We've got the lovely Elly staying with us for 3 weeks. Elly is a customer from my west end business who got to meet my lovely new clients. It's fair to say she had a great time 🤣🥰🐾

This week, we had the sweetest boy joining our pack. The big cuddly Pablo, the bulldog, came to meet us all, starting with Layla and then introducing him to the rest slowly. They all loved him, and who couldn't?! He's going to make a great addition to our pack. Welcome! 🐾💙

Last Thursday was Cody's second walk in our small pack and she did really well. Far more engagement with me and positive signs of a relationship building 🐾😊💙

This week we all went to the Cathkin Braes for the first time and it was great fun!

I've been working on relationship building and trust with Alfie and he got some long lead & off lead time for the first time ever! We'll continue to work on it with him in a safe manner. All in all, a great day out 😊

Last week was our first walk with the lovely Cody 😍 Cody is a special pup in that she is an assistance dog and requires a little extra training and care.

She was introduced on a small walk with only 2 dogs to gauge how she would find the experience, as she is only 9 months old. It went very well and she was accepted into the pack 😊🐾

Today's walk 💙🐾

16/02/2024

I've been walking Archie and Alfie for a few weeks now and was advised by their owners that Archie can be allowed off lead.

As with all dogs I walk off lead, I wait until we've built a bond and I can trust they'll come back to me. This starts with rewarding them for checking in with me and rewarding when they respond to me calling their name, whilst still on lead. Once off lead, I choose somewhere low risk to let them off, I positively reward for following the pack and coming when called. So this week Archie for his first off lead walk and he was loving it 🥰🐾

Safety always come first ✅️

I know some people that have truly social dogs can struggle with this concept as they have no issues with this, and some people judge others by the sociability of their dog.
"They just weren't socialised enough as puppies"
"They need to be more obedient"
"They just need to play more"
"They need to be more dominant when playing"
"They need to just submit"
No, no...and no again.
Just like us, dogs have social preferences and some are very strong.
You may have noticed this with a dog that only likes to play with their own breed, or much smaller dogs. Some dogs are drawn to very specific types of dogs or seek out dogs with a particular physical trait.
Some will just refuse to be social with a particular breed as they may struggle to read that particular breeds body language, and they may even act "aggressively" to that breed when that dog attempts an interaction.
Another thing I would like to point out is.... there is a bit of a myth out there that reactive dogs only belong in the "not social" category. Some reactive dogs can be really social with others, but they could be leash reactive even to dog breeds or types they may enjoy interacting with off lead.
Just because a dog is reactive does NOT automatically mean they dislike all other dogs.
Even reactive dogs have (and are allowed) to have their own unique preferences.

Not all dogs enjoy hugs, for some it is incredibly intimidating. Learn your dogs body language cues to avoid miscommunication and potential negative consequences.

*not my original content*

I don't like saying this to people when I see it.
For some its a revelation, a lightbulb moment and for others I feel like the bearer of the worst news in the world.
Many dogs do not enjoy hugs.😔
Some do, many do not. Some may tolerate them and some dogs really dislike them
Worse still is when a dog is giving clear signals they are really uncomfortable....and the person knows this, the dog is told "don't be silly" and is pulled even closer or hugged harder.
The "kisses" given by their dogs are "proof" they like hugs.
Unfortunately, those kisses given are not a sign of affection....at all.

In saying all that..... some dogs do enjoy hugs and will use their tongue to show affection. If you have any doubt, look at older videos and watch for all the tell tale signs in their posture.

They will show us if they want to be hugged or not...we just have to listen.
