Is Your Dog Pulling on the Lead? There’s a Kind Solution 🐾

If your dog pulls on the lead, it can be tempting to look for quick fixes like slip leads. But did you know that slip leads can actually cause harm? Here’s why it’s worth trying a gentler, positive approach.

Slip leads tighten around the dog’s neck when they pull, which can lead to serious injuries such as bruising, crushed tracheas, spinal damage, and even thyroid issues over time. This kind of aversive tool can increase stress (cortisol levels) in dogs, which may lead to unwanted behaviors like aggression—especially in dogs who are reactive or anxious.

Instead of causing discomfort, there are safer, effective ways to train loose-lead walking: 🐾 Use a well-fitted harness to avoid neck strain. 🐾 Reward calm walking—a few treats can go a long way! 🐾 Teach “check-ins” to keep them engaged with you on walks. 🐾 Be patient and consistent to build lasting habits.
It works for all breeds irrespective of 'drive' and breed size. Don't believe me? Check out my post of loose leash walking with two 70kilo Newfoundlands at the same time :-)

Reward-based training doesn’t just stop pulling—it makes walks more enjoyable and strengthens your bond with your dog. ❤️

With the weekend nearly behind us, many dogs are still feeling anxious, and unfortunately the UK fireworks season isn’t over yet. New Year’s Eve and Chinese New Year often bring another round of noise and stress. Here’s some advice to help your dog feel secure at home:

🔹 Safe Sanctuary: Create a comfy, quiet space where your dog can retreat to when the fireworks start. Add their favourite toys and blankets for extra comfort.

🔹 Exercise: Give your dog some exercise during the day – a tired pup is often a calmer one. Just avoid walks after dark when fireworks are more likely.

🔹 Comfort When Needed: The idea that comforting a scared dog makes their fear worse is an old myth! You can’t reinforce an emotion, so go ahead and reassure your dog with soothing words and gentle pats if that’s what they need.

🔹 No Forced Exposure: Never force your dog to confront fireworks if they’re anxious. Let them hide or snuggle up somewhere they feel safe.

🔹 ID Check: Make sure your dog’s collar and microchip has updated contact information, just in case they get startled and run off.

🔹 Medication: Speak to your vet about anxiety medications that can help ease your dog’s stress during fireworks. There are safe, short-term options that can make a big difference.

🔹 Stay Close: Being with your dog during fireworks can help them feel secure. Treats or toys can be a good distraction, but don’t push interaction if they prefer to be left alone.

🔹 Sight and Sound Masking: Close the curtains to block flashing lights, and play calming music or white noise to help mask the sound of fireworks.

🔹 No Punishment: Remember, scolding a scared dog won’t help. Be patient and understanding – they depend on you for comfort.

If your dog’s anxiety feels overwhelming, consulting your vet should be your first go to. Then when you are ready for help with long term rehabilitation give me a shout and we can chat about your options.

I had a question last week about whether its OK to comfort a fearful or reactive dog, so I thought I would answer it here as I am sure other people feel just as confused by all the conflicting information out there...

Emotions play a crucial role in shaping behaviour, influencing learning, memory, and how animals, in this case dogs, respond to stress. Neurotransmitters—chemical messengers in the brain—are central to regulating emotions and responses to their environment. Understanding how these neurotransmitters work helps us better support our dogs, especially when they’re faced with fear, anxiety, or stress. 🧠💕

This is important for dogs, whose behaviour is often tied to the fight-or-flight response. One common myth that has spread, is that comforting a dog during fear will worsen their fear or reactivity.
This is not the case.

Let’s explore how comforting your dog actually helps reduce their fear and why seeking guidance from a qualified behaviourist is crucial for your dog’s wellbeing.

Why Comforting Your Dog Won’t Make Fear Worse
🐕🧠 Fear is an Emotion, Not a Behaviour: Fear, like all emotions, cannot be "rewarded" or "reinforced". It arises due to neurotransmitters like adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol, which surge when a dog feels scared or stressed. Comforting your dog in these moments doesn’t reward the fear. Instead, it helps trigger the parasympathetic nervous system, which calms the body and reduces stress.

