If you want to connect with a dog. If you want to help a dog to regulate their emotions through calmer responses. Then you will probably need any triggering exposure to be below their emotional threshold.

Make sure the dog is able to remain connected, to process new information (in example, changing their mind about triggers that they remembered as being a potential threat) and to self-regulate at a slower, more relaxed pace.

You can even co-regulate if you are both calm, having a calming effect on each other. No rush😇

I wrote an article about thresholds, you can read it here: https://lotsdogs.com/behavior/threshold.html

A quote from the article: "Each dog can have different preferences, different ranges of resilience, different coping mechanisms and a different recovery speed which can change under different circumstances."🤓

When I was a respiratory therapist, I used to see referral programs between doctors’ offices, laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, and hospitals. However, there are measures in place that regulate such practices. So what does this have to do with dog training? Well, locally, I'm seeing kickback...

🧡Book Recommendation!🧡

We have such an amazing group of people at IH and one of these people is Sue Palmer The Horse Physio!

Working alongside Dr. Sue Dyson, Sue has put this amazing book together, Harmonious Horsemanship, looking into the use of the Ridden Horse Ethogram to optimise potential, partnership and performance!

It is so often you hear 'kick on, he is just being naughty', 'she just needs to warm up so keep going' and interpreting horses pain as bad behaviour. By looking into the 24 behaviours in the Ridden Horse Pain Ethogram, this book shows that there are signs we can look out for to spot when our horses are in pain and discomfort and need help.

I truly think that this book will change the equine industry for the better and is a must-read for all horse owners and professionals to improve equine welfare!

This is especially true with babies and toddlers who move in unpredictable ways. So often, we receive phone calls from the parents of newly-crawling babies once the dog has begun growling at the baby, and much of the time the growling occurs when the baby crawls towards the dog. Learn to set your dog and baby up for safe, comfortable dynamics.

When baby is on the move, make sure Fluffy is either comfortably separated or there is a parent in-between. When you and your child want to interact with your dog, teach your child from an early age to invite the dog over to you. And remember: invitations are just that. Your dog is always free to say “No thanks.”
