It has been lovely to begin working with this lovely rescue boy. The owner has previously tried a number of different training methods recommended by trainers and behaviourists which have just not got to the root cause of what has been causing the concerns they have been experiencing. In some situations, they have actually made it worse which was very distressing for the owner.

There are now a number of really positive changes being experienced. This is fantastic and why I love to work with people and their dogs to the depth that we do...because it creates results when we work together.

Doing as much as I can for dogs is essential for me both as a professional, dog owner and dog lover.

Being with the same like minded people who work with integrity is just as essential.

Comparison is the Thief of Joy
(Theodore Roosevelt)

Some of the pressure we can put ourselves under as dog owners, and striving to be the best we can be for our dogs...is comparison.

Comparing how other people are getting on, how other people's dogs learnt to recall when your dog hasn't yet, their dog hasn't stopped toileting in the house but your dog has....the list is endless.

Whilst social media has its uses, it definitely creates unhelpful and unrealistic insights into how others are supposedly succeeding with their dogs all the time irrespective of age, health, breed, background etc.

Be ethical, patient, calm and consistent whilst remembering that you don't need to prove anything to anyone else.

Remembering that each dog we have is going to be different is a huge part of reducing the stress of dog ownership.

We can experience so much worry, confusion and anxiety when we compare our older dog with our new one because we have forgotten they are different and will think and process life differently as well.

Enjoy each dog's individuality and how it wants to learn, express itself and engage with life. Then your own life becomes easier too.

Each dog takes you on a journey of self discovery, if you are prepared to go on it...and it will be fun.

Hi everyone, This video is giving a further insight into why I am putting the 'SHOULD I GET A RESCUE DOG' webinar together for everyone. I look forward to hearing from you x

Daphne is another dog on the Help at Hand for Dogs Rehabilitation Programme. She is now 11 years old and after help in ensuring she was able to settle in to a home (after 8 years in a shed), we have gone through a step by step programme to ensure she calmly engages in new situations, mental stimulation and gets the chance to explore every day life. She is now fully supported with the programme for hydrotherapy which is hugely benefitting Daphne. As you can imagine, after so many years in a confined space her body needs assistance. If you are able to help this happen please donate to: HELP AT HAND FOR DOGS 33673170 20-08-64 This is specifically set up for the rehabilitation programme alone. Or if you prefer Paypal use [email protected], and again that will go to the same account. It doesn't matter how small you feel the donation is, it all helps to make a difference and Help at Hand for #Dogs thanks you for ensuring this can happen. #rescuedogs #rescuedogsofinstagram #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogbehaviour #dogbehaviourist #forcefreetraining #deafnotdifficult #lovedogs

Ricky is another dog on the Help at Hand Rehabilitation Programme. He is in rescue in Shropshire, and came in feeling very unsure, rejected and overwhelmed with what was happening. He responded so well to the work we have been doing, and shows how happy and lovely he is when given a little time. I want to progress this further to incorporate more experiences of life, every day activities etc to help him build confidence and find the home he deserves.

CALM Dogs
CALM Dogs

Whether it is our ability to be calm, or our dogs. The importance is never to be underestimated because it is how we best learn and remember information, become confident and enjoy what we are doing.

When dogs have concerns about something it is easy to think they must confront their fears head on and for the process to be done quickly. But there is a great, and not so stressful way of working with things that help them take their time, sniff and process which I love to work with. This gorgeous girl had a very difficult past and she she had no choice in what she had to deal with. Consequently in a new home where she has been recovering brilliantly with some fabulous people, she can show just how concerned she is about other dogs when out on a walk. So one thing I have always loved to do is let the dogs explore using their noses, so lots of different animal smells get incorporated into a safe place for a sensory exploration! This is Daphne really sniffing and exploring some dog hair at her own pace and really engaging in it with an inquisitive mind, having the chance to process, learn, have the time she needs, sleep if she needs to and just take in all the information that it will provide for her without getting stressed, worried or losing the ability to think clearly through anxiety. It's one of the steps in rehabilitation I have loved to use, and can help these dogs gain confidence slowly but surely whilst they are calm and able to think clearly without over stimulation. #inquisitivedog #dogs #rescuedogs #dogbehaviourist
