⭐️From excessive barking at the neighbours dog to calm ⭐️

Luna was fearful of the neighbours dog which resulted in excessive barking in the garden!

Who doesn’t enjoy sitting in the garden when the weather is nice? But it wouldn’t be so relaxing with a dog constantly barking

Luna’s family have now been able to enjoy garden time this summer and Luna feels more safe and confident ❤️

Imagine being able to walk your reactive dog and enjoy walks again!

Walking a reactive dog can feel stressful, unenjoyable and embarrassing.

That’s what walks looked like for my client. Milo would bark and lunge at dogs during walks.

So throughout the training we worked on changing his emotional response to dogs and now walks are looking totally different now! Milo chooses to ignore dogs and instead focus on Mum.

Do you wish your dog would focus on you instead of barking and lunging at dogs?

Drop me a DM and start your journey and start enjoying your walks again!

They’re not all dog related believe it or not 🤪

You may be able to exchange a dog training session for tacos. Very much depends on the circumstances and my need for tacos at the time 😉🌮

Any of these suprising to you?

If your anxious dog refuses treats outside, it’s likely because the environment is overwhelming, and stress is shutting down their appetite. But don’t worry—you can help them feel more comfortable and engaged!

Here’s how to turn things around:

🍖 Upgrade Your Treats – Use high-value, smelly treats like chicken, cheese, or pate to grab their attention.

🎯 Build Confidence at Home First – Play fun, reward-based games indoors to create positive training habits.

🏡 Take It Step by Step – Start in a familiar space like the back garden, then progress to the front garden before heading into busier environments.

🌍 Introduce Distractions Gradually – Slowly increase the challenge by practicing in quiet outdoor areas before moving to more stimulating places.

By keeping training fun, structured, and rewarding, you’ll help your dog feel safe, engaged, and ready to take treats—even in distracting environments!

Here’s what I did…

You will notice my dog makes the decision to come back to me when spotting the dog. I don’t need to say anything. 🤐

✅ Firstly, you need to work at a distance you know your dog can cope with and without going over threshold, otherwise you are setting them up to fail

✅ Use a long line so the dog can have some freedom and not feel restricted. Also limits any lead tension

✅ Let your dog look at the trigger, use a marker word - “good”, “yes”

✅ Your dog comes running back. Reward with their favourite treats or use play

Ever Wondered Why Your Puppy Isn’t Listening? 🤔🐾

Is your puppy:
❌ Ignoring you?
❌ Chewing everything in sight?
❌ Acting extra hyper or bitey?

The Problem Might Be… LACK OF SLEEP! 😴

Puppies need 18–20 hours of sleep every day. Without enough rest, you might notice:

🚩 Increased Destructive Behavior (chewing, digging, tearing things up)
🚩 Biting & Nipping More Than Usual
🚩 Hyperactivity or Zoomies That Won’t Stop
🚩 Ignoring You
🚩 Overreacting to Sounds, People, or Other Dogs
🚩 Whining for No Clear Reason

How to Fix This:

✅ Encourage Rest– Balance playtime, training, and naps.
✅ Watch for Tiredness Cues – Yawning, after play, struggling to focus.
✅ Provide a Quiet, Cozy Space – Use a crate or a calm corner for undisturbed sleep.

Remember: A “naughty” puppy is often just an overtired puppy. Encourage rest. 💤

Did you know 10 minutes of scentwork is the equivalent of an hours walk?! 🤯

Other benefits:

🔷 Low impact, which makes it a perfect activity for dogs with medical/mobility issues

🔷 Reduces cortisol levels which helps to relax dogs

🔷 Mentally stimulating for dogs, which can contribute towards undesired behaviours due to frustration

🔷 The best part? ANY DOG can do this! Regardless of age, breed. You are doing something that is natural to them, sniffing is how they see their world
