Raising My Rescue - Canine Behaviourist

I'm Molly and I've been raising my rescue dog, Kuki, for a couple of years. I've set up this page to help others learn with me while I study for my diploma.

Specialising in European Rescue Dogs 🐾

1-1 Sessions available in person (Kent) or Online (UK)

Join the Dog Club to learn more about your dog's behaviour 🐕

Message me now for support 😊 He's an ex-street dog from Bosnia and came to me with a handful of quirks, worries and opinions! I've been learning all about him through his guidance and the guidance of m

y Level 4 Advanced Canine Behaviour Course with the British College of Canine Studies. This is based on what I've learned personally, and always consider that your situation may vary. Dogs are incredibly nuanced with big personalities, and they're all as individual as we are. 🐾

I often get asked how many dog behavioural sessions are needed. While it's not possible to know for sure, as every situation, person and dog is different, I think it's helpful to have a rough idea what to expect.

You might be used to puppy classes or similar, where you would train once a week for maybe 6 weeks.

Behavioural sessions are quite different to this.

Firstly, they are 1-1, so the entire 60-90 mins is dedicated to you and your dog 🐕

This makes them much more packed with information that is unique to you, so you'll be taking on much more learning.

Usually, this means you won't need as many sessions as you would expect from a training class and they'll be more spaced out.

Behavioural sessions aren't cheap, but did you know just ONE session can make a huge difference? If that's all you are able to do (affordability, time, other commitments etc) then it's still well worth it! 💪

Recently, some lovely clients came to me needing support for a newly adopted dog. We tapped straight into breed instincts to maximise the reinforcement of our chosen method, and the result after one session was being able to walk happily past 5 dogs in one walk with no reaction! 🙌

"Molly came to our house for our first session and came for a walk with us to see our dog’s reactivity issues first hand. She taught us a really easy method to help reactivity towards dogs, humans, bikes, cars etc.

It has only taken 4 weeks and our dog has made so much progress. It is such a relief to find a behavioural trainer like Molly and we have no doubt more sessions will be invaluable."

Of course, more sessions are always ideal, but don't be put off at the thought you won't get anywhere if you can only afford one session - trust me, you will still learn SO much!

And if affordability or commitment is going to make things tricky for you, just let me know up front so I can tailor the session with this in mind.

Lastly, I never charge more for support between sessions. While of course I can't be available 24/7 and bigger questions will need more dedicated support, I believe general support, method review and quick question support should always come as standard. ✅️

Kuki had a great time with his cousins ⚡️

I always recommend clients find good dog friends where possible - sometimes that looks like a LOT of fun (Bowie & Kuki have had many bonkers garden play times!)

Or sometimes it can look like each dog having a really nice understanding of who needs what - play, space, calm time.

I am lucky enough to have cousins that are knowledgeable and experienced with dogs, and are attentive to all the dogs' needs.

This makes the WORLD of difference when meeting up - you can trust in the dogs and their people to all have a nice time!

Bowie has a really excitable play style but is impeccably trained so can pause if asked, which is amazing for Kuki who loves to play but sometimes needs a break. Rebel has a really beautiful way with other dogs and helps them feel safe.

Good dog friends (or family!) can build you and your dog's confidence SO much.

I love it when Dog Club members hang out together too - they all have the benefit of knowing each other cares about good choices for their dog, and that adds such a wonderful layer of support when walking together ❤️💪

Getting ready for Christmas at the cottage - a small house means we have a "Christmas Canopy" rather than a tree, and that Kuki has to be involved in absolutely all gift wrapping 😆

Adorable Christmas card is from 🎄🥰🐾

What can you expect from a Behavioural Session?

A behavioural session is different to a training session - it takes about 4 hours in total (although I'm not with you for all of those).

📝 Firstly, I pre-assess your dog through an in-depth questionnaire you complete. Then, during our session I have already built a picture of your dog's personality and lifestyle.

📷 You'll also be able to send me videos you feel may be relevant

🏡 If you choose to see me in-person, I'll visit you at home usually, but sometimes an online session may be better for any number of reasons

🕑 Either way, I'll be with you for about 1-1.5 hours

🗣 First, we'll sit down and have a chat about the main areas of priority and I'll ask any questions I need to

🚶‍♀️ If relevant, we may go for a walk

👀 I'll observe your dog very closely, either at home or on a walk (or via videos if online)

🐕 I'll be looking at the way they interact with the world, their body language, the way they walk and I'll be understanding how they feel about everything - this is the Dr Doolittle moment!

🙌 When I feel comfortable to begin formulating a plan, we can practice there and then

📖 Once I go home, I'll write a report with my findings and your homework - usually you'll only need to do take about 5 mins extra out of your day, but this also depends how much time you have. We can do more - or less - if needed

🗓 I usually see you again in about a month, and you can contact me any time before then with queries - support is there when you need it

Just having a chat with another local behavioural specialist about why dogs pull and it's so interesting once you disect it.

Pulling is an awesome behaviour to understand. Dogs don't just pull for a laugh, there is always a reason! And finding out that root cause is often the key part about being a Behaviourist.

Many trainers may teach you positive reinforcement or punishment methods that teach your dog where you want them to walk.

Part of what I do is find out WHY your dog is pulling and ease that, which in turn eases the walking without you having to train much at all.

If you're constantly treating or lead tugging to keep your dog in place, something may be off.

An engaged, happy, comfortable dog who has all their breed needs met will generally walk on a loose lead.

If my dog pulls I don't "correct" it, I ask - why?

Do you know someone who feels like this about their dog? 🫶

An online membership to the Raising My Rescue Dog Club could be an amazing gift idea for them this Christmas!

Gift as much or as little as you like - you're in control. Just message me to let me know who it's for 🐾

I want to know - why do 21,000 people go to an 'Anxious Dog Support Group' on Facebook rather than seeking professional advice?

I think this speaks volumes about how guardians feel about professionals, I think it highlights the minefield we live in, where so many can do more harm than good.

It makes me nervous for our dogs - seeing the misguided, incorrect and damaging advice given by strangers over the Internet who know nothing about your dog.

Please please please, if you find yourself turning to a Facebook Group without professional support, seek out someone who can truly help you and your dog 🙏🐾

And if you are someone who feels safer asking for help from strangers online, what is it about professional support that is overwhelming? How can the dog behaviourist and trainer industry serve you better?
