I’m very excited to be speaking at the ISCP Big Psychology Summit 2025 this weekend (1-2 Nov). This special summit is a global event exploring canine minds, behaviour, and welfare.

I’ll be joining world-leading experts to share evidence-based insights that advance ethical, force-free canine practice. My talk, ‘From Triggers to Glimmers: Finding Awe on Dog Walks’ focuses on rediscovering connection, presence, and wonder in everyday moments with our dogs.

Glimmers are everywhere. You just need to learn how to look for them.

A tiny moment of awe. Glimmers can change how you’re feeling and even how you are behaving (there is actual science behind this!)

Choosing to navigate life through a ‘glimmer lens’ sends safety cues to our nervous system and strengthens it over time.

On your next walk, try to move from looking for triggers (things that worry your dog) to looking for glimmers.

A little taste of what we just explored over in our Walking into Winter series - the opportunity that looking for instead of triggers on our walks provide.

Do you dread your dog walks?

It can be hard to see a time where they don’t have to be stressful.�But, what if, instead of scanning for triggers, we started noticing glimmers - those tiny moments of calm, joy, and awe that help both us and our dogs feel safe and connected?

Join me tonight as I launch our {free} Walking into Winter series - here to help you have the happiest & healthiest Winter alongside your dog - and I’ll be exploring how micro-moments of awe can rebalance our nervous systems, reduce reactivity, and transform the dog–human bond.

Let’s reframe the walk - from a problem-filled challenge into a daily opportunity for connection, calm, and shared wonder.

See you tonight?

Just about to play catchup on this one! But wanted to post before so didn't share any spoilers 👀

Sarah is absolutely phenomenal at sharing the message of the all the dogs that need space, time and a little bit more understanding. I wonder if they found the home of their dreams while also sharing the story of My Anxious Dog UK?

Well… we’re going to be on the telly!
We’re so excited to share that Dogs in Yellow and My Anxious Dog are appearing on BBC One’s Escape To The Country! 💛
We have been looking for a new home for a while and to have Sonali and the show team helping us was such an amazing experience.
It’s emotional with tears and a lot of laughter, and it’s a way to show the world what Dogs in Yellow is all about: helping anxious dogs feel seen and understood.

Watch at 3pm on BBC One or catch up on iPlayer!

For many of us, sleeping with our dog feels natural. After all, historically dogs would have alerted us to potential dangers so they can make us feel protected. Studies have even shown we might sleep better with a dog next to us instead of another human.

Curling up with your dog at night might feel comforting, it could strengthen your bond, and even help you both relax. But as with most aspects of living alongside dogs, context matters.

In this article, Caroline joins Kinship to explore the times when bed-sharing might not be the best idea.

Considering letting your dog sleep in your bed? Discover when co-sleeping strengthens your bond – and when it may be harming your sleep, safety or your dog’s behaviour
