Wednesdays Have Turned Into “Wondering Wednesdays” And I Will Post Many Questions Into The Future 😍
I Was Walking The Dogs In A Field One Day And Someone Appeared With What Looked Like A Jack Russell Mix, It Clocked Us And Set Off Barking As Usual.. Instead Of Doing The Decent Thing And Calling Her Dog Back, She Shouted Over For Me “Not To Worry, He’s Protecting Me” 🥴
It Isn’t The First Time This Assumption Has Been Made About A Dog Reacting At A Situation.. And Thats Exactly What They Are Doing Reacting Impulsively To A Situation - Not Protecting You Unfortunately 🤷♀️
Can Dogs Protect You? Absolutely! With A Great Deal Of Obedience Combined With Protection Training Which Will Cost You Into The Thousands For A Decent Result. If You Train A Dog To Protect You, They Work In Specific Pictures And Dont Explode At Anything That Moves - They Are Confident, Self Assured And Know Exactly What A Threat Is.. By Their Owners Guidance 🤦♀️
Without Any Training You’ve Just Got Yourself A Reactive Dog, Reactive Dogs Are Usually Scared And Lack Impulse Control Making Them A Liability Off A Lead! Train Your Dogs Guys - It Makes A Better World For Them And For Us ❤️

Negativity Can Really Strip Away From Who You Are, We See It In Humans And I See It In Dogs 🐶
As Part Of The Training Process, With ALOT Of Dogs We Have To Build Them Back Up Into The Dog They Was Before The World Got It’s Hands On Them! 🤞
Elvis Was A Nervous Wreck From Start To Finish On His Walks, He Was Hyper Vigilant On Things Coming His Way Which Really Took The Joy Out Of His Walks And It Took The Sparkle Out Of Him.. It’s Exhausting Being Worried 24/7 😱
Elvis Is A Working Labrador So Bringing Him Back To His Roots And Giving Him A Job Which Satisfies His Innate Instincts Is A Good Place To Start!
Elvis Has A Little Ducky That He Will Retrieve So We Started There, As You Can See In The Beginning He Would Run For It But Fail To Return It 😂
We Had To Train Behaviours With Markers And Chain Them All Together, He Needed To Be Confident Enough To Hold, Motivated Enough To Retrieve And Return It To His Owner ✨
We Built The Picture & Elvis’ Instincts Did The Rest, My Heart Melted When I Saw The End Clip When His Owner Sent It! Just A Lad Finding His Happy Back In The World Again ❤️

For Anyone Who Needs To Hear It..
Spring Is Coming ❤️
One Things That Humans Aren’t Good At Is “Living In The Moment”
Allowing Yourself To Be Present, Being Conscious Of The Moment, Being Completely Still And Free From Any Internal Dialogue Sounds Simple But To Do It Needs Mental Clarity.
Finding Your Inner Peace/Inner Calm Takes Time And Patience, Once You Find It - Never Let It Go 🩵
Just Appreciating This Moment For What It Is 😍
Untrained & Offlead Dogs Are One Thing And One Thing Only - A Liability ‼️
Unfortunately Due To A Lack Of Education Surrounding Dog Behaviour It Has Turned Into A Rare Instance For A Strange Dog To Intrude Your Space To A More Common Scenario For You To Deal With..
We Come Across These Situations Too.
You Can’t Control Other People Or Their Dogs But You Can Control The Outcome If You Know How.
In Order For Your Dog To Listen To You In These Heightened Instances They MUST Trust That You Can Keep Them Safe Otherwise They Will Fend For Themselves - Who Could Blame Them?
When This Dog First Approached I Recalled Bexley To Me, As “Storm” Got Closer Completely Ignoring Her Owner Standing There And Shouting I Put Myself Between Bex And Other Dog And Stood My Ground. Remaining Calm In Body And Voice Reassures Your Dog Rather Than Becoming High Rate.
Stood Still We Became Boring To The Other Dog And Off She Went. Had We Of Walked Away This Dog Would’ve Become Intised By Our Movements And Would’ve Probably Come Closer.
There Has Been Instances Where They Have Come Closer And I’ve Had To Use My Body And Legs As A Block And A Way To Remove The Threat!
If Your Bombarded By A “Don’t Worry He’s Friendly” Here Are Some Simple Step By Steps To Help You ⬇️
✅ Carry A Spare Slip Lead To Take Control
✅ Put Yourself Inbetween Your Dog & Theirs
✅ Remain Calm And Stand Strong
✅ If The Dog Takes A Step Closer, Claim That Space By Taking A Step Towards
✅ Movement And High Voices Cause Excitement, Be Silent, Strong In Body Language And Still!
Secure Fields Are A Fabulous Way For You And Your Dog To Have Fun Together Without Constantly Looking Over Your Shoulder For A Rogue Dog Impacting Your Walks. All Too Often In The Secure Fields Dogs Can Be Left To Their Own Devices To Entertain Themselves When It Is A Great Opportunity To Interact! We Had A Little Session Working On Bexley’s Confidence On Unsteady Surfaces, At First You See Her Duck Out To Find A Easier Way To Get What She Wants, But We Like A Challenge! Problem Solving & Confidence Building Is A Great Outlet For Your Dog To Use Their Senses And Work On Balance. It’s Also A Great Way To Improve Your Dogs Trust In You To Guide Themselves. If At First You Dont Succeed, Keep Pushing And Trying - The Mountain Top Gets Closer 😍 #confidencebuilding #RelationshipBuilding #problemsolving #balance #worktogether #WorkTogetherGrowTogether
There’s Usually More That Meets The Eye 👀
When It Comes To Tackling Any Behavioural Problem You Have To Pick Away To The Root Of The Issue.. With Alfie And Milo There’s Lots To Chip Away At!
Milo Is One Of Two Littermates Owned By The Same Owner. Unfortunately Through Bad Breeding Practises, Early Life Experiences And A Lack Of Training Or Exposure They Have 2 Very Fear Aggressive Litter Mates Who Now Cant Stand The Sight Of Each Other 🙄
Both Learnt To Be Reactive To The Front Door And Not Long After Reactive To What Came Through The Door, This Behaviour Pattern Definitely Played Into Their Reactivity Outdoors. Both Dogs Are Mega Lead Pullers, The Tension On The Lead Makes Each Dog Feel Trapped And A Scared Dog Who Feels Trapped Likely Will Pick Fight As A Response As Flight Is Taken Away 😱
Milo Was Always Too Stressed For Any Food Or Play, Slowing Him And His Brain Down Aswell As Introducing A Tool He Could Understand And Respond Too Has Changed The Game And We Are Seeing Flickers Of Engagement Poke Through - Next Stop Distractions 😙
Great Job Milo ❤️
If One Thing Makes You Smile Today It Is This ❤️
