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.

Itโ€™s National Black Dog Day!

Here is one of my fave photos of Jura who couldnโ€™t help but make the most of his walks ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ•

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 ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ–ค

Reasons why your dog may shake off.

โ€ข To try and dry off!
โ€ข To remove dirt & debris
โ€ข Due to physical discomfort / pain (wearing a new collar or harness for example)
โ€ข Excitement - trying to lower their arousal levels
โ€ข Stress & anxiety - This happens most often when they have greeted people/dogs
โ€ข 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! ๐Ÿ™‚

Excellent resources for reactive dogs ๐Ÿ• currently with a discount until tomorrow midnight!

Many of my clients with reactive Romanian dogs would have come across this website due to me recommending Meesh, who specialises in these dogs.

Worth checking out if you have a reactive dog, including working with a professional with reward based training methods and experience!

โ€œDoggie Languageโ€

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 ๐Ÿพ

This often puts clients at ease since there is a lot to remember! ๐Ÿ˜…

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.

Welcome

Newfound Hounds provide one-to-one home visits to help owners overcome different issues with their dogs. This may include basic training issues or further help with more complex behavioural issues. These will be looked at through the use of positive techniques and only based on proven scientific principals.

I have studied for a number of years with both theoretical and practical experience which has resulted in gaining a distinction with Compass Education for Foundation of Canine Behaviour Management. This has earned me the title of MISAP. This means I am a full member of the International Society of Animal Professionals. I am also an accredited member of the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) having been assessed on a mixture of training and behavioural issues.

Personal experiences through owning my own dogs has been a real eye opener and it's through our own experiences that we should all stop and reflect on how dogs see the world. This will enable owners to realise that their dream dog has always been there, it's just learning to find him again.

Welcome to Newfound Hounds.
