ONE SMALL THING TUESDAY 🐾

Before asking your dog to do something today, spend five seconds watching them first.

Where is their attention?

What is their body doing?

Are they able to engage with you right now?

Are they sniffing, watching, listening, resting, processing — or perhaps already communicating that they need a moment?

We can become so used to giving cues that sometimes we forget to check whether our dogs are actually in a place where responding is easy.

So today’s one small thing is simply:

Observe before you ask.

Those few seconds can tell us whether to cue, wait, change the environment, offer support… or decide that what we were about to ask really isn’t necessary after all.

Sometimes better communication begins with saying nothing.

Worried about the cost of behaviour support? 🐾

Many guardians are surprised to learn that some pet insurance policies may help cover behaviour consultations.

Because policies vary, it’s always worth checking directly with your insurer to see:

✔ Whether behavioural support is included

✔ Whether a veterinary referral is required

✔ What level of cover is available

As an INTODogs Accredited Canine Behaviourist (KSA) and UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter member, I’m happy to provide invoices and supporting documentation where appropriate.

A quick phone call to your insurer could save you money and help your dog access support sooner. 🩵

🌿 Tiny Toxins: Paws Off Plants 🐾
(A little series combining my love of plants and pets 🌿🐶)

Today’s tiny check: Foxglove
Those tall spikes of colourful flowers?
Absolutely stunning.
Snack? Definitely not 😅

Foxglove contains cardiac glycosides, which can affect the heart if eaten.

For some dogs, signs may include:
🐾 Vomiting
🐾 Drooling
🐾 Weakness
🐾 Changes in heart rhythm
🐾 Collapse

Thankfully, most dogs aren’t interested in eating foxgloves.

But if you have a curious puppy or an enthusiastic gardener’s helper, it’s worth knowing they’re best admired rather than sampled.

🐾 One small thing to do today:
✔ Know where foxgloves are growing in your garden.
✔ Supervise curious dogs around new plants.
✔ If you’re planning a pet-friendly garden, consider choosing non-toxic alternatives where possible.

Knowledge today can help prevent an emergency tomorrow 🩵

Gold stars, tail wags & kind words… 🐾✨

This one really meant a lot to read 🩵
There is nothing more special than seeing two dogs begin to feel safe around each other, and knowing their humans feel supported along the way.

I never expect reviews — but I am always incredibly grateful for them. They help other guardians find support when things feel overwhelming or uncertain.

If you’ve ever worked with me and feel comfortable sharing your experience, you’re very welcome to do so here 🩵

There’s no pressure, and it doesn’t need to be perfect — a few words is more than enough.

Fun, not formality. Always. 🐾

The UK Fireworks Consultation is open — and your voice matters.

The Government is currently asking for views on the future of fireworks legislation.

But I know that sometimes wanting to take action and actually having the time, energy or capacity to sit down and work out what on earth you're supposed to write are two very different things.

So, I've tried to make it easier.

I've created a free resource on the Mutts & Mischief website explaining how you can have your say, along with a ready-to-use letter that you can simply copy and paste to your MP.

You don't have to write a perfect letter.

You don't have to spend hours researching what to say.

You don't even have to personalise the template if you don't have the capacity to do so.

If you want to add your own experiences, you absolutely can. But if all you can manage today is copy, paste, add your details and send — that still counts.

🐾 Companion animals.
🦮 Assistance and service dogs.
🐄 Livestock.
🦔 Wildlife.
🧠 People whose nervous systems and wellbeing are affected by unpredictable fireworks.

There are so many voices that deserve to be part of this conversation.

I've done my best to remove some of the barriers to taking part.

All you need to do is visit the website, copy the letter and have your say.

👉 Access the free guide and copy-and-paste MP letter here:

Heat can make big feelings feel bigger.

When the body is working hard to stay cool, there’s often less capacity left for coping with the world.

Your dog may seem:

🐾 more reactive
🐾 more frustrated
🐾 less focused
🐾 quicker to become overwhelmed

It isn’t stubbornness.

Sometimes it’s simply a hot brain and body trying to cope.

Heat without shame.
