A client asked me what the mural on our training wall meant. I replied with a list of words which I'd intended it to depict.
Communication, understanding, empathy, co-operation.
What words do you think of when you see it?

MYTH: "Don’t take your puppy anywhere until they're fully vaccinated."

FACT: "The primary and most important time for puppy socialization is the first three months of life. For this reason, the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior believes that it should be the *standard of care* for puppies to receive such socialization before they are fully vaccinated. Behavioral issues, not infectious diseases, are the number one cause of death for dogs under three years of age." (AVSAB Position Statement on Puppy Socialization)

FACT: If you wait until your puppy is full vaccinated, you've missed their critical socialization period.

Vets, rescues and breeders who are clinging to the outdated belief that dogs should be prevented from socialization until fully vaccinated are not keeping up with the current research, literature and recommendations from behavior professionals.

Short clips of recall class at Little Tykes Dog Hub

Consequences are important, but contingencies are more so. Consequences don't have to make the dog feel bad, they just need to make doing any unwanted behaviour less effective at gaining the result the dog wants, and the alternative behaviour which is taught and preferred by you more likely to gain the thing the dog wants. *** If it works to get the dog what they want then it will be repeated. *** The more often it works the more likely it is to become habit. This is true of both "good" and "bad" behaviours. In speech marks because dogs do not have the capacity to understand human morality. It is our responsibility as dog owners to prevent behaviours which will cause problems in the future and encourage and reinforce behaviours which will make it easier and safer to live in our society, without compromising their right to be a dog.

Twiggy is back at work! 10 days after major abdominal surgery. Her histology results are good, and she can continue her life without worrying. It was a full day and although she only did the easy demo's, she's shattered.

When you're teaching class with a sore back. Don't think I did too badly :-)

I Love Co Operative Care

Twiggy having her belly shaved ready for her ultrasound scan.

Twiggy isn't well. She hasn't been right for several months with intermittent episodes of inappetance and vomiting. This came to a head several weeks ago with what appeared to be a gastric bug, the boys had it at the same time but only for 24 hours, but she didn't get better, vomiting and diarrhoea daily, being more reluctant to eat and loosing weight. Investigation by ultrasound scan showed that her stomach wasn't emptying properly, and the incidental finding of a mass on her spleen was added to my anxiety bucket. She appeared to improve with meds and a special diet, here in a recent video she demonstrates feeling very much herself. Today I was excited to see that she'd gained back 2kg of the 4 she had lost. But tonight she has refused her tea, she's vomited and her guts are very noisy. She is booked in for a review scan of her spleen next week with a view to surgery (splenectomy) if the mass is growing. I haven't really told anyone how worried I am, I guess in my mind other people knowing makes it real, and I don't cope well with sympathy, reassurances are welcome. She's only 10 years old, and it's probably nothing ... right?

Shortcuts

Why we decided to risk everything...

Julie says: I have always lived with dogs, I can honestly say they have been my best friends, but one dog in particular caused me to change the direction of my life. Tyke was my problem dog who taught me so much and forced me to learn more. Because of him many who followed him had a better life with me, and many clients and their dogs have benefited. In dedication to this he has given his name to our new business.

After almost 30 years (yes I’m nearly 50 don’t tell anyone) of working as a Veterinary Nurse at the highest levels and gaining higher qualification why would I choose to walk away from it all and start my own business, I’m crazy right? The thing is I have wanted to do this for over 20 years, but I’ve always managed to find excuses not to do it, I didn’t have enough money, I wouldn’t be good enough, no one would come. But things have happened in my life recently to remind me that you only live once and sometimes not as long as you thought. Yes it’s a huge risk, but I’ll be doing something that I love, and still helping animals and their owners, just in a different way. I love behaviour and training and qualified with a Diploma in Companion Animal Behaviour and Training almost 15 years ago, but knowledge moves on rapidly, things I used to teach even 5 years ago are outdated now, which I why I am also studying for my Masters in Clinical Animal Behaviour. I want to understand why some methods are better than others, and I want to use that knowledge to bring owners and their dogs closer together. I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience true, honest, faithful love in their lives. The love of a dog.

Dawn says: After almost 25 years of working as a Registered Veterinary Nurse dedicating my life to looking after poorly animals, supporting people in some very difficult circumstances and managing a busy small animal practice, I was also heavily involved in the training of Student Veterinary Nurses, many of whom have their own careers as Qualified Veterinary Nurses and are doing very well in training others in the industry. I have been lucky to have always worked with animals and dogs have been at the forefront of keeping me sane throughout the stresses and strains of life. Many years ago I was given a very angry rescue dog which led me into the realm of studying dog behaviour and between training students I took time to complete the Think Dog course, The Puppy Instructor course and lots of webinars and seminars in this field. I am and always will be grateful to Dee, Fred, Soul, Eric and currently, Zebediah

whom have travelled with me on this journey and taught me so much over the years. After seeing and talking to many owners struggling with different aspects of their dogs behaviour throughout, I felt it was a great opportunity and important for people to have a safe space where they and their dog can build a stronger relationship and have an outlet for those behaviours which can make life as a family difficult.
