I will be asking questions about various types of breeds over the coming weeks.

This week my questions relate to sighthounds: 😍

1. Why did you choose a sighthound?
2. What trait do you love most about them?
3. What surprised you most about having a sighthound in your life?
4. What trait do you struggle with?

Drop your stories and photos in the comments, I would love to hear them.

Its National Puppy Day so let's celebrate puppies, post photos of your pups now or then and show them off. This selection of photos is of various puppies I have fostered over the years, a couple of my own pups and a couple who were fosters but then weren't anymore!😁

Calmness - something as simple as scatter feeding in the garden. All that sniffing is very calming. A study has shown that sniffing can actually lower a dog's pulse. If you have multiple dogs then scatter feed at different times or alternate with indoors and outside unless you are absolutely sure that doing this altogether won't cause any bust ups between them.

Do you have a dog that you feel lacks confidence?
Do they react by barking and lunging when they see other dogs/people?
Do they slink away from other dogs and try and make themselves small?
Do they find the world a bit scary and suddenly stop and don't want to go any further when they are on a walk? Are they the kind of dog that benefit from being carefully managed because they don't like having any responsibility?

Let me know below in the comments if any of this applies to your dog?

I am passionate about helping dogs boost their confidence and optimism with training games which will have a positive effect on so many of their behaviours.

A friend was just talking about her dogs mirroring each other's behaviour. Have those of you with multiple dogs ever noticed your dogs doing this. This example is of Rufus, one of my foster pups mirroring my dog Bertie. Those of you that don't have multiple dogs, have you ever noticed your dog trying to mirror you? I was once trying to get Bella to play dead by lying on her side and she just couldn't get it so I lay down next to her on my side and low and behold she did the same. Fluke, one off, I don't know but it was a fun to see.

Let me know in the comments if you have noticed your dog mirroring other dogs or you. 😁
