Today we had our 2nd session with Odin. We discussed the importance of having clear cues to keep focus. We also started the foundations for loose lead walking. Really great work and looking forward to seeing his progress over the coming weeks

Prevention is obviously best but if your dog does start to show signs of heat related illness, remember: WET THEN VET ‼️

Why I Taught My Reactive Dog An Off-Lead Heel (And Why You Might Want To Too!)

As many of you know, Nya is a reactive dog — which means she can make decisions very quickly when startled or surprised, especially on walks.

When we approach blind corners or bends, I call her into heel so she’s by my side. If something’s there a dog, person, or surprise trigger - she’s not charging ahead making a poor choice..

By bringing her to heel she is now:
- calmly by my side.
- I’m in control of the situation.
- If something is around that corner, she doesn’t get the chance to make a poor decision.
- i can choose to clip her on-lead, keep her in heel, or release her when I know it’s safe.

This isn’t about over-controlling your dog — it’s about working as a team. Giving them guidance in moments where their natural reaction could land them in hot water. Nya feels safe and confident knowing I’ve got it handled.

Teaching this took time and consistency, but for reactive dogs, it can be a game changer. It turns uncertain moments into calm, managed ones. And THAT, for dogs like Nya, is freedom.

‘Happy Birthday’ to my adorable Reuben Pan- the boy who wouldn’t grow up 🥳
Still so full of fun, mischief and love; what he lacks in teeth he makes up for in character 🤣

Finally cool enough to get out for a little walk with this one. Reuben is 12 next week and has heart disease so we have to be super careful when it gets hot; especially when it’s so sudden ☀️

Progress, Not Perfection – A Big Step for Nya!

Today marked a big moment for Nya – her very first social meet with the gorgeous Alfie. And honestly, for a first-time meet, it went great.

We took things steady, no rushing, no pressure. Just a relaxed parallel walk and plenty of space. I think it helped that Alfie is Belle’s brother and mirrors so many of her calm, balanced behaviours – familiar energy goes a long way.

The park was very busy, and although Nya did have one small reaction when a dog ran straight up to her while she was on lead (which we know is a trigger for many dogs and I think she was well within her rights to do), she handled the rest of the walk like a star. Calm, curious, and connected. We’re calling that a massive win.

Alfie is an absolute credit to his owners – such lovely social skills, just like his sister Belle.

No pictures or videos this time – we were focused on being present and giving the dogs the best chance of success. But I’ll aim to capture some moments on the next one.

Can’t wait for the next walk Sally Grimes– proud of you, Nya.

Too much energy and not enough outlet!
Too much stimulation and not enough rest!
Too much walking and not enough connection!

At Absolute Canine Harmony, we look at the whole dog—body, brain, and behaviour.

Meeting your dog’s needs isn’t just about walks. It’s about enriching their minds, soothing their emotions, and strengthening your bond. When those needs are truly met, magic happens:
• Behaviour improves
• Reactivity reduces
• Calm becomes their natural state

Start small. Be intentional. Watch your dog thrive.

Yesterday we met with the handsome Odin.

Odin is a little unsure around dogs so we are going to be working with his owners to build his confidence and help him manage in situations he finds worrying.
