Never Owning A Dog Before It’s Hard To Know What’s Normal Behaviour And Problematic Behaviour! This Was A Normal Response For Anyone Coming Into Nigel’s Home, He Sets Off To The Door And Around The Door Barking.. It Isn’t Excitement As His Owners Thought, It Was Fear! Part Of Any Dogs First Session With Us Is A Behaviour Evaluation To Help Us Understand What Your Dog Has Been Trying To Communicate! Nigel’s First Session Was Abiut Implementing Change In Their Relationship, Boundaries & Changing What Nigel’s Day To Day Looks Like! These Changes Are What Is Going To Allow His Nervous System To Realign And Help His Busy Head Take A Breath! A Dog With A Clear Mind Is Much Better Than Listening! He’s A Cute Lad And We Are Going To Help Him ❤️ #italiangreyhound #anxietyrelief #dogtraining #dogbehaviour #understandingchallenges
Our Dogs Are Communicating With Us Every Single Day And Very Rarely Do Things Come Out Of Nowhere! Reactivity Is Something That Is Built Over Time Stemming From A Thought Process That Turns Into Action. This Was Mine & Mabel’s Initial Greeting, She Was Barking Initially So I Spoke To Her Owner Whilst Ignoring Her. It Looks To The Average That She Has Calmed Down And Is Just Checking Me Out But Of Course I Knew What Was Coming! Working With Dogs Isn’t Always Fun & Games And A Easy Ride However It Is Our Job To Help The Dogs Who Need Us Most - Dogs Who Bite Are Living With Chronic Stress 🥺 #dogtraining #fearaggression #dogaggression #strangerdanger #letsdothis #CopingMechanisms
Got Some Amazing Sessions Coming Up For You Guys Over The Night Few Days! This Is One Of Our New Recruits Mabel Who Needs Some Help With Fear Reactivity/ Aggression! 🥹❤️

When You Have A Reactive Dog, One Of The Biggest Reasons They Can React Is To Preserve Their Own Space! Initially Exposing Your Dog To Their Triggers Should Be At A Distance That Is Comfortable For Them.. But Then Comes A Time To Close Down That Gap As We Cannot Live In Avoidance Of The World! It’s Impossible! Mr Monty Took That Step At The Weekend And Honestly We Couldn’t Be Prouder Of His Progress. From A Dog At The End Of His Lead, On His Hindlegs Pulling & Screaming At Everything In Sight To A Calmer Member Of Society 😍 Go Monty!!
We Had A Amazing Session With Little Kasey Last Night, Being Extremely Reactive It Was A Big Test For Her Being Around Bexley But She Did Absolutely Superb! We Captured Some Great Content Too - Thankyou So Much Jenny ❤️
Dog Attack Canada 💔
Absolutely Devastating For This Poor Couple And Their Dog! This May Have Happened Overseas But It’s A Common Occurrence In The UK And Something Needs To Be Done! Instead Of Taking Responsibility For Her Dogs Actions You See The Other Owner Trying To Flee The Scene - Disgusting! Always Advocate For Your Dogs Space When It Comes To Dogs You Don’t Know & Carry A Spare Lead So You Can Gain Control If The Other Owner Is Nowhere To Be Seen. Not Doing So Can End Badly #dogattack #strangerdanger #besafe #BeVigilant #becareful
Building Confidence In A Dog Is A Combination Of Problem Solving & Patience! Hendrix Would Quickly Give Up & Check Out Of A Activity If He Was Unsure Of It.. The Aim Of The Session Here Was Building Him Up To Putting His Front 2 Paws On The Platform, It Was A Challenge Getting Him To Engage With It As He Was Nervous But With Patience And Perseverance Hendrix Overcame His Nerve And Solved The Problem Empowering Himself! If We Don’t Believe In Our Dogs Ability, Who Will? #numberonefan #dogadvocate #doglover #confidencebuilding #problemsolving #braindevelopment #CognitiveFunction
There Seems To Be Rumours In The Dog World That If You Train Your Dog And Hold Expectations Of Their Behaviour You Don’t Care For The Animal They Are.. It Couldn’t Be Further Than The Truth! I Train Them For That EXACT Reason.. Because They Are Animals Living In A Human World And Not Doing So Would Do Them A Huge Disservice. A Trained Dog Can Understand What Is Happening Around Them Without Becoming Stressed Or Frantic, You Can Also Have A Enjoyable Experience Too! Trained Dogs Are Happier Dogs With A Better Quality Of Life For Sure ❤️
Plunges Aren’t For Everyone But Is Something I Would Recommend To Look Into! It’s Definitely Not For The Faint Hearted, It Is Intensely Horrible.. But Weirdly A Good Horrible! I’ll Record My Cold Water Journey, Today I Lasted 2 Minutes And 30 Seconds. The Water Was Freezing When I Entered, I Told Myself I Wasn’t Getting Out Until I Had Stopped Shivering And My Breathing Had Calmed (This Is Regulation) I’ve Felt Great All Afternoon Since Taking The Plunge 🌊🧊💬🌊 #coldwaterimmersion #ColdWaterTherapy #mindfulness #taketheplunge #nervoussystemregulation #nervoussystemhealing
