I have been animal crazy since I was born and have had a range of animals over the years but the one constant in my life has been dogs. I grew up with Chow Chows and Pyrenean Mountain dogs as family dogs. As a young child I helped train my neighbours Doberman and a family friends Rottweiler and German Shepard (she told me I was 5 when I spent all my time in her garden with both dogs and they learn

t something new after every visit). Later on my parents had an aggressive at everything Shih Tzu which I helped his reactivity and loved the challenge a reactive dog brings and watch them grow. During my 20’s my friend and I helped a charity take dogs from mistreated homes and transported them to their foster home before they were rehomed. These days my parents have a fairly quite in comparison (only dog aggressive to some dogs) Larzarapso and my husband and I have a “Son” (as I don’t do human children), a Doberman who’s 2.5 years. My house, however is always full of all kinds of breeds as 2 of my close friends are dog walkers and 1 is a trainer and the dogs learn to hang out in the same room and not having to interact all the time while we drink coffee - win,win 🤣
Over the years friends and family have told me to qualify as a trainer as they’ve always felt I would be good but life has excuses. My career has always been extremely busy (I travel the country training surgeons and nurses in all things eye surgery and am hardly at home). This year (2023) I’ve decided to allow myself to do something for me and now am qualifying under the "Dog Training College" to put a dream into action!

Rules and boundaries for are expected for children, so why not our dogs?

It’s in (but not limited to)
the training,
the routines,
what food we give our dogs.

These are all things we think about when we have a baby but rarely when we get a puppy

Training your dog around food is so important. It doesn’t just help to have a peaceful dinner time but could help save their lives. Some human food can be dangerous, they can’t pick up everything from the floor or tables.

Having your dog respectful around children isn’t a nice to have, it’s a necessity. We don’t have children ourselves but I knew he would be interacting with them and made sure I trained for these moments to give us ALL the best life

Socialising dogs isn’t what people think. We should teach them to coexist before play and to create a balanced, neutral dog before excitement. This is how we reduce conflict leading to reactivity. Don’t just throw your dog/puppy into a bunch of dogs thinking it’s what you want without being able to watch body language or before you know it you’ll have a dog scared of everything and turning to reactivity because you thought the game was fun.

Vet visits can be stressful but they don’t have to be if we put the work in before we go. Touch drills Generalising commands they know gives clear guidance. Find where they’re most comfortable like targeting on a reward or between my legs. He could and has had injections standing on his own but this is more relaxing for him so why add extra stress.

These videos were exactly one week apart, one last Tuesday and one yesterday. This is why our dogs can’t cope with the heat. They never get 2-3 weeks of consistent heat to adapt to it

Problems of walking in the summer when everything is over grown and you have skin on show, but this stinging nettles got me through my clothes!

I found a cheat code

So that my dog can be with me forever 😭

Spending time with our dogs is a privilege, make the most of it, especially on the days it feels like a chore as one day that chore wont be there💕🐾

What to do on walks when it gets hotter to keep your dog safe. Remember it takes 2 weeks in consistent temperatures for a dog to adapt to their climate so this is important
