Today I visited Zeppie and his family for his first appointment. Zeppie will be receiving training and support for dog reactivity. He isn’t afraid of dogs, but he has been showing frustration related reactivity as he wants to meet all the dogs!

I can’t wait to see his behaviour transform as we progress our way through his training and behaviour programme ❤️

Yesterday I met Ziggy for his initial consultation. He’s been reacting on walks to unfamiliar dogs following an incident with a dog that attacked him. This has meant that walks have been really stressful for both Ziggy and his family.

But now he is on his way to beginning to change the way he feels as he starts his behaviour rehabilitation plan.

Get it before it goes!

Unmanageable behaviour does not get better by itself and often becomes much worse if left.

Belle’s owner reported that Belle has been doing incredibly well on her walks 🥳 she is barely reacting and is a lot more relaxed. They now have enjoyable walks together and Belle no longer pulls on the lead.

Buddy the Frenchie. We headed out for a walk and did more training for his reactivity. He responded really well 🌟

Then I saw Bella the boxer and we also went out for a walk to work on her reactivity towards people and dogs (sadly I didn’t get a photo of her today!) however, she responded really well to her training! 🤩💖

Keeping Your Dog Safe and Stress-Free This Christmas 🎄

The festive season can be a whirlwind of activity—visitors arriving, decorations going up, and busy schedules all around. While this is exciting for us, it can be overwhelming for our dogs.

Here are a few tips to help your dog stay safe, stress-free, and happy this Christmas:

Create a Quiet Space

Designate a calm, quiet area in your home where your dog can retreat if things get too busy. This could be their crate, a quiet room, or a cozy corner with their bed and favorite toys. Dogs need breaks from noise, excitement, and unfamiliar people to reset and relax.

Stick to Their Routine

With all the holiday chaos, it’s easy to stray from your dog’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule. Try to keep their routine as normal as possible—it gives them a sense of stability and calm in an otherwise unpredictable environment.

Watch for Signs of Stress

Learn to recognize when your dog feels overwhelmed. Signs can include pacing, excessive yawning, licking lips, or trying to hide. If you see these, gently guide your dog to their quiet space to decompress.

Limit Exposure to Stressors

Not all dogs enjoy the extra guests, loud music, or the smell of rich Christmas food. Give your dog permission to “sit out” if they’d rather relax. If you have visitors, let them know your dog might need some space and discourage over-enthusiastic interactions, especially from children.

Safe Spaces for Food and Gifts

Holiday treats like chocolate, mince pies, and certain decorations can be harmful to dogs. Keep all food and small items well out of reach, and encourage guests to do the same.

Decompression Walks

Regular, calm walks away from the chaos can do wonders for your dog. Time outside allows them to sniff, explore, and decompress. A relaxed, sniffy walk gives your dog both mental and physical stimulation and helps them reset.

One-on-One Time

Don’t forget to give your dog some individual attention, whether it’s a quiet cuddle, a training session, or a game of fetch. Your presence reassures them and strengthens your bond during the busy season.

Christmas should be a joyful time for everyone, including your dog. By allowing them opportunities to decompress and respecting their need for space, you can ensure they stay relaxed, happy, and safe throughout the festivities.

Many people ask about neutering their dog if they present with over-reactivity or fear aggression. Heal the Dog makes an interesting point here about research that suggests nervous or fearful dogs would probably benefit from staying in tact for longer as testosterone, oestrogen and progesterone may increase emotional and cognitive resilience.