Dusty The Reactive German Shepherd Cross ❤️
Reactivity Does Not Mean Aggressive! When A Guardian Breed Is Scared They Are Meant To Look Scary, I Didn’t Capture Dusty’s Proper Reaction To Dogs - The Lead Up Was Enough! Through Negative Experiences With Other Dogs She Has Learnt To Be Intolerant Of Them, She See’s Them & Fear Strikes And BOOM Reaction. Resetting Dusty On The Lead Is A Crucial Starting Point So She Knows What To Do, Where To Be And What To Focus On As Right Now She Focuses Only On Being Vigilant! Can’t Wait To Get Dusty Feeling Much Better In Herself And Much More Confident In Other Areas! We Are On Our Way & We’ve Got This 💪
For Those Of You Who Have Worked With Me, You Will Know How Important Mindfulness Is As Part Of Dog Training! Understanding Mindfulness Has Helped Me Change My Life & My Life With My Dogs. Cold Water Plunges Have A Huge Range Of Benefits When It Comes To Your Mental Health And Nervous System Regulation.. Who Wants To See The First Plunge 😂 #practisewhatyoupreach #mindfulness #mindfulliving #ColdWaterTherapy #icebath
I Had The Pleasure Of Meeting This Beautiful Girl Dusty Who Has Been Having Some Issues Surrounding Dog Reactivity! Although She Is Reactive And Hostile When She See’s A Dog She’s A Very Sensitive Soul! Here’s A Sneaky Peek Into Her Session, Full Video Is Coming Later Today 😉
Secure Fields Can Be A Absolute God Send For A Reactive Dog, Just A Space They Can Be Without Threat Or Worry! All Too Often We Just Sit Back And It Can Be Quite A Boring Experience For Them - Involve Yourself And You Will Have A Blast! I Booked The Secure Field For Mouse & Janet This Morning To Blow Off Some Steam, We Played Frisbee, Found Chicken, We Ran And We Rolled And Had A BLAST! Thankyou For Letting Us Use The Field Kenny & Friends Ltd ❤️
Our Dogs Are A Part Of Our Life, We Are Our Dogs Entire World! Whilst Training Is Important, Having Fun And Just Been In The Moment With Your Dog Is Just As Important.. Feat Iris Having A Run With Her Dad And Sitting Pretty 🤩 #rottweiler #havefuntogether #relationshipsbelike #mansbestfriend

There Are Constructive And Destructive Habits! The Habits Your Dog Practises Is What Helps Form Them As A Character Which Therefore Forms Thought Processes, Behaviour Patterns & Emotions To Support Them. Training Your Dog Helps Them Become More Relaxed In Their Environment, It Helps Them Form Connection And Communication With You As Their Owner. A Simple Walk Where Your Dog Is Free To Be A Dog Are So Effective When It Comes To Helping Them Decompress. My Girls Have A Busy Job And A Busy Life With Lots Of Expectations, I Balance That Out With Filling Their Spare Time With The Things They Love The Most.. Bar Training And Playing With The Ball One Of Bex’s Favourite Things Is To Explore Her Surroundings - We Love To Watch Her Go 🥹 #sprockerspaniel #exploringuk #fillyourcup #fillyourcupfirst #HappyDogsHappyLife
Dogs & Body Language! ⚠️
Did You Know Dogs Communicate Through Their Body Language? Subtle Signs Can Be Big Words To Them! In Most Situations When Dogs Get Into Conflict Is Usually Through Human Error In Misunderstanding What’s Actually Happening. Sitting Back, Being Aware Of The Lingo Is Fascinating To Watch And Learn By. Nancy, Vera & Luna Set Up The Perfect Situation For Me To Film And Slow Down For You Guys! Many People Would Read This Situation As Luna Just Going For A Sniff But Much More Happened In That Moment 😉 CONTEXT MATTERS! Let Us Know If You Would Like More Of These Breakdown Videos To Learn More Into The World Of Dogs & Their Communication 👩🎓📝
Little Luna Had A Particularly Hard Time Controlling Her Emotions Especially On A Lead Around Dogs She Doesn’t Know. She Has Had Multiple Dogs Invade Her Space Putting On Edge In These Situations As She Preempts It Will Happen Again. Teaching Her Owners How To Advocate For Has Made All The Difference For Luna And Surely Her Confidence Is Building 🙏❤️ #cockerpoo #leadreactivity #reactivity #strangerdanger #confidenceiskey #leadbyexample
I Can’t Tell You How Many People Come To See Me To Help Their Reactive Dog, The Assessment Is Such A Important Part For Us As The Dog Trainer To Help You. Luna Is Reactive To Pretty Much 99% Of Dogs She Doesn’t Know Due To A Lack Of Confidence. When She Isn’t Confined To A Lead She Will Actively Avoid And Seek Space, On A Lead She Has No Other Option But To Fight. Wait Until Later Today So See How Luna’s Session Went 😍 #reactivitytraining #TheWhy #cockerpoo #sprockerspaniel #confidencebuilding #contextmatters #balanceddogtraining
