Spring Forward to Recovery
If you've promised yourself 2024 is going to be THE year you tackle your dog's Separation Anxiety then this is for you.

I know it can be a daunting prospect especially if you've already tried lots of things, perhaps you even began Gradual Desensitiation in the past? You got so far then it stalled or regressed?

NEW FOR APRIL
Discovery for Recovery. I can offer you - Analysis and Assessment without A full Programme Commitment. Interested?

Key to any successful treatment plan is knowing exactly how and where to start. There is no one size fits all Plan. You need a bespoke solution for exactly where your dog is 'At' right now. (Hint: it might not where you think).

Today is Dog's in Yellow Day. Keep your distance, it's an easy thing that means a lot and can make a hugely positive difference to our anxious friends.

If you spot a dog on the lead or wearing yellow, there is one small thing that you can do that will truly transform their day.
Give them some space - A little distance goes a long way.
Dog wearing yellow need space and it can be for a whole host of different reasons.
They might be injured or in pain, they might be scared of dogs or people, they might find children frightening.
I know you might be curious to learn more, but please don't approach.
When things that scare our come too close it makes them feel like a threat.
That's why you might see us bark, lunge or show our teeth.
We're just trying to make the scary thing go away.
When we can see these scary things at a distance our humans help us learn that they're not so scary after all.
But it takes time. And patience.
And my humans are trying really hard to show me how safe the world is.
Will you help and keep your distance?
Thank you 💛

ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ꜰᴏʀɢᴇᴛ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙʟᴀɴᴋɪᴇ!

Hello peeps, I was chatting to a freind recently who was telling me about meeting a new puppy in their neighbourhood. Nice. She also mentioned that although puppy had been with them since Xmas time they were only now getting out and about. Up until now it's been garden time only.

I think a lot of people find this aspect of early socialisation and habitutation really confusing. It's understandable. You're warned about all the nasties little pups can pick up in the environment before their complete set of vaccinations provides some cover. And that's a fair point. BUT-

You could be missing out on some important early exposure. By taking some sensible precautions and making sure you make outings and encounters with new experience positive and listen to how your puppy is feeling you CAN get puppy out and about.
In doing so you'll be opening up the world for them in a gentle way.

They're less likely to really freak out when you start their little walks proper. Simply carry them around your immediate neighbourhood.
So here's a few more ideas:
Take them to a park bench - and just sit for a little while watching the world go by. Take a blanket.

Take them to a pet shop - pop them in a trolley making a cosy donut with their blanket wheel them around slowly.

Do the same at a garden centre.

Go to the supermarket (you'll need two of you), while one of you nips in for a few groceries the other can sit with puppy on their lap, held towards the window and watch the comings and goings.

Take them to a dog friendly pub or cafe - don't forget the blankie!

Keep all exposures short and sweet.
Pick quiter times.
Allow people to greet puppy sparingly. Not everyone gets to touch them, advocate for your puppy and make sure they're 1. not uncomfortable or afraid. 2. becoming over stimulated.

Keep it all low key and smooth.
Oh and put them in their walking gear, harness, collar and lead on these outings too. So they're getting used to wearing these well before the first walk. Pop collar and harness on and off ad how at home too.

That's it I shall stop nagging, but if you have a new puppy or making plans for one. Get Them Out there!

Sunday sunshine calls for a lakeside amble. It almost felt like Spring out there! Well once we'd waded through the muddy bits it's was lush - hope you're all having a lovely Sunday too.

This is what a successful Separation Anxiety Training Session looks like.
Exciting hey?
She's not asleep here, but she is very relaxed and that's exactly what we want.
It may not seem very exciting or dynamic-but for me it is. I'm really, really happy when I'm viewing scenes like these.
This little sweetie is naturally very alert, active and vigilent. She's very atuned to monitoring her peoples movements around the home and super aware of any activity outside too.
She wants to be in on ANY action.
But here we see her able to let go and chill while her person is going through the exercises.
So while this might look a bit boring, we say boring is good! It's very, very good.

Hellooo everyone. A belated Happy New Year to all! I know January can be a tough old, long month for some, (though it HAS finally stopped raining so that's good at least).
But I thought I'd share a link to an app I've been using for a couple of months. Not only does it keep track of your dog walking routes and times, but also rewards you for your efforts. Every little helps! Only available for UK people.
