PERSISTENT BARKING is often misunderstood.
Many people assume that a barking dog is simply excited, playful, or “having fun,” but according to Behaviourist Lae Monier, excessive vocalisation is rarely a sign of enjoyment. In many cases, persistent barking is an indication that the dog is experiencing stress, anxiety, frustration, or emotional overwhelm.
Barking is a form of communication. It can be a dog’s attempt to seek help, create distance, release tension, or gain attention when they are struggling to cope with their environment. Rather than dismissing the behaviour as “bad” or “annoying,” it is important to ask why the dog feels the need to vocalise so intensely in the first place.
A mentally fulfilled and emotionally balanced dog typically has less need to bark excessively. This is why understanding canine body language, emotional regulation, enrichment, and appropriate outlets for stress is so important.
A noisy dog is not always a “naughty” dog. Often, it is a dog asking for support in the only way they know how.

WHATS THE DOG SAYING?
A dog's tail expresses a lot about their feelings. Check out the poster to understand what each tail position signifies, and remember to look at the whole dog for complete communication. To interpret what a dog is conveying, consider these three key aspects: 1. Knowledge, 2. Understanding body language, and 3. Being familiar with the dog you're observing. EDUCATION, EDUCATION, EDUCATION!

I'm also advocating for the inclusion of animal and environmental welfare education in UK schools. If you think this could improve dog-human interactions and communication, please consider signing my petition at • https://c.org/pvS8tVJGcP and sharing it at • https://c.org/TwxqZRYNPy.

THE REALITY OF RESCUE CENTRES THE REALITY OF RESCUE CENTRES
There is a common implication that these centres are havens for dogs. It’s an idea that gets glorified on social media, but I want everyone who thinks rescue centres are the answer to the dog crisis to actually THINK. If these organisations were truly the answer, the number of animals in need would have decreased to almost zero by now. Instead, even with major groups like the RSPCA, Blue Cross, and Dogs Trust operating for decades, the plight of dogs is actually getting worse.
THE BEHAVIOURIST'S PERSPECTIVE: The reality is that for many of these organisations, the main concern is money and revenue. They use dogs to bring in funding. They make you feel sorry for an animal by highlighting the most desperate cases, while doing as little research as possible on the background of potential adopters. They assign dogs to almost anyone who wants one, which is not the conduct of an organisation truly on the side of the animal.
THE PROPORSAL REFORM: The first thing a rescue centre should do to help is provide education. I believe that the moment someone looks at a dog, they should be given an extensive questionnaire. This shouldn't just be a formality; it needs to be a deep dive into their experience and knowledge of dog behaviour in various situations. Centres avoid this because they say it "stifles" adoption—but I say, good! It should be a lengthy process because, right now, rescue dogs are being assigned to handlers who should be 100 miles away from a dog.
THE ROLE OF THE BEHAVIOURIST: Furthermore, if an adopter passes that questionnaire, the next step must involve spending significant time—days, weeks, or even months—with the centre’s behaviourist. I should note that while many centres claim to have a behaviourist, in reality, none of them actually do. A real professional would help the adopter and the dog experience different situations together. This is vital for reactive or aggressive dogs, where the behaviourist can provide careful training on how to manage and overcome challenging situations.
BREAKING THE CYCLE OF ANXIETY: We also have to talk about temperament vetting. Many adopters are unsu
