Should I breed my dog? 🐾

18/11/2025

"So when someone says:“I’m going to let her have a litter…”I’m asking please don’t.

Dogs do NOT need to have puppies.It doesn’t settle them.It doesn’t benefit them.And right now, people can’t even sell the puppies they’re producing — which means those dogs are ending up exactly where rescues can’t cope."

Teddy 🐾 This BEAUTIFUL (and I do not exaggerate, he is STUNNING) boy has some attachment issues and so his humans have brought me on board to help him gently build his independence.
🐾
Here's what I know about ...
1. Crate training is NOT the solution if your dog is performing an unwanted behaviour
2. Leaving them to cry out is NOT helpful
3. You have to start with zero and build up VERY slowly
4. Many dogs will require medication to make headway

Bentley & Teddie 🐾
♡
I am a bit late introducing these guys, massive apologies! They have joined me to learn how to use their indoor voices a little more. Overall though, they are lovely dogs and no doubt fast learners!

Errol 🐾
♡
This beautiful girl has just moved house and is a little unsettled. We are going to help regulate her nervous system with routine, sleep and enrichment.
♡
After that, she needs to learn to manage on her own. I have every faith that there is a brave girl under all that beauty!

Vinnie 🐾
♡
This little guy and his human have really moved me. So far, I would say he is the most traumatised dog I have treated in clinical practice.
♡
Vinnie is terrified of EVERYTHING, but with the love of an understanding caregiver he is improving every day. At 9M old he has already been neutered (at 4M), transported from Hungary and rehomed. He is so lucky that he has landed where he has.
♡
Vinnie's story is unfortunately not an unusual one. That is why I struggle to advocate for rescuing from overseas these days, as the dog is rarely the way that they have been advertised. PLEASE, tell your friends and family to be CAREFUL when they take on a dog from an unregulated charity.
♡
Please join me in welcoming Vinnie and his human to the family ❤️ You are safe here!

When you join About Your Dog you join a community of like minded caregivers. I have found that a sense of community helps people to feel less isolated, thereby keeping everybody motivated.
♡
Not only that, this is a judgement free zone. So you're safe with me.

We cannot make change when we are not in the right emotional state for learning. So, here at About Your Dog MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS!
♡
I never want you OR your dog to feel overwhelmed or defeated. Anything you might find frustrating or scary will be approached in small, manageable steps with as much support as you need. And, I promise to always hear things from your perspective ❤️
♡
Your dog has mental health too, so we pay him just as much attention. We work a lot on establishing consent, as control helps our dogs to feel safe. If you care about your dog as an emotional, sentient individual, you are in the right place!
