I am an internationally certified dog trainer and behaviourist using force free, positive reinforcem
(48)

My love for dogs and their welfare has led me to embark on this journey of becoming a dog trainer. Having faced difficulties with finding the right answers for my doggie related problems in the midst of so many theories on dog training, I am determined to train your dog with love and compassion. Having trained under Shirin Merchant (Canines Can Care), I only use positive reinforcement-based methods while involving the whole family.

The shock collar is at a low setting
I have felt the shock and it’s hardly anything
But there’s nothing to be afraid of, the dog is just being stubborn
The prong corrects the dog like a mother dog would

I was part of a training session where an electronic collar was used for training. I was made to feel the vibration of the collar on my hand before it was put on that dog. It was less than a phones vibration.

In the training session, the dog seemed to be doing better and there was an instant change. But later on, when the dog went home, he retreated into a shell and was never the same. Why am I sharing this story with you all?

Because ONLY THE LEARNER GETS TO DECIDE HOW THE THING BEING TAUGHT FEELS.

September is Animal Pain Awareness Month and the role of pain in our animals life is a complex one. It creeps up in subtle ways and doesn’t show till the animal is in significant amount of pain. Chronic or even acute pain can often go unnoticed but wreak havoc in our dogs lives.

Pain can be of different types depending on its location and effected part of the body. So if you notice anything odd in your dogs behaviour, definitely rule it out as a possible cause.

Also, here are some things to look out for in your dog to rule out pain:

• Limping
• Not wanting to get touched/ becoming aggressive or snappy upon being handled
• Reluctance in climbing stairs/ jumping
• Slipping while trying to stand up
• Irritability
• Twitching
• Excessive licking
• Sudden reactivity / aggression
• Sudden change in habits eg, not enjoying the same food they have been eating

My professional suggestion is that any sudden behaviour change should be investigated as a pain issue and showed to the veterinarian.

If you are confused about whether your dog is in pain or not or you want to understand how pain is effecting your dog and therefore your relationship with them, DM me or book a discovery call using the link in my bio.

Orhan Pamuk said that Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen’

Their behaviours serve a purpose which can be hard to understand and accept sometimes, but that doesn’t not make it real. Yes, it can feel frustrating. It can also feel be painful and downright embarrassing at times.

But the question we need to be asking ourselves to help our dogs is - Why is my dog doing this? What need is not being fulfilled because of which this is happening?

In my consults, I help pet parents understand the answers to these questions. If you find yourself asking similar questions, get in touch with me using the link in my bio or through DM.
