Puppy Exposure – Gina’s First Café Visit 🐾🐕

Today Gina visited a café for the very first time. It was quiet (no other customers), which made it the perfect starter session. She lay on her mat and calmly took it all in.

✨ Top tips for early café training:

Start calm, pick a quiet time so your puppy isn’t overwhelmed.

Bring a mat & a chew – the mat teaches “this is my settle spot,” and the chew keeps little mouths busy in a positive way.

Notice the environment – even in a quiet café (with today's initial zero customers haha)

There are new experiences still to be had, like the sound of the coffee machine, staff chatter, and the smell of breakfast arriving at her Mums table.

Keep it short & positive – let them enjoy the experience and leave when you are both ready, short bursts may be all they can manage initially without becoming overstimulated.

It's your journey, so don't compare yourself to others, such as your friends puppy!!

Reward the right behaviour – calm lying down, ignoring noises and smells.

These small, positive exposures build confident dogs who can happily join us in busy places as they grow. 🐶☕

🌟 Betsy is smashing it! 🌟

Betsy is a gorgeous rescue dog living in the lovely city of Cambridge, which means bikes, dogs, and endless movement everywhere she goes! Her owners, have been working so hard on her training plan, adding calm thresholds, short structured outings, and even tweaking their morning runs.

Already she’s calmer at the door, quicker to engage, and enjoying her walks without tipping into full squeal mode. Amazing progress and amazing commitment from her humans! 💛🐾

This lovely little man has a seriously big personality and even if your name is down you are not coming in peacefully- it's his manor and he will let you know, he wants you gone and do not touch him, he thinks you suck 🤣. His owners are fab and working on changing his response and the way he feels about the people in his space, he also needs help with other dogs out on the lead. If in doubt Logan will be shooooooout.

But before I left him, he even approached and retreated without any reaction aswell as me moving around him without attack. Big Steps for a Little Dude. I will always go at the dogs pace.

Had this sent to me. We all know rescue doggies are literally my obsession. But my god this tickled me.....

Beautiful Bernie, he is a border collie x st bernard!, and a Romanian Rescue, so prior to home life with his fab owners, he no doubt lived quite a stressful life 😞. He showed quite a nervous disposition, in body language and that he is quite vocal.

So we've structured simple techniques to build predictabilty in situatuons he's unsure of, and offer alternative behaviours that make both his owners happy that he's feeling less anxious and Bernie himself starts to see the world through more confident eyes. Hes a bright button! And also loves a lap cuddle haha

This wonderful dog, finds the world a scary place, she has her sofa and she would happily stay there because its snuggly and safe! Her owner is so patient and has adapted the way they approach things to work at her pace and make each training step a little bit smaller, so we have more success, building her confidence and growing her world to be bigger!

Bailey is a Beagle/Foxhound Harrier Hound Cross. Sooo. She is super intelligent, eager to learn, but also there are so many amazing smells in the world that sometimes she just forgets what, where or why she is somewhere 🤷‍♀️

Her owners are working on focus, recall and pattern games to bring her attention back after a lovely sniffy zone out and helping her re engage when its time to walk on a lead 😆. #

It takes just a moment to check your dog’s ID tag and microchip, but it can prevent days of worry. Let’s all keep our dogs safe this summer. 💛 ゚
