I talk a lot about supporting our dogs, helping them feel safe, breaking things down into little steps, celebrating the tiny wins (yes, sometimes the “she sniffed the wheelie bin without panicking” kind of wins!).

But honestly? People need that too.

Life can be overwhelming. We are all learning, unlearning, and occasionally standing in the rain wondering why we signed up for this walk in the first place. Just like our dogs, we thrive when someone says, “You have got this, and if you do not, I am right here.”

That is why I love collaborating with other professionals. Every dog and every family is different, and when we work together whether that is with vets, physios, hydrotherapists, or other trainers and behaviourists, we can give each client a truly rounded experience. It means no one has to walk the journey alone, and every dog gets the best possible support for both their body and their mind.

When we lift each other up, sharing knowledge, cheering for progress, laughing at the tough bits, and offering a steady hand when things wobble, we make space for growth.

So let us do it. Let us build each other up the way we build up our dogs: with patience, kindness, a few well timed snacks, and the occasional laugh when it all goes sideways.

Because confidence does not just happen. It is built together.

Helping your dog relax isn’t just about “settling down” it’s about supporting them with an essential life skill.

Today I’m recording a podcast, and Pascal is right here with me. He loves to be close, but that means he needs to be able to lie quietly and relax while I work.

Being able to switch off is so important for our dogs especially nervous rescues. Relaxation reduces stress, supports better behaviour, and helps them feel safe in different environments. It’s not something that always comes naturally, but we can help them by creating calm routines, offering safe spaces, and rewarding moments of calm.

Whether it’s resting during a podcast, chilling in a café, or simply unwinding at home, relaxation is a gift we can help our dogs discover and it makes life easier for everyone.

Does your dog find it easy to relax, or do they need a little help along the way?

Ps the pic is ai as every time I try to get a photo he thinks that I've finished and jumps up 🤣
Anyway keep an eye out for the new podcast - on YouTube Dogs Do Speak 💚

Ever had one of those days where you just can’t be bothered?

The kind where the sofa, a blanket, and a good nap sound much better than tackling the world? Well… our dogs have those days too.

Sometimes they wake up feeling a bit meh, a little tired, or just not in the mood for zoomies and big adventures. And honestly, who can blame them? Rest days are part of life.

Scentwork games in the garden, a destruction box or even an afternoon snooze-fest can help them recharge. Listening when your dog says “today’s a duvet day” not only supports their wellbeing, it also shows them you’ve got their back.

So next time your dog flops down and gives you that “do we really have to?” look, remember: rest is as important for them as it is for us.

And let’s be honest… a lazy day together doesn’t sound too bad, does it?

Windy days can turn an ordinary dog walk into something straight out of The Wizard of Oz. Your dog might feel like Toto caught up in a whirlwind, with scents flying in every direction, strange noises whistling through the trees, and leaves or bags blowing past like flying monkeys.

A few things to keep your Toto safe (without needing ruby slippers):
• If your dog spooks easily, keep them on lead, no one wants to be chasing them “over the rainbow.”
• Save recall training for calmer days, or head to a secure field where they can’t suddenly take off to Oz.
• Remember, they’re not being stubborn, their super-sniffer and sensitive ears are just overwhelmed by the chaos.
• At home, check that fences and gates are firmly shut. A strong gust can fling them open before you can say “there’s no place like home.”

We do see more missing dogs when the weather’s wild, so a little extra caution means your dog stays by your side, safe, sound, and not off auditioning for a remake.

Working with me isn’t just about training your dog… it’s about joining a community of people who totally get it.

We’re the ones who:
• Cheer when your nervous rescue finally sniffs a lamppost like it’s the red carpet
• Swap stories about the weird and wonderful things our dogs are scared of (bin bags, garden gnomes, leaves blowing the wrong way…)
• And yes, you will all start saying “YES! Good shake off!” like proud parents at sports day 🤣

And because community matters, our very first monthly client Zoom is happening on 25th September at 6pm. If you’re a client and have anything specific you’d like to chat about, just let me know so I can make sure we cover it.

So yes, you’ll get guidance, tools, and support for your dog… but you’ll also find yourself in an awesome community that celebrates the wins, laughs at the chaos, and makes the journey a whole lot more fun.
