🙉 Behaviour is communication 🙊

Juno stops on a walk and turns her head indicating she would like to take a right, not a left.

Juno grunts and leaps up when I move my feet beneath the covers, expressing her displeasure about a rude awakening.

Juno squints her eyes, purses her mouth, and rocks ever so slightly onto her haunches when a child runs up asking to pet her. "No thanks, kid. Not today."

Every movement and sound a dog makes—from the subtle wag of their tail to a sharp bark or low growl—serves as a vital expression of their inner world, conveying their needs, emotions, and intentions. The same way we use our voice, the symbolism of words and their meaning (and, yes, our body language, too), a dog exhibits particular behaviours to communicate something deeply significant, whether it be feelings of anxiety, excitement, fear, pain, discomfort, or a specific need or desire. Rather than dismissing unwanted behaviours as simply "disobedience" or "rudeness," it is imperative to interpret them as meaningful signals that require our attention and understanding.

By attuning ourselves to these communicative behaviours, we can engage in a more profound dialogue with our canine companions. This approach not only enhances the efficacy of learning/teaching but also deepens the relationship and trust between a dog and their caregiver, fostering a relationship grounded in empathy and mutual reciprocity.

Save this post! With potentially the hottest day of the year and a warm weekend ahead across the UK, it’s important to remember that our UK pups are accustomed to cooler often..rainier weather and might struggle in the sudden heat.

Keep an eye on your dogs and ensure they stay cool and hydrated 🥰

Smashed the entire course first time round. As soon as the camera came out, she didn’t want to jump. Usually her favourite activity!

Dog Walker & Pet carer

Thank you for visiting my page. I am an independent dog walker and pet carer based in Wootton, Oxfordshire. I specialise in reactive dogs, but also walk dogs that can mix with others.

For dogs that can walk in a small group (max of three) I cover Botley to Abingdon. I travel further afield for reactive dogs.

Please see below for services available and do not hesitate to contact me by phone, email or through this page if you have any questions, or would like to arrange an initial consultation.
