🦴 “The bite came out of nowhere!”

It is common to hear this from dog owners who have missed vital signs of canine communication.

Dogs speak volumes through body language and subtle communication— you just need to know how to read the signs! These body language cues can tell you whether your dog is relaxed, stressed, excited, or needs space. Learning to listen to their language can prevent things like dog bites and help you understand what your dog is trying to tell you🐕💬

✔️ How to spot signs of stress before they escalate

‼️A VERY HONEST POST ‼️

The last couple of weeks with this one has been… challenging. And it’s not over yet.

Indie is in season and I have seen some behavioural changes, which along with having to be more careful where I walk her, has made life a bit trickier.

It makes sense though doesn’t it. We know that our hormones can affect how we feel and behave so why would it be any different for a dog.

In the last week, it’s intensified even more, with her becoming super interested in sniffing, sometimes to the point of licking (presumably where another dog has peed), just like my male used to do.

I don’t know how long the behavioural changes will last after her season has finished. And I’ll be honest, I am struggling with it. Stressing about where to walk whilst still meeting her needs, worrying about being called out for walking my female in heat (I don’t agree with keeping them in for weeks at a time).

She is frustrated, and so am I.

Why did I think having a female would be easier?! 😅

Just wanted to show that even those who generally know what they’re doing become lost and struggle sometimes!

Helping your dog overcome something builds resilience and confidence.

When I saw this trampoline in the ground I knew this was the perfect opportunity for me to help Indie overcome something she thought she couldn’t do.

With a bit of lead pressure, she realised the moving floor was fine, and she got snacks too. Very quickly she got over the avoidance and was happily walking onto it even whilst I was gently bouncing it.

(I think the people in the park enjoyed watching a dog go on a trampoline too😂)
