Pawblems Made Easy

Boji: From Chaos to Calm ✨

Just one session in and this young guy is already learning how to settle his busy brain 💆‍♂️🐾 thanks to the effort his family has been putting in!

Boji’s biggest pawblem was emotional regulation given his young age. He’d get overstimulated, excited and had a hard time winding down.

His pet parents shared this update after a morning out:

“He’s been tired and sleepy since 12 and this is him now, still… 💤”

✅ From non-stop energy to choosing naps on the floor
✅ From overexcitement to peaceful stillness
✅ From chaos to calm, all after a single session

There’s no dog training secrets or specific tools (especially none that cause pain!), just learning how to nurture an understanding from pet parent to dogs that helps naturally create a dog that can much more easily give us what we want, after they’ve gotten what they need from us.

We also chatted crate comfort (still a work in progress), but for now? He’s resting beautifully and that’s a big win. 🐶❤️

These recommendations are great all-year round! :)

Keeping your dog mentally stimulated is crucial for their well-being and can help prevent unwanted behaviours that often arise from boredom.

Feeding time? Make sure the F stands for fulfilling fun through foraging! How creative do you get with your dog’s food and toys for enrichment? 🤓🐕🧠

Here are 3 dog walking Dos & Don’ts:

✅ Focus on how your dog is feeling every step of the way and how you can nurture happy and loose feelings
✅ Purposely select and walk in environments that feel doable for you both
✅ Reinforce and reward decisions made by your dog that you’d like to see more of

❌ Avoid putting tension or pressure on the leash
❌ Don’t ask your dog to stay still or sit when something concerns them
❌ Avoid using devices that cause discomfort or any type of mental or physical pain

The best way to get to know your dog is to present them with different options! 🐶❤️ For example, dogs enjoy snuffle mays more than food puzzles or vice versa. While for others it might depend entirely on their mood.

The good thing is that you can’t lose by giving your dog the opportunity to choose. Just be sure to put away said options once you’re both done making the most of them. That way your dog will find them interesting later on when you bring them back out!

The #1 value I teach new pet parents is to understand that their pup is not born knowing what to do. And the best way to have their puppy behave they way they’d like is by reinforcing those good choices. However little, insignificant or meaningless they may seem. ☺️🐶❤️

The more you let your puppy know what you like, the more they feel encouraged to do just that. And if ever it feels like they just can’t or don’t seem to understand what else to do, your pup may be trying to communicate something to you.

Commonly, your puppy might be trying to communicate to you that they’re bored (lacking proper physical, mental and social enrichment opportunities), overtired, afraid or simply unsure.

In any case, helping them do something that you both feel good about will help you reset, restart and get things right! 🌟

It’s important that you allow your dog moments to take it all in when you’re in social settings. We often rush to either get the walk over and done with, or to get to our destination. But part of the struggle for a lot of dogs is that the world around them moves incredibly fast, and it can be difficult for them to catch up.

So be sure to take advantage of your next walk and pause, let your dog process the moment and proceed at their pace. 👍🏼
