Understanding why your dog chooses certain behaviours is the first step to solving their struggles. Hi, I'm Deb ๐Ÿ‘‹ A qualified dog trainer with a nationally recognised Cert III in Dog Behaviour & Management and a certified Pro Dog Trainer. I specialise in games-based pet dog training with a passion for helping anxious and fearful dogs. My approach goes beyond obedience trainingโ€”it's about understan

ding and meeting your dog's needs, both mentally and physically, through mindful training, good management, and proper nutrition. Together, we'll build strong, positive relationships and create a harmonious environment for you and your furry friend.

Calling all ๐—•๐—˜๐—”๐—š๐—Ÿ๐—˜ parents ๐Ÿ‘‡

Beagles have one of the best noses in the dog world โ€” and there's a very good reason yours sometimes appears to lose all ability to hear you the second that nose hits the ground. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Originally bred as scent hounds, following a trail isn't just something Beagles enjoy... it's pretty much in their DNA.

Sometimes we ask our dogs to do something they're simply not ready for.

It's not because they're stubborn or ignoring us. Sometimes the environment is just asking too much of them. There are too many distractions, too much excitement or too much pressure to think clearly. One of the most powerful things we can do is set our dogs up to succeed. When we adjust the environment to match where they're at, learning becomes so much easier.

Have you ever found that moving to a quieter spot made all the difference?

What if the behaviour you're trying to stop is actually trying to tell you something?

When a dog is barking, lunging, hiding, refusing to walk, struggling with visitors or simply finding everyday life a bit too much, it's easy to focus on stopping the behaviour.

But behaviour doesn't happen for no reason.

At Busy Pawz, I look at what's happening underneath the behaviour first - what your dog might be feeling, what they're struggling with and what they need from you - and then we work out practical ways to make everyday life easier for everyone.

๐Ÿ’ค Is your dog naughty... or just sleepy?

September inside The Calm Dog Project is all about sleep โ€” and whether some of those feral, zoomy, bark-at-everything, completely-forgotten-their-name moments might actually have more to do with being overtired than needing MORE exercise.

We're kicking things off with a discussion about our dogs' sleep, followed by the Naughty or Sleepy? deep dive, a little 7-Day Sleep Experiment, sleep Q&A and our monthly Member Support session.

And of course there'll be plenty of other dog chat along the way!

If you've got a dog who seems completely incapable of switching off, this month might be an interesting one. ๐Ÿ’ค

Sometimes we can get so caught up in training, routines and wanting our dogs to make the "right" choices that we forget to simply let them be dogs.

Let them be silly. Let them play. Let them roll in the grass, zoom around the backyard, carry the ridiculous stick and do things simply because they're fun.

Not every moment needs to be productive. Sometimes our dogs just need the freedom to enjoy being dogs.

Not everything has to be perfect. Not every mistake needs fixing and not every decision needs quite as much overthinking as we sometimes give it.

Maybe this week we could all borrow a little Pug energy and loosen our grip a bit.
