Newfound Hounds Dog Behaviour And Training

08/10/2025

Another reminder to check out 'The Dogs Point Of View' website if you are considering taking on a romanian or overseas dog - this one is completely FREE and I promise WILL help you.

So many of my clients wished they got the help early on to prepare themselves for these unique but amazing dogs! Ofcourse, plenty of other courses on the website to check out also :-)

If you're adopting a Romanian Rescue Dog (or overseas rescue dog) this FREE Webinar from Meesh Masters together with a New Adopters PDF file can help you set yourself up for a successful adoption.

Having finally paid a visit to The Health and Hounds shop in wotton, I can absolutely recommend a visit. Very helpful staff, and great choices of natural chews including great gift ideas for Christmas! It’s always good to see a shop welcoming dogs. Who can resist when you get to see such happy faces like these 😀🐕🦴 ❤️

Let’s support local businesses!

It’s National Black Dog Day!

Here is one of my fave photos of Jura who couldn’t help but make the most of his walks 😅🐕

This day is designed to help more black dogs get adopted from shelters who are often overlooked. Jura sure was a good looking dog with those orange eyes 🧡🖤

Feel free to share your black dogs 😀

Reasons why your dog may shake off.

• To try and dry off!
• To remove dirt & debris
• Due to physical discomfort / pain (wearing a new collar or harness for example)
• Excitement - trying to lower their arousal levels
• Stress & anxiety - This happens most often when they have greeted people/dogs
• A way of communicating - Some dogs use this as a way of defusing potential aggression and calming the situation down. For example, when play fighting is becoming to intense.

I love to see a dog shake off! particularly after greeting a person or a dog since I know that dog is physically shaking off built up adrenaline and tension. Things are likely to go a lot smoother from then on.

This involuntary action helps to lower their pulse and self-regulate their nervous system. Therefore less likely to show unwanted behaviours.

So...take note of how often your dog shakes off, it might be more often than you think! 🙂

“Doggie Language”

I highly recommend Lili Chins body language book for dog owners. This is written and illustrated by Lili who also owns Dog Decoder.com - a great website on body language.

We never stop learning what our dogs are communicating to us and it is up to us to understand this before they take matters into their own hands!

Due to the nature of my behaviour consults and how complex some cases can be. A report and behaviour modification plan are always written up afterwards to ensure you can revisit every detail 🐾

This often puts clients at ease since there is a lot to remember! 😅

Contact me for further info if requiring help with your dog 🐕

Most of you know me well for my behaviour consultations dealing with dog to dog reactivity.

But did you know we also offer one to one puppy training, as well as covering training issues such as pulling on the lead, unwanted jumping up or barking.

One to one sessions ensure you have the chance to cover all your training issues in depth, with no pressure and without distractions from other people and their dogs.
