A dog yawns in training.
Seems simple dxcept six different scientific lenses might tell you six completely different things.

The Stress Lens:
It is a calming signal, the dog is feeling pressure or conflict. Slow down, take the heat off.

The Physiology Lens:
Yawning oxygenates the brain. The dog might actually be gearing up for sharper focus.

The Social Bonding Lens:
It is contagious, they are mirroring you. That is connection, not conflict.

The Neuro Lens:
Yawning cools the brain to keep arousal in the learning zone. The dog is self-regulating.

The Operant Lens:
You have reinforced it without realising, it is just another behaviour in their toolbox.

The Vet Behaviour Lens:
It could be nausea or pain. You might need a health check, not a training tweak.

Same moment.
Six explanations.
Six opposite responses.

Here is the kicker, in the real world, you do not get time to flick through the textbooks before you act.

You have got seconds.
You have got context.
You have got your gut.

And that gut only gets sharp from miles on the lead, hours with dogs, and enough mistakes to know what the right call feels like.

Science gives us frameworks.
Experience lets us use them in the moment.

Now I have arrived at your home,
everything is strange, and I don't feel good.

Do not feel impatient
If i don't sleep in my newbasket.
Yesterday, I slept on a stone floor.

Do not be terrified if i gobble up my food.
Yesterday. I had to do it to survive.

Do not get angry if I p*e on your floor.
Yesterday, it did not matter.

Do not be sad if I am afraid of your loving hand. Yesterday, I did not have one.

Have patience with me, it's your world
but not yet mine.

If I trust you, I can give you the greatest
Gift Ihave to give..
My Heart ❤️

Please never forget, I was a pound dog
All I need, is a bit of time to adjust.

🐾 **Calling All New Puppy Parents!** 🐾

Are you prepared to embark on a journey that transforms your adorable little furball into the well-mannered companion of your dreams?

With three decades of dog training experience under my belt, I’m here to provide you with the tools and techniques to navigate the charming (and occasionally chaotic) world of puppy ownership!

Allow me to introduce my One to One Puppy Training Program, A thorough 3-month course designed to meet weekly, addressing all the fundamental skills your puppy needs while troubleshooting any minor challenges that may arise. 🐶✨

From the very first day, your puppy requires:
- A thoughtful introduction to their new environment (and all those intriguing new smells!)

- Proper socialisation skills, because let’s be honest, not every squirrel is a friend!

- Guidance on navigating vet visits (and how to avoid the notorious “let’s pretend I’m a statue” act)

- Basic training to ensure they learn commands like “sit” and “stay,” rather than mastering the art of “jumping on the couch and stealing your sandwich.”

In our sessions, we’ll cover everything you need, from effective at-home training techniques and outings to various locations, to essential social skills that will help your puppy thrive in any setting.

Together, we’ll ensure your pup is ready to be the life of the party (or at least not the one barking at the postman)

But wait, there’s more! I'm not just a distant trainer; I’m here to support you every step of the way! If you have a burning question or encounter a puppy tantrum that needs immediate attention, simply reach out to me on WhatsApp. I’ll respond faster than your pup can chase their tail! 📱🐕

Let’s make this puppy journey not just educational but enjoyable for both you and your new furry family member.

Sign up today, and let’s embark on this adventure together, setting the stage for a lifetime of companionship and joy!

🐾✨ Hey there, fellow dog enthusiasts!

Let’s take a moment to pause and chat about our beloved furry companions! 🐶❤️

We all know that being a dog parent comes with its own set of unique challenges.

So,

what’s the biggest hurdle you’re currently facing with your pup? Is it the ongoing tug-of-war for that coveted spot on the couch? The perplexing mystery of the missing shoes? Or perhaps the never-ending adventure of finding the right bathroom spot for those critical potty breaks? 🚽🐕

If you could wave a magic wand and resolve just ONE of those pesky issues, which one would you choose? 🪄✨ And how do you think fixing that single dilemma would enhance your daily life?

Would it mean more cozy snuggle sessions? A significant reduction in barking? Or maybe even the triumphant return of your favorite pair of shoes? 😂👟

We’d love to hear your stories and insights!

Let’s come together, share some laughs, and support one another on this delightful journey of being dog parents! 🐕💬

🌟🐾 **Discovering the Perfect Dog Trainer: Embracing a Holistic Approach!** 🐾🌟

Hello, fellow dog enthusiasts! 🐶💖

Have you ever realised that training your canine companion goes far beyond mere commands like "sit" or "stay"?

It’s a bit like trying to unravel a complicated family tapestry while balancing on a tightrope! 🎪🔥 That's why seeking out a holistic dog trainer is essential for a successful journey.

Here at The Boodan Way, we firmly believe that you can't simply "train out" behavioral issues.

A dog's actions often mirror the emotional landscape of the family they belong to. Just like humans, our four-legged friends experience a spectrum of feelings! 🐕💞

If you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed, your dog might wonder, “Is this a circus act?” 🤹‍♂️

We recognise that every family unit is distinct, and our mission is to assist you in navigating the delightful yet sometimes challenging world of dog training, all while keeping a cheerful disposition.

😄 Remember, you can’t magically transform a timid owner into a commanding drill sergeant overnight. However, with the right support and guidance, you can cultivate the confidence needed to be the strong leader your pup looks up to! 💪🐕

Dogs are inherently wired to seek out strong leadership, and they thrive on confidence rather than uncertainty. So let’s collaborate to forge a bond of trust and respect. After all, who wouldn’t aspire to be the "paw-sitive" role model in their dog’s life? 🐾✨

Are you ready to embark on this enlightening journey with us?

The Boodan Way is dedicated to providing unwavering support as you and your furry friend blossom together! 🌈🐕

Let’s unleash the incredible potential within your family and your beloved pup! 🐾💖

🐾✨ As a second-generation dog trainer with over 30 years of experience, I have witnessed firsthand the emotional rollercoaster that comes with training our furry companions.

It’s a journey filled with joy, frustration, and everything in between. I know the struggles all too well, the late night barking, the stubbornness, the moments of doubt when you wonder if you’re doing everything wrong.

I want to take a moment to recognise the dedication it takes to train a dog.

It’s not just about teaching commands; it’s about building a bond, understanding their needs, and navigating the challenges together.

I’ve had the privilege of supporting hundreds of dog owners through these very struggles, showing them that they are not alone and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Every bark, every wag, every moment of frustration is part of the journey to a fulfilling relationship with your dog.

I’ve seen the transformation in families who, after overcoming their challenges, are able to fully enjoy the incredible companionship that only a dog can provide.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, remember that it’s okay to seek help.

Together, we can get back on track and rediscover the joy of having a dog. Let’s embrace this beautiful journey together, one paw at a time. 🐶
