🤔Understanding dog body language and recognising signs before a bite can help prevent aggressive encounters. Here are some key tips and signs to watch for:
⭐️ Snapping or Nipping
Quick bites without full force can indicate discomfort.
⭐️ Backing Away
If a dog is retreating, it may be feeling threatened.
⭐️ Mouth Movements
Rapid panting or licking of lips can indicate stress.
👉 Prevention Tips
Respect Personal Space
⭐️ If a dog is showing signs of discomfort, give them space.
⭐️ Socialisation
Properly socialising dogs from a young age can help them feel more comfortable around people and other animals.
⭐️ Training
Basic obedience training can improve communication and reduce anxiety.
⭐️ Supervision
👉 Always supervise interactions between dogs and young children or unfamiliar people.👈
By being observant and proactive, you can create a safer environment for both dogs and humans.

⭐️Engagement in dog training is crucial because it helps build a strong bond between the dog and the trainer, whether that’s a professional or the pet owner.
⭐️When a dog is engaged, they are attentive, enthusiastic, and more receptive to learning new commands and behaviors.
⭐️This active participation accelerates the training process and makes it more enjoyable for both the dog and the handler.
⭐️On the other hand, teaching a dog to disengage is equally important.
⭐️Disengagement involves helping a dog learn when to relax and not focus intensely, which is vital for their mental health and self-control.
⭐️It prevents overstimulation and stress, allowing the dog to navigate different environments calmly.
⭐️Balancing engagement and disengagement leads to a well-rounded, adaptable, and happy dog, making the training process more effective and sustainable in the long run.

🙉 Ignore Begging Behavior
Don’t reward begging with attention or food. Wait until your dog is calm before giving any treats or meals.
💥 Provide Distractions
Give your dog toys or engage them in play during meal times to keep them occupied.
👉 Use a “Place” Command
Train your dog to go to a designated spot during meal times, such as a bed or mat.
🌭 Avoid Feeding from the Table
Never give your dog food while you’re eating, as this reinforces begging behavior.
📈 Train with Commands
Teach commands like “leave it” or “go to your spot” to redirect their attention away from begging.
Consistency and patience are key to changing this behavior!

⭐️ My Cue/Command Guide ⭐️
👉 Ensure your command is clear (use the dog’s name followed by the command).
👉 If the dog doesn’t listen, avoid repeating the command constantly.
👉 Give them a moment to process, then repeat the command (dog’s name + command).
👉 If they are still unsure, you might need to retrain the command using marking + reward.
👉 Use hand signals for commands whenever possible (dogs react quicker to hand signals than words).
👉 Be consistent with the commands you use.
👉 Never use the same command for two different tasks (e.g., “down” for lying down vs. “down” for getting off the couch).
👉 We want to set our dogs up for success by being clear.
👉 Remember, dogs don’t understand English, Japanese, French, etc., so we need to make it easy for them.

**Flexi Leads!**
❤️ I love them when you’re building recall—one of the best tools available ❤️
🚗 However, my biggest concern when walking around is seeing people use these in busy areas.
✋Even more worrisome is when the lead is fully extended. Please, stop doing this!
💥I’ve seen too many dogs nearly run into roads, and one actually did, missing a car by mere centimeters!
Be smart and think about what could happen. 👍

👉 OCD in Dogs 👈
🎾 Dogs can develop OCD by fixating on activities like playing with a ball.
**Negative Behaviors**
😴 This fixation can lead to excessive barking, jumping, biting, resource guarding, and difficulty settling or sleeping.
**Interactive Games**
🐶 Engaging in games like tug-of-war, agility work, scent work, and training drills can help address these behaviors and strengthen your bond.

👎 Not food-driven? Want a better-behaved dog?
🎯 Let’s fix it!
🛑 Stop doing this:
- Using a bowl
- Using treats (all treats)
✅ Start doing this:
- Weigh and distribute the daily allowance into a treat pouch.
- Reward your dog when they obey a command.
💭Remember:
- This may take up to 4 days.
- Dogs don’t need food every day (in the wild, they wouldn’t).
- When you see good behavior, mark the behavior and offer food as a reward.
📈 Outcome:
Your dog will understand that food comes through you!
And they’ll start to work for it.
Better relationship with your dog.
Better behaviors!
🤷♀️ Still unsure?

👉 Dog reactivity in the home can be caused by various factors. Here are some common reasons for in-house dog reactivity
👉 **Lack of socialisation**
Dogs that have not been properly socialised to different people, animals, and environments may become reactive when encountering new stimuli in the home.
👉 **Fear or anxiety**
Dogs that are fearful or anxious may exhibit reactive behaviours, such as barking, growling, or lunging, when they feel threatened or uncomfortable.
👉 **Resource guarding**
Dogs may become reactive when they perceive a threat to their resources, such as food, toys, or resting spots, especially in a multi-dog household.
👉 **Territorial behaviour**
Dogs are naturally territorial animals, and some may exhibit reactive behaviours when they feel their territory is being invaded, such as by strangers or other animals.
👉 **Lack of training**
Dogs that have not been trained to respond appropriately to different situations may exhibit reactive behaviours as a result of confusion, frustration, or an inability to control their impulses.
👉 **Underlying aggression**
In some cases, underlying aggression issues, such as fear aggression or frustration-based aggression, may contribute to in-house reactivity.
👉 One common issue I have observed is dogs being unable to settle, which impacts their sleep and ability to relax when people are around. Remember, a lack of sleep for your dog can create a dog that is always on edge 👈
I can help coach you and your dog to stop in-house reactivity so you can start enjoying having people over. Book a free consultation via the website.
