Did you know that dogs who have experienced trauma require a level of support that is beyond the limits of basic manners and what some may call "obedience" training (A term that sends shivers down my spine, I for one do not want my dog to obey me).
A dog whose underlying cause of behaviour is due to trauma needs to feel safe and secure before any training takes place.
The person you are seeking guidance from needs to be aware of how trauma impacts on the brain and nervous system and know what to look for with regards to a dog's body language and fear responses.
Please do your research be aware of the methods they use, be aware of the terms they use and if they make a judgement and label your dog's behaviour without first carrying out an assessment within the dogs own environment and without gathering detailed information then walk away and find someone that will.
Be your dog's advocate. ❤🐾

When you're that age where you think you can zoomie like a two year old but your body tells you different....hence the "Ohh" sound at the end 🤣🤣

"Who are you calling old" 🤨

Harvey is 16yrs old and still going strong ....
He still throws his toys down the stairs every morning as in invite to play.
He still does the zoomies and pulls like a steam train when he sees his favourite people on a walk.
He is still as cheeky as ever, with a glint and a wink in his eye that you can't resist.

I seriously think his batteries will run out way before he feels the need to slow down. 🤣😍🥰🤣

So true, yet so many people think training as there first port of call. Some behaviours are a welfare issue not a "training" issue.

While dog training plays a vital role in shaping behaviour and building a harmonious relationship, it’s essential to remember that dogs are complex, sentient beings with emotional, social, and physical needs.

Beyond training, we must consider their overall well-being, including providing mental stimulation, exercise, a balanced diet, and opportunities to express natural behaviours.

Emotional health, such as feeling safe and loved, is equally important. Building trust, fostering communication, and recognising each dog’s individuality allow us to create a holistic approach to care.

Ultimately, understanding and valuing dogs as unique individuals enriches their lives and deepens our connection with them.

Myself and Harvey want to wish you all a very merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Harvey is no doubt going to enjoy opening prezzies and snuffling for treats with the odd snuggle and cuddle to keep him happy.
Enjoy ❤️
