Wellness Friday with Klaudia 💗

Adding seafood to your dogs diet in either raw, cooked or powdered form adds a lot of benefits such as:

- Omega3 which reduce inflammation

salmon has great levels of omega3 which can help reduce inflammation and help dry and flaky skin

- green lipped mussels reduce inflammation, aid join movement and cartilage regeneration

- sardines, sprats, smelt are small oily fish with high levels of omega3 that help reduce inflammation, aid skin and coat health and eye health too. These fish are also low in heavy metals unlike tuna!

-

mackerel and all the other fish are high in vitamin D and B12 which help the immune system and reduce inflammation

oysters are another great one with high levels of zinc

which helps the immune system as a whole Always start of small with any new fish and watch for any allergic reactions in dogs such as diarrhea, itchy skin, gas etc

Collaboration over competition - always
The pet industry isn’t just about services, training, or businesses… it’s about community.
When trainers, walkers, groomers, sitters, and pet professionals support each other, the real winners are the animals we care for.
No one can do it all — and we don’t need to. By collaborating, sharing knowledge, and lifting each other up, we create better experiences for pets and their humans alike. Stronger support, happier dogs, and less stress for everyone involved.
At GooDog Training Academy, we truly believe that working together helps us grow, learn, and provide the very best care. Collaboration builds trust, confidence, and a pet industry rooted in kindness and respect

Here’s to partnerships, friendships, and putting pets first — always.

Time for a wellness Friday with Klaudia💗
Today's topic is very important specifically for large and giant breeds.

Large and giant dog breeds with deep, narrow chests are at the highest risk of bloat (GDV), including Great Danes, Saint Bernards, Weimaraners, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Wolfhounds, and Bloodhounds. Bloat typically progresses in three phases, starting with anxiety, restlessness, a swollen abdomen, and repeated unsuccessful attempts to belch or vomit. As it worsens, dogs may show excessive drooling and a rapid heartbeat, and in severe stages this can lead to weakness, shortness of breath, and pale gums. Bloat is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate veterinary care, often involving relieving pressure on the stomach, treating shock, IV fluids, and in many cases emergency surgery to correct stomach rotation and prevent further damage.

Fireworks anxiety

Supporting dogs with the right nutrients and herbs helps their bodies cope with stress more naturally. For best results, calming supplements should be introduced before fireworks season and paired with a safe environment, routine, and reassurance.

Thank you to all the wonderful dogs and their amazing owners for an incredible 2025. We shared so many great moments together, and our social walks this year were truly special. I’m so grateful for the fun, the friendships, and all the wagging tails 🐾

Christmas tricks ❤️❤️
Highly recommend Dogsercise

So, my car has decided it wants a new timing chain. 🙄With the year it’s been, I have depleted my savings to build us a home and this repair can cost up to 1000€ (which I currently don’t have).

I’m doing a virtual Christmas Tricks class next Tuesday evening and would be very grateful if you join! Dogsercise isn’t just a dream of mine offering dogs appropriate outlets and educating guardians. It’s also my bread and butter. We all had a tough year and us small business get hit harder by the economic crisis than the big ones.

Please consider booking in for the class, getting a voucher for a friend or gifting a course/workshop/membership to a loved one. You’d really help a mum out getting her car fixed and putting food on the table.

Thank you so much!

Many of you asking me : Do I need any special equipment for training sessions?

Nope — you really don’t need fancy equipment for a dog training session 😊
What matters most is consistency, timing, and clear communication, not gear.

The basics (usually enough)

A regular leash & collar or harness (whatever your dog already uses)

High-value treats -small, soft pieces your dog loves (chicken, cheese, store-bought treats)

A quiet space for a start ( less distractions = better learning)

Your attention & patience (genuinely the MOST important tools

Nice-to-have (but optional)

Treat pouch - with a easy access

Clicker – helpful for precise timing, but your voice (“yes!”) works just as well

Long leash – useful later for recall training outdoors

A mat or bed – great for teaching “place” or calm behaviors

What you DON'T need:

Shock collars,

Complex obstacle equipment for basic obedience

A professional setup to start training effectively

Pro tip

Short sessions (5–10 minutes), repeated daily, beat long “fancy” sessions every time.
