🐾 Every pup parent should take this onboard... Please do because I’m still seeing evidence of this issue every day! 🐾

If you have a dog, you know the joy they bring into our lives. But have you considered the environmental impact of doggy waste?

Far too often, dog lovers neglect the importance of cleaning up after their pets. When we leave their mess behind, it not only spoils our parks and streets, but it harms the environment.

Your dog's waste contains harmful bacteria and pollutants that can seep into our soil and water, affecting ecosystems and even posing health risks to other animals and humans.

So before you take your four-legged friend for a stroll in the park, remember to bring those p**p bags and be a responsible pet parent.

Our planet and our community depend on it. Let's make our world cleaner and safer for all. 🌍💚

💕 Totally chuffed to have received this review from a lovely customer this week! 💕

"I recently adopted a new young staffy pup, full of energy & great fun. Unfortunately he was prone being spooked by joggers running past him-with no warning & on a couple of occasions snapped at the runner l was concerned that he might nip someone & was directed to Carrie. Over a few sessions we worked on various strategies to avoid this behaviour, these simple techniques have helped avoid any issues & it has given me far more confidence walking my pup. We also worked on long line training which is great fun for both me & my pup whilst honing his recall skills, highly recommended"

🐾 Struggling with a reactive dog? You're not alone! 🐕‍🦺

It's tough when your dog reacts to certain situations, and it can leave you feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. But I want you to know that I understand the challenges you're facing.

As an experienced dog behaviourist, I've worked with countless reactive dogs and their families, and I know it's not always a walk in the park.

Do any of these sound familiar?

😬 Barking and lunging on walks

😬 Fear or aggression towards other dogs

😬 Anxiety in specific situations

😬 Destructive behaviour at home

It's important to remember that reactivity is actually a common issue and can be managed and improved with the right guidance and support.

We're here to provide that guidance!

Our customised training programs are designed to address your dog's specific needs, and your concerns are our top priority. Together, we can help your pup become more confident and well-adjusted, making your relationship stronger than ever. ❤️

So, if you're ready to transform your reactive dog into a more relaxed and happy companion, reach out to us today!

Send us a direct message or visit our website at https://carriescaninesscheduleappointment.as.me/ to learn more about our services.

We're here to support you on your journey to a harmonious life with your much loved pooch! 🐶💕

🐾🎗️ November is Pet Cancer Awareness Month! 🎗️🐾

Our furry friends are an important part of our lives, but just like us, they can unfortunately suffer with cancer.

This month, let's come together to raise awareness about pet cancer and support those pets and their families who are fighting this tough battle. 💪

📌 Did you know that early detection is key to improving the chances of recovery for our pets?

Regular vet check-ups and knowing the warning signs can make all the difference.

🔦 Keep an eye out for signs like unusual lumps or bumps, changes in appetite, weight loss, and abnormal behavior. And don't hesitate to consult your vet if you notice anything concerning.

🌟 Let's also celebrate the brave pets who have conquered cancer, and remember those we've lost.

Share your inspiring stories, photos, and tips for raising awareness this month using the hashtag

.

💛 Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our beloved furry companions.

So support pet cancer research, raise awareness, and cherish every moment with your pets.

They're not just pets, they're family. 🐶🐱🦔🐹

😘 Here's my top tip this Monday! 😘

If you ever find yourself at the end of your tether with your puppy that just won’t settle down

Here's what you can do:

⭐️ Ensure all of their needs have been met

If your puppy’s needs haven't been met

They will finder it harder to relax

Have they been to the toilet, eaten their meals, had some playtime and bonding time with you

If their needs have all been met, try the below

⭐️ Do some training!

Teaching your puppy something new will tire their brain out.

When your dog knows a trick, ie roll over its easy for them to do and not much thinking.

When you first teach it, they have to do a lot more thinking = sleepy puppy

Think of it as when you go to a new course and you don't know the topic

You will come home tired, as you've been learning something new

But if you went to a course you have done before and a lot of it was repeated

You wouldn't be as tired

So teach your dog something new to help tire their brain out

⭐️Provide them a chew - yes I mean dead animal parts there is no sugar coating this!

Chewing naturally relaxes a puppy and releases endorphins in their brains

Which makes them feel good

And will make them sleepy…

Here is Bracken below, I had to share his pics of a before and after a training session with me

Bright alert and biting feet

After a training session with me, learning some new behaviours

I received this picture off him crashed out

And we all want sleepy puppies!

Imagine this…

⭐️ You head out for a walk with your dog and they walk calmly by your side on the lead.

⭐️ When another owner and dog walks by on the other side of the road, your dog keeps their focus on you and calmly walks by in the opposite direction. No reaction, no barking, no lunging.

⭐️ You're on a walk with your dog and another dog appears in the distance and they come back when called.

⭐️ You are able to take your dog to the pub and they relax and chill out whilst you eat your meal.

Now, how does that sound?

If you’re ready for 👆 to become your reality, we’re here to help.

😍 We can't get over this review from the lovely Becky & Pete and Pluto! 😍

"Carrie has been brilliant for our Dalmatian. We weren't able to get him to standard training due to vaccines, but she was able to rescue us brilliantly. She made it super easy and was totally bespoke to our needs and breed. The whatsapp group was Incredible for asking questions between sessions."

