As a dog behaviourist the first thing I look at in an aggressive case is ‘How is that dog feeling, emotionally and physically?’
Just labelling a dog as aggressive and not considering the cause is ignorant. Just like humans our behaviour is a result of how we are feeling.
If you’d like to understand why your dog is reactive and learn how to start to manage and resolve what is causing their reactivity then my 2 day Behaviour workshop is for you!

Teamwork gets it done 💪🏻 Boosh has a deep fear aggressive history at the groomers, even at her young age she’s a breed that’s going to have to be ok to groom. So one of our challenges during her is desensitising her with being groomed! Who better to help than my buddy Becky Perfect Paws Dog Grooming Wokingham 😃
Session 1 was about getting Boosh out of discomfort from the matted hair inside her thighs and getting the hair out of her eyes so she can see! It’s so important to understand what is behind a dogs behaviour and in Boosh’s case this was a huge contributing factor to her reactivity 🤷🏼 She was a superstar 🥰
We’ll post the finished ‘functional’ haircut soon!

Thanks to Gill we Titer tested 24 dogs tonight! It was fabulous to see so many dog owners choosing the option to test their dog for antibodies for Distemper, Hepatitis and Parvo to inform them as to whether they need vaccinating. So many dogs get vaccinated annually when they don’t always need it. This way we know before vaccinating unnecessarily 🤷🏼
We will be hosting another titer test clinic in November for those who missed it so watch out for the next date!

‘Place’ work is one of the Dog Basics workshop skills you learn to implement with your dog. It’s easy to achieve but you need to be consistent, be patient and make the time as you’re going about your daily life with your dog. Then after a few days your dog gets quicker at getting it. It’s a simple skill to start teaching your dog TODAY and you will start to feel more in control which gives you the confidence that you can create a relationship of respect and trust with your dog 😃 Check out our workshops if you want to learn the basics and transform your life with your dog 🙏🏻
