Real Dogs. Real Life. Really Kind Training 🫶

23/11/2025

✨ A little reminder for our tiny dog lovers…

Some dogs wear yellow because they need a bit more space. 💛

Let's teach our little ones that if they spot a “dog in yellow,” waving, blowing a kiss, or admiring from afar is the perfect way to be kind and safe.

Small gestures = big respect for nervous pups. 🐶💛

🌟 THE REACTIVITY RESET WORKSHOP
📅 Monday 12th January 6pm
⏰ 2-hour workshop
🐾 Humans only - NO dogs present!
💰 Only £35 per family (maximum 3 people)
Fullarton ConneXions IRVINE

Got a dog who goes from calm to “absolutely not!” the second they see another dog, person, cyclist, leaf, or suspiciously-shaped bin?

This workshop is your reset button❤️‍🩹

Join me for an empowering, no-judgement session designed to help you finally understand why your dog reacts the way they do - and what you can start doing right now to make life calmer, easier, and a LOT more enjoyable for both of you.
⭐ We’ll cover:
• Why your dog behaves this way
• Management techniques. EASY practical ways to prevent blow-ups before they happen.
• My top training exercises. Real-life tools you can start using immediately.
• A full Q&A session

🍪 Cookies are supplied. Because learning is hard and cookies help.
Spaces are limited (and every workshop/class so far has sold out), so grab your seat and start the year strong by giving yourself and your reactive dog the calm, confident fresh start you both deserve with this powerful 2-hour workshop.

Forever proud of Mango’s recall! 🤍 This video isn’t sped up, that lightning-fast response to her cue “ready” is real. ⚡️
The secret? Consistency, practice, and LOTS of repetition. 💪

January dates for my recall class 'Focus & Freedom' will go live this week. Message me to be contacted before it goes live to secure your spot! 🐕✨

🎆 Fireworks Night Success for Mango! 🎆

This year was Mango’s best fireworks night yet, and that’s saying something for a dog who used to shake like crazy, bark, and pace at every bang! Here’s everything we did to help her feel calm and safe:

🐾Changed her diet about 6 months ago after realising her old food wasn’t agreeing with her.
🐾Started Pawd Drinks Calming Powder daily in her meals a month ago (we were total skeptics… but we truly believe that this has helped both dogs).
🐾 Used a calming pheromone collar that mimics the scent a mum dog releases to comfort her pups.
🐾Found she settles best in her crate, so she went in there with the door closed, safe and snug.
🐾 Put a snood (a cut-up fluffy sock!) over her ears - absolute GAMECHANGER! Probably the biggest difference of all.
🐾 Used licki mats during the main displays to keep her busy and relaxed.
🐾Played calming music on a speaker loud enough to drown out the fireworks.
🐾 Didn’t let her out for the toilet during the hours fireworks were going off.
🐾 Made sure she had a big walk early in the day with her dog walker to meet her needs and tire her out.

All that prep paid off, our girl was cool and calm all night long💛
If your dog struggles with fireworks, maybe some of these could help next year too! I completely understand that for some dogs, even after trying all of these things, fireworks night can still be really hard🤍😔

Let me know in the comments if there's anything else you would add to this prep!

🎆 DREADED FIREWORKS NIGHT IS COMING! 🎆

For many of our dogs, this isn’t the fun, sparkly night we humans enjoy, it’s terrifying.

I’ve popped together my Top 5 Tips for Fireworks Night to help your dog stay as calm and comfortable as possible 💛

🐶 Walk early before dark
🏡 Create a cosy den and close the curtains
🧦 Try a snood or fluffy sock over their ears to muffle the noise
🚫 Keep them safely inside (and on lead if they must go out if garden not secure)
🦴 Offer a chew or stuffed Kong for comfort and distraction

Let’s make this fireworks season a little less scary for our four-legged friends!

🐾Christmas Charity Appeal for Dogs in Need🐾

This Christmas, let’s make sure no dog is forgotten. ❤️

I’m collecting donations for a local rescue who are doing an incredible job caring for dogs waiting for their forever homes. They’re especially in need of:
🦴 Dog food
🍪 Treats
🧸 Enrichment toys
🛏️ Blankets & beds
👕Coats and Jumpers

💰Not sure what to donate? A small money donation can go a long way - from a warm bed to a full belly or even lifesaving vet care. I’ll make sure it’s goes straight to the rescue to be used where it’s needed most.

If you’d like to help, I run classes at Fullarton Connexions in Irvine on Monday and Wednesday evenings so please bring any donations along then, or message me to arrange drop-off or collection.

Let’s come together to spread some kindness and comfort to dogs who deserve a little Christmas magic too. 🎄🐶

“While we’re wrapping gifts for those we love, there’s a dog in rescue wrapping their paws around hope.” 🤍