We're so proud of everything you've both achieved and can't wait to see you take this to a whole other level in the coming months.

We have 2 spots left this month if you'd like to experience similar results with your own dog! 🙌

😮 Everything changed when I learned this... 😮

Before I became a dog trainer, I used to think to get a dog to respond to you, you needed to be firm. You needed to show them who's boss. I was even told this by a dog trainer I had hired for Tye 🙄

It was an honest mistake to make. And there are still many people that think this way.

I've always loved animals, but I didn't know any better until I started training myself.

There have been countless studies and research into the way dog's learn. And being a dominant leader has been well and truly debunked over the years! 💥

It's why I only advocate and teach reward based training methods today, and will continue to educate others on the right way to train our dogs.

Because they deserve to be treated with absolute kindness and understanding. Our dogs become what we imprint on them. 💖

So if you're new to reward based training or don't know what it is, I encourage you to spend a little time Googling on it. Or head over to my blog here: https://www.carriescanines.co.uk/blog-carries-canines/

There's a boat load of information out there!

And if you're ready to get support from a reward based trainer that has you and your dog's best interests at heart, I'm open for that.

There's a common challenge I see my clients face time and again.

🙈 Loose lead walking 🙈

When my clients first come to me, walking their dog is a chore. They dread being dragged around the neighbourhood and feel embarrassed when other people see them.

But I don't want that for you.

So if this is your reality too, don't fret. There are simple steps you can take to introduce more calmness into your daily walks.

Let's break that down for you today.

🐾 Build value at home for hanging out at your side, practise puppy push ups with doing a sit, down and stand at your side (video in comments)
🐾 Find out what your dog will work hard for, what is their treat they see as super high value - my guys all love the J R Pate treats
🐾 Start in your garden, if you cant get your dog to hang out at your side at home, you have no chance on a walks
🐾 Don’t try to start straight away do the walk you normally do, your dog has practised this walk of pulling the whole way.
🐾 Reward each step to start and engage with your dog as you do it and then build up the steps before they get a treat

By following these simple steps you can have your dog walking calmly by your side in no time.

But if you know you'd benefit from more professional guidance, reach out to us.

Send us a DM and we can chat about your options on how we can best help you. 💕

🤔 Customer: How is Separation Anxiety Programme different to ALL the other dog training programmes out there? 🤔

Me: Great question, let me tell you!

The thing that really sets us apart is the high-touch, DAILY support you get. 💖

You won't get this kind of commitment to showing up every day from a dog trainer elsewhere.

If you have a question, all you need to do is ask in the private Facebook community, and you'll get a detailed response to your dog training problems in a snap.

And that's why I'm beyond thrilled to invite you to try it out for yourself.

I’ve been in your shoes.

😞 I’ve been on walks and had arguments with my family because my dog were out of control.

😢 I’ve broken down in tears at the thought of taking my dog out for a walk because the stress was just too much.

😕 I’ve had to apologise to so many people because my dog barked and lunged at them.

Before I became a dog behaviourist 8 years ago, this was my reality.

And I want you to know, it doesn’t have to be this way.

So let’s get you on the right track and enjoying calm and relaxed walks with your best friend. 💕

We’re always here to chat about how we can help you. If you’re ready, send us a DM and we can talk it through.

💖 This weekend I am taking Envy to do a night hike to raise money for Mountain Rescue 💖

As it is a night hike, I am only taking her as she will need to stay on lead for safety and it will also be busy as we are lighting up the mountains on a group hike!

I also need to be able to keep myself safe with my footing! 🐶

🥰 Today, we'd love to hear more about your precious pups and create a community where we can share our doggie adventures! 🐕 So, here's a question for you: What's your dog's all-time favorite activity? Whether it's a game of fetch, belly rubs, or their special treat dance, we want to know! Share your furry friend's top pic in the comments below. 📷🐾 Here’s Maisie to kick things off!she loves to go swimming and playing in water and with a ball is an extra bonus!

🙄 You know when you let your dog off the lead and they refuse to be put back on the lead when it's time to go home? 🙄 I have a great tip for that. Always carry your tastiest treats with you. At least during the early stages of training, your dog is far more likely to come back to you when they know there's something in it for them! As our dogs get through the puppy stage, owners tend to cut back or stop using treats. Treats are just food, its just part of their daily food 👩‍🍳 Try it and see the difference it makes! Our customers have had great success with this one simple change. 🙌 Want to learn more about how we can help you? Send us a DM and we'll get straight back to you. 💕

🤩 Willow did so well this week while we were teaching a loose lead walk and recall, and Willow was to ignore other dogs unless told she can can say hi 🤩 Faith, Aaron and Willow have been working with me for a while, since Willow came to live with them and when their walks were more stressful than they needed to be. They couldn’t enjoy walks together because Willow was over excited about being out on a walk. But look at them now! Willow’s eyes are on Faith whist she is off lead and checking in and coming back when called. I’m so proud of how far they’ve come. I can’t tell you how fulfilling it is when we see how our customers lives are transformed with our help. 💕 So if your dog walks aren’t quite the dreamy stroll you imagined right now, I can help.
