Not everything that is on sale is good for dogs!

Pet shops sell peanut butter with palm oil, which is harmful to dogs!

Whatever you want to get for your dog, think, "If I were him, I would feel..." Dogs are emotional and aware of everything around them. They are not robots; they have brains the same as humans. They are like little kids whom you need to teach to build confidence, trust, and love.
Don't expect they understand everything what you want from them. 🙏🏻❤️

Think: Don't follow trends to increase profits for companies that don't care about dogs and their emotions.

JUST BECAUSE WE *CAN* DO SOMETHING, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE *SHOULD*.

I've been seeing an increasing number of posts recently which have really concerned me, with guardians sharing photographs of their dogs in very uncomfortable, stressful situations, openly mocking and ridiculing their dog for their reactions and obvious discomfort. A particular scenario which seems popular right now is the use of a grooming sling to suspend dogs in the air to immobilise them while their nails are clipped. In many of the images shared, the dog's look petrified while they are handled, unable to do a thing to protect themselves or make themselves understood. This is flooding, and places them at a real risk of emotional shutdown and learned helplessness.

Whatever it is that we are setting out to achieve, there are always alternative ways of doing things. Instead of using a grooming sling in this way, why not train your dog to use a scratch board? It is easy to use, simple to teach, and gives the dog an interactive way to shorten his nails, rather than forcing him to accept it by rendering him powerless and removing all choice from him.

Another option is to condition a nail file or a dremel, if it is the clippers rather than the handling element which he dislikes. Working through a programme of cooperative care gives your dog the power to signal when he is ready for you to proceed and when he needs you to stop. Equipment as well as handling can be slowly conditioned to help him feel safe and comfortable with the whole process in systematic, sub-threshold steps.

I know that we just have to get things done sometimes, but we need to consider what the best option is for our dog, what the most ethical route is, and what he will cope with, rather than what is most convenient for us.

Despite what we now know about sentience in animals, there remains a real disregard for emotional welfare amongst many, and a persistent focus on achieving behaviours. When issues arise, we need to identify the root cause and try to understand why they might be occurring, rather than jumping in head first with a quick fix, without any real thought or regard for physical and emotional safety.

Advice is often given with the focus on how something can be fixed and what is easiest for the human. However, we should be advocating for a more empathetic approach - alternatives which do not compromise the dog's physical and emotional welfare, do not fail to meet the five freedoms, and do not result in flooding.

Just because we CAN do something, it doesn't mean that we SHOULD.

Why do I love dog training so much? Because it is not about the "I say, you do" approach.🤨

It is much more than that. It is about understanding the dog's personality. Each dog learns differently. It is like detective work, understanding their communication signals—their body language—and translating it to owners.✨️🫶🏻

Especially with rescue dogs, it is about creating a safe space and ensuring that everything the owner does is safe.❤️

We have Daphne here, a rescue dog. She is an extremely smart dog. However, she had insecurity and a lack of trust. The training and energy healing helped her build trust and feel safe again. Her confidence increased, too.🥳♥️

How did we do it? We adjusted our movements and body language to avoid triggers and, at the same time, built her confidence that she is safe and can make decisions. 🙌🏻
Energy healing just released trapped emotions that were blocking her and keeping her in the past. ✨

Dog training is not about "doing what I say"; it is about paying attention to emotions, personality, and soul. It is about finding the best way to guide owners to build an unbreakable connection and relationship with their dog. ♥️

That's what dog training is about: creating a relationship based on respect, clear communication, and love.🫶🏻✨️❤️

When you have a woman with a character, be ready for everything. 😂

Lexi decides to change her perfume and even where she applies it, from neck to leg! 😂😂😂😂

Smart woman. Stay a while longer than on a jumper. 😂

Not to mention that she chose a perfect time for it, just before going to clients. 🙄

I guess she hoped she would be even longer with that amazing new smell. I have to disappoint you; years of experience taught me to have 30 minutes extra, just in case. 😂😂😂😂

She wasn't happy in the bath and was 🤨 most of the day. 🤣

Well, I am not a fan of foxypoo perfume.😂

Do you have the same problem, be trendy with the season 😂😂

Who prefers watching your sleeping dog more than TV?

