At Busy Pawz, we believe training should feel good for both ends of the lead. When your dog sits for a snack or comes racing back for a treat, they’re not being bribed - they’re learning through trust, motivation, and clear communication.

This week’s blog dives into why positive reinforcement works, how it builds behaviour that lasts, and why there’s no shame in using food as a training tool.

Dogs have over 18 individual muscles controlling their ears allowing them to perk, rotate, and even move each ear separately. It's how they fine-tune their hearing and respond so quickly to every tiny sound (like a treat bag opening two rooms away 😅).

This also explains why ear positions can be a powerful part of your dog’s body language - from alert and focused to relaxed and floppy.

💬 Does your dog have one ear that’s always on its own little mission? Show us their quirkiest ear pose!

Did you know playing games can actually help your dog overcome fears and build real-life skills?

You don’t need to be a drill sergeant or follow a strict routine. Training can be fun, effective, and part of your everyday life.

Games offer safe, engaging ways for your dog to learn confidence, resilience, calmness, and recall in a space where they feel safe.

And when our dogs feel safe, they do their best learning 💛

If that sounds like the kind of training you’ve been looking for, come check out our online course. It’s full of game-based learning designed to support both you and your dog 🐾

It’s a growing trend among owners, but not without controversy. 🐶🌱

Some believe dogs can do well on a carefully balanced vegan diet, while others argue they need animal protein to stay healthy.

Have you tried it - or would you consider it? Let’s hear your views below! 👇

Ever noticed how your dog seems to forget their training the moment something feels “off”?

That’s not stubbornness - it’s stress. Just like us, dogs can’t learn or listen properly when their brain is busy scanning for danger. Safety always comes first.

Helping your dog feel calm and secure isn’t just kind… it actually makes training more effective.

💥 Mistakes aren’t failures. They’re feedback.

It’s easy to feel like you’re going backwards when your dog has an off day but that “mistake” is actually an opportunity to learn.

In this week’s blog, we explore why wobbles are normal, what they really mean, and how you can use them to build lasting calm and confidence.

👉 Read now & feel more grounded in your training journey.

Your dog isn’t keeping score.

They’re not waiting for the “perfect” cue, or judging your timing, or comparing your walk to someone else’s training reel.

They’re watching you.
They’re feeling your energy.
They’re responding to your presence, not your perfection.

At Busy Pawz, we don’t train for perfect. We train for connection.

Because your dog already thinks you’re doing a pretty great job - and when things don’t go quite to plan, they don’t dwell on it. They move forward with you, ready to try again.

Let’s stop striving for flawless and start leaning into together. That’s where the good stuff really happens. 💛

📝 Don’t get stuck in your own head. Your dog doesn’t need a perfect plan - just a starting point.

You don’t have to read every blog, compare every training method, or second-guess your every move.

If you’ve been thinking about starting training, switching up your routine, or trying something new… consider this your nudge. One small step is better than none.

Your dog’s ready when you are.
