EXCITING NEWS!!!

As you know, I'm always looking for new opportunities to build on my skills and experience, and somehow I've managed to bag an opportunity of a lifetime to join an amazing team in a pretty awesome animal behaviour clinic🐾

As a result, for the foreseeable future, I won’t be taking on any new behaviour cases so I can fully focus on my new role.

EXISTING CLIENTS: You should have all received an email with more details on how this may affect you. Thank you so much for your continued trust and support ☺️

I am so excited about this new chapter in my career, I can't wait to get started!

CPD is always better when you get fluffy cuddles 🧡 thanks Yaz for a very informative and fun day about pain. Thank you Rodney, Peggy and Lily for providing the entertainment during our breaks 🐾
Highly recommend .pooches to dog guardians and professionals interested in learning more about pain in dogs

Sometimes a training session doesn't always go as planned, and that's ok!
Today, Trixie was practising her mat training skills outside a café, in preparation for her holiday, when a very friendly cat kept approaching our table despite our attempt to gently shoo away. This cat has clearly learnt that people sitting outside coffee shops = treats and attention😊
This was not a distraction I had planned for, but Trixie (and her sister Fifi) handled it like a pro, and after some air scenting to gather information and watching the cat, they were able to hang out close by without any barking or pulling.
Along with lots of other (anticipated!) distractions - people and dogs walking past and loud motorbikes, both Fifi and Trixie smashed their session. Well done ladies 💜

Yesterday, I officially graduated from the University of Lincoln with MSc (distinction) in Clinical Animal Behaviour. I had the best two years at Lincoln, meeting so many amazing people and learning from the very best.
I couldn't have done it without the support from my husband🩵family, friends, uni mates, academic staff and behaviour clinic team.
Thank you to all of my clients, past and present, I've loved being involved in your dogs' training journeys🐾

A fabulous post by The Muzzle Movement.
All dog bites should be taken seriously, whether from a small or large breed dog.
Risk assessments form part of my overall behaviour assessment, regardless of the dog's bite history.
Simply put, if your dog has teeth - they can bite, no matter their size, shape or breed.
Understanding dog body language is a great way to prevent bites, but if you're ever in doubt, give dogs plenty of space (that includes dogs you know well!) or separating dogs from people and other dogs is the safest option until they are assessed.
Always work with a suitably qualified behaviourist if you're concerned about your dog's behaviour.

It was such a pleasure to work with Reggie and his guardian. They stuck with the plan and kept me updated the whole way through which meant we could capture data to measure his progression. At our final session, Reggie was incredible, focusing on his guardian with so many distractions. We even enjoyed a lovely chat on a bench in the sunshine and he coped amazingly. There are still some further investigations and behaviour work to go but I'm delighted with how he's got on in such a short duration of time. Well done team Reggie 🐾

Happy International Women's Day
There are so many amazing women in the dog training and behaviour industry who I look up to and hope will be just a smidge as amazing as them one day 💜
I celebrated with a sunset walk with my best friend Meggie 💕

Totally forgot to get any videos or photos from today 🙈🙈 (no wonder I left my career in marketing!)
I had a fab time on the Victoria Stilwell stand chatting to lots of great people about their dogs and catching up with old friends and making new ones 😀 VSA really is like a family 💜
I feel conflicted about supporting Crufts (a conversation for another time as I'm far too tired now!) but spreading the message of building positive relationships with people and dogs is so important in an unregulated industry.
If you're going to Crufts over the weekend, head over to Hall 1 and spin the positive wheel for a chance to win a free courses or a positive potato 🥔

Having some major IT issues 😢 please bear with me as I try and resolve it. I will respond to messages ASAP

Dog behaviour assessments are like a jigsaw puzzle 🧩

Behaviour is multifaceted and creating an individualised modification plan involves a lot of information gathering and collaboration between me, the caregiver and referring vet to investigate and treat unwanted behaviours.

Common puzzle pieces I like to explore include:
🔹your dog's unwanted behaviours
🔹your dog's routine and interactions with individuals in the home
🔹observations of your dog's body language
🔹what and when they eat
🔹when, where and how often your dog sleeps
🔹what you have taught your dog and their response to training
🔹your dog's favourite toys and style of play
🔹how often your dog is walked, where, duration and time off the lead
🔹your dog's toileting habits (specific questions are TMI for social media 😂)
🔹their behaviour history including pyschometric questionnaires
🔹details about their puppyhood and method of socialisation
🔹medical history including surgeries and reoccurring conditions

Sometimes I don't have all the pieces (such as a rescue with an unknown medical and behaviour history) and make inferences based on the information available. This is why ongoing support is vital so that changes can be made to the modification plan as new information comes to light, such as results from clinical investigations and responses to training protocols.

Behaviour work is a complex puzzle, but lucky for me, problem-solving is one of my hobbies 🩵

It's been a busy time at Scentsational Dogs and as usual, I forgot to take pictures of the lovely dogs I had the pleasure of working with so here's Meg enjoying the rain!

🧡Valkyrie - 6-month Shiba Inu settling into her new home as an adolescent has been tricky, she's been off her food, is noise sensitive and struggling to bond with her male guardian when her female guardian leaves for work. We found that play is a huge motivator for Valkyrie and is part of her treatment plan.

🩵Jax - 5-month German Shepherd living with Toby - 13 year old Bishon Frise. Being a young pup Jax can be a bit too bouncy for Toby who prefers a quieter retirement, so we're teaching Jax to settle, come when called and providing him with lots of opportunities to use his mouth on appropriate items such as long-lasting chews and tug.

💜Trixie - 1 year old mini Poodle has just landed her forever home with Fifi - 6 year old mini Poodle. It's been an adjustment for them both, learning each other's play styles and settling into a new routine. During our training session, Trixie was brave enough to use me as a pillow for a quick nap 🥰

Plus a few interesting phone calls for possible behaviour cases in the near future - more details to follow shortly! It's been a welcomed distraction from my thesis and impending results but it's back to the study for the next few days for me 🐾

This handsome chap is Balou.
He is a wonderful mix of several breeds of scenthound, chihuahua, shih tzu and lots more! He was rescued from the streets in the Republic of North Macedonia by an incredible family.
He has settled into his home very well but can get a little nervous around people and dogs. After talking through dog body language, outlets for natural behaviours and lead-handling skills, his family have seen a more relaxed Balou.
During our second session, Balou was much calmer upon my arrival and was able to occupy himself when given the 'no attention available' cue - this is very useful when his guardians are busy with the kids or visitors.
Sadly I didn't manage to smuggle Balou into my workbag but I did leave with this amazing drawing made by Poppy. I love it so much 🥰