Me! 😂😂😂😂

I just can't take my eyes off her, especially when I can see her smile or tongue. 😂

Please tell me I'm not the only one. 🤔😂😂😂

Feel free to share your sleeping Beauty. 😀

Oscar's journey is a story of hope, patience, and healing.💛

After countless tests—blood work, ultrasounds, CT scans, and even an MRI—Oscar's vet diagnosed him with an unspecified eating disorder. It was a challenging time for his owner​s, filled with uncertainty and worry as Oscar went through phases of barely eating, losing weight, and being restless. As a last hope, they contacted me after hearing about my work in a Facebook group. Sceptical at first, they decided to try holistic healing—and what a journey​.

Oskar's healing began with identifying and releasing the trapped emotions and trauma that were deeply affecting his well-being.

In his first session, we uncovered and released 106 emotions.
The second session- 236 trapped emotions, and in the third, we released 136 more emotions from the "Trauma Energy List Chart".
In total, 478 trapped emotions blocked his ability to eat food.😢

Oscar's severity level was at a maximum of 10 when we started, but we steadily brought it down through these three sessions. Each layer of emotional release brought him closer to balance and well-being, allowing his body to feel safe and supported and able to eat food free from trauma. 🥳🤩

During 1st session, I understood why he couldn’t eat. He had a traumatic experience with the food, and that memory blocked him from eating. 💔
It was heartbreaking but also hopeful because I knew we could release it. 💞

And then, the moment we had all been waiting for—Oscar started eating consistently. He began putting on weight, and his owner noticed a profound change. He was calm and happy, both at home and out in the world. 😍😍😍😍😍😍

The transformation was incredible. Oscar’s story is a beautiful reminder of how much healing can change lives—not just for our dogs, but for their families too. 😊

For those who wonder if healing could be the answer for their dog, Oscar’s journey shows what’s possible when we address the emotional layers at the heart of their struggles. 😊

I’m here to help you, too. Dogs deserve emotional freedom🫶.

Dogs' world is beautiful and unique, like the ADHD or ASD brain. They learn through different approaches. You try, observe, and then adjust. This is how you learn their language, their world, to create a loving and respectful place to be, to live.❤️✨️

You might wonder why I compare ADHD and ASD to the dog world? Hmmm, because I know those worlds very well, as my daughter has them. To be honest, she showed me how similar their brains are. Of course, not in every aspect, but in most. I found it really fascinating. 🤩

Thanks to her, I understand dogs' language even better (on top of what I have learned from IMDT) and what I feel from them (I can hear their whispered words).

They have their own beautiful space, which I explain in my "10 Golden Rules" to make it easier for you to learn their language.🙌🏻

To be honest, you need to learn what they tell you; otherwise, they will be frustrated. I know you don't want that.🫣

Feel free if you have any questions. Enjoy those "10 Rules " 😉😀

When you bring a new puppy into your life, but carry the trauma of a past dog experience (dog attack, illness, or even the heartbreaking death of a beloved dog), it can create an invisible barrier without noticing.

That unhealed pain can affect your relationship with the new puppy. Instead of building a bond of trust, you'll find yourself projecting fear and overprotectiveness, unintentionally causing pain which can block their ability to grow, explore, and build confidence.

It is similar to relationships with people. If we don't heal from a past breakup, we step into new connections carrying old wounds, making it impossible to fully commit and risking repeating the same patterns.

Healing is essential. By listening to your own emotional scars, you open yourself to hearing yourself and heal the pain. Don't rush; don't try to avoid the pain. It will return through different triggers.

Your puppy doesn’t know your past, nor should they live in the shadow of it. They deserve your unconditional love and trust, and you deserve the joy of a stress-free, flourishing bond.💞

Heal yourself, so you and your puppy can connect together. Create that unbreakable connection from a place of love, not fear or pain.

I am always here to support you and help you to heal. 🙏

Your dog doesn't see you outside, and you are invisible during recall. You prefer to have him/her on lead rather than off lead. 🫣

Hmm. I will teach you 3 simple ways to build amazing and loving recall, and your dog will love you. It is all about emotions and fun, not cold structure. 😉

Just try the "Pawsitive recall" and follow the steps 💪🥰

Transform your dog’s recall skills with our proven, positive reinforcement methods and build a lasting bond that ensures they always come back to you, no matter the distractions!

