Balance Behaviour I offer one to one consultations to help owners with canine behavioural issues. I do occasionally have dogs available for rehome.

I am not a trainer, trainers teach dogs to 'speak human', whereas I attempt to teach owners how to 'speak dog'. I have been working with dogs for most of my adult life and am a qualified canine behaviour practitioner and owner trainer and member of the CFBA. In the past I have worked in the animal welfare sector as a fosterer, home checker, transporter and assessor. I have rehabilitated many dogs

from stray kennels and re-homed them with loving families. I now try to assist owners in keeping their dog in the home through rehabilitation - and thus help avoid the dog being relinquished to welfare in the first instance. I can help with behaviour issues no matter how small or overwhelming through advice and demonstration and through teaching the psychology of the dog. My ethos is one of holistic intervention, by this I mean that I always look at the dog as a whole - body, mind and spirit - I try to fulfil the physical and psychological needs of the dog and provide the owner with the tools to decrease and eliminate unwanted behaviour - many of the behaviours that we find unacceptable are often in part an expression of frustration so a whole lifestyle view is essential. I endeavour to empower owners to take charge of their dog's behaviour and I teach how the owner can remove unwanted behaviours and prevent future issues. Please check the 'Langlands Rescue' page on the website for details of available dogs.

Don't forget your Butternut Box this Christmas!
A special treat for the doggos? A distraction from the visitors and parcel deliveries? Or maybe you are desperately into teaching separation confidence so you can leave for social events over the Christmas period? If so you can't beat this versatile delicious minimally cooked food. You can warm it up for Christmas dinner (along with the leftovers) like we do, or add it to the rotation of foraging treats.
To save you money and time here's a link to a special offer; www.butternutbox.com/balancebehaviour50
(for when you forget to defrost raw and wake up with a hangover - it's party season after all!).

Top tip for multi-dog households - if you have barkers that go from one to ten on the reactivity scale and have sidekicks that get involved in the drama, then (calmly) address the instigator! Ignore the rest. They will follow suit 😉

When people say a crate is cruel - 'why would you shove a dog in a small box?' it makes me smile.
Well...it's because they absolutely love it! When they feel the trust that you will never abuse the crate time, and they feel the safety and comfort they bring they hate being without one.
Case in point... historic picture of Nikita choosing the teeny tiny Digger sized crate in preference to the huge one, the large expanse of vet bed or floor... or the sofa in the next room!
( aaaaand Digger being a mountain goat...) ❤❤❤❤❤

Ava (No.1 Rottie) says TELEPHONE ASSESSMENTS ARE AVAILABLE* - ask for a background questionnaire and we'll let you know if this would be a suitable option for your dog and his or her problems!

*Ava probably won't be taking the assessment calls personally- sorry - she's too busy with all the paperwork.

Dogs learn everything from their mothers initially, and then they learn from their new human family!
Caretakers are the role models - so if you dog is nervous then be sure to show confidence around 'scary things', if your dog is stressed offer calmness, and if your dog is unsure at any point - tell them what to do. To them you have all the answers!
Your mood and your actions are being monitored all the time by your dog - so make sure that you are the best example you can be, and you are sending the right message rather than accidentally joining in with their drama...
You only need to watch a new puppy following older dogs and people around and copying them to see how deep this goes - from which type of grass to nibble, and which to avoid, to where to p*e, puppies look to their elders for cues. Check your cues!
