It’s been a bit of an early Christmas here.
Received some lovely cards in the post from a pair of super terriers. I haven’t worked with them for some time and it’s great to hear how well they are doing in the little updates they sent.
Well done boys, and well done to Mum for keeping up the good work 🐾

These little ladies have worked incredibly hard on planning, practicing and performing their own little Christmas routine for us all.
Focus, being calm and precise, and frustration can be a real struggle for both of them, but I think they have cracked it.
Well done my little dream team!!
Wishing them and everyone else a very Happy Christmas

Would you call it a ‘coddle of cockapoos’ or a ‘chaos of cockapoos’?
Either way I can’t wait to start working with this little group and their fabulous owners.

From week one, where focus and response to name were none existent, to week four where he is actively offering engagement and responding to his name and handler requests!
This young boy is fantastic, and with more guidance and consistency will do brilliantly

It can be all too easy to look at a behaviour, particularly one that we find problematic, as an isolated thing that just occurs, or is put down to false and outdated ideas like 'dominance' or 'stubbornness'.

Think of behaviour as a symptom - underlying that behaviour there is an emotion driving that behaviour. Behaviours don't happen just 'because', there is always a reason for them and so it's up to us to learn how to understand what they are trying to tell us so we can work out what that emotion is.

And at the root of it all there will be a need. Something that is causing the dog to feel that particular emotion and so lead them to show the behaviour that we are seeing. Once we have discovered the emotion the dog is feeling, we can work out what the dog needs and help them to get whatever that may be.

The three pictures here give an example:

Behaviour: the dog is barking at something. If you look at their posture and body language the body is leaning back, away from what they are barking at. The ears are back, whiskers flared, and eyes fixed on something. The front paw is slightly lifted and there is a back paw in the air, and the back end of the dog may be lowered towards the ground a little.

Emotion: what the overall picture of the body language is telling us is that the dog is scared of the thing they are barking at, so the emotion they are feeling is fear.

Need: What this dog needs is immediate space from the thing that is bothering them, so they can feel relief from that fear and feel safer again. What they need going on is an increased feeling of safety and security, more trust in us to help them if they need it or get them out of a situation if it's too much for them.

When we can understand the need and emotion driving the behaviour we can understand our dogs far better and see where they need our help.

Loose lead walking, heal and recall are life lessons that take time and patience to achieve.
It requires the basis of breed specific and individual needs being met in each dog, and the underlying skills of calm, confidence, disengagement and handler focus.

Sharing snuggles in the car after lots of muddy fun in an enclosed field.
It’s so lovely to work with him outdoors when he’s not crippled by the fear he has of the end of his road 💚 🐶
