Three weeks ago, Sasha couldn't see another dog in the distance without barking, lunging, and reacting.

Today, she's calmly walking alongside another dog and even enjoying positive interactions.

This transformation didn't happen overnight. Through careful counterconditioning, we gradually changed the sight of other dogs from something scary to something positive.

Week 3, and the progress speaks for itself. 🐾

To some people this might look simple — but for these owners, walks like this once felt completely impossible due to reactivity.

Through a few 1:1 training sessions, controlled exposure work with carefully selected stooge dogs, and building confidence at the dogs’ pace, we’ve gone from stressful walks to this kind of freedom 🌿🐕

Reactivity training isn’t about forcing dogs into situations they can’t cope with — it’s about helping them feel safe, calm, and able to make better choices.

Watching dogs and owners enjoy walks together again is one of the best parts of the job 💛

Puppy play dates = safe fun, confidence building, and plenty of zoomies 🐶🌿

Here’s a little look at our last puppy play date — giving puppies the chance to socialise, explore, play, and learn in a safe, secure outdoor space alongside other pups of a similar age 🐾

All sessions are supervised by a qualified behaviourist, so play stays positive, appropriate, and stress-free for both puppies and owners 💛

Benefits of puppy play dates include:
✨ Building confidence in new environments
✨ Learning appropriate social skills with other dogs
✨ Improving communication and play manners
✨ Safe exposure to new sights, sounds, and experiences
✨ Helping prevent fear and frustration as puppies grow
Most importantly… it’s great fun for everyone involved 🐕💨

☀️HEATSTROKE☀️

☀️😎The weather is going to become extremely hot into next week!😎☀️

⚠️🦮Please be careful taking your dog for a walk in this heat.

⛔️❗️Even a ‘quick’ walk can be too much!

🖐🏻Remember hot pavements can burn paws! If it’s too hot to hold your hand down on, it’s too hot for your pet!

🐾📞If you are concerned your pet might have heat stroke please do not delay and phone your veterinary practice ASAP for professional advice.

🐶DOGS🐶

☀️Make sure they have access to the shade if outdoors, ideally keep them inside.
☀️Have access to cool fresh water throughout the day.
☀️NEVER leave your dog in a car
☀️Use cool mats, fans, wet towels for your pet to lie on.
☀️Use pet safe suncream on exposed parts of your pets skin (tips of ears and nose). Especially if your pet has white/light coloured fur.
☀️Be careful if you have artificial grass, this can cause burns to your pets feet

Signs of heatstroke:
🥵Panting excessively
🥵Breathing difficulties
🥵Excessively salivation/drooling
🥵Vomiting (dogs & cats)
🥵Restlessness
🥵Collapse
🥵Seizures
🥵Red gums

❗️ALL animals are at risk of heatstroke, although some more than others. These include:

🐾Brachycephalic breeds (Pugs, Shih Tzu, French Bulldogs etc)
🐾Puppies
🐾Geriatric dogs
🐾Overweight dogs
🐾Dogs with thick coats
🐾Animals with underlying health conditions

🌡If you suspect your dog is showing signs of heatstroke⬇️

DO
✅Move your dog to a cool/shaded area.
✅ Gently use COOL not cold water over their body.
✅Offer them small amounts of water to drink
✅Call your vets immediately if you suspect your pet is suffering from heatstroke

DON’T
⛔️Do not cover their body with a wet towel, this will trap the heat in.
⛔️Do not force your pet to drink, as this may lead to them aspirating, and this can cause aspiration pneumonia.
⛔️Do not use COLD/ICE water, this can cool your pet down too rapidly leading to shock.
