🐾 Is your dog nervous around new people?

Chances are, it’s because they’re lacking confidence — and that’s totally okay, because confidence can be built! 💪✨

One of the best ways to do this is through Free Work.

🌿 What’s Free Work?
It’s a pressure-free, low-impact activity where your dog explores, sniffs, and uses their body & brain to understand their environment — all without interference.

👉 How it works:

Set up little stations with different textures, surfaces & foods

Let your dog explore at their own pace 🐶

You just observe 👀 (no pressure, no interruptions)

Over time, add layers like new sounds or people to build resilience

💡 The key? Your dog learns this is a safe space where nothing “scary” happens — and their confidence grows with every session.

🐾✨ Your dog isn’t being naughty when they pull on the lead… they’re just missing something important:

an outlet!

Here are 3 simple ways to help your pup walk more calmly 🦮👇

1️⃣ Let them sniff 🐶👃
Sniffing = stress relief. Give your dog time to read the "peemail" on walks. It keeps them happy and reduces frustration.

2️⃣ Play before the walk 🎾
5–10 minutes of breed-specific play works wonders!

✨ Got a golden retriever? A quick game of fetch is perfect.
✨ This burns energy + strengthens your bond before the walk.

⚠️ Pro tip: always cool them down afterwards so they’re ready to walk calmly.

3️⃣ Scatter feed before heading out
Toss some food around the floor right before you leave. This lowers excitement and helps them focus.

🐕 Try these out and see the difference in your walks!

Nervous dog + visitors at home?
You might be making things harder without realising it.

Here are 3 pushy parent habits that stress your dog out 👇

🚫 1. Giving visitors treats to feed your dog
It feels kind, but it’s a lot of pressure. Instead, you give your dog a chew or toy they can enjoy away from the guests.

🚪 2. Not letting your dog leave
Your dog doesn’t have to be in the room with visitors. It’s okay if they settle in another space inside the house.

👥 3. Overloading them
Too many people, too much time = stress overload. Your dog has a limit, and flooding them will only trigger more reactions.

💡 Don’t beat yourself up if you’ve done these — we’ve all been there! But if you want to be a more patient parent, save this post for next time guests come over.

Your dog will thank you. 💛

🐾✨ Forget the “3, 3, 3 Rule” for rescue dogs ✨🐾

Have you heard it before?
➡️ 3 days to decompress
➡️ 3 weeks to settle
➡️ 3 months to feel at home

🚨 Chuck it out the window — it’s outdated and setting too many dogs (and their humans) up for failure.
Here’s the truth: every dog is different. 🐕💛 Especially our international rescues — there’s no set timeline for when they’ll feel safe, trust, or settle into their new world.

Instead of chasing deadlines, let your dog set the pace. Learn who they are, what helps them feel secure, and build your bond step by step. 🫶

And please — don’t beat yourself up if your dog isn’t following an online timeline or what your rescue told you. This journey isn’t about “keeping up” with others… it’s about building a relationship that works for you and your pup. 🌍🐶

✨ If you’ve just welcomed a rescue dog and want some guidance on where to start, drop “rescue me” in the comments and we’ll send you our free info pack!

The only time length matters...
What length lead do you use?

You bought a whole lead, use it all 👌

Are you FUN to your dog… or a little bit boring? 👀

Spending just 5 minutes a day playing, ruffling ears, tugging on toys, or running around hiding from them can totally transform your bond.

Life can feel way too serious—work, responsibilities, expectations…

But your dog doesn’t care about any of that. They just want YOU, goofy and playful.

So let your hair down, laugh, be silly, and enjoy the moment. You’ll be surprised how much more fun you BOTH have 🥳

➡️ Tag us in your stories when you’re goofing around with your dog—we’d LOVE to see it! 🐕💌

Hands up - who is scrolling or busy on their phone when walking their dog? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Hands up - who expects their dog to pay attention to them when THEY ARE DONE on their phone or when the dog spots somethig they are excited by? 🙋🏼‍♀️

If you want to build up engagement with your dog, you must be ready to engage with them. Take your eyes off of your phone, put them on the dog and play/reward any check ins the offer to you.

It will change your training and what walks mean to your dog 🐕

********💩💃S**t Show💩🕺********
>> FOLLOW to join us for a 31-day pledge to improve recall and reduce seeking out nasties in dogs that run and roll!

How often does your dog STOP, DROP, AND ROLL 💩?

Rolling in stinky stuff, whether it be p**p or carcus, is a very natural dog behaviour. From what we know about dogs and their history, this behaviour could serve many different functions:

💩 Ancestral survival instinct to disguise their own scent to threats
💩 Leave their scent at the scene to claim it
💩 Add scent to their own body to make them appear as more appealing
💩 Ancestral hunting instinct to communicate to other dogs what is in the environment
💩 Ditch the smell of the scented shampoo after a groom
💩 Pure pleasure

Understanding these possibilities can help to get inside our dog's mind when we see the behaviour and to give us more patience in working with it!

Seeking is also a natural behaviour, so when we don't give dogs opportunity to seek and sniff in training and in their walks, they're much more likely to look for outlets when they hear the clip go ping!

IS P**P SAFE?

Although it is a natural behaviour, we need to take precautions. Faeces and dead animals can carry many bacteria and parasites. So it's important that if your dog engages in rolling regularly, you ensure they're up to date with worming and are thoroughly cleaned after their frolicking 💩

What can we do to communicate with our dogs to NOT engage in their natural behaviours this way?

Well, it's a tough balance, as we want to allow dogs to engage in as many of their instinctual behaviours as is safe. However, we need to also keep in mind their health and our homes. We also need to ensure the safety of our dogs when they head off to engage in seek and roll behaviour.
............... 💩Welcome to the S**t Show💩....................

For the whole of March, we'll be running the S**t Show! This is a 31-day pledge to get your dog recalling away from stinky stuff!

Will you join us?
To follow along, make sure you're following and let us know you'll be getting involved by commenting "less s**t please" in the comments below 💩
