Building your dog’s confidence starts with small wins. Whether you’ve got a new family member, or you feel your dog just needs some boosting up, there are things we can do to bring out your dogs true personality. Short training, fun play, clear cues, and calm routines help them feel safe and brave. Celebrate progress, stop looking for perfection, go at their pace, and keep it positive. 🐾

Your dog’s prey drive isn’t a problem — it’s potential! 🐾 It isn’t something you need to “fix” it’s something to use!
Instead of fighting it, we can channel it. 💡
Teaching cues like scan, search, and stalk gives your dog a safe, structured way to use their natural instincts — keeping them happy, focused, and safe 🧠✨

Let’s work with your dog to meet their needs mentally and physically, not battle against them. 💪 Drop me a message if you want to learn more about channelling your dogs energy into enrichment and calm!

I get “why does my dog eat poo?” a lot... whilst we may find it disgusting, it’s actually quite a natural behaviour for our dogs.

Puppies watch their mum clean up after themselves and their siblings to keep their bed clean. So there is an element of instinct here.

Dogs are curious animals... especially puppies who are exploring the world.

Occasionally, poo eating may be down to a nutritional deficiency - perhaps they are low in a partiuclar nutrient or enzyme.

Or your dog could be trying to get your attention.... and likely this will work!

Generally, It isn’t a harmful behaviour, however it is a good idea to discourage it. You can teach a solid leave it cue which will help with this!

If you’d like to learn how to teach a solid leave it cue and prevent those p**p snacks during your walk, drop me a message to see how I can help you, help your dog!

Are human expectations too high for dogs? If you ask me, I’ll say yes. For some reason, we all want the “perfect” dog... one that doesn’t bark, dig, scratch, chew, or get the zoomies in the house!
NEWS FLASH; your dog is a dog and will always be a dog. Understand that their culture is to do all things dog. We try and suppress their natural instincts and desires because it doesn’t “fit” into our human world. We expect them to be at home, inside 9-5 and not kick up a fuss... They are not meant to be isolated animals.
So its about time we started to understand the activities your dog enjoys, why they enjoy them and providing them opportunity to perform them.

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t me saying its ok for them to chew your sofa or dig up your newly planted flowers. But what I am saying, is if your provide them with ample opportunity to practise the things they love in a safe and controlled manor then your sofa might just stay unchewed and your plants left alone!

At the end of the day, your dog has their own personality and quirks just like you do. Please don’t supress them, because it’s what makes them who they are. If you need help identifying ways to help your dog be themselves without causing havoc at home, then feel free to drop me a message!
