Clarity Canine Education

Are you making these mistakes? ⤵️ Before I share these mistakes, make sure you're following Clarity Canine Education if you want to take your nervous dog from fearful and anxious to calm and confident. 💪 Here are the 3 biggest mistakes holding you back from making progress with your nervous dog: 1️⃣ You haven't diagnosed the type of nervous behaviour. Without truly understanding the type of nervous behaviour your dog has, you won't know which approach is going to work and which approach is going to do nothing at all for your dog. This can leave you trying things for weeks or months that may work for others but won't work for you. 2️⃣ You don't have a clear communication system. If you aren't successfully implementing efficient 2-way communication with your dog, you have no ability to influence their behaviour and give them apropriiate feedback to guide them through the situations they find tough. 3️⃣ You haven't established an unbreakable bond. If your dog doesn't truly trust you, they'll never have the support they need from you to handle challenges and be successful. If one or more of these elements are missing for you, comment SUPPORT and I'll let you know exactly how you can start building these foundations today to help you and your dog start living a fuller, stress-free life together. 🙌

You don't want to miss this ⤵️ The discount code is at the bottom of this caption, but first I want to explain my WHY behind this course... When I first started fostering rescue dogs, I saw a lot of different nervous behaviours. In learning and helping those dogs and later going on to help hundreds of adopters of rescue dogs, I've learnt a lot about helping nervous dogs overcome fears and build confidence. While more and more people are adopting rescue dogs these days and need this kind of help, there are few dog professionals with experience or speciality in nervous rescue dogs. Too many people say they want my help but cannot access me because they live across the country or even abroad. So over the last 6 months, I have been pouring my everything into developing this in-depth self-paced online course called "Nervous No More" so I can help rescue adopters like you anywhere in the world help your nervous dog overcome their fears and live a life full of confidence! Nervous No More is the resource I wish I had available to me when I was trying to help my first nervous foster dog and I really struggled to find the right answers. Comment or message me "NNM" for more information on the course and for a discount code available this week only! #rescuedog #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #adoptdontshop #dogtraining

I see far too many people rehoming a dog they only recently got because it does not get along with their first dog. Can you imagine if you were randomly paired up with someone to live with - What are the odds you'd be best friends? Or even friendly? It is naïve to think that any two dogs put together will get along. And my opinion is that it is irresponsible to get a second dog, test it out with the resident dog for a couple weeks, and then move it on to another home when it's not a great fit. You may have a longer history and a stronger bond with your first dog, but the new dog depends on you and needs you just as much. Usually, in these scenarios, people are going in assuming the dogs will get along - the dogs meet right away, they are allowed to freely be around each other in the house, they are fed together, etc. All of these situations are setting the dogs up for potential issues, especially initially while both dogs are stressed by the sudden change in routine and environment. When bringing a second dog into the house, if you instead assume that they will not get along with the resident dog, you implement structure and safety - no initial meetings inside, plenty of time and space apart, monitored and measured interaction, always separated when unspervise, no shared access to resources, etc. By taking this approach, you set yourself up for less chance of issues and conflict, and can then ensure success even if the dogs you have are not naturally compatible because they will at least learn neutrality and tolerance around each other, which means you can successfully live with both dogs in the same household. Even if the dogs will never get along well enough to be left unsupervised together or fed together, these are management steps you need to be willing to implement potentially indefinitely to keep both dogs safe and happy together rather than giving one of them up because they cannot be friends. #dogtraining #rescuedog #dogtrainingtips #dogtraini
