A dog trainers job is to teach you how to make less mistakes around your dogs state of mind during environmental pressure. Whether that be in the home or out of the home.

Because... we all have a perfect dog when there's nothing around, right? 😉

Self-control is crucial for a balanced, well behaved dog. Dogs lacking self control can often become overexcited, reactive, nervous, or anxious. These states push a dog out of a neutral mindset, making it difficult for them to make good decisions and respond calmly to their environment.

Imagine a dog that pulls on the lead at every sight of a squirrel or barks at passing strangers. These are examples of reactive behaviour, often due to heightened excitement or nerves, rather than a calm, collected response. When dogs don’t have self control, they’re more likely to act impulsively, which can be stressful for both the dog and the owner. This stress not only impacts their mental well being but can also lead to physical exhaustion, as a dog constantly in a heightened state isn’t giving itself a chance to rest and reset.

If you're looking to help your dog have more self control, get in contact.

Dogs communicate with each other through a unique concept called negative pressure, which stands in contrast to human communication methods. In human interactions, we often use positive reinforcement—verbal praise, physical affection, or treats—to indicate that someone has done something ‘right.’ However, dogs don’t communicate this way with one another. Instead, dogs know they’ve acted correctly when there’s an absence of negative pressure or correction from the other dog.

Negative pressure in dog communication takes several forms, including physical posturing, vocal signals, and eye contact. For instance, a slight growl, a fixed stare, or a tense posture can communicate to another dog that their behaviour is not welcome. On the other hand, if a dog’s actions are appropriate, they’re met with calm neutrality—no correction or pressure, just a relaxed stance and silence. This subtle system allows dogs to learn boundaries quickly without the need for overt praise.

The benefit of this communication method is clarity; it reduces misunderstandings by creating clear behavioural boundaries. A dog knows instantly if they’ve overstepped because the feedback is immediate and intuitive. This approach can be particularly effective in multi-dog households, where reinforcing boundaries with negative pressure promotes neutrality without the need for constant human intervention. For humans, understanding this concept can improve training and socialisation by creating respect for a dog’s natural communication style, ultimately creating a more balanced and peaceful environment.

As a local independent small business it is very difficult to compete with larger companies/franchises who spend £1000s in advertising costs and its getting even harder with Facebook as they're not showing as many adverts unless you pay.
