Revolution Animal Behaviour Consulting and Training

…their dog is displaying unwanted behaviour either at home or perhaps reactivity on walks. Everyone wants a solution to the behaviour when it is happening. But the solution is really in addressing underlying causes and a lot of practice outside of situations you’re having issues.

For awhile Echo, my German shepherd, was getting quite mouthy and jumping when he wanted something. Now, he’s offering to lay on his mat and wait patiently for whatever it is he needs (play time, a walk, food, etc). This is not because of what I did in the moment when he was being wild…it’s because of all the reps we put in of going to his mat, practicing self control, and implementing frustration reducing exercises.

So if you come to me with a struggle you’re having with your dog and you want to know what to do, I’m going to give your survival tools for when it’s happening. But if you want results in terms of behaviour change, it’s all about determining the underlying cause(s) and practicing the behaviours you want to see.

I’m so appreciative this weekend for all the people that showed such dedication and joy in training their dogs. And super excited for everyone that attended cooperative care practice sessions at the vet clinic or signed up for cooperative care. Just beautiful!

And by child I mean dog and by doctor I mean vet. But if you thought I meant a human child, you were probably outraged. Why is this acceptable to have our dogs (or cats) “taken to the back”?!

We share a deep bond with our pets, and they with us. As their guardians and advocates, we play a vital role in ensuring their comfort and well-being. Removing a dog from their parent, guardian, advocate during routine veterinary care should always be questioned.

Pet parents: choose a veterinarian who respects your bond with your animal and values your role as their guardian and advocate. Part of this role is speaking on behalf of your pet—just as you would for a child—because both lack the power and language to clearly (and sometimes safely!) express their needs and boundaries.

Vet clinics: if something can’t be done without separating an animal from their guardian, take the time to educate the owner on how they can support both you and their pet through the process. Invest in learning and applying behavioral science—when used correctly, it allows procedures to be done efficiently, safely, and without unnecessary emotional trauma.

And if a clinic isn’t concerned about this, one has to wonder: what’s happening “in the back” that clients aren’t meant to see?

Sundays are cooperative care days in the clinic aka my favourite day. From nail trims to blood draws, wellness exams to sedation prep, our cooperative care program can help animals that are scared and/or displaying aggression.

Training your dog or puppy to be an active participant in their care is a bonding experience and a practical one. It helps develop trust and makes care procedures safer and easier for everyone involved….even for unpleasant and painful things like blood draws and needles.

Reach out if you need support for your dog/puppy or want to work on sessions as prevention. Every session is tailored to you and your pup!

Recently, some of the Revolution Animals team was interviewed for a piece in the University of Alberta New Trail magazine. Check it out using the link below!

Since dog training is unregulated, it’s great to keep spreading the word on what the difference is between certain professionals and what to look for. Remember that a behaviourist has either Masters degree or PhD from an accredited university. So if you’re dealing with a behaviour issue with your animal, seek out a behaviourist!

We have a new class coming up all about teaching your dog or cat to take meds…even the ones that don’t taste good!

Do you want to make delivering medication easier?
