The GSD Hub with Jenny Gould

29/08/2025

🔤 Breaking everything down into individual skills makes for much easier explanations to our GSDs. It is like teaching the alphabet letter by letter as opposed to jumping from A-D for example.

☯️ These skills will overlap and influence so many different situations and problem areas. Whatever your problem area do not underestimate how improving your basic foundations can really make all the difference!

👀 Lets take eye contact and have a look at how positively this impacts leadwalking and impulse control for example.....

As opposed to biting me through frustration when she wants something Tove has realised that eye contact is a damn good bet to earn what she wants...whether that be getting to the muddy puddle or earning her toy back after a release.

Pulling does not work, checking in with eye contact does. Biting me or trying to sn**ch the toy back off me does not work but eye contact does. You get the idea. It needs teaching thoroughly and methodically before you can expect it to become automatic.

✅✅✅ Teaching eye contact won't automatically solve all your problems but many problems are easier solved if you do!

Ditch the Label!

We need to be mindful of the past but live in the present and concentrate on the future.

It is human nature to look backwards. Of course it is pertinent to acknowledge our dog's genetics and understand the breed's intrinsic traits and characteristics. It is also sensible to understand how upbringing and negative experiences can influence the dog we see in front of us.

What is not helpful however is labelling our dogs whilst passing through the many stages on their way to maturity. Understand that these phases do not define who your dog is. Also understand that behaviour is fluid.

Your dog goes through a fear phase. He is labelled as anxious. Your dog goes through a bolshy stage with other dogs. He is labelled as aggressive. Your dog goes through a hormonal stage. She is labelled as an airhead.

Do not underestimate how YOUR mindset can also influence your dog's behaviour. Do not imprison your dog into these categories forever.

Work through each of these stages proactively and positively but ditch that label!

After all a teenage human watching p**n does not automatically become a s*x offender!

The hands of time ⏱....

The inevitability of owning dogs is that, if we are lucky, we get to care for them through their senior years.

Whether they are much loved famiy pets or super famous sports dogs we owe them the same level of attention and support.

One of the most important considerations is that their twilight years should be as comfortable and as pain free as possible.

Regular, controlled exercise is an absolute must but I also like to include regular checkups and treatment with a physio vet. I am lucky to claim access to the wonderful Tamsin O'Brien who offers fabulous integrated treatments and keeps my dogs as fit and as strong as possible throughout their lives.

It never fails to amaze me how the subtle exercises she recommends can have such a marked effect on their pain levels and movement.

My Jimmy Bean was 12.5 years old in this pic and was very fortunate not to require any conventional pain medication.

Acupuncture, laser treatment and water treadmill sessions were all part of his "spa day" with Tamsin and he absolutely loved it all!

Which treatments or supplements do you utilise for your senior citizens?

The GSD Hub Club has evolved massively since it's beginning almost 2 years ago!

For this I thank my members. The Club is member led and without their support and input it would never have become the Club it is today!
