❤️🐾 Mantrail evening ❤️🐾

Sitting in the dark with a tub of chicken 🍗 waiting with joy to see a dog do what dogs love best.

Definitely a favourite activity.

Not great on the photos front….😬 even Annie’s 🤦‍♀️

Well done everyone!

❤️🐾 Your pre-fireworks action plan:

With only a week to go before Bonfire Night, the night sky will soon erupt with sudden flashes and loud bangs. For our pets, this can feel like being under siege.

Preparation is key to keeping anxiety at bay.

Follow this mission checklist to ensure your home feels secure and stressful moments are defused before they start.

❤️ PREPARE (The advance plan)
Exercise early: Walk your dog well before it goes dark so they are settled, well-exercised and safely indoors before any fireworks begin.
Update identification: Double-check microchip details and ID tags just in case a sudden loud bang causes your pet to bolt. Burn extra energy
Ramp up playtime earlier in the day with high-energy games like fetch or tug to tire them out before the evening hits.

❤️ STOCK UP on your secret weapon
Ensure you have your supply of Nutracalm and introduce in advance of the fireworks so you are not caught off guard when the first explosions start...https://nutravet.co.uk/product/nutracalm

❤️ PROTECT (Fortify the bunker)
Secure the perimeter: Keep doors, windows and cat flaps firmly closed and locked to prevent escape attempts. Block out flashes: Draw heavy curtains and blinds early to eliminate disorienting flashes and dampen outside noise.

❤️ BUILD A DEN:
Set up a cozy "bunker" in a quiet room or covered crate filled with their favourite blankets and worn clothing that smells of you. Remain calm yourself: Stay calm and offer gentle reassurance, if your pet clings to your side, welcome them without overreacting.

❤️ DISTRACT (Defuse the tension)
Deploy sound barriers: turn on the TV, radio or calming white noise to mask the abrupt sounds outside.

❤️ ENGAGE THEIR BRAIN
Use pre prepared interactive puzzle toys, LickiMats or long-lasting chews to shift their focus and release natural soothing endorphins.

Keep up normal routines: Carry on with your regular evening habits so your pet picks up on your relaxed, unbothered body language.

Calming companionship: Sit quietly on the floor offering rhythmic, slow strokes or gentle brushing to ground their attention entirely on you.

🐾❤️ Look at this face 🐾❤️
The best boy
With the best trainer (😜) best dog walker, best Mantrailing trainer and best of all
Best parents
Last night we covered his frustration when he sees another dog
He is adolescent
Hormonal
Emotional
He managed his emotions great last night
We looked at lots of techniques
He loves a leaf 🍁 that also blows past (contextual)
He loves a dog who runs past at close proximity, with a ball 🥎 (contextual)
Ball is life……
All perfectly normal
Where possible as their guardians it is important to support a dogs needs and show them the way.
Teach them
Guide them
Be kind
Make some great decisions for them too when the world is being a bit distracting
People are being a bit….well IYKYK
But that’s life
What was bloody impressive last night was the following
Lets focus heavily on that!
🐾 Mums long line lead handling skills 😱 amazing
🐾 The fact the client didn’t postpone due to the weather
🐾 The client booked a field just before we met to enable a calmer mindset before training
🐾 A joined up approach for the objectives with the dog walker and trainer
🐾 SO MUCH home enrichment opportunities
🐾 Consideration to holistic worm / flea treatments
🐾 Amazing Nutrition
🐾 The way that his human handled some young boys ‘that only wanted to say hello!’ 😂
🐾 The way that he stood and watched x 2 rockets 🧨 explode in the sky and the manner in which his humans dealt with that (supportive, in the moment observing him but no drama) because the 26th Oct is bonfire 🔥 night (IYKYK! remember….!)
I am sure I am missing LOTS
However, as humans we have a negativity bias we tend to only notice or get frustrated with all the things we sometimes can’t control 🤷‍♀️
Well done 👏 humans and beautiful boy it was a real pleasure spending time with you last night ❤️

Yes 3 years in
We are STILL working on loose lead walk with me at ‘heel position’
Sometimes not always
In some situations not all situations
Because to be honest I am not that worried about it
Dogs should be free to walk on a loose lead not at ‘heel’
Under Control
Not worrying livestock
Not rushing at people or dogs
My perfectly imperfect rescue girly is the ‘goodest girl’
