This is a simple message from All Dogs Go To Kevin. But, in my view, it's one of the most important in dog training today

This week's blog post is about how not all bites are the same. One of the best things we can do is pay close attention to what is making our dogs uncomfortable and either prevent it from happening or work on changing the association they have with it.

Really looking forward to this. Such a fascinating and exciting topic.

An absolutely wonderful account of how the journey with a fearful dog can be something of a game of snakes and ladders and why knowing how to keep everyone on message is so important. By Toni Clarke. A colleague I’m really proud to call a friend.

Our latest blog post is an uncompromising challenge to the idea that you should push fearful dogs to “feel the fear and do it anyway”.
We’ve offered an analogy that we hope will help clarify why systematic desensitisation and counter-conditioning is the very best way to go if you’re trying to help a fearful dog make sense of their world:

It’s always tempting with fearful dogs to want to make everything go faster: ‘What’s the harm in trying to make them go out on a walk? They have to do it sometime.’ Or: ‘If you don’t show leadership and encourage them to face scary situations, they’ll never improve.’ Or: ‘Why don.....

Our latest blog from Nina

A personal take on navigating the highs and lows from Nina, the non-pro trainer in the Sociable Dog household. No two fearful dogs are exactly alike. Each one is fearful in their own way. Some hide behind sofas or under tables, others rage against the world to make it retreat. But from the human per...
