This happy gal has been doing some hour walks instead of half hour recently, so we’ve been wandering right out to Papcastle and enjoying the views, or extra good sniffs in her case.
We even made it all the way to the Belle Vue pub one day but there was some very fast walking towards the end of that one as I’d seriously misjudged the distance 😂

February 🌸🌼 First signs of Spring are making for some happy dogs and a very happy Gem! It’s been a bit of a relentless Winter for the noise sensitive ones, with Firework night lasting a whole week and at random times of the day 🤯, and then pheasant shoots from then on. It’s great to now see them start to be able to relax on their walks again and see their smiles come out more ☺️

Also loving the new lead slip with “training” on it from
I’ve also got ones with “give me space” on, and it’s interesting to see the change in reactions from people with this one. This seems to invite more curiosity rather than judgement 🤔

December 🐾🎄😃 Which also marks another year of Fjell Canine Co. I consider myself ridiculously lucky to spend my days with these beautiful faces.

There’s been so many wins for all of them this year, from reacting less in situations they would previously have and even no reactions at all, quicker recovery times, to holding in some major excitement beans and keeping calm in busy coffee shops, and many more! Here’s to another year of walks that end in happy, fulfilled and relaxed dogs!

Merry merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎊🎄🐾

It was so lovely to see this cutie again last week! She’s been with me since almost the very start, so we know each other quite well now and always have good chats on our walks. She also gets a serious case of the wiggles whenever I arrive which is very sweet!

What a way to end the week with an Afternoon Hike with this wonderful girl! There were so many happy wiggles from just the happiness that comes with being on the fells, many sheep raisins consumed (not by me), and she was one very happy girl when she found the perfect stick which came all the way home with us 😃🐾⛰️

How handsome does this boy look on his Afternoon Hike the other month? He was treated to having a personal photographer capture his hike (I.e. my Husband!), also known as the ‘Human Treat Dispenser’ as we wanted to create all the positive associations with new people from the start.

He’s a very sensitive boy and coped so well with all the new smells, sights and sounds.

On his everyday walks, we’ve been focusing a lot on keeping his stress levels as low as possible so he can cope better with his triggers, and we’ve done this by including some puzzle and snuffle toys at the end of his walks. To put this into the context of humans - after a stressful day, do you like to do something relaxing like reading a book or taking a bath, or making a cup of tea? And does it feel like you are better able to tackle the challenging things after doing these things ? Maybe not all the time, particularly if it’s been a very stressful day, but a lot of the time this stuff works. It’s exactly the same for our dogs 😊

This is to do with our nervous systems. Just like humans, dogs have two divisions to their autonomic nervous systems : the sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division. The sympathetic division is activated when the body is put under stress, whether that’s through exercise or the commonly known concept of “flight or fight”. The parasympathetic division counteracts this, regulating bodily functions and preserving energy by lowering the heart rate. In dogs, the parasympathetic division can be activated through activities that lower their heart rate, such as enrichment activities that encourage sniffing or playing relaxing music. Our dogs are so much more like us than we realise when it comes to stress, so if there are ways I can reduce it for them as part of their walks, you bet you’ll find me doing just that !
