Please welcome Zeka to the Only Human Canine Wellbeing family 😊❤️

Zeka is so happy at home, but she struggles with arousal once out of the house, so the main focus of our outings at the moment is helping her realise she is safe and that it's ok to slow down a little.

Please welcome Raven to Only Human Canine Wellbeing 🙏

Raven sadly lost her owner and was taken in by family who continue to go above and beyond for her. She is a sweet, beautiful girl and I'm enjoying getting to know her better ❤️

In case we don't survive tonights fireworks, I want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me this year. I appreciate you all so much in trusting me to be part of all your dogs' teams 🙏

My final Trail Hunt with Jack for 2024 and we got our Foundation Plus certificate!

I feel so grateful to Niki and Sam for continuing to make WunderMutts the special, inclusive and fun place to spend quality time with my dogs.

It is truly a special and beautiful thing to have passionate and fun people who love what they do enough to put the massive effort they do into every class and event for us. Thank you both 🙏

No problem for a 4 wheel drive turbo spaniel but I felt that one! 😂

Please welcome Shikari who recently began regular Canine Wellbeing Outings with me 😊

Shikari is a very sensitive girl whose guardians have put in a huge amount of effort into helping her through adolescence, ensuring that she is listened to when communicating her needs.

Allowing anyone to take her anywhere without her family requires a lot of trust from Shikari and her humans and is a true priviledge 🙏

I am just as bad at remembering to start working on this early as the next person 🙈

Thank you So Help Me Dog for this fab post 🙏

FIREWORKS ARE COMING 🎇🧨🎆🧨

NOW is the time to……

🐾 Speak to your vet about meds if your dog really suffers

🐶 Get your Pet Remedy calming plug-ins going

🐾 Start natural calming supplements like YuMove Calming Care One-A-Day Chewies (speak to your vet if your dog is on any other medication)

🐶 Set up a cosy, sound-muffled den. Feed all meals, treats and chews in there.

🎵 Introduce sound masking music so pup’s used to hearing it - this could be classical music; taiko drumming; reggae. Whatever your dog is relaxed by. If you’re trying Taiko drumming for the first time, desensitise pup to it first by playing it at a low volume while pup enjoys a stuffed Kong. Over time, increase the volume. Whatever you choose to use, we’re looking for pup to be not bothered by it.

🐾 Get some thick window coverings set up

🐶 Research local firework displays so you know when they’re happening and ensure your pup won’t be alone at those times

🐾 Start moving evening walks to earlier so pup won’t need to go outside at peak firework times.

🐶 Make sure you’re stocked up with Kongs, Lickimats, favourite fillings and toppings and pup’s favourite long lasting chews. If pup loves frozen Kongs/Lickimats, you can get them prepped now so they’re ready to go. If you’re not sure they can manage a frozen Kong/Lickimat, you can start practising now - refrigerate them first, the partially freeze, then semi-freeze and then fully freeze them.

🐾 If you want to try anything like ear muffs or body wraps, now is the time to start slowly conditioning your pup to them

Spaniel ears and souvenirs 🙈

There is a fun dog show on today. I probably could take our dog Jack. He may enjoy it or he may find it too overwhelming. So, if I do take him, I need to be 100% ok with bringing him straight back home if he's not comfortable. I can then go back on my own if I want and spend time there supporting the local charity, without stressing out my dog. We make decisions for our dogs all the time. We need to become good at being aware of and flexible around our dogs needs. It doesn't mean we have to miss out, or feel guilty they are missing out 😊

Please welcome Nala as a new regular for my Canine Wellbeing Outings 😊

Nala's family have been working with me to figure out why she barks at other dogs and have just decided a Canine Wellbeing Outing once a week with me will give them respite from the stress of managing her while we all work together to improve how she feels out in the world.

She is such a sweetheart who is doing amazingly well in many areas and is just struggling a little with navigating social situations (something very common with a lot of dogs but especially German Shepherd who can be misunderstood by other dogs and are often very sensitive) as she goes through adolescence.

Nala's humans went to another trainer before coming to me, but felt the methods used were harsh and unfair on her. It can be so difficult to walk away from a professional, even when they treat your dog badly, because you still need answers!

Thankfully there are many wonderful trainers and behaviourists in Bracknell to choose from, so if you EVER feel even SLIGHTLY uncomfortable with the professional you have chosen - WALK AWAY! There are definitely better options 😊

Welcome Nala ❤️

Happy 9th Birthday Apollo ❤️
