Training is just one piece of the puzzle…
When things aren’t going smoothly with your dog’s behaviour, it’s easy to think,
"We just need more training."
However, training is just one part of the picture...
Here are some of the aspects of your dog's life that influence their behaviour choices:
✔️ Sleep
✔️ Diet
✔️ Pain and health
✔️ Stress levels
✔️ Breed needs
✔️ Daily routines
✔️ Environment
✔️ Emotional safety
…all have a huge impact on how your dog behaves and responds.
Sometimes, a “training issue” is really a “needs not being met” issue.
Sometimes it’s stress, or discomfort, or a dog simply trying to cope the only way they know how.
Good training is about more than skills.
It’s about looking at your whole dog. Helping them feel safe, supported, and understood.
