I'm baaaaack! 😁 Today is my first full day back after my annual leave.

I got back to this lovely photo of Chief 🥰 who was one of my former intermediate class attendees. His lovely family told me that they are still working on all the skills that they learnt in classes. Here's Chief demonstrating some excellent impulse control with treats on his paws and in front of him! 🙌

Well done guys, you always gave it your all in classes and achieved fabulous results! You get out what you put in with training 💪.

"They just adore each other" 😍

Do they? 🤔
Sometimes we really want to see signals that just aren't there.

We may focus on one area....like a wagging tail, because it "confirms" what we hope is true.
The reality though is scared, conflicted or anxious dogs can and often do wag their tails.

Unsure what's occurring?
In moments like these....the majority "rules".

A dog "backing away" ?
That can be a pretty clear signal for us to pay attention to.
It can even be combined with a little "happy dance".
That pattering and quick plods....those fast moving feet?

It can look playful but can mean your dog is unsure or even uncomfortable with what is happening.

Scroll back a few posts.
Look at ways to support those nervy greeters.
There are lots of ideas for that on this page.

Forcing interactions is never a way to fast track anything positive.

It's important that you help your dog maintain a nice positive association with their vet as this can help your dog (and your vet team) when they need treatment! 💉💊

I took Leia for a walk up to Belle Vue Vets - Pets the other day where we did some training near the entrance to build her confidence. Well done Leia! 🤩❤️

Congratulations to our intermediate class graduates - Brodhi, Brucey and Skully!! They have all done brilliantly!! 🎓🎓🎓

Here they are completing one of their final tasks - walking at loose lead whilst their owners had a full cup of water they had to avoid spilling!! Super proud of this lovely lot! 🤩

🌡️🥵Due to the hot weather, I have taken the decision to cancel the rest of today's sessions.🥵🌡️

We have a strong welfare ethic and will not put your dog at risk. Please be sensible and do not walk your dog or take them to events in this heat. Check out this guide from the lovely team at Belle Vue Vets - Pets 👇

🔥Heat Stroke Awareness🔥

We are all hoping to receive some hot weather at some point this year and when we do, we need to be prepared!☀️

As it is now July, we need to be more careful when we are in the heat with our pets. Here is our Belle Vue Vets thermometer which shows you the safest temperatures for your furry friends.🌡

Hi lovely people,

Running a small business in the current financial climate is tough and it's getting even harder with Facebook as posts are not reaching the intended audience.

I would really appreciate it if my friends, followers & clients could help my business. Only takes seconds, costs nothing but would mean a lot!

It would be fabulous if you could:

🐾 Go to the main part of my business page Canine Understanding

⭐CLICK FOLLOW⭐

🐾 Next to the “Follow” option you will see 3 dots ••• click on them.
🐾 Click 'INVITE FRIENDS'.
🐾 Click ‘ALL'.
🐾 Wait 10-15 seconds for the invitations to send.

Thank you so much 🐕❤️
