Changing a dog's behaviour starts with understanding their needs.

It's essential to assess the dog's welfare, management, and how they feel emotionally.

Rewarding desired behaviours with positive reinforcement ensures the dog understands what is expected of them, while also meeting their natural instincts and needs.

One of my roommates barks at the door to attract the attention of my other room mate so that they can steal their seat on the sofa.

Animal Welfare should be the core of a professional frame of reference.
Transparency, authenticity and honesty should underpin this.
Ethical training, handling, and support can lead to difficult conversations but should always lead to the best support for you and your companions. It involves holistic teamwork that includes your vet.

There's no instant fix promises, because there's not always an instant fix.

There's no suppression of communication dressed as education.

There's referral out to another welfare based professional, if your support needs are outside of the professionals skill set or remit.

There's expanding knowledge and awareness for all involved.

There shouldn't be blaming and shaming. It shouldn't feel uncomfortable. It shouldn't be stressful.

Ahhhh the myth busting is back...

Listen carefully to the language your trainer uses.

Nothing says "ignorant " like quoting a recanted study, that the actual author disproved and acknowledged was wrong .. Welfare at heart...Train with trust and love...

Wildlife wednesday.

Foxes can make over 40 different sounds

If you’ve ever heard those scream like howls you will probably know the type of sounds we are talking about. Foxes can make a variation of screams, barks, and howls that can range from high pitched tones to lower tones to communicate different things. 🥰