🐶❤️ Oxytocin and Serotonin Release: When you comfort a frightened dog, oxytocin (the bonding hormone) is released, which helps reduce stress and makes them feel secure. In addition, serotonin levels increase, further lowering anxiety and helping your dog relax. This change in brain chemistry moves them from a heightened state of anxiety to a calmer state.

🧠❤️ Learning Through Emotional Support: Dogs learn through associations. Comforting your dog during a fearful episode teaches them that the scary trigger (like a loud noise or a stranger) isn’t harmful. While it’s not about endlessly coddling your dog, giving appropriate reassurance helps them feel safe. Over time, they begin to associate these triggers with positive, reassuring experiences, weakening their fear response and reducing future reactivity.

🤗🐶 Comfort in Behaviour Modification: Comfort is an essential element in behaviour modification techniques like counter-conditioning. By pairing a feared stimulus with comfort and positive experiences, you can alter your dog’s emotional response to the trigger. Instead of becoming more reactive, they start to associate the trigger with calm and safety.

👩‍⚕️ Why Seeking Professional Guidance Matters
Anyone can call themselves a dog trainer or behaviourist and unfortunately some perpetuate the myth that comforting your dog worsens fear. In contrast, a qualified behaviourist understands the science behind fear and can guide you to comfort your dog in a way that supports their emotional wellbeing. They use evidence-based techniques like desensitisation and counter-conditioning to help your dog feel safe around triggers 🐕🧠.

🐾 Comforting your dog when they are scared is not only okay, it’s beneficial. With the help of a qualified behaviourist, you can ensure that your dog’s fear is addressed in the best way possible, helping them form healthier emotional responses 🐕‍🦺💪.

🙏 Did you know that showing gratitude actually makes you a happier person? 🙏

I'm all for more happiness, so here are 3 things I'm grateful for right now:

❤️ The freedom my business gives me ❤️
I've never been great with feeling tied down. Working for other people always felt restrictive and deflating to me. I always knew I was going to carve my own path in life. Now, I love how I can create and do whatever I want in my business. This is what truly feels abundant and spacious for me. 🙌

❤️ My clients ❤️
I'm so grateful that I get to work with such incredible guardians and support them on their journey to creating a healthy and happy relationship with their dogs. I attract the most wonderful people into my world, and it's such a joy to join them on the ride! 🐾

❤️ My garden ❤️
The last few years have been a challenge for health and personal reasons. My garden has always been my happy place, but I've never been more grateful for that space than over the past few years. Getting lost for hours in planting, building, pruning, or just sitting and appreciating the birds, butterflies, and bees has fed my soul when I needed it most. 🌳

So, let's get a gratitude thread going.

What are you grateful for? 👇

Dotty, a young puppy, was causing some challenges for her guardian by begging, trying to grab food, and coming into her guardian’s space when they were eating in front of the TV.

To help manage this, we focused on using positive reinforcement to teach Dotty to go to her place/mat during her guardian's mealtimes. We also used management strategies while we worked through the training process. With patience and consistency, Dotty learned to settle, which also made outings to cafés much more enjoyable. 🎉

Dotty’s success was thanks to the dedication and hard work of her guardian, who committed to the training plan and put management strategies in place.

A common mistake is believing that dogs display these unwanted behaviours out of entitlement—this is a human concept that dogs don’t understand. For dogs, it’s straightforward: they do what works and avoid what doesn’t. 🐶 By understanding this, we can better guide our dogs towards the behaviours we want to see.

Huge well done to Dotty and her guardian—proof that consistency and understanding truly make a difference! 💪

Dogs NOT behaving (very) badly

When dogs act in ways we find challenging, it's easy to label their behaviour as "naughty" or "bad". However, this human-centric view can lead us astray. Unfortunately these myths are still being peddled on prime time TV.

Dogs don't operate with human motivations or morals - they're responding to their environment, instincts, and past experiences

By stepping back from our human judgements, we open the door to truly understanding our canine companions. A dog isn't chewing shoes out of spite or barking excessively to annoy us. There's always a reason behind their actions, even if it's not immediately obvious to us.

To truly help our dogs, we need to shift our perspective. Instead of asking, "Why is my dog being naughty?" we should consider:

Is my dog in pain?
What need is my dog trying to meet?
Is there an environmental factor triggering this behaviour?
Has my dog learnt that this behaviour is rewarding in some way?

