Did you know that a dog’s emotional state can impact how they view the world?
Just like us, dogs can experience optimism and pessimism based on how they’re feeling. Studies have shown that when dogs are in a positive emotional state, they tend to respond to new situations more optimistically. On the other hand, when they’re in a negative state, they may react with more caution or pessimism. This connection between emotion and behaviour is often used in animal welfare research to evaluate how happy and content animals really are.

So, how do we help keep our dogs in a positive emotional state? One key way is by letting them do what comes naturally—using their amazing sense of smell! Engaging in nosework activities, like simple foraging games or scent work, can help boost their mood and overall well-being. When dogs get the chance to sniff and explore, they become more optimistic and feel more fulfilled. It doesn’t have to be complicated either! You can scatter their biscuits in the garden, hide treats around the house, or even use a snuffle mat to let them “hunt” for food. These activities not only keep your dog entertained but also allow them to do what they love best—sniffing!

Want to give it a try?
Nosework can be as simple or as advanced as you want it to be, and the benefits for your dog are huge. If you’d like to learn more about fun, easy nosework games or how to incorporate sniffing activities into your dog’s routine, feel free to reach out! Let’s work together to bring more joy and enrichment into your dog’s life—one sniff at a time.

Do you do any sort of nose work games with your dog?

*CALLING OWNERS OF DOGS WITH BEHAVIOUR PROBLEMS AND PROFESSIONAL DOG BEHAVIOUR MODIFICATION PROFESSIONALS IN THE UK*

Are you a dog owner, or a dog behaviour professional?

Have you sought advice in the UK for a behaviour issue with your dog within the last two years?

OR

Have you provided professional advice in the UK for a behaviour issue with a dog within the last two years?

If so, researchers at the University of Edinburgh are seeking your assistance in a vital research project. We invite you to partake in a brief online survey regarding your experience with the behaviour consultation process and your experience of the communication process throughout the behaviour modification process.

Your participation in this study would be immensely valued, as it contributes to our understanding of best practices from the perspective of dog owners. The study has obtained ethical approval, and your involvement is entirely voluntary, confidential, and anonymous.

The reliability of our results depends on the number of participants, so we encourage you to please SHARE THIS POST if you would be happy to support us in this way. Thank you very much in advance. For additional information and to participate in the survey, please follow this link:

Changes in behaviour, refusal to walk on slippery floors, reluctance to jump in the car and maybe not wanting to walk like they used to... deliberate disobedience or perhaps something else?

If your dog has changed behaviour, maybe they have stopped wanting to do something they have always enjoyed, or maybe they arent quite their normal happy self? It is a good time to ask why they are behaving this way and seek further help. Dogs cant tell us when they are uncomfortable, we have to look for the signs! Our dogs arent being deliberatley difficult, they need our support.

Learn to look beyond the behaviour and always ask why!

Please share and hopefully we can help educate more dog owners and help even more dogs!

A simple guide to toilet training your puppy. There is never any reason to reprimand or use any other punishments for accidents in the home because this is YOUR job to take them out and give them every opportunity to succeed. The more consistent you are, the quicker your pup will pick it up. But do not fall into the trap of thinking your dog is toilet trained if you have had a few days with no accidents, they are still learning and it can take many months for a dog to be reliably house trained and this is likely to go out of the window when they are taken to a different house for a visit or daycare. You’ve got this 👍👍

So so so chuffed with this darling girl for making it to a full FIVE MINUTES in our Separation Anxiety reassessment today. It may not seem like a lot but for a dog who previously couldn’t handle her family being a foot away from her it is so wonderful to see her snoozing away peacefully while her family is actually out of the house! It’s all about consistency so a big well done to the family for putting in the time and effort 💪🏻

"We came to Hal to help us with our noise reactive rescue dog Norman. She gave us some great tips and tricks on how to calm him down and how to keep him less stressed, helping not only us but him too.

If you’re adding a new dog to your family be sure to pick up some enzymatic cleaner for any accidents. Even adult dogs who are advertised as house trained often have a few accidents when settling into a new environment, simply because they don’t know it’s their home yet! The Simple Solutions enzyme cleaner breaks down the urate crystals in dog urine, preventing dogs from being attracted back to the same spot over and over again. Most household cleaners contain ammonia and this can actually make housetraining even harder so save yourself a lot of headache and get the right products from the get go!
