Nose to Tail Dog Behaviour

10/03/2025

From my dogwalking days. Positive reinforcement training only. Five Terriers and a Utility breed (Schnauzer). Terriers are a young Parson Russell, Jack Russell, Lakeland and two English Toy Terriers. All five breeds are ones I’ve seen people with that breed only say that is particularly difficult, ‘stubborn’, poor at recall etc. The Parson Russell was challenging, mostly due to factors I could pinpoint in her lifestyle and training history. I had done significant training with her to get her to this point.

I’m seeing more and more shock and prong collars, and generally things that make me flinch. Yesterday a man in Bushy Park kept growling at his dog amongst the orders he shouted at them. From what I could see, a long line and a few treats would have saved him from causing his dog to have a horrible time, and him looking like, quite frankly, not a nice person. I was going to say ‘caveman’ but I think they would have been more in tune with how to work with our fellow animals on this earth.

Settling in cafes & pubs. No photo of client dog so mine instead. I’ve been working with a Goldendoodle and human, whilst at a cafe (after doing some work on it in their home). If we can crack it, human can take her dog on family holidays rather than her going into boarding, and she can take her with her to more of her activities in the week, rather than leaving her at home! When I started working with them, the dog was in a daycare 2-4 times a week that was exacerbating behaviour problems, because she couldn’t be left at home alone. We’ve nailed that issue, so she stays at home and has a dogwalker if needed. Now, we want her to be able to go out with the family more.

Also, providing me with more happiness is clients buying the harness I recommend for them! Here’s a Show Cocker puppy with smallest size, and an English Toy Terrier puppy with Red Dingo smallest size (not a lot of harnesses fit just arrived toy breed dogs! He’ll have more choices in a few months, including the smallest size). This one fits perfectly for now, and isn’t escapable for a breed with a relatively small head and large chest ratio, and very slippery!

Happiness is… arriving at a puppy client’s home to find they’ve bought the machine washable rugs I recommend, to prevent puppy slipping around. Slipping about on hard floors contributes to musculoskeletal problems developing, which in can also contribute to behaviour issues. Getting rugs appears in my recommendations for adult dogs with behaviour problems, so often.
I hate seeing puppys play on slippy floors, and older dogs with tense, grippy posture when they’re trying to stand still in it.

Beat the budget doggy food prep.
1. Pig kidney for high value treats for Uma’s eye drops (she has 6 drops a day. After about 20 months of a lot of drops, she’s still excited when I say ‘eye drop time!’
2. Veggie scrap meal addition (to go with their raw food. Carrot, cavalo nero & red cabbage in a tiny bit of coconut oil. This is nutrient laden but also helps bulk out their food with low calories, or I give it to them as a snack/treat.
It’s easy to do whilst I do my weekly food prep on a Sunday/Monday!
