“Am I bribing my dog with treats?” is a question I hear often.
A reward comes after a behaviour and helps the dog learn what worked. A bribe tends to appear after a cue has failed, when we show food to persuade the dog. The difference is in the timing and the training step, not in the piece of food itself.

My new article explains how to hide rewards, fade a food lure, choose the right value and build behaviour in gradually more difficult places.

Puppies need far more sleep than many new owners expect, but an overtired puppy does not always look sleepy. They may become faster, mouthier and much less able to settle.

My new guide looks at total daily rest, daytime naps, signs of overtiredness and how to build a gentle rhythm around play, learning and quiet time.

Does your dog turn away, become still or try to leave when a situation becomes uncomfortable?

These quieter signals can be easy to miss, but noticing them gives you time to reduce pressure before a bigger reaction occurs.

This week’s guide explains what to look for and how to respond:
