Ignore the TV in the background.....I made this video this morning as I wanted to show my clients what the invisible dog looks like .... Obviously as you can see 'i' am the invisible dog not Hazel... and obviously i can't be left alone without having any contact with my dog. (My dogs can settle...I can't) . It made me laugh as I was doing this film this morning and reminded me what my hairdresser said to me 'your dogs must be so well trained' hmmmm no was my honest reply, as I like my dogs to be happy and relaxed and that is my main focus... training should be just this...helping our dogs learn how to be happy not how to control them in an environment....please please please think more chill and less thrill 🐾🐾

I have been thinking a lot about sensory overload lately, mainly because I struggle with this daily due to my own Neurodiverse brain but It does make me want to shout louder as I am constantly seeing dogs being pushed and pushed and pushed and dogs suddenly exploding and owners describing it as unpredictable behaviour..😔

No no no its not unpredictable behaviour, it's called sensory overload and your dog has reached their limit -

Your dog needs time to process, time to calm and relax, time for the increased adrenaline to drain so high arousal activities such as dog to dog play, sports, ball chasing as well as low activity activities such as visitors coming into the house, deliveries arriving, kids running around the house, noises, passer byes ....in some households it's constant and your dogs tolerance could be slowly getting shorter and shorter.

Help your dog to reset and reduce that adrenaline (cortisol)

It is easy - provide them with opportunities to sniff, lick and chew, search, explore, forage and rest lots of quiet rest, and nice and slow sniffy walks instead of those zoomy fast walks.

This made me chuckle, and I often use a glass of red in my explanations 😂

This is something which really bugs me - just leave them be - there is absolutely no need to take their food bowl away, or sit in their space whilst they are trying to enjoy their meals.

Please just let them have space to enjoy their favourite things and meal times and just leave them be.....they usually have no control or choice throughout their day, life is usually dictated by us, so please just leave them be to enjoy that moment in their day .... Be kind to your pooches 🐾🐾

There are some great ways to prevent food aggression, but messing with, taking or putting your hand in your dogs food is not one of them.

The more we mess with our dogs stuff, the more likely they are to become defensive around it. Just like we might!
