Roo's first ever time with a cut like this. She's received mixed reviews. Personally, I think its brought out the poodle in her and I like it. Certainly a lot cooler for her. 🥵😎

What do you think to her new doo?

**Fear of getting into a car** This is Arthur, a 7 month old foreign rescue getting into the car. 👌

A few weeks back Arthur was very unsure about getting into the car. He hesitated, avoided, looked apprehensive and clearly lacked confidence about the task.

It would have been very easy for his owner to:
• lift him in
• avoid the car all together because he looked worried and was refusing to go in
• reassure the avoidance by accepting “he just doesn’t like it”

But this is Breakthru Behaviour and that's just not how we roll. Instead, we show, then encourage, guide and persist and get him through the uncertainty, so the hurdle he's stuck at, he can get over.

When we constantly remove challenge, do everything for the dog, and allow fear to dictate outcomes, dogs never grow. They remain locked into a cycle of fear and avoidance. Today the car, tomorrow walks by busy roads, near people or other dogs. Before long, all you are left with is licky mats and enrichment activities in your home.

Confidence and resilience are built through supporting experiences — not by avoiding every difficult moment.

As you can see Arthur now jumps into the car happily without hesitation 👏

There is a big difference between sympathy and over-accommodating fear.

Now, if he ever needs an emergency vet trip, a journey to a new place, or an adventure away from home, the car itself is no longer part of the problem. His world is bigger now and he has one more string to his bow 👌

Top advice regarding exercising dogs as the weather heats up!👇

I don’t do “sniffy walks” with dogs.

So what is a sniffy walk?

It’s where the dog dictates the entire walk.
The dog moves from scent to scent, bush to bush, while the handler simply follows wherever the dog decides to go.

Now before people misunderstand me — dogs absolutely need opportunities to sniff, explore and decompress. Mine get plenty of that freedom off lead.

But when my dogs are on lead, we are walking together as calm, connected walking partners. They can sniff, but we are not stopping every few steps to sniff.

Why don’t I do sniffy walks?

1. My dogs already get lots of freedom to sniff naturally off lead. Lead walking serves a different purpose — structure, partnership and calm navigation together.

2. Constantly allowing a dog to drag itself from scent to scent creates chaotic lead handling, encourages pulling, and can easily lead to accidents or frustration.

3. Many reactive, anxious or overstimulated dogs actually become more environmentally fixated during these walks. Their brain stays switched onto every movement, smell and trigger instead of learning calm engagement with the handler.

4. A good walk should feel relxed and enjoyable for BOTH ends of the lead — not like you’re being towed around.

5. Clear direction and structure on walks can actually help many dogs feel calmer and safer.
Not every dog benefits from being given complete freedom and constant environmental decision-making — especially anxious, impulsive or reactive dogs.

There’s nothing wrong with allowing a dog to sniff. Sniffing is natural and important. But they don't need their nose constantly engaged. They can smell the air well enough!

If you follow Impackt Behaviour or any of the Impackt team, you'll see we are offering half price assessments during June for owners who have been advised to medicate their dogs or avoid walking your dog for any length of time.

If you can't get to Impackt HQ at Keelby or live closer to one of the team around the UK, please contact their page direct to book your assessment and start your journey with us. We will assess your dog, give you detailed feedback on whats happening for your dog to cause the behaviour taking a holistic approach. Then put you on the right track with out medication or having to do 5am walks because you've been told avoiding triggers works.
