A lovely weekend with Lottie. Such a great companion! She’s clever, she’s funny, and I think she’s faster than a spaniel 🐕 Very energetic, just over a year old Hungarian Vizsla ♥️ 🐶 #Dogstagram #InstaDog #DogLover #DogLife #DogWalk #StratfordDogs #DogWalker #DogsOfInstagram #PuppyLove #DogTraining #HungarianVizsla #Vizsla #LeadTraining

WELL DONE OZI! ❤️ It’s not a bad thing for a dog to get excited, but I like wearing shorts sometimes and let me tell you, a Labrador jumping on your bare legs isn’t the best experience. Ozi here is a really good boy and he got paid with cheese 🧀 for taking part in this video. He enjoys our walks and gets to do what dogs are made for during them. It’s just that moment I wanted to show you in case you have a dog that gets excited and you want to work on managing that 🐾 🐕 #Dogstagram #InstaDog #DogLover #DogLife #DogWalk #StratfordDogs #DogWalker #DogsOfInstagram #PuppyLove #DogTraining #ExcitedDog

We love the weather, the paddles, the fact that the rain cleans them all before we get back 😂🐾 #Dogstagram #InstaDog #DogLover #DogLife #DogWalk #StratfordDogs #DogWalker #DogsOfInstagram #PuppyLove #DogTraining #Cockapoo #Labrador #Whippet #Bedlington

Helping Milo with his anxiety. Sometimes training is just a little bit of affection and understanding 🐕 #Dogstagram #InstaDog #DogLover #DogLife #DogWalk #StratfordDogs #DogWalker #DogsOfInstagram #PuppyLove #DogTraining #AnxiousDog

The most time consuming thing - social media! Takes so much time to share what we do on our walks, so we’ll try to keep it simple. Keep it real! #Dogstagram #InstaDog #DogLover #DogLife #DogWalk #StratfordDogs #DogWalker #DogsOfInstagram #PuppyLove #DogTraining

Can I cause my dog’s reactivity? It’s worth thinking a few steps ahead. If you always do something in the same way, they know what’s coming. From always putting on a muzzle when going to the same place, or getting in the car which always means a visit to the vet, to pulling on the lead when dogs are interacting—it can all cause trouble. #Dogstagram #InstaDog #DogLover #DogLife #DogWalk #StratfordDogs #DogWalker #DogsOfInstagram #PuppyLove #DogTraining #ReactiveDog #DogBehaviour #DogMuzzle

Desensitising Bella to her hoover reactivity (hoover, blender, anything that makes a noise). 🐕 While staying with me, I realised she has to bark at everything that makes a noise, so here’s day 2 of our work. With Bella being an ultra-clever dog and learning quicker than a thunder, it’s super easy. Of course, as the owner, you can avoid the issue, lock your dog in another room, or send them outside, but you can also work on it 🤓 Not every dog learns so quickly, or the issue might be more complex, so don’t feel bad if it takes a really long time! Just be consistent and repeat your steps. Make it easy for your dog to understand! 🐾 #Dogstagram #InstaDog #DogLover #DogLife #DogWalk #StratfordDogs #DogWalker #DogsOfInstagram #PuppyLove #DogTraining

New DW Pawmily Member, Luna! She’s a bit anxious around other dogs, but that’s a work in progress 😊. Luna has amazing recall and just waits for more instructions, proving to be a TOP DOG 🐕 #Dogstagram #InstaDog #DogLover #DogLife #DogWalk #StratfordDogs #DogWalker #DogsOfInstagram #PuppyLove #dogtraining

Training with Bella 🐾 It’s not always about being active, you know? 🐕 1️⃣ Bonding - Taking time to simply be with your dog without distractions or specific activities can strengthen your bond. It shows your dog that they don’t always have to perform or be active to receive your attention and affection. 2️⃣ Observation - When you pause and do nothing, it provides an opportunity to observe your dog’s behaviour, body language, and health more closely. This can help you notice any subtle changes or signs of discomfort that might require attention. 3️⃣ Stress Reduction - Just like humans, dogs can experience stress from overstimulation. Having quiet, relaxed moments can help lower your dog’s stress levels, promoting better mental health and behaviour. 4️⃣ Social Skills - By taking time to sit quietly in various environments, you help your dog learn to feel comfortable and calm in different settings. This can be particularly beneficial for young or anxious dogs who need to learn that not every outdoor experience is high-energy or stressful. 5️⃣ Training and Discipline - These quiet moments can be used to reinforce training about sitting or staying calmly. It’s a good exercise in self-control for your dog, teaching them to be calm and composed even when there’s no active engagement. 6️⃣ Personal Reflection 😊 - For the owner, these moments can also be a form of mindfulness or decompression. Sharing a peaceful moment with your dog can enhance your own mental well-being and remind you to appreciate the simple joys. #CalmDog #Calmness #Dogstagram #InstaDog #DogLover #DogLife #DogWalk #StratfordDogs #DogWalker #DogsOfInstagram #PuppyLove #DogTraining
