoor experience.
- Not practicing those skills consistently: regularly practice these skills to reinforce desired behaviors and promote a harmonious outdoor experience for both of you.
By addressing these factors, you can create a more conducive environment for your dog to chill outside and enjoy their time 🍃🧘🏾
My day as a dog trainer 🌞 Si reconnaissante de pouvoir faire ce métier au quotidien 🙌
