Feel Well. Behave Well.🐾🐾🐾
This is at the heart of what we do at Canine Thinking. We know health is critical at every life stage. Health affects behaviour. Stress affects health. You have to look at them together.
Feeling well is essential for happiness, as it enables us to learn, adapt, cope with life’s ups and downs, and enjoy the important business of having fun.
This applies whether your dog is a tiny puppy or a treasured golden oldie. And even healthy dogs can have day-to-day ups and downs, just like we do.
We see many cases each year of dogs who are perceived as difficult to train, or as being naughty, stubborn, worried, reactive, or who won't sleep through the night. This is where, with the right detective work, we can gather vital information to help the vets, and we find there is a health issue which is having a big effect on that behaviour.
Sometimes these health issues are huge, sometimes they can seem really small, sometimes they are old issues which have clinically resolved, but are still affecting behaviour. It doesn't matter - if it's affecting your dog, you have to address it.
Sort the health, and often the behaviour improves significantly all on its own, or at the very least becomes a lot easier to address.
