That's pure chill, right there! ๐

Reading a dog's body language can prove tricky and we often mistake it. Fear can be mistaken for excitement and just because a dog's tail is wagging, doesn't mean they are happy. A dog may often put themselves in a situation they feel fearful of as well. I have often gone out with a smile on my face when I have been feeling anxious inside.
There is a misconception that putting the dog in the situation will help them through it. Taking a step back, grounding the dog and building towards the situation is a more better option and will develop a more trusting and precious bond between the two of you.
Isn't that what everyone wants?
๐ EXPOSURE ๐
Hi, I am Alex and I am a games based Dog Trainer and Pet Sitter in Southend-On-Sea, Essex.
- Do you think about the exposure you give your dog? Where do you place all the value? Does your dog see more value in bolting off into the horizon, (Tom and Jerry) style, or, do they see value in hanging around you, waiting for instructions? ๐
My expertise and YOUR hard work, can help you to build a better skill set and develop the dog of your dreams! Mmm hmm, that's right.
When we have children, we set rules and boundaries. We teach them to respect these boundaries and when we can trust them to make the right choices, we gradually increase the freedom they are allowed. Why do we not do the same with our dogs?

Hi all, I'm Alex and I'm a games based Dog Trainer and Pet Sitter ๐ I'm working with Cody here and teaching him that if you work hard, you'll get paid. You can see how engaged he is with me and he is enjoying what he is doing. I'm using a technique called "luring" to enable him into position. If you'd like to find out more, visit www.happyhooch.co.uk today โ๐ฝ
Hi everybody, I'm Alex and I am a games based Dog Trainer in Southend-on-Sea. Just check out the little happy face of this dog. Sometimes we see dogs with a cute, happy face and assume all is well in their world. However, this dog is really not keen to be around other dogs.
We don't want to put our dogs in a position where the โ๏ธ signs of being ignored and the only thing we notice is when they bite you!
Using games to build confidence, trust and optimism is a great way to reshape the mind out of anxiety and into confidence. Visit www.happyhooch.co.uk. If you're interested in our services and we will see you over there.
Peace out โ๐ฝ gs
Hi guys, I'm Alex and I'd like to talk about ๐๐ฝ
Labels!
- is your dog stubborn or lazy or awkward? Could it be that they are perhaps fearful, unsure or pessimistic? Any of you suffer with feelings of anxiety, overwhelm or dread? Imagine if your beloved, the person you trusted pushed you into that situation. Would you start to trust them less and feel these emotions more and more?
We aaaallll know that to void these feelings we need to do the work. Wouldn't you just love to label yourself and/or your dog as the happy, optimist that's fearful of nothing! Sounds like a dream right? Sounds like a SUPER HERO!
I can help you build the skill set to put those dreams into a reality. If you'd like to know more, check out out website ๐๐ฝ www.happyhooch.co.uk and submit an enquiry form. You'll need to address it to Alex.
Peace out! โ๐ฝ

โTis The Season To Be Jolly Lyrics. [Verse 1] Deck the halls with boughs of holly. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la 'Tis the season to be jollyโฆ.
Or is it? With Christmas shopping, comes stress (for me at least)! With a manic work schedule, comes festivities and cheer. With festivities and cheer, comes a hangover! With each antecedent comes a behaviour. With each behaviour comes a consequence.
What is your dogโs behavioural and emotional response to Christmas? Barking? Zoomies? Hiding? Licking? What about if the emotional response was reconditioned? Instead of excitement, fear and/or worry, be practised calmness and settled in or on a boundary? And this isnโt just for Christmas! Who wants that all year round?
Wouldnโt it be nice to have a festive time with a dog that has confidence, a neutral response to noise and a good value and understanding in a crate. A dog that can disengage and listen to cues whilst there is noise going onโฆ
๐๐ฝ What are you doing with your delivery boxes and packaging? Recycling them? Using them for enrichment? ๐ค

We focus so much on the lead walk, but we often donโt think of the prep and ingredients of the walk. Like making a cake, there are a lot of ingredients that go into the overall result and a lot of trial and error. If you can change your attitude towards lead walking, understand the whats, whys and hows, youโll build a better result and relationship with your dog!
Shaping behaviour and building duration in boundaries!
Proofing behaviour in new environments with distractions whaaatttt! Go Cody! ๐ถ๐๐ซโค๏ธ

Your dog needs to trust you ๐ซต๐ผ as a handler and if they arenโt feeling confident one day, thatโs okay! Switch the walk for some relaxed and tiring enrichment games. Olly knows. Heโs part of my Dog Sitting GOLD enrichment package โญ๏ธ

Dogs will go to where the value is and this dog is currently seeing value in charging outside and barking at the fence next door. It's down to me this weekend as his human to get him thinking that running away from that and sniffling in a mat is a better deal. We tried it for the first time and even though he went back to the door afterwards he wasn't charging to get out! He waited, turned and looked at me and he got rewarded back on the snuffle mat (with the remainder of his breakfast feed).
If you need help teaching your dog whatโs a better deal than their instinct, booking your one-to-one training sessions with me now and letโs get that barking under control!
