This morning im walking my dogs (on leash) and we come across this guy walking his 3 dogs off leash.
Im gaging do I keep walking - has he got his dogs under control?
Nope. 2 of them come running.
I shout: “you need to call your dog, mine just had an operation.”
And he did. He mightve done it regardless. But idk i rarely don’t get sh*tty talk back for it. He just instantly called and jumped into action.
Maybe it helps Lenyx looks like a patchwork of stitches lol.
Now here is an idea. Instead of selling harnesses with “not friendly” “dont approach” patches…
Maybe we need to start selling dog adhesive stickers with gruesome stitches and wounds on it so people instantly feel bad if rheir dog approaches you when you’re not interested lol. 😂

If your dog is used to drag you around, pulling into bushes whenever he wants etc. try to start using a simple 'move' command and spatial pressure. It teaches them to respect your space and opens lines of communication. It's a game changer!

Teen Manners is back with these cute faces! 🤩
Actually had a big conversation with Tyler Muto yesterday about teenage dog overexcitement and how to navigate it.
You can listen to it on Consider The Dog (code Sanne for a month free).

Is every walk a chance for your dog to play with people and other dogs?

I'm sharing why I implemented a 'No Greeting' rule for my dog. It's not that greetings are bad, but unnecessary greetings can cause issues. I focus on calm interactions, especially with people we know. Training tips inside!

How cute are these faces?
Harley and Zaavy are my bootcampers for the next few weeks.
Zaavy is joining me for puppy foundations.
Harley is joining me for leash reactivity.
You’ll see updates of these two regularly im sure!
Also I finally did it and joined tiktok because IG is just a hopeless piece of 💩
If you wanna check it out you can find that here. Lol. Rejoice:
I found out how hard it is to get help from strangers for dog training! This video shows why I had to put in the work myself to teach calm greetings. It's tough, but so worth it.

Trying to walk an overexcited dog can be a challenge! It’s all zig-zagging chaos and being hyper whenever they see someone

Okay, I get it—everyone thinks my dog is adorable and wants to meet her. But it's tough managing that excitement. My solution? Limit meet-and-greets to people who are really relevant and willing to put in the work. Otherwise, I avoid them entirely. Works like a charm for me!

I have a rule: if you're not part of my life, please don't greet my dog. It's hard to manage people's impulses, so I have to protect Coco's training.

The Complete Canine
Notice the Change in your Dog
Hi!
I’m Sanne (Sah-nah) founder of ‘The Complete Canine’.
The Complete Canine came to be because of my own dogs Lenyx and Zelda, who are proudly displayed in my logo.
Lenyx and Zelda are my inspiration and my passion. Without them, I wouldn’t have taken the step to go into dog training. Lenyx is this old soul and my heart dog. He is really attached to me and loves his family and isn’t necessarily interested in other dogs (or people) around him. He’s friendly, but selective.
When Lenyx was 7 months he broke his toe and became quite reactive and fearful to touch and vet visits. We called in a trainer to help us with his potential aggression with the vet and saw our dog change drastically. I loved our trainer’s work so much, that I decided, that is what I want to do. Help people, help their dogs.
Zelda is a joy. She’s our Herd2Homes rescue Kelpie x Koolie. She is as extrovert as a dog can be. She is the typical working dog and exactly what I wanted in a working dog, to be able to go sheep herding and hopefully end up doing agility competitions with her. She’s full of beans and has a huge (weird) character.
I thank them everyday for being there for me and making my life richer.
Passion
Teaching and helping people is something that comes naturally to me. I have been a full time primary school teacher for 6 years and the switch to dog training feels like a perfect next step to me, although currently I am balancing it with my fulltime job. I have the right amount of people skills, ability to explain, train and teach and the passion and handling skills with dogs. I strive to learn as much as possible and am thankful for trainers such as Jay Jack, Chad Mackin, Tyler Muto and Pat Stuart to continue to educate and share their practices. I am also very lucky to call Ernie Frappa (The Dog Bloke) my mentor.
However my interest doesn’t just stop at obedience and behaviour. As someone who grew up around horses I saw the benefits of osteopaths and massage therapists first hand. Horses that were having issues under the saddle often moved and behaved so much better after a good massage session that for me it was a logical step to have a look at dog massage as well.
I wanted to look at the ‘whole dog’ through Canine (myofunctional therapy) Massage. Dogs benefit from massage in the same way as humans and on top of that it can assist in addressing numeral behavioural issues, which goes perfectly together with dog training and sports.
Qualifications and PD
I completed the NDTF cert 3 in Dog Training and Behaviour.
I’m currently finishing up the NCTM Diploma for Canine Myofunctional Therapy.
Bachelor of Education
Besides my official qualifications I regular attend Seminars to ensure I'm up to date with the most recent training concepts and strategies.
