A little about Sterling.
Even though he is my parent’s dog and we only saw each other a few times a year when I was back in the UK, we have always had a great bond.
Now that I have moved permanently back to the UK I can make the most of enjoying what time he has left with us ❤️

Small dogs should be given the same respect as big dogs.

Small dogs can lose agency very quickly. Despite asking for space they are often ignored or even laughed at. It's no wonder they get defensive and worried by people. Does your small dog struggle in the world? We can help with that, drop us a line in the comments.

Some reviews from my Google Business page from when I was working in France. (Translated to English).
Unfortunately I can’t change the country of my Google Business page, so I am creating a new one.

❌ Stop au Puppy Yoga !

L'Italie a montré la voie en interdisant les cours de "Puppy Yoga", et la France devrait suivre son exemple !

Ces cours, qui consistent à faire du yoga en présence de chiots, sont censés être relaxants et bénéfiques pour les participants. Mais derrière cette image idyllique se cache une autre réalité : le stress et la maltraitance des animaux.

🐶 Les chiots ne sont pas des peluches ! Ils sont des êtres vivants, sensibles, qui ont besoin de calme et de tranquillité pour se développer correctement. Être entourés d'une foule de personnes, être manipulés sans cesse et soumis aux bruits et mouvements du yoga peut leur causer un stress important.

De plus, ces cours encouragent souvent l'adoption impulsive de chiots. Les gens, attendris par la situation, peuvent prendre une décision hâtive sans se rendre compte des responsabilités que cela implique.

👉 La FBB s'oppose fermement à toute pratique qui met en danger le bien-être des animaux. Nous demandons aux autorités françaises d'interdire le Puppy Yoga et de sensibiliser le public aux besoins des animaux avant d'en faire des accessoires de mode.

An assumption is a belief or statement accepted as true without proof or evidence. It's an idea that is taken for granted and presumed to be correct based on perceived common sense, past experiences, or general consensus, even though it may not have been verified or tested. Assumptions can influence understanding and decision-making processes in various contexts.

Let's make educated assessments as dog professionals, not assumptions.

Sniffing is not just a simple act; it's a profound way for dogs to gather information, communicate, and even experience joy.

Restricting this natural behaviour can hinder their cognitive and emotional development, potentially leading to stress or behavioural issues.

Moreover, it respects their autonomy and acknowledges their unique sensory perspective.

Ethically, permitting dogs the freedom to explore their environment through sniffing is akin to allowing them a voice and understanding in their world.

Love this

Dogs and children share several similarities in how they learn and develop. Their growth into confident individuals largely depends on the learning environment and the methods employed, which is where kindness plays an essential role.

Learning Through Play: Both dogs and children learn a great deal through play. It's during play that they explore their surroundings, learn social cues, and understand boundaries. Play also stimulates their curiosity and encourages problem-solving.

Social Learning: Both children and dogs observe and learn from others' actions in their social group. A child might mimic their parents' behaviours, while a dog might copy what an older dog does. This observational learning shapes their understanding of acceptable behaviours.

Reward-Based Learning: This is a key element in the learning process for both dogs and children. They are more likely to repeat a behaviour if it leads to a positive outcome. For instance, a child will clean up their toys if they receive praise, and a dog will learn a new response if rewarded repeatedly for it.

Consistency and Routine: Children and dogs thrive on routine and consistency. It gives them a sense of security, helps them understand what's expected, and makes the learning process easier.

So, how does kindness tie into all this?

Well, learning is a gradual process. It involves making mistakes and learning from them. When children or dogs are treated with kindness and understanding during this process, it promotes trust and a sense of safety. This nurturing environment fosters their confidence, encourages them to try new things, and promotes overall emotional wellbeing.

In contrast, a harsh or punitive environment may create fear or anxiety, hampering their ability to learn effectively and grow into confident individuals. Remember, patience, understanding, and kindness are the pillars of effective learning and the foundation for nurturing a confident, well-adjusted child or dog.
