Beautiful morning for a lesson

It’s so important to listen to your dog’s body language - this boy displays ‘aggression’ when he meets others dogs - but, once the adrenaline has gone - he is able to tell his mum how he really feels about that stranger. This doesn’t mean that the initial reaction can be excused, it means that it might not need to be treated the way you first think……..

A wonderful (if emotionally draining for his mum) 2 hour session with this little rescue boy Max today - his fear (sometimes violent reaction) to being groomed has lead this boy to be uncomfortable due to mats and knots leading to further issues - his lovely parents wanted him to have help with his issues rather than follow a sedation/ clip route - today was the second visit to help Max and his parents - we removed all his knots and he accepted both brush and comb today - mum and dad will now work gently with him daily, this little boy has a lot of issues from his previous life and it’s wonderful to see his new parents want to see him happy and confident in the future - a real feel good day 🥰

2 great lessons this week with Max and Ben - sadly the only picture I took was of the beautiful coral snake that lives in Max’s house 🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ - I will make sure I get pics of the two gorgeous boys when I return to each of their houses 🥰🥰🥰

Lovely session with Tiggs and Ellie in the beautiful grounds of Caldicot Castle this morning, these girls struggle to contain their excitement and can become very active and vocal around unknown dogs, so, you can understand their mum’s happiness at seeing these energetic girls acting like real ladies in this encounter 🥰🥰 - keep up the good work 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Met this beautiful lady today - a victim of the breeding farms created over the puppy boom in Lockdown - this beautiful girl - now named Aoife (Eva)- is around 4 years old - she has a huge mountain to climb, socialising and meeting the world - this includes houses, TV’s, Windows and all manner of things we take for granted - I will support this lady and others like her every step of the way to their rehabilitation- hope to post updates on this girl in time 🥰🥰🥰

A tell tale sign that dogs have worked their brains rather than their bodies during a session - really wonderful session with these two today - never ceases to amaze me just how intelligent, man’s best friend really is 🥰🥰🥰🥰