🌟 Meet Tedi's Transformation 🌟

Today, I want to share the heartwarming story of Tedi—a beautiful dog who started a journey of healing and transformation. 🐾

When Tedi came to me, he was overwhelmed by anxiety, reactive barking, and the emotional weight of grief after losing his lifelong companion. To make things more challenging, Tedi had recently experienced a big home move and was adjusting to new surroundings and the hormonal changes in his pregnant owner’s scent. All of this added to his stress and insecurity.

We worked deeply over four energy healing sessions to release his trapped emotions. Here's a glimpse of what we achieved together:

✨ Session 1: Released 158 emotions
✨ Session 2: Released 213 emotions
✨ Session 3: Released 204 emotions
✨ Session 4: Released 251 emotions
In total, 826 emotions were set free! "Frustration" and "Shame" were the most repeatedly released emotions.

Tedi had a Bach Remedies helper, too. These gentle herbal remedies help with emotions on different levels.
We did some video training and guidance on how to communicate with him, as he clearly said what he doesn't like during healing sessions. 🤭

And the result? Tedi is now a calmer, more relaxed dog. His owner is overjoyed to see him enjoying life again, and even their friends have noticed his new chill vibe! 🐶💖

Energy healing is a gentle yet powerful way to help our dogs overcome the fears, stress, and behaviours that hold them back. It's incredible to witness them shine and live lives filled with joy and peace.

If your dog could use a little extra help finding their calm, I’m here to help. They deserve happiness again! 🐕✨

Hi!
Winter can be tough on our dogs' paws.
With -1°C outside and salt sprinkled on the pavements to prevent slips, we need to pay extra attention to their paw health.

Salt can dry out and irritate their pads, causing discomfort.

✅️ After your walk, simply wipe their paws with a damp cloth.

✅️ Apply some paw balm to keep them moisturized and comfy.

❗️Don’t forget to trim the hair around their paws to prevent snow from clumping into uncomfortable balls.

❤️🙏🏻Let’s make sure those paws stay healthy and happy—because happy paws mean happy walks!

Enjoy frosty mornings 🥰

I have to admit, my Lexi is very creative and smart.

Too cold on the grass (she always does a bow position), so why not bring it home? 🤔😆

Does your dog do the same?

Great news always melts my heart!

I have to admit, my journey as a dog energy healer (and dog trainer) has taken a beautiful twist. I recently had the honour of working with a cat named Frodo, and his healing journey was magical. Frodo showed me just how emotionally sensitive cats can be, and how transformative healing is for them too.

Frodo had been struggling—grieving the loss of his lifelong companion, Jack, while adjusting to a new home. His stress even caused a rash on his back during the owner's trip. His owner contacted me, wondering if I could help, even though I mostly work with dogs. And, of course, I said yes!

Using the Emotion Code-energy healing, we released Frodo’s trapped emotions, allowing him to let go of the grief and stress. And the results?

✨The rash disappeared within days.
✨Frodo is now calm, curious, and much happier.
✨He’s even growing closer to his owner, sharing a deeper bond than before.

🥰This just proves that healing isn’t limited to dogs. Cats feel just as deeply, and they, too, can experience incredible transformations when we help them release their emotional burdens.

So, if you’re wondering whether your cat—or any animal—could benefit from healing, I’m here to help. Every animal deserves peace, and freedom from any emotional pain.😍

With Love,
Agnes

I'm getting too old, or time is speeding up.🙈😤

We still have 3 hours, so hopefully, you can see it and apply to help your dog.

Remember, Rescue Remedy is very handy for dogs, too.

Have a wonderful night 🎊✨️🍾🎉

Knowing your self-worth is so important in life.

✨ It is confidence.
✨ It is empathy.
✨ It is everything what you give to the world and what the world gives back to you.

You need to have that so you can build strong bond with your dog.

For example: Insecurity creates anxiety, which influences dogs as they can smell fear, and this can cause barking and lunging outside. We influence on our dogs.

So how often you say to yourself, "I love you"?
How do you think about yourself?
How do you speak to yourself?

With Love,
Agnes ♥️
