How important really is it to play with your dog everyday?

There are a billion posts on Instagram telling you to play with your dogs so let’s just look at the science instead:

Affenzeller, 2020
Memory of training was stronger in dogs that played with their dog just after learning.

Rooney and Bradshaw, 2001
Dogs scored more highly in ‘obedient attentiveness (sitting when asked to) after playing

Yoo et al., 2024
Playing with a dog positively affected humans concentration and relaxation

Bradshaw et al., 2015
A high me el of play between owner and dog is thought to strengthen their relationship

In conclusion, you should play with your dog today 😏♥️

Insta VS reality…

The stomach scratching was BAD.

Whilst this is just a funny, huge reminder to everyone that everyone on Instagram is showing you a hugely curated version of their lives. Their dogs mess up too, their training isn’t perfect and sometimes they get mum guilt just like you do. I love this app but it’s so important to remember the bigger picture 🙌🏻🤍

Thank you guys for all the help with this one (in particular !)

It’s such a tricky one because there are so many arguments to be made on all sides. I’ve tried to summarise the main ones but if I’ve missed anything or you have a different perspective I’d love to hear it. As always, keep the comments section kind please 🤍

Warm your dogs up!

We know it’s common sense for us to warm up before exercise. I keep seeing clients who are heading straight out the car into a park and getting their dog sprinting around. You are SO much more likely to get injuries this way.

Start with some on lead time if you have to, scatter feed or do some detection work. Get your dog thinking and walking before they’re sprinting around. This will probably help with your engagement too!

This double like Sherpa fleece is SO soft your dog will never want to leave (well Olive doesn’t want to anyway).

Not Just A Dog Bowl…

Did you know ceramic, metal and plastic bowls all allow more bacteria build up than stainless steel bowls? This means that our food-grade stainless steel bowls keep your pets water far fresher for longer!

Does your dog know the word ‘stay’?

Mine do! Crazy for a dog trainer I know.

I decided to teach sit means sit (aka don’t move until your release cue) but I was actually SO inconsistent with using a release word that I was messing up the dogs training. I know this goes against normal dog trainer advice BUT you’ve got to adapt the rules to both the dog in front of you and you yourself. If you’re going to forget to use a release or be inconsistent with it, just use the word stay/ wait! There’s no ‘right’ way of doing things, just do what works for you and the dog 💪🏼

‘I am speed’

Shot by the wonderful

(Rumour has it Holly has some mini canine shoots available in February still if you ask really nicely)

Otis Boatus keeping me company in bed today whilst I have a big day of nothing (ok I might be doing some admin work). Do you ever have those days where you’re not fully ill but know you need to have a day off or you’re going to be really bad the following day?

I’m not sure if any of you have noticed this little change…

I’m officially CFBA accredited! This has been a long process but I’m so proud to be able to share this with you all now. I’m a huge fan of what this organisation promotes for dog trainers AND I am now accepted by most pet insurances.

I cannot thank you all enough- without the forms you filled in, the lovely reviews and the wealth of experience you have given me over the last 6 years this wouldn’t be possible.

If you’d like to find out if canine behaviour therapy is covered by your insurer, give them a call and confirm they accept CFBA (and the terms of this) or give me a call for more info ♥️✨

Is there anything better than a heated bed? Olive thinks not.

Manually set the temperature through our app on your phone, or set it to automatic and it will gauge the right temperature for your room! Pair is with a snuggle sack or your dogs favourite blankets and you’ve got a match made in heaven 😍

How important is it to you that your dog trainer has experience with the breed of dog you have?

How much experience is enough? Aka, would you feel most comfortable if they had owned one, or is having worked with a few enough?

Do you think this is only applicable for the more ‘niche breeds’ that have more unique behaviour?

Would love to know your thoughts!
