06/04/2025

I am a 21st century dog….
-I'm a Malinois.
Overskilled among dogs, I excel in all disciplines and I'm always ready to work: I NEED to work.
But nowadays I get asked to chill on the couch all day everyday.

-I am an Akita Inu.
My ancestors were selected for fighting bears.
Today I get asked to be tolerant and I get scolded for my reactivity when another approaches me.

-I am a Beagle.
When I chase my prey, I raise my voice so the hunters could follow.
Today they put an electric collar on me to shut up, and you make me come back to you - no running - with a snap of your fingers.

-I am a Yorkshire Terrier.
I was a terrifying rat hunter in English mines.
Today they think I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

-I'm a Labrador Retriever.
My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back the duck he shot to my master.
Today you forget I'm a walking, running, swimming dog; as a result I'm fat, made to stay indoors, and to babysit.

-I am a Jack Russell.
I can take on a fox, a mean badger, and a rat bigger than me in his den.
Today I get scolded for my character and high energy, and forced to turn into a quiet living room dog.

-I am a Siberian Husky.
Experienced the great, wide open spaces of Northern Europe, where I could drag sleds for long distances at impressive speeds.
Today I only have the walls of the house or small garden as a horizon, and the holes I dig in the ground just to release energy and frustration, trying to stay sane.

-I am a border collie
I was made to work hours a day in partnershipwith my master, and I am an unmistakable artist of working with the herd.
Today they are mad at me because, for lack of sheep, I try to check bikes, cars, children in the house and everything in motion.
I am ...
I am a 21st century dog.

I'm pretty, I'm alert, I'm obedient, I stay in a bag...but I'm also an individual who, from centuries of training, needs to express my instincts, and I am *not* suited for the sedentary life you'd want me to lead.

Spending eight hours a day alone in the house or in the garden - with no work and no one to play or run with, seeing you for a short time in the evening when you get home, and only getting a small toilet walk will make me deeply unhappy.

I'll express it by barking all day, turning your yard into a minefield, doing my needs indoors, being unmanageable the rare times I'll find myself outside, and sometimes spending my days sunk, sad, lonely, and depressed, on my pillow.

You may think that I should be happy to be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work, but actually I’ll be exhausted and frustrated, because this is absolutely NOT what I'm meant to do, or what I need to be doing.
If you love me, if you've always dreamed of me, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athletic look make you want me, but you can't give me a real dog's life, a life that's really worth living according to my breed, and if you can't offer me the job that my genes are asking, DO NOT buy or adopt me!

If you like the way I look but aren't willing to accept my temperament, gifts, and traits derived from long genetic selection, and you think you can change them with only your good will, then DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT ME.

I’m a dog from the 21st century, yes, but deep inside me, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who guided and protected a herd still lives within.

So think **very** carefully before you choose your dog. And think about getting two, rather than one, so I won't be so very lonely waiting for you all day. Eight or ten hours is just a workday to you, but it's an eternity for me to be alone.

Fear, bicycles, objects, noises, fast movements …

Not long ago, this bike would’ve sent him flinching and scrambling to get away.
Today? He walked past it with confidence.

Fear doesn’t always look dramatic. It can be subtle—a freeze, a wide-eyed stare, a slight hesitation. And it’s not always “irrational.” It’s the nervous system doing its job to keep them safe.

But here’s the thing:
Fear isn’t stubbornness.
It’s not disobedience.
And it’s not something to force a dog through.

It is something that can shift—with patience, trust, and the right kind of support.

We still have things to work through (don’t we all?), but every win counts. Every step forward builds the foundation for the next.

If your dog is struggling with fear, you’re not alone—and it’s not forever.

👇 Tell me—what’s something your dog has overcome? And what are you still working on together? (Making content to support what you are working on)

Also… something might be coming soon to help guide you through fear, and into fearing less. Watch this space.😎⭐️

Does it actually matter if your dog walks in front of you?
Short answer: It depends. 😝

And honestly, if you’ve been told your dog must always walk behind or beside you, or that’s ‘baddd’ so don’t do that and let them go wherever… let’s rethink all that for a second. 🤨

Here’s the thing: There’s no one way to walk a dog because …every dog, every human, and every situation is different.

🤍Instead of stressing about positions, here’s what actually matters:

🐾 Context – Are they calmly sniffing and exploring, or dragging you down the road in a frenzy? Big difference.

🐕 The dog – A nervous dog, a confident dog, an overstimulated dog… they all walk differently for different reasons. (and yes they do also naturally walk faster than us and zigzag)

🧍‍♀️ You – How you handle the leash, your emotional state, and what you bring to the walk makes a huge impact.

🧐 Are they even on a leash?
🌍 The environment – A quiet park vs. a busy city street? Yeah, that’s gonna change things too.

Rather than fixating on where your dog is walking, and the on leash off leash debate, focus on how they’re walking and how you’re both feeling together. Walks should feel good for both of you!✨

If walks feel stressful, chaotic, or like a daily battle (super super common and can change too as life happens) my private 1-2-1 books are now open for mid-late March— online options and in person - only 4 spaces left!

💬 DM me or comment “WALK” if you’re ready to enjoy calmer, more connected walks and general moments tailored to you and for your dog!

Hello 👋🏻 I’ve been in two minds about sharing this, and honestly, I’ve gone back and forth for a while. But I keep coming back to it because it’s at the core of everything I do.

And here in this community, authenticity, honesty, transparency and stepping forward to learn and share without fear of judgment are some of the core values 💪🏻

For those of you who don’t know, I’ve always been hands-on with dogs and their families over the years, on the streets, in shelters and so on.
Now, I’m doing more online, and I keep hitting this sticky point: What exactly am I talking about? Where should I focus?

Everyone in business says: Niche down! Pick one thing! And I get it. But I love all dogs (yes pro adopt - but still!) . I love all the different families who have them and to me we need more union, support throughout in this dog world that’s getting more and more divided. And the common thread through all of it—the thing that truly matters—is understanding WHY behavior happens and, equally important, looking at OURSELVES.

🤍Because here’s what I keep seeing: Someone can learn everything about dog behavior. They can take all the courses, read all the books, try every method, and see great results in some areas. But until they make shifts within themselves—in how they see, feel, communicate, accept, recover, rest—things don’t hold up long-term. The rollercoaster continues.

Some people actually like the rollercoaster. The excitement of learning new techniques, trying different methods, constantly chasing the next solution. And I get that! There’s a time and place for it. But what I’ve noticed—again and again—is that the simple, fundamental pieces in both the human’s and the dog’s life are often missing.

And without that solid foundation, everything else is just noise… or overwhelm.

So that’s what I’m going to talk about more.✨
