A big beautiful girl here! We have worked on settling at home, engagement on walks, recall, and.... stopping her from chasing the cat (the last one is very much still a work in progress!)
If your dog is not coping when left alone, there is a high chance that they are suffering from Separation Anxiety. We often only take note of the unwanted associated behaviours such as barking, howling or whining, or destruction of the dog's environment as we are concerned about complaints from neighbours or having to replace furniture. However, we really must take into account the dog's emotions. Your dog does not want to upset you and they are not punishing you for leaving them alone by ripping up your cushions. If your dog is displaying any separation related behaviors, these are coping behaviors...a way to manage their anxiety levels or an attempt to lessen thr distance between you (scratching at the door for example).
If you think your dog is suffering from Separation Anxiety, please get in touch. Using desensitisation and lowering your dog's overall anxiety levels, we can help your dog learn that being alone is not so scary.

I'm excited to be starting puppy classes in Feb 2025!
Classes will run for 5 weeks and you will learn lots of useful skills and guidance advice.
Classes will be held at the fabulous @pawzandcoglasgow in Houston, Renfrewshire.
If you or your pup need some help with training, please drop me a message to find out more. 🐾🐾
Puppy training! This is definitely a perk of the job. Setting you and your pup up for success is the priority. You will learn how to communicate effectively, understand your pup's body language, manage unwanted behaviours in a kind manner, introduce new skills, socialise appropriately, as well as working on important skills including settle, name recognition, recall, alone time, lead skills and much more. I will be running puppy classes in the new year so watch this space!!
Puppy training!! Or...puppy guardian training would be more accurate 😅
How cute is this little one learning TOUCH?
I am lucky enough to have this little one as a neighbour so I am looking forward to supporting her and her family with their training. 💕
I absolutely love doing 1-2-1 sessions with new pups!
I don't just focus on teaching skills, I help you understand your dog's behaviours, body language, how to manage unwanted behaviours, how to communicate effectively and so much more.
If you are getting a pup soon, book in now! It's never too early!!

I have been lucky enough to join the amazing team at Blue Box Dog Training at some of their puppy classes. I highly recommend them if you are in Milton of Campsie or surrounding area. Great fun, great skills, great trainers 🥰
How cute is the wee one in the pic?!
What a team!! This wee one was adopted by a wonderful family who are absolutely committed to helping him but they described him as raging, terrified, anti-social, anxious and nippy.
This was our first session and, after chatting and observing him, we changed a few things We joined two leads together to make a longer one (@willowwonky style!), worked on handling skills, communication, body language, stress, etc...we covered a lot!
Mum was naturally quite anxious when in the park so I took hold of the lead to ensure it stayed loose, giving the wee one plenty of choice over his movements.
I let him move closer at one point as he wanted to have a sniff of the other dog's scent in the grass. Mum was busy giving lots of verbal reassurance and providing him with a sniffing game which he loved!
Aww, I am really going to miss this team! They have moved to much sunnier climes ☀️ ⛱️ and I wish them an amazing new life!!
We have been working with a number of behaviours from calm greetings, loose lead walking and recall, and everything else that goes into those skills.
This was our 3rd session and, owing to the hard work they all put in, they smashed it!! Being able to remain calm around squirrels is not easy for a sighthound but he did it!! 💪
A very honest owner who admitted to using harsh training methods (they didn't know another way) when this wee one was a pup. This led to guarding behaviours, aggression towards humans (biting), lack of trust, and reactivity towards other dogs.
I threw a lot at this family - everything from understanding canine body language, normal canine behaviour, meeting his needs, using positive reinforcement and recognising the fall out from using punishment, building trust, swapping to a longer lead, improving communication skills, and working on reactivity.
I am back out to see him again soon but the family are very happy with his progress so far 🥰 It is not easy changing your own habits or admitting that you got it wrong. A good trainer will NEVER make you feel bad or judge you. We are here to support you, guide you through your training, and build the bond between you and your dog.
