Are you struggling with your reactive dog?

Meet Daisy 🐾

When Daisy first came to me, she would overreact in many everyday situations, especially around other dogs.

By focusing on building her optimism, improving her coping skills, and helping her learn to self-regulate her arousal levels, she has achieved an incredible transformation.

Today, Daisy can confidently meet, greet, and disengage from both dogs and environmental distractions, whatever the situation throws at her.

Watching her grow in confidence and resilience has been amazing, and her progress is a testament to what can be achieved with the right support and understanding.

I write this with tears in my eyes.

I’ve just watched the end of Clarkson’s Farm, and it leaves me wondering how many people truly understand and care about animals.

In my industry, advice is handed out left, right and centre, and far too much of it is outdated, misguided, or based on methods that put convenience before welfare.

It’s heartbreaking to see how often animals pay the price for ignorance, poor education, and a lack of empathy.

I know there are incredible people working tirelessly to improve animal welfare, but sometimes it feels like we’re still a long way from giving animals the understanding, respect, and care they deserve.

We can and must do better.

The Sunday geek out šŸ’™

During adolescence, the brain starts to reshape itself. That pesky little drama almond — the amygdala — becomes much more influential, and suddenly dogs experience the world in a far more emotional way. Things that were once easy can become a big deal overnight!

So, what do we do?

šŸŽ² Games, games, and more games!
🧩 Problem-solving activities
✨ Loads and loads of positive associations

Instead of focusing on obedience and perfection, we help adolescent dogs build confidence, resilience, and optimism. By making learning fun and rewarding, we can guide them through this rollercoaster stage while strengthening our relationship with them.

Remember: your dog isn’t giving you a hard time — they’re having a hard time navigating a brain that’s under renovation! šŸ—ļøšŸ•šŸ’›

Thank you so much for the amazing review, Rollo and mum DannišŸ’™

ā€˜You’d be proud! No barks no lunges at my nephew today all day! We played mouse and distracted her, she didn’t even bark the whole time whilst he was in the house!! Now’s she’s decompressing in bed!

She’s been fantastic ! Thanks so much! She’s chilling out in bed now with all her covers. Small walk and sniff around again later. So much improvement!’

How do we achieve amazing results with our reactive students?

We ask the owners to do what we call ā€œDo and Review.ā€

We ask them to take their dog on a teaching walk one day, then give them a bucket holiday the next day and let their nervous system settle. Using that time to review what went well, what could be done better, and whether any changes need to be made to their training plan.

Remember, learning happens during recovery too.

If there really struggling, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with giving the dog two or three days for their nervous system to settle before heading back out. In fact, for many dogs, that’s exactly what they need.

Sometimes progress isn’t about doing more—it’s about giving the brain and body the time they need to process, recover, and come back stronger. šŸ’™šŸ¾

Are you struggling with your nervous reactive dog?

Meet Wicket šŸ’™

When this young man first came to me he had sadly lost his two brothers and was struggling to navagate the world himself

Which made him very nervous to ambigious situations especially dogs!

So we played fun games that really grew concepts including optimism and disengagement skills and taught him how to really power himself up!

Look at him now, he can be off lead around dogs and show calm emotional responses! Such an amazing improvement in 4 one to ones!

The Friday Punishment Post!

Folks, it’s so important that you don’t listen to people who advise using slip leads, prong collars, choke chains, or e-collars to ā€œsolveā€ your dog’s behaviour issues.

I’ve recently had someone get in touch whose dog has serious gut health issues (often referred to as the body’s ā€œsecond brainā€). The dog has now started fighting back against the punishment-based methods they were advised to use.

When someone uses the word punishment, that should immediately make you stop and think. Ask yourself this:

Would you punish someone you love for struggling?

Dogs aren’t being difficult to upset us. Behaviour is communication. If a dog is struggling, we should be looking for the cause, not reaching for tools that rely on discomfort, fear, or pain.

So when someone tells you to use an e-collar, prong collar, choke chain, or slip lead as a solution, take a moment and ask yourself:

Does my dog deserve this, or do they deserve understanding and support?

šŸ’™ Just a quick note: if you try to defend the use of punishment-based tools, your comment will be hidden. I’m not interested in debating the use of fear, pain, or intimidation as training methods.
