Dog behavior issues often arise from unmet needs. To effectively address these problems, it is crucial to examine the biological, emotional, and social requirements of the dog. As an animal behaviorist, I specialize in identifying and addressing these gaps to help improve the behavior of dogs. Check out my latest blog post for a more in-depth look at understanding and meeting the needs of your furry friend.

Let me introduce you to the concept of the 'Behaviour Iceberg'. It's a tool I like to use to help my clients understand the deeper reasons behind their behaviors. Instead of just focusing on the surface-level issues, we dive beneath the waterline to uncover the hidden root causes.

Did you know that the ancient Greeks and Romans believed in the healing power of dogs? A lick from a sacred temple dog was thought to cure all manner of ills, and pilgrims would flock to have their wounds licked. So is there any truth behind this? Does a dog's lick really have magical healing properties? Take a look at my recent blog post to find out more.

Socialisation is the number one thing for new puppy owners to concentrate on. Giving your young pup the chance to form positive associations with a wide variety of people, animals, places, sounds, sights and smells will set them up to be confident and resilient adult dogs.

I use what I call the 'Behaviour Iceberg' to explain to clients how behaviour modification works. Its all about looking below the surface at the hidden root causes of an issue, rather than simply addressing the visible behaviour problems.

Providing enrichment into your dog's life will do wonders for their mental wellbeing. A simple enrichment win is to vary your daily walk, giving them the chance to seek out new sniffs and explore somewhere different.

Lottie is loving her snuffle mat! Breakfast time has been transformed from a 10-second scoff to a fun-filled brain-game.

Scent marking indoors, barking at other dogs, hu***ng your leg: young male dogs can exhibit a range of undesirable behaviours and I am regularly asked whether castration will solve all of these. The simple answer is probably not. Castration may help to resolve those behaviours that are primarily controlled by the s*x hormone, testosterone, but there are also other factors to consider. My advice is to talk to your vet and consider working in partnership with a behaviourist to help understand and manage unwanted behaviours.

For more information, take a look at my recent blog post.

Does your dog bark and lunge at other dogs on a walk? Choosing where you walk a reactive dog can help avoid those troublesome encounters.

Give your furry friend a hug! A simple hug or cuddle session with your pet can work wonders, triggering the release of those delightful feel-good chemicals in your brain and also your dog's brain too. The result? A sense of relaxation and happiness for both you and your four-legged companion. Don't wait any longer - go find your dog and give them a warm embrace!
