Decoding Dogs

It takes a long time to change our inner mantra to a kinder one. But we should be reminding ourselves every day that we are doing the best we can. After all, our dogs think we are amazing and we trust them right?

Advocating for your dog.

What does this mean? Understanding our dogs needs and putting that anove all else.

They cannot speak (unfortunately) but they tell us so much if they are:
🐾 Uncomfortable move them away from that situation.
🐾 Frightened comfort them
🐾 Excited, remain calm to not exacerbate the situation
🐾 Happy play with them!
🐾 Train with positivity not pain

The main thing is they look to you for safety and security. Give them this and the trust will build giving you a strong foundation for the best relationship.

I had the pleasure of watching a seminar yesterday with Do No Harm Dog Training - Linda Michaels I loved every moment. Where the science backed methods came from and why we know they work.

"The opposite to consent is helplessness"
I heard this today and thought it explains why I won't use negative reinforcement in training. Using force or fear is not training. Getting to the bottom of why the dog is exhibiting a behaviour is the only way to move forward.

Happy 12th birthday to my princess Tia.
My inspiration for starting my canine behaviour journey.

Understanding why she did anything and how to help her little neurotic tendencies was the reason I wanted to learn about canine behaviour and give her the best life. ☺️

Cannot wait for this. 2 whole days of learning from the experts. I love what I do but there is always more to learn and experience to be had.

🌟 Understanding Canine Behavior: A Key to a Happy Dog! 🐶💖

Hey dog lovers! 🐾 Did you know that understanding your dog’s behaviour is crucial for their well-being and happiness?

🐕 Why Understanding Behaviour Matters:
Dogs communicate through body language and vocalizations, and knowing what they’re trying to say can improve your bond with them. Whether it's playfulness, anxiety, or discomfort, recognizing these signals can help you respond appropriately.

🦴 Common Signs to Watch For:
 Tail Wagging: A wagging tail is often a sign of excitement, but be mindful of its position and speed!
 Cowering or Hiding: This could indicate fear or stress. Creating a safe space can help your pup feel secure.
 Barking: Dogs bark for various reasons—alerting you, seeking attention, or expressing anxiety. Understanding the context is key!

✨ Tips for a Harmonious Relationship:
1. Observe: Spend time watching your dog’s behaviour in different situations. What makes them happy or anxious?
2. Positive Reinforcement: Reward desired behaviours with treats, praise, or playtime to encourage good habits.
3. Stay Calm: Your dog can sense your emotions. Maintaining a relaxed demeanor can help ease their anxiety.

If you're ever unsure about your dog’s behaviour or need guidance on training techniques, feel free to reach out! I’m here to help you understand, connect, and create a joyful life for you and your furry friend. 🐕

Remember, a happy dog is a well-understood dog! 🐾❤️
