Hi everyone,
So sorry for my absence over the last few weeks.
I had a fall and broke my elbow 😟
Working one handed at the moment, so please bare with me.
The culprit was ............... yes Whispa.
Think long line and trip wire πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
So I need some cheering up please.
Share those special dog photos with me and give me something to smile again.πŸ˜ƒπŸ₯°

Hopefully be back with you all soon.
My apologies as will not be able to do face to face training, but still able to do remote training.
Not able to drive for a couple of weeks ☹️

If you need to get, please get in touch. I am still here.😁

A little belated I know.
Have you made a New Year resolution regarding your dog?

I actually never make them, only because they always get broken.

So why not set goals instead.

Make them doable though.

Think about how you can set your dog up to win.

Whether that is working on your recall
or
Working on walking without pulling
or
Working with your dog that may be anxious.

Start with a small goal.

It might be to come when called.
Starting inside the house, maybe playing hide and seek .Always rewarding highly when your dog finds you. I mean highly, not just a good dog. Would you come running for a dry biscuit :) πŸ«“

When you have mastered that goalβ˜‘οΈ the next goal might be the garden.
Then low distraction areas. Then an open space on a long line.

Don't set them up to fail by going too fast or expecting too much too soon. Every dog is different and have different learning abilities just like us. Training should be fun for both you and your dog.πŸ₯³

Small goals work.
Master each one, each step before moving on to the next one.
Lower your expectations and you will soon be passing them
Set yourself up to win too 😁

Go on, Set a GOAL for 2024

What a year it has been.
Every dog and every family I work with means so much to me.
I actually get really down when our time together ends.
This time I wasn't down, I had tears but tears of happiness.

Dottie has found her forever family.
This will be one Christmas card that I will cherish.

Thank you so much Animal Concern Cumbria for all the work you do for all the animals in your care.
An amazing team of people. I feel privileged to work beside you all.

Life for a dog in kennels is not a home, no matter how well they are looked after and cared for.
Please pop onto their page,
have a look at the amazing dogs and cats looking for a home.

Why not apply to Foster??
Some of the dogs just need to know what living in a home is like. Living in a kennel environment can be tough on a lot of dogs.

Seeing a photos of Dottie living her dream life. Having morning cuddles on the bed and looking out of her own window really made my heart soar.

πŸ”Ή **Professional Update: New Certification Title** πŸ”Ή

I'm excited to share some important news with you.

As you may know, I’m a Certified Separation Anxiety Pro Trainer. Well, the exciting news is that the title is changing.
It’s officially transitioning from Certified Separation Anxiety Pro Trainer to Certified Separation Anxiety Behaviour Consultant.

This change reflects a more accurate representation of our work. The term 'trainer' didn’t fully encompass the depth of our approach, which focuses on altering emotional states to improve behavior.

As a Behaviour Consultant, my role is centered on providing comprehensive, emotion-focused strategies to help dogs overcome separation anxiety.

I look forward to continuing to offer specialised support and guidance under this new title. The title might have changed, but my commitment to effective, and compassionate care for dogs experiencing separation anxiety remains the same.

Isn't it a lovely sight watching your four legged friend opening their Christmas presents along with the rest of the family.🎁
Just be aware of the chemicals in wrapping paper,supervise them opening their presents to ensure the paper isn't eaten. Or wrap in ordinary brown paper,with a removable bow πŸŽ€
Remember those presents under the tree could be just too tempting not to be investigated.

This would be the best time to have a little pre-visit chat to friends and family about not feeding your dog party food.
"one little bit won't hurt him" or "my dogs always share my food, never done them any harm"
Might not do them any real harm, but you may end up with your dog having a dicky tum. Not good for him or for you.πŸ’©
Even reminding everyone to be aware where they are putting their alcoholic drinks. Some smell really lovely and certainly could tempt any dog to have a little taste or two.
Alcohol is toxic for our dogs.🍹

Please don't forget about your dog, make sure he is safe.πŸ’œ
It is so easy with people coming and going not to be able to keep an eye on them all the time.
Think about people coming and going through your front door. Can your dog get out ? Maybe put a stairgate up, just as a precaution to stop your dog running out the door.

As the drink flows, you might find your favourite cousin becomes the worlds best dog trainer and wants to try out his talent with your dog (we all have one of those cousins).

If your home is going to be ultra busy, why not put you dog away in a safe space, where he cannot be disturbed. Tell your guests to please leave him alone.
Give him a long lasting chew,or a frozen kong.

Remember he may be needing out to toilet,and possibly can't be heard over the party music.
Check in on him frequently. Spend some time in there with him.

If you think of your dog as your toddler,and all the safe guarding that you would do for that child.
