🐾 Pre-puppy planning… one of my favourite visits! 🐾

Yesterday I visited a fantastic proactive family before their puppy even comes home 👏

We covered all the things that can feel overwhelming once those tiny paws arrive…

🐶 Toilet training
🦷 Teething (and surviving it 😅)
🕰️ Routine and realistic expectations
🏡 Crate location and set up
🍽️ Food choices
🎀 Harness options
✂️ Grooming preparation
👧 Children and puppy interactions
🚧 Puppy pens, pads… and everything in between!

The lovely thing about these visits is there’s no pressure, no sleep deprivation and no “we wish we’d asked this before…” moments.

Just time to chat, plan, ask questions and set everyone up for success ❤️

They left feeling reassured, prepared and saying it was money well spent before the big arrival home 🥹🐾

I was super shocked how much they had already done (they have done their research!)

Preparation doesn’t guarantee perfection… but it can make those first few weeks feel a whole lot less overwhelming.

Now the important question… 👀

Which one would you choose?! 🐶💕

The adolescent puppy effect… 🐾😂

Their humans can feel like they spend most of their day negotiating the pups life choices…

“Please don’t eat that.”
“Please come back.”
“Please remember your name.”
“Please stop making questionable decisions.”

Then suddenly…silence.

You turn around and find this ❤️🐾

Fast asleep.
Looking impossibly sweet.
Not a single sign of the chaos, selective hearing, zoomies, over enthusiasm or dramatic life choices from earlier.

And somehow…as if by magic…you forget absolutely everything they’ve done and remember only how much you adore them 💤❤️🐾

Adolescent dogs are hard work.

Behaviour change takes time.

It can feel messy.
There will be wins.
There will be hard days.
Sometimes an amazing day is followed by a difficult one…and sometimes a difficult day comes just before something clicks.

That is all normal.

Building those foundations brick by brick.

This isn’t about reaching a finish line quickly.

It’s about creating change that lasts.

There are days where it all feels impossible… and then there are days where you suddenly catch a glimmer 😉

What your dog needs most is not perfection.

They need a human who keeps showing up ❤️

A handler who adjusts, learns, breathes, and doesn’t give up when things feel hard.

The difficult bits are often where the growth lives.

So if today feels tough…please keep going.

I believe in you 💪🏻

You’ve got this 😉🐾❤️

🐾❤️ This weeks puppy school 🏫

Fish 🐟 for dogs training packs are back…always an education about Nutrition when you join the Amora client community!

Its one of my favourite topics 😜😉🐾

Look at these faces!

They all bossed session one, confidence building, walking nicely on a lead, the start of emergency stop.

Plus, a biiiiiiig chew at the end for one teething puppy 🐶

Off line chats this week are around Separation Anxiety. Which is a topic bigger than that chew 😉 its an ‘umbrella’ term describing many many behaviours each individual puppy. Lots of ways we can support the puppy 🐶 whether it be confidence building, voluntary independence, hyper attachment, or generalised anxiety.

🐾❤️ Sometimes the environment works against our very best intentions…for dogs and humans.

Busy places, noises, movement, people, smells, pressure, expectations…it can all add up.

One minute we’re coping beautifully, the next our nervous system says:
“Absolutely not today thank you.”

Dogs are mammals.
Humans are mammals.

And whilst research is still evolving, there are many fascinating overlaps in how our nervous systems respond to stress, overwhelm, hypervigilance and overstimulation.

This little face was doing their best in a world that suddenly felt BIG. 🌎🐾

Sometimes training isn’t about “won’t”.
Sometimes it’s about capacity.
Sometimes it’s about emotion.
Sometimes it’s about needing support, distance, rest, safety…and a human who notices.

A gentle reminder that behaviour is communication — for all species ❤️

I swallowed a green fly wasn’t expecting that either 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤣

❤️🐾 Loved meeting these faces this morning! At the WOOF event 🐾❤️

Returning some kit that was kindly loaned by the amazing Sarah Rennison Physiotherapy thank you 🙏 apologies its taken me a while to return. You are awesome 🙌 always.

Love your Aireworth Dogs in Need - Registered Charity No. 1162052 boy he is a little dream boat! I loved his shoulder barge move, a true bully breed! I can’t wait to see him at Mantrail!

I hope today will be a great success for the fund raising.

Also lovely to finally meet Paul at Clever K9s and Becca at Freedom Canines Training and Dog Day Care Centre its super hard to get time off and smooooooze sometimes. Great to say Hi 👋 in person and I hope today goes super👌

So lovely to see a client too fresh out of puppy school with their pup 🐶 who has grown 3 inch in as many weeks 💞🐾

We left the event as Annie was getting a bit overwhelmed (as were many in my opinion! 😉)
Sorry, not sorry which is why these events are not always on my radar.

With the canines best interest at heart.

But I do understand the plus points! 🐾❤️😉

Its just the rehearsal of some behavioural signaling that starts to make me twitch 😬🤦‍♀️ especially when its happening to the other end of my own lead.

Proud of Annie coping this morning for 35 minutes though (not that Jill the weird one was keeping a log again 😜🤷‍♀️🤣🫶!)
