Muttamorphosis Dog Training & Behaviour

It’s puppy season again.
Owners often stress about what they need to train now versus what can wait for later and they often get things mixed up. Sit, down and stay can wait. Recall training needs to start immediately and most importantly of all, you should be cuddling and bonding and settnig routines and helping puppy learn they can trust you more than anyone else.

This blog is designed to help you prioritise what you need to focus on with your new puppy. What’s vital to get right from the outset and what can wait! 18months ago I found the most wonderful breeder and put my name down for a puppy. 14 months ago I flew to meet the family, […]

STOP WALKING YOUR DOG IN THIS HEAT!!! ☀️🌞🌅🛑✋

And yes, I am shouting because given how many dogs I’ve just seen being dragged around my local town, the message is still not getting through.

If you wouldn’t walk around in a fur coat in this weather, the simple answer is neither should your dog!!!

I have loved this boy from afar since he came to live with me 14 years ago. What do I mean by this?

Like a lot of Border Collies, Guinness doesn’t enjoy close contact, cuddles, hugs, kisses etc. this is even more the case since he lost an eye, and is going deaf.

So I have spent 14 years wanting to, but resisting cuddles, except on Guinness’ terms.

Guinness likes company, he is always to be found close by. He loves doing stuff, but of course this is more limited now due to his age. But he politely declines the touchy, feely stuff.

This is hard for me, as it is a lot of my clients. I want to have close physical contact with him but have to stop myself from doing something he is clearly not comfortable with.

It’s hard to accept and it’s even harder to get used to as like most humans, physical affection with our dogs is something I enjoy. But for some dogs, that joy isn’t reciprocated

I have learnt other ways to love the dog in front of me, and he has taught me so much. But I still have to stop myself from over-handling him, every single day.

Cheers to my Pint of the Black Stuff. My Guinness. My sweet, sensitive, ‘hands off’ puppy.

Last evening with these cuties. Tomorrow they go to their next foster home. It’s been an amazing 5 weeks with them. I absolutely adore hand rearing kittens and puppies. The rewards are amazing and it’s so lovely to know they are going into to brighter and better things.

Happy Birthday to the greatest terrier there ever was. The kindest most fun, tolerant, happy & special boy.

I cannot believe you are 9 years old already. Where did that time go? Please stop now and don’t get any older.

I love my Krisbos Jellybean so, so much.
Thank you Marianne for trusting me with such a special dog.
