🌿 Something new is coming to Alba Dogs… 🐾
I’ve been putting together something I’m really excited about for September.
A small, practical workshop for dog guardians who want to understand their dogs a little better and discover simple things they can do at home to support their dog’s wellbeing.
I’m calling it…
Small Things, Big Difference 💚
Because I’ve learned through my work with sensitive dogs that we don’t always need to do more.
Sometimes we need to slow down.
To observe.
To listen.
To give our dogs choices.
To notice the small changes in their body, movement and behaviour.
And sometimes a very small change in what we do or how we set up our environment can make a surprisingly big difference to how our dog feels.
During the workshop we’ll explore some of the approaches I use with the dogs I work with, including:
🐾 Observation — learning to really see what our dogs are communicating
🐾 Choice — giving our dogs opportunities to make decisions
🐾 ACE Free Work — creating simple sensory experiences that encourage exploration, movement and curiosity
🐾 Tellington TTouch® — exploring gentle touch and learning to listen to our dog’s response
And the best part?
You don’t need lots of equipment or hours of spare time to use these ideas at home.
I’m planning two small workshops on Sunday 27 September:
🌅 10am–12:30pm
🌿 2pm–4:30pm
Each session will have just 4 dog & handler places and 4 observer places, so it will be small, calm and practical.
I’ll be sharing the full details and booking information very soon.
For now, I just wanted to tell you about it…
Small Things, Big Difference.
Because sometimes the smallest changes are the ones our dogs notice most. 🐾💚
Would this be something you’d be interested in?