By approaching dog behaviour with curiosity rather than judgement, we can identify the real causes and find more effective, compassionate solutions. This approach recognises dogs as unique individuals with their own set of instincts, experiences, and needs.

Embracing this mindset allows us to build stronger bonds with our dogs that work with their nature, not against it.

🤔 I've had a few questions about my dog behaviour consultation package recently.

So for ease, I thought I'd answer those here just in case you've been wondering the same.

⭐️ How much time will I need? I'm worried I won't have the time to train my dog in between sessions.
You don’t need to commit hours each day. I provide practical, easy-to-implement exercises that fit around your busy schedule. I’ll guide you on how to make the most of your time.

⭐️ What if my dog isn’t responding well to the training?
Every dog learns at their own pace. I tailor my approach to meet your dog's individual needs and adjust strategies as necessary to ensure progress.

⭐️ Can you help with reactive behaviour in my dog?
Absolutely! I specialise in understanding the root cause of reactivity and will work with you to develop a custom plan to help your dog feel more comfortable and calm in triggering situations.

⭐️ What if my dog has a medical condition?
I take a holistic approach to your dog's well-being, and if there are medical concerns, I’ll work to ensure the training plan is suitable and safe, and liaise with your vet if necessary.

⭐️ How long will it take to see improvements?
This depends on your dog and the consistency of training. Some guardians see progress within a few weeks, while more complex issues may take longer. I’ll be with you every step of the way.

I hope that helps clarify a few things if you’ve been sitting on the fence about working with me.

The importance of pain trials for dogs with aggression

When addressing aggression in dogs, it’s essential to consider that underlying pain could be a contributing factor. Pain trials play a critical role in identifying and managing pain-related aggression.

What is a pain trial?

A pain trial involves administering pain relief (analgesics) to a dog to observe if their behaviour improves. If the aggression or reactivity decreases during the trial, this suggests that pain may have been driving the behavioural issues. This method is especially valuable when pain is suspected but not visibly apparent, such as with chronic or internal pain conditions. Pain trials provide insight into whether treatment focused on pain management is needed alongside or instead of behavioural therapy.

Why pain trials are important:

• Pain trials help identify if pain is a contributing factor: If a dog’s aggression decreases with pain relief, it indicates that pain may have been significant in their behaviour.
• They enhance treatment plans: Recognising pain as a cause allows for more targeted plans, focusing on pain management as well as behavioural strategies.
• Pain trials improve quality of life: Addressing pain effectively reduces discomfort and associated behavioural issues, improving a dog's well-being.

The value of pain trials:

• Pain can be challenging to diagnose: Chronic or internal pain might not be obvious, making it a complex issue to identify.
• Behavioural therapies are often the initial focus: While essential, they may not address underlying pain, making pain trials an essential complementary approach.

The role of guardians:

• Advocate for a thorough evaluation: If you notice behaviour changes in your dog, discuss the possibility of pain trials with your veterinarian.
• Keep detailed observations: Document behaviour changes and share these insights with your vet to assist in the evaluation process.

In summary, pain trials are a valuable method for diagnosing and managing aggression in dogs that may be related to pain. Considering these trials can lead to more effective treatments and better overall well-being for dogs experiencing pain-related aggression.

The impact of pain on dog reactivity behaviour

Pain is often an unrecognised factor in reactivity and aggressive behaviour in dogs. When a dog is in pain, it can lead to defensive or irritable reactions that appear as aggression or reactivity. Many dogs labelled as "aggressive" or "reactive" are actually dealing with hidden pain that significantly affects their behaviour.

Here’s how pain impacts behaviour:

• pain triggers defensive responses: dogs may lash out when they’re in pain because they feel vulnerable and want to protect themselves.
• behavioural changes: even well-behaved dogs can become irritable, jumpy, or aggressive when they’re in pain.
• reactivity to touch or movement: dogs in pain may react aggressively when touched or moved in ways that aggravate their discomfort.

Aggressive behaviour is often a form of communication, and pain can be at the root of this response. Research by Daniel S. Mills suggests that up to 80% of dogs with behavioural issues may be suffering from undiagnosed painful conditions, such as chronic musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, or dermatological pain. These cases highlight the importance of recognising pain as a potential cause of behavioural changes.

