I hope you have all had a lovely week and enjoyed the slightly nicer weather. Here's a bit about my week off 😆

Sometimes it's not as complicated as we think it is....
I've just been away with my dogs for a few days.
One was starting to show reluctance to get in the car. Was it the trauma and association of being scared by the planes? Was it because they couldn't jump in the boot, were they sore? Or was it the damp towel at the front of the boot which although not stinky to me, actually was to the dog 🤔
Yep, you guessed, moved the towel ans now in no problem!
The other isn't eating breakfast anymore. She's recently been quite ill. Is she OK? Is she not quite right still? Or is it because the platter plate was used to offer her foods when she still wasn't feeling well enough.
Yep! Used a different bowl after she refused again today and ta-dah! It's all eaten!
It's easy to get caught up in other meanings, but sometimes it really is just this simple

Absolute beginner and a seasoned sniffer.
Both worked fabulously at the July workshop 😍
Spaces available for August 😉
I've been helping you all for a full 7 years today!!
Thank you to each and every one of you who has given me the privilege of helping you and your dogs over the last 7 years!
This last year has seen a rebrand to reflect the focus around working with the whole of the dog, not just training an outcome 🥰 it sits much happier with me 🐾🐶🐾
As I said last year, I don't just look at stopping the behaviours you contact me about. Those behaviours are a symptom of something. I find the root of the symptoms and resolve that, reducing not only the 'problem' behaviour but others as well, leaving you all much less stressed 💖
The past year has also seen much more learning around the ins and out of canine physiology and psychology and applying that knowledge to help your dogs have even more lasting success 🙌 The moment your trainer/behaviourist stops learning, that's the moment you find a new one 😆
The coming year will see some big things and I'll be stepping outside my safe zone much more. I'll share more with you all in good time 😉
Here's to year 8 and many many more harmonious human/dog households 😍🐶🎉🐾🥳🎂

The end of a training session is important.
It cements the learning which has taken place together with maintaining the association that training is the best 💞
After working on touch sensitivity and building confidence around people, we ended this session with some casual scent work. He absolutely loved it 🎉🥰🐾🐕
Fulfilling his dna needs, adding more fun, more confidence 💜
How do you end your sessions?

Friday summary
What's coming
Where are you on your journey?
Super star Bodhi rocks his training in the real world 🌟🤩
This is a tiny video from his follow up last week.
Bodhi can be selective in who he reacts to and who is safe when it comes to dogs. I want to give a huge shout out to him and his pet parent for the progress they have made.
No training plan goes perfectly, life always throws things in the path!
But I have seen Bodhi react, and I can see how amazing this new response is. Has his initial emotional response changed yet? A little. Is it perfect? Nope, its real life, this was not a set up scenario. Has his choice in how to deal with a situation changed? Absolutely 💯
Tell mum, she will deal with it for me. I'm safe and I'm supported 💜
This is a solid foundation and a great relationship between dog and human. This is when I know the partnership will go far in their goals 😍
Well done both 👏

Beautiful weather for class this morning 🥰
I'm trying to learn to make reels. What do we think?!? 🙈😂
A couple more graduates who snuck in just before Easter!!
Gorgeous pups who were both eager to learn 😍 bestest humans with them too 💜
What does a walk with your dog look like?
Want to create a better connection?
A dog that listens more?
A dog that thinks you are the fun?
Then you need to do more than just walk along next to your dog.
Share in the comments what you get up to on your walks 😍
