‘Happy Birthday’ to my adorable Reuben Pan- the boy who wouldn’t grow up 🥳
Still so full of fun, mischief and love; what he lacks in teeth he makes up for in character 🤣

Finally cool enough to get out for a little walk with this one. Reuben is 12 next week and has heart disease so we have to be super careful when it gets hot; especially when it’s so sudden ☀️

Progress, Not Perfection – A Big Step for Nya!

Today marked a big moment for Nya – her very first social meet with the gorgeous Alfie. And honestly, for a first-time meet, it went great.

We took things steady, no rushing, no pressure. Just a relaxed parallel walk and plenty of space. I think it helped that Alfie is Belle’s brother and mirrors so many of her calm, balanced behaviours – familiar energy goes a long way.

The park was very busy, and although Nya did have one small reaction when a dog ran straight up to her while she was on lead (which we know is a trigger for many dogs and I think she was well within her rights to do), she handled the rest of the walk like a star. Calm, curious, and connected. We’re calling that a massive win.

Alfie is an absolute credit to his owners – such lovely social skills, just like his sister Belle.

No pictures or videos this time – we were focused on being present and giving the dogs the best chance of success. But I’ll aim to capture some moments on the next one.

Can’t wait for the next walk Sally Grimes– proud of you, Nya.

Too much energy and not enough outlet!
Too much stimulation and not enough rest!
Too much walking and not enough connection!

At Absolute Canine Harmony, we look at the whole dog—body, brain, and behaviour.

Meeting your dog’s needs isn’t just about walks. It’s about enriching their minds, soothing their emotions, and strengthening your bond. When those needs are truly met, magic happens:
• Behaviour improves
• Reactivity reduces
• Calm becomes their natural state

Start small. Be intentional. Watch your dog thrive.

Yesterday we met with the handsome Odin.

Odin is a little unsure around dogs so we are going to be working with his owners to build his confidence and help him manage in situations he finds worrying.

Reactivity & Progress: It’s a Balance

When working with a reactive dog it’s important to go at their pace — but don’t get stuck there.

At some point, gentle growth means “surfing the threshold” — that fine line where your dog starts to feel challenged, but not overwhelmed. This is where real progress happens!

At Absolute Canine Harmony, we help you:
- Read your dog’s signals
- Build confidence
- Progress with purpose — never pressure

Growth isn’t about pushing through panic. It’s about building resilience, together.

First opinion vets are closed today so be sure to know who your nominated out of hours vet is. The VPIS Animal Poison Line is also available 24hrs with a wealth of info on all things toxic if you do run in to trouble.

There’s no magic wand when it comes to dog training—especially complex issues like reactivity!! lasting change takes time, effort, and consistency. But here’s the good news: every step you take brings you and your dog closer to harmony and understanding.

At Absolute Canine Harmony, we believe in a holistic approach. By fulfilling your dog’s physical, mental, and emotional needs, you build trust, confidence, and balance. Progress might feel slow at times, but with patience and persistence, you’ll see incredible results.

Your hard work is an investment in your dog’s happiness and your bond together—one that’s absolutely worth it.
