Let’s chat about why you shouldn’t make a big fuss when saying hello or goodbye to your pup! 🐶💕
Making a big deal out of coming and going can lead to separation anxiety in our beloved doggos. 🏡➡️🐕 Here’s why:
Understanding Separation Anxiety 🐾😟
Separation anxiety is when dogs feel extreme distress when left alone, leading to:
* Excessive Barking or Howling: Continuous noise when you leave. 🗣️🐕
* Destructive Behaviour: Chewing furniture and digging at doors. 🛋️🦴
* Pacing: Nervous walking back and forth. 🏃♂️↔️🏃♀️
* Escaping: Trying to get out, sometimes hurting themselves. 🚪🔒
* House Soiling: Even trained dogs might have accidents. 🚽🏠
Why Avoid Dramatic Hello’s & Goodbye’s?
1. Reinforces Anxiety: Big fuss makes departures seem scary. 🆘❗
2. Increases Anticipation: Too much attention before leaving makes dogs anxious. ⏳😰
3. Calm & Collected: Low-key comings and goings help your dog stay relaxed. 😌🕶️
So next time you’re off to work or back from the shops, keep it cool, calm, and collected. 😎🕶️

🐾 Tips for Handling Your Dog’s Reactivity on Walks 🐾
Does your dog react to other dogs, people, or distractions during walks? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Here are some tips to help you manage and reduce reactivity, ensuring peaceful and enjoyable strolls for both of you! 🐶🌳
Stay Calm & Focused 😌
Your dog can sense your emotions. Stay relaxed and confident to help them feel secure.
Create Distance 🚶♂️↔️🚶♀️
If you see a potential trigger, calmly cross the street or turn in a different direction. Distance can help reduce reactivity.
Bring High-Value Treats 🍗
Use treats to distract and reward your dog for calm behaviour. Positive reinforcement can go a long way!
Use a Harness 🦮
A harness can reduce strain on your dog’s neck, making walks more comfortable.
Hire a Professional 🏅
If your dog’s reactivity is getting you down, consider consulting a certified dog trainer for personalised guidance.
Remember, every dog is different, and patience is key. With consistent training and positive reinforcement, your walks can become more enjoyable for both you and your dog! 🐕

🐾 Embracing the Art of Doing Nothing: Why Settle Training is Essential for Your Dog 🐶✨
Often the most valuable skill we can teach our dogs is the art of chilling!
🌟 Settle training isn’t just about teaching your dog to “do nothing”; it’s about cultivating a sense of calmness and contentment amidst the chaos of everyday life. Here’s why it’s so important:
1️⃣ Mental Well-being: Settle training provides them with a valuable coping mechanism, allowing them to unwind and find inner peace, even in stimulating environments.
2️⃣ Focus and Self-control: It reinforces their ability to focus and exercise self-control. This translates to better behaviour in various situations.
3️⃣ Bonding Opportunity: It’s a bonding experience. Through patience and positive reinforcement, you deepen the trust and connection between you and your dog.
There’s more! 🐾✨ Imagine enjoying a leisurely afternoon at your favourite café or pub, with your dog calmly resting by your side!
So, how can you start settle training? Begin by creating a designated relaxation spot for your dog, equipped with a comfy bed or mat. Then, gradually introduce the “settle” command, rewarding calm behaviour with treats and praise.
Remember, patience is key! Settle training is a gradual process, but the rewards – a calmer, happier pup – are well worth the effort. 🐾💖

🐕 Do this of your dog reacts on a walk! 🐕
👌🏼 Give them a sniff break!
🧠 Giving your dog sniff breaks after reacting to another dog is crucial for their mental well-being.
🐾 It allows them to decompress, process their emotions, and regain focus, helping to prevent escalation of the situation.
👏🏼 Plus, it gives them a chance to engage in natural behaviours, which can be calming and enriching.
🤍 The act of sniffing releases endorphins in dogs, which promote relaxation and reduce stress. By allowing reactive dogs to sniff after a reaction, it will create a calming effect, it can help to make them less likely to react anxiously or aggressively to further triggers in their environment.
🆘 To encourage your dog to do this, you can sprinkle some treats in the grass and use the cue ‘find it’
🕰️ Timing can be key with this as we don’t want to reward the reaction, so it’s best to hire a professional trainer to help you with this!

‼️🐕 We incorporated Sniffari Walks into our routine!
👏🏼 Sniffari walks offer an invaluable opportunity for reactive dogs to thrive and grow in their environment. Here’s why:
🧠 1. Mental Stimulation: Sniffing is mentally stimulating for dogs. It activates their brain and allows them to engage in natural behaviours, such as tracking and scenting. This mental stimulation helps tire them out and can reduce pent-up energy that may contribute to reactive behaviour.
💆🏻♀️ 2. Stress Reduction: The act of sniffing releases endorphins in dogs, which promote relaxation and reduce stress. By allowing reactive dogs to sniff and explore at their own pace, sniffari walks create a calming effect, making them less likely to react anxiously or aggressively to triggers in their environment.
🤎 3. Positive Associations: Sniffari walks can be associated with positive experiences for reactive dogs. Instead of feeling stressed or fearful on walks, they learn to associate the outdoors with relaxation, exploration, and enjoyment. Over time, this positive reinforcement can help change their emotional response to triggers and improve their overall behaviour.
🦮 So let your dog’s nose lead the way, enjoy some local quiet parks or grass verges, or make use of your local dog fields! Get that nose sniffing!
