A much needed mini break away in Durham - Tucker loved it! Thank you everyone for being patient with me while I was gone - back to reality with a bump this evening but I'm looking forward to seeing you all for sessions soon.

Struggling with your dog’s reactivity?

We’ve created a free resource that breaks down the most common causes of reactivity — helping you understand the factors that can contribute to this behaviour.

When you understand why your dog reacts, you can finally start to change how they respond.

DM me ‘REACTIVITY’ to get your free guide and start building a calmer, more confident relationship with your dog.

Tucker, Robyn and I took a trip to Blackpool at the weekend to try out for the Crufts Northern Rally Team. I don't have any great hopes of actually making the team, but I am so unbelievably proud of us for showing up and giving it our best shot.

Tucker was fantastic and produced some really nice work - it was our first time doing courses at levels 3 and 4 but he aced it. I made a couple of mistakes (such as missing a sign out) but we finished the courses with a big smile and a happy dog, and that's the main thing.

And of course, we couldn't resist heading out on Saturday night to see the illuminations!

Developing your dog's optimism reaps benefits in all areas of their life. Optimism builds confidence, accelerates learning, and reduces the likelihood of behaviour issues arising.

You can build your dog's optimism by:

🐾 Setting them up to succeed
🐾 Allowing them choice
🐾 Providing positive experiences
🐾 Providing them with safe, fair challenges

The more positive outcomes your dog has, the more optimistic they will feel. This can be applied to everyday activities such as walking, handling, and training.

We can't force a dog to sleep, but we can set them up for success and encourage them to rest.

When we first brought Chase home he was so hypervigilant that he barely rested, instead pacing and barking for hours on end. By setting up safe spaces and making sure his needs were met, we slowly introduced rest time during the day.

The difference the extra sleep made to his wellbeing was enormous - a reminder not to underestimate the importance of this aspect of your dogs routine.

I hope your dogs are enjoying their weekends as much as Tucker has been enjoying his! ❤️🐾
