Rivers Desensitisation clinics @esmithvet have really paid off.
This was the first time since her 6month check up (she’s now 2yrs 4mths) that a vet has been able to get near her to do a full check -
Ears, eyes and temperature!!
Couldn’t be prouder of her 🫶 thank you @esmithvet for having these clinics available, taking your time with her and really helping to build a relationship with her.
If you are struggling with your vets visits - speak to them to see if heheh offer these clinics.
This visit was a paid consultation with the vet - but I want what’s best for her. I went in with the mindset that even if nothing happened other then coming out with a full belly then so be it, but I read the situation and was able able to take things further.
It’s important that your vet understands what you and your dog is going through, important that they listen. Find a vet that wants to work with you not against you.
Train for what you don’t need so when the time comes that you might need it.
Trust the process - don’t rush the process!!

Spicys Nail journey hasn’t been an easy one!
When he first came to us August 2022 (last year) his nails were so long that they were obviously causing him alot pain.
We noticed that when he walked he also had a curl in his back. There was no choice but to cut them down….. and the experience wasn’t pleasant for anyone including him. To say he HATED the nail clippers was an understatement.
As soon as they were cut though he was already walking better and the arch in his back had gone.
After that we were able to start muzzle conditioning and able to take out time.
As soon as he was happy with the muzzle we were able to start desensitisation with the dremal and we slowly built it up to being able to do all his nails with the muzzle on.
Now today (8 months later) he can have his nails done, muzzle free and he even offers his paw. #trusttheprocess #dontrushtheprocess #consistencyiskey #spicymouse #family #rescuedog #adopt #goodboy #dogtrainer #progress #love #glowup #before #during #after #beforeandafter

Tory HYPOCRISY can we trust our government!
.
Read to the bottom for your call to action!
.
❗️The Secretary of State for DEFRA @theresecoffey has been pushing this ban through, all whilst receiving, buying and using an Ecollar on her own dog!
.
❗️Ecollar technology containment fences to keep your children’s sandpit or flower beds un damaged are LEGAL, however, to use one to prevent and train dogs reliable recall and protect wildlife and livestock would be ILLEGAL!
.
❗️Tories do not care about their rural constituents that live in and amongst wildlife, they couldn’t care less about the nearly 3000 reported deaths of sheep by dogs in the UK - the ecollar is the only PROVEN method of livestock aversion! A lead is not enough!
.
❗️Not one single case of animal abuse has been brought from using an Ecollar and the studies and consultation was flawed, inaccurate and bias. The conclusions didn’t relate to the evidence brought or the data in the consultation.
.
❗️Tory hypocrisy caring so much about animal welfare yet exempt military k9’s from these apparent “cruel” devices.
.
❗️don’t be fooled they don’t care about animals, lifting a ban on animal testing FOR COSMETICS but no one heard about that for a good while did they.
.
I’ve lost all faith in @rishisunakmp and @10downingstreet - this @conservatives government doesn’t care about animal welfare enough to study the usage, benefits and data correctly enough to base these laws on TRUTH! Tory Hypocrisy at its finest!

Co Co 😍
This was my last session with this beautiful girl.
Her owners contacted me because of her reactivity. They started sessions with me in January this year and the progress they have made in 3 months has been a testament to the work they have put in.
Mang people believe that when it come to reactivity it’s just about working with the dog around the things that trigger and correcting them but it’s so much more.
It’s about teaching calmness, settling, working on impulse control, implementing some rules and boundaries, building a relationship between you and dog.
Our first session was in their home where we re-introduced the crate as Co Co wouldn’t settle and she would bark at sounds & dogs through the window so she was constantly over threshold and stacked.
We also started work on her loose leash walk using a slip leash and working on engagement and teaching her leash pressure.
Before this they had worked with another trainer who immediately put a prong on her without teaching leash pressure first - the prong also wasn’t fitted correctly.
Tools can be fantastic when used correctly and taught properly. It’s not just about putting a tool on your dog and correcting them.
During this session Co Co did have a reaction to some dogs that were in the distance but her owners were able to get her engaged quickly and she was able to settle much much quicker. before she would have been stacked the whole time, no engagement, constantly over threshold and on the look out for dogs.
Their journey isn’t over and they still have a way to go but they have made a great start and with consistency I know that they will get there. I couldn’t be prouder 🤗

A different way to feed
I love to hand feed and also work on calm around food but here is another option 😍
#bonappetit
Ancol bone broth, natural treats and landywoods raw food & frozen sardines from @willowtreek9_and_nutrition
Use code DOGPERFECT10 for a saving on treats and supplements
Working on some cooperative play and out command with spicy
(With Riv being a fomo in the background 🫣)
@gmb today had a discussion about the latest dog attack on a 4 year.
Some fantastic points made by Debbie Connolly
Let’s discuss

Butter wouldn’t melt?
This little angel 😇 has a resource guarding problem with high value treats.
So we’ve been working over on that over the last 4 days and I’ve got a few scares to show for it 🤣
But today she’s done so well!!

To Muzzle or not to Muzzle?
Maybe your dog doesn’t need a muzzle but you never know if you ever will.
I’m training River to get used to the muzzle just in case.
Anything could happen!!
That’s the point in training & desensitisation - you never know when you will need to do something.
This was a 5 min training session, I have the luxury of not needing a muzzle so it means I can take the time and introduce it slowly and in the best possible way.
In this session I have broken the video down, each step was repeated over and over.
After this session I still wouldn’t just put it in her and expect her to be happy in it!! I will repeat repeat reapeat.

Every dog should be muzzle trained regardless of being tactile or Aggresive. You never know when you will need to use it .
