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.

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. 🐾

The next Separation anxiety video is now live, link in the comments for Dog Club members.

During this series, we'll cover:
- Earliest signs of separation anxiety
- More extreme signs
- What it might look like when you ARE at home
- ✨️ A hugely important part of training that is missing from almost all SA info you'll read online
- How to ease it from start to finish

Separation anxiety can be extreme, so please don't hesitate to contact me for 1-1 work if needed - the course is perfect for prevention, dealing wit low level SA and improving moderate levels, but your dog is nuanced and unique.

I hope you enjoy the course and learn lots! 🐾

Looking up to our wonderful clinical and veterinary behaviourists tells me everything I need to know about the work I do and the trust in my methods - these are methods that work for a lifetime 🐾

Want a neat trick? Here's how to spot how a recall was trained:

✨️ Positive Reinforcement Recall will look like ✨️
● A face of sheer joy 😄
● Straight line gait - confident and forward motion
● Soft body
● Consistent from start to finish - happy, soft, smooth run

💥 Aversively trained Recall will look like 💥
● Head dip after hearing the recall sound
● Slight twitch or shake if used an ecollar
● Abnormal gait - dips to one side initially perhaps, skips or missteps
● Tight mouth or squinted eyes

I saw a video a few days ago of an impeccable recall, which I agree is super important.

However, on hearing the word "come" the dog missed a step, twitched slightly, squinted her eyes and dropped her hips to one side before returning for her treat.

There was no ecollar on the dog, but when I checked, it was how the owner said she trained her.

With the collar no longer on the dog, she still flinched like it was there 😣

The evidence of these methods sticks around long after the method itself. The misstep, the twitch, the gait change.

How many recalls can you spot on social media that look the part, until you REALLY watch? 🕵🏼‍♀️

I know you're going to want to react - I feel the same. Let me give you a step by step of what to do when you see horrible dog "training" videos on social media:

1️⃣ Stop watching - they don't deserve your engagement and views
2️⃣ Go to the profile of a Behaviourist or Trainer who you know and love, and engage with their content instead
3️⃣ Report the horrible video if necessary as violence and animal abuse

Help me get the word out - let's stop engaging with bullies!

Sittingbourne clients please be careful in this area

Let's compare!!!

If you've seen my previous videos of calm, settled Kuki when I get home, here's a comparison where he is less settled. This video shows some of the signs I'm looking out for 👀

🚩 Waiting at the door (I could see him through the glass which is why I started filming)
🚩 Jump up and lip lick
🚩 Stress release yawn
🚩 Paw up

These signals tell me Kuki was a bit worried while I was gone. If he was doing this every time, I'd be actively working on separation anxiety prevention using my Dog Club process, so they don't escalate. 💪

As these occasions are few and far between for Kuki, I'm not too worried yet but will keep it in mind and make some mental notes:

📝 I noticed the postie had been while I was out, so that would have worried him.

📝 We were gone about 3 hours, which is a tiny bit more than normal for us, so that could be related.

📝 He had his morning walk earlier than normal, so that could have affected him.

Take a look back at my previous video and compare these behavioural responses. Which one is more like your dog?

Super excited 🥳 because we are seeing real-life examples of Kuki experiencing the (*swipe*) second reactivity pathway 🙌

At dog-club.co.uk you can find my Behaviour & Reactivity course to help you go from:

‼️ TRIGGER
🗣 REACTION
😨 PANIC

To:

❗️Trigger
🫡 "We've got this"
😌 Recovery

We spent yesterday in Padstow - super busy, lots of dogs, lots of people, and EVERYONE wanted to say hello to Kuki.

Our process:

👣 LOOK ahead to make sure we can see a clear(ish) pathway
🚧 SAY "thank you, but we are training" and block interactions we don't feel comfortable with
💡 ACTIVATE Kuki's "thinking" brain with a simple trick like a hand touch
🌳 RECOVER with a little nature sniffy time

We saw the evidence of this process and all the training we've done and support we've put in, when we had a multitude of triggers all at once and Kuki walked through this entire chaotic situation like it was nothing.

No panic, no shouting - and he lay down to watch the seagulls while we had tea and cake.

The Dog Club is about helping your dog FEEL better. Not "be" better - we aren't about good dogs. We are about HAPPY dogs. Because happy dogs are great dogs. 🐶

Kuki met a dog from Ukraine who had either escaped or had been let go by his family when the war started. He was about one year old and somehow found his way to the border.

He was adopted by a lovely older man and lady from Kent and they are in the distance in this video.

I wish the people who lost him could see him now, playing with Kuki on the beach. How lucky he is 💕🌊

I wish dog guardians could know that a behavioural specialist can help you get as close to this as possible!!

A behavioural specialist can help you learn what your dog wishes they could tell you, and can help you tell your dog the things you always wished you could. 🫶

✨️ If you could have a translator for your dog, what do you think they would say?

✨️ What would you want to say to your dog?

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?
