EXTRA SPACES RELEASED!

Does Your Cocker “React” to Things in Their Environment?

Do you find yourself dreading certain walks?

Have you stopped walking with friends because your cocker doesn’t fit in?

When our cockers react, they’re often telling us they feel overwhelmed or don’t feel emotionally safe in that moment. And as much as we try to support them, it can leave us feeling frustrated and isolated too. This often leads to avoiding triggers, making our world feel smaller and more challenging to enjoy fun activities together.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d love for you to join me for our free “Reactive Cocker” workshop on the 14th November at 7PM GMT. I’ll be sharing the framework I use with clients to help them and their cockers feel safer and more at ease in their environments.

With Bonfire Night around the corner (& so many fireworks this weekend!), it’s a good time to prepare a safe, cosy space for your dog to relax if they’re sensitive to loud noises.

Here are my 2 top tips:
Set up a quiet, familiar space with blankets, toys, and maybe some calming music to help drown out the sounds. 🎵
Make sure your pet’s ID tags and microchip information are up to date, just in case they get spooked. 🐾

Taking a few extra steps can make a huge difference in keeping your cocker calm and secure during fireworks season.

I just wanted to share some thoughts on our cockers' behaviour during the adolescent period. It's essential to understand that many of these behaviours are a result of the changes they're undergoing and are not intentional.

Let's refrain from labelling our dogs as "disobedient." They might just be trying to communicate with us in their own way!🐾

"Who's Walking Who?" Free Workshop – TONIGHT at 7pm BST

Does it feel like your cocker is walking you rather than the other way around on lead walks? You’re not alone! In our recent "Why Does My Cocker..." training, the number one issue cocker owners said they wanted to solve was pulling on the lead.
That’s why I’m hosting a free workshop to help you understand why your cocker pulls on the lead and to give you practical tips to make your walks more enjoyable.

Why Join?
When our cockers pull on the lead, it can strain your relationship with them. Dreading walks because you’re being pulled around is no fun and can even cause injury—to both you and your cocker. Lead pulling is a common struggle, but with the right guidance, you can get back to enjoying peaceful, stress-free walks together.

Did you know? 💭

Not all cocker spaniels will display the same intensity of adolescent behaviors. Some might go through this phase smoothly, while others may face challenges.

What was/is your cocker spaniel like during this phase? Tell me in the comments. 👇

I’m often asked why I offer so much free training, and the simple answer is that I genuinely want to help as many cocker owners as possible. 🐾

I know firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate life with a Cocker Spaniel. Sometimes it feels like no matter what you do, things just don’t go to plan, and that can leave you feeling frustrated or alone. But the truth is, you’re not the only one going through this—and I want to make sure you know that.

This lovely comment from one of you really sums it up. 🌟

We all face similar struggles, and if my training videos and advice can make things just a little bit easier for you and your cocker, then I’m doing what I set out to do. I believe in providing tips and support so you can start to enjoy the journey with your cocker, rather than feeling stuck.

My goal is to help you build confidence, not just in your cocker’s abilities but in your own too. You’re not alone in this!