'Correction' based training methods can be particularly harmful in these cases. Such methods often fail to account for the underlying pain that drives the behaviour and can worsen the dog’s condition by increasing stress or aggravating their physical discomfort. Rather than addressing the root cause, these methods risk damaging the dog further, both physically and emotionally.

If your dog has recently become reactive or aggressive, or if their behaviour has changed without an obvious cause, a vet check is essential. Many behavioural changes are rooted in pain, so early identification and treatment of pain can help reduce reactivity and restore your dog’s well-being.

Next time, we’ll explore the benefits of pain trials and how they can help dogs suffering from chronic pain.

How to spot the hidden signs of pain in your dog

September is animal pain awareness month, and it's important to recognise that dogs often hide their pain. The signs can be subtle and easy to miss, so paying close attention to their physical and behavioural changes is crucial.

Here are some signs your dog might be in pain:

• Not eating or drinking: A sudden lack of appetite or thirst can indicate discomfort.
• Shaking or trembling: Unexplained shaking or trembling may signal distress or pain.
• Aggressive behaviour: A normally gentle dog may become irritable or aggressive when in pain.
• Lethargy and excessive sleeping: If your dog is sleeping more than usual or seems unusually tired, pain could be the cause.
• Biting or licking a specific area: Repeatedly biting or licking at a particular spot might be an attempt to relieve pain.
• Panting: Panting without heat or excitement could point to discomfort or pain.

Dogs of any age or breed can experience pain, and often the signs are easy to overlook. If you notice any of these behaviours, don't hesitate to reach out to your vet. Early detection is key to helping your dog live a happier, more comfortable life.

Next time, we'll dive into the connection between reactivity and pain in dogs and explore the benefits of pain trials. Stay tuned for more valuable insights!

Would you believe me if I told you that my cockapoo used to be a reactive dog? 🐕 Reactive dogs are often labelled as aggressive. The problem with this narrative is that it assumes dogs have an aggressive personality trait. As you can see reactive dogs are far from being aggressive ALL the time. The truth is that these types of behaviours are often rooted in fear and anxiety, and 'aggressive' behaviours are merely a means to communicate a need to increase distance between them and the scary 'thing'.

🚫🐾 Don't Believe the Myth: Puppy Socialisation, Made Simple! 🚫🐶 Many puppy owners make a common mistake. They think socialising their dog means letting them play with every dog they meet. 🙅‍♂️🛑 But, that's not what real socialisation is all about. And if you get it wrong, you might be in for a surprise when your dog grows up and starts acting up around other dogs, like barking and lunging. 😩😰 What Socialisation Isn't: 🐕 Not Every Dog They See: You don't have to let your pup say hello to every dog. In fact, doing that can lead to problems later on. 🙅‍♂️ Not Too Much Excitement: It's not about letting your puppy get too excited with all the dogs. That can backfire. What Socialisation Really Is: 🐶 Variety and Balance: It's about giving your pup a taste of different things, like different people, places, and yes, other dogs. 🌍 Boosting Confidence: Socialisation helps your pup become more confident and get used to the world around them. 👃 Exploring with their SENSES: It's also about letting them explore new stuff with their EYES, EARS, NOSE, and PAWS. 👂 Getting Used to Sounds: Gradually, they learn about different sounds so they won't be scared of noises later. 👐 Different Surfaces and Grounds: It's like teaching them how to walk on different things so they feel comfy and sure-footed. Remember, you don't have to let your puppy meet every dog they see. Instead, focus on giving them a mix of good experiences. That way, your dog can grow up to be well-adjusted and comfortable around other dogs. 🌟🐾 If you need help to bring up a well rounded pup then get in touch.

Its that time of year again when we need to be weary of algal blooms such as blue-green algae (cyaonobacteria) which can be fatal for dogs. These dangerous algae are found in still fresh water areas such as lakes, ponds and sometimes slow moving rivers. Keep your dog on a lead away from the water and don't let your dog swim or drink the water. You can report the area via the Bloomin’ Algae app. If you think your dog might have been exposed - rinse them off as soom as possible to avoid licking and ingestion. Seek veterinary advice immediately if you think your dog may have ingested algae. Dr Caroline IMDT - dog behaviour IMDT Qualified Dog Trainer www.CarolinesK9s.com 07882 477177
