Dogs have feelings.

Today Bella was spooked by a car on a ramp. Instead of rushing her past when she did not want to, we waited for a moment. We then crossed over and waited a few moments more. After that, Bella felt able to continue on.

We all have moments of uncertainty and need to take time to process. Our dogs are the same. Don't brush aside their fears, take a moment and work with your dog.

Slow it all down and conquer.

The joys of shopping with your dog!

Head over to a local pet shop and let your dog explore. Watch the nose at work and discover their favourite treats, their favourite toys.

It may be bad for your wallet but it is a confidence builder for your dog.

Not often I say this, but get to the shops and take your best friend with you!

Please note, things will get knocked off the shelves non-stop by the nose and tail so avoid the china shops 😉

Me as an owner of this adorable puppy, many moons ago:

"Oh yea! I got my puppy to sit without any training classes. I am smashing it. I can do this."

Me as a dog trainer now:

"Ok, that is awesome, but ...

1. Can you get them to sit whilst you walk 10 steps away? 5 then? Try 1 step away whilst they remain in a sit.

2. Can you get them to sit if you are not right in front of them?

3. Can you get them to sit and remain there whilst you do star jumps?"

As an owner - none of the above scenarios crossed my mind. As a trainer they do. It's the job to better equip you and your pup for life.

Choose a good trainer. Do it in person. Don't stop with the simple sit 🐕.

I started reading a book I love.

Then my grasshopper brain thought of something I could grab on Amazon. I jump on my phone, search and order.

Then I went back to my book.

Then Facebook notified me of something "interesting". I glanced at it.

I returned to my book.

My focus is barely there and I found it hard to concentrate. So many external factors interrupting my focus.

For Dogs it is no different.

Your walks, your training, all of it needs you and your dog to focus.

So remove the phone, the TV, the radio. Whatever is distracting you, put it out of sight and simply start with just you and your dog.

Simplify life and The success will then be limitless 🥰

Introducing cats and dogs together can be a scary time.

Taking it slow enables the animals to remain safe and avoids unnecessary stress.

Nala might be getting a new friend.

A new non-doggy friend.

So we are scent swapping a lot.

Why?

This will help us train both animals to be calm when they smell the other animal and is a great start to any relationship. It also keeps both animals happy and safe during the process.

Please note, in the photo Nala is munching her favourite bone and has chosen to take it near the other animals scent. She is not uncomfortably pinned down like the image portrays 🤣.

Avoidance: The act or practice of keeping away from or withdrawing from something undesirable.

Avoidance is an easy habit to get into, particularly when your dog has large reactions to certain things.

But how can they learn if we continue to avoid the situation?

World Mental Health Day is here.

Taking care of our mental health can be challenging at times, but for me, having my best friend by my side is such a help.

The Smile in the Lead.

What on earth is that?

Well, it is a nice loose lead which has a relaxed owner one end and a relaxed dog on the other end.

If it is not something you have, then DM or comment below to get on our Take The Lead course.

Confidence building.

Different surfaces. Different heights. Different environments.

We all need to build on our confidence and our dogs are no different.

So use the world around you.

In the photo below, Nala is investigating a fallen down tree. She gets praised for this which in turn builds on her confidence.

No cost. No effort. Simply use the world around you.

Training isn't meant to be hard or frustrating.
If it feels this way, we need to change the approach.

Nala here absolutely loves a ball so we use it in training whilst having fun.

Keeping it light and enjoyable makes you more likely to repeat it! So ditch the boring approach and start having fun!

*Thank you to Timeless Photography again for a great action shot.

Life is busy.

So we slow it down.

Sit. Watch. Relax.

Enjoy your dogs company, not all training needs to me on the move. Sometimes simply taking in the world can benefit you all.

*Thank you to Timeless Photography for the lovely photo.
