Happy Halloween! 👻🎃

We’re looking forward to welcoming all our little ghosts, witches and monsters tonight! But let’s not forget our four-legged friends.

Here are 5 quick tips to keep everyone safe:

🐾 1. Create a safe space – Give your dog somewhere quiet to relax, away from the front door.

🔊 2. Put some music on – Help drown out the doorbell, knocking and excited voices.

🍬 3. Keep sweets and chocolate away – Many Halloween treats are toxic to dogs.

🕷️ 4. Watch those decorations – Keep candles, wires and small decorations out of paws’ reach.

🎃 5. Respect dogs’ space – Always ask before approaching or stroking someone else’s dog.

As for Tucker, he’ll be spending Halloween in the kitchen with some music on, blissfully unaware of all the trick-or-treaters! 😂🐶 No disturbances for him tonight!

Have a spooktacular evening and stay safe! 🧡

UPDATE: HUNTER IS HOME 🐈🏡

Can everyone please keep watch for Hunter?

He got out of his cat carrier on the way home from the vet’s 😢 he won’t know the area so may be even more skittish than usual!

NEW HERE? HERE’S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME! 💚

For those who are new to my page, I thought I’d share a little reminder of who’s behind YES! Canine Behaviour & Training!

I’m Holly, and I’ve been running YES! Canine for over 4 years now. I have a BSc (Hons) in Animal Behaviour and Welfare (Clinical) and have worked with dogs in a variety of settings, including boarding and rescue kennels, dog walking, training and behaviour. I also work part-time for Support Dogs, an assistance dog charity 🐶

My particular passion is helping anxious, reactive and overwhelmed dogs feel happier and more confident in everyday life. I love helping owners understand why their dogs behave the way they do and finding practical, tailored ways to help, always without judgement 💚

Away from work, I’m married, a mum to two girls (my daughter and step-daughter), and we have our own dog, Tucker, our much-loved 4-year-old Labrador! 🐾

Whether you’ve followed me for years or have only recently found my page, thank you for being here and supporting my little business!

And if you’re struggling with your dog or looking for some training support, my messages are always open 😊

THIS is what reactivity training should look like! 💚

No big reactions. No dramatic moments. No expectation that every dog needs to say hello. Just calm choices, plenty of space, and a dog learning that seeing other dogs doesn’t have to be a big deal 🐶

Yesterday, Max joined me for his 2nd follow-up session, and I honestly couldn’t have been happier with him! 🥰 We must have seen at least 15 dogs throughout our session, and he was fantastic from start to finish.

He made lovely choices, stayed calm around other dogs and even politely greeted a couple when they unexpectedly came into his space

And that’s what progress looks like! 🙌 Not necessarily ignoring every dog or getting everything perfect, but being able to navigate the world more calmly, make better choices and feel more comfortable in situations that may once have been difficult.

Reactivity training isn’t about forcing dogs to cope. It’s about giving them the space, skills and confidence to make better decisions for themselves 💚

Sometimes, the best sessions are the ones where nothing particularly exciting happens… and that’s exactly the point! 🐾

Well done, Max! You smashed it. 👏💚

Meet Freyja! 🐾

Freyja has joined her dad, Link, on his ongoing Pawsome Progress package to get her training journey off to the best possible start.

With Link still navigating adolescence, now is the perfect time to focus on building a strong relationship with both dogs, creating good habits, and helping everyone learn how to communicate and work together as a team.

We’ll be focusing on confidence, engagement, life skills and setting both dogs up for success as they continue to grow and develop.

Freyja has already stolen a few hearts with those beautiful eyes, and we’re looking forward to watching her progress alongside Link over the coming months 💚
