❓Do you find trimming your dog’s nails to be traumatic for both you and your dog?

😱 Is it traumatic even if your dog is on meds to help make it easier?

🦮 👏 Here are the tips and strategies I used to change this around for Hooley.

A super special dog and super special people!

As a dog trainer, its not uncommon, I run into people and dogs who are extra special. These team lodge themselves into my heart because despite their struggles. They just keep trying.

Megan, Andrew and Pre are one of those teams.

When Pre first started attending classes, he was overly excited and he would sing (loudly) during class but that never deterred Andrew and Megan.

They grew Pre's ability to be calm, they worked on reducing his frustration when not working and eventually, participated in our dog sports classes.

And then these wonderful dogs get old and their health fails and we have to say good-by.

Good by Pre - you were the best! You, Andrew and Megan will always have a space in my heart.

🤪 Excitability or arousal is the degree to which your dog's brain is activated. It is the exact opposite of calmness.

🧱 All the little exciting, anxiety-producing, and worrisome events in your dog's life are like a tower of blocks where each block is stacked on top of another.

😢 As some point, the accumulation of blocks gets too high and the tower falls. This is when you get those big unwanted displays of misbehavior. It is the total accumulation of events taking place in your dog's life that causes the tower to fall.

🤯 If your dog struggles with excitability, arousal, reactivity, one of the key things it needs to learn is calmness and that can be taught.

What does your dog think of the Halloween lawn decorations?
Especially, the human shaped ones!

Many dogs start becoming hypervigilent and scared because these weird things are popping up in yards and if they move (even a little) or make noise it can be super scary for dogs.

Some people choose to not take their dog on walks when this happens
Others, push their dog to go up to it, to see “its ok”

Instead, think about this as an opportunity. An opportunity to grow your dog’s confidence and to introduce it to novelty in a fun but careful way.

You can do this walking your dog and stopping a distance away from the scary things. You want to stop a distance away that your dog can look, but it also is relaxed enough to eat, listen and respond to cues and play with you.

Yay, that’s the best part.

Then walk away and repeat stopping in the same spot.

Each day, as long as your dog is confident, relaxed, thinking and responding to your cues, you can play a little bit closer.
