**New Hoopers Courses at Dogology!**

Hoopers is a fast-growing, low-impact dog sport that’s all about teamwork. Dogs navigate hoops, tunnels, and barrels, building focus, fitness, and confidence while working at a distance from their handler.

💡 It’s suitable for most dogs, making it a brilliant option for both seasoned handlers and total beginners.

Hoopers builds key foundations like forward focus, directional cues, and off-lead confidence - so it’s a great place to start if you want to progress to agility. Or, if your dog thrives on agility but is ready to slow things down, Hoopers provides the perfect transition.

We’ve got:
– Foundations Course: Perfect for newcomers looking to build skills and connection.

– Sequences Course: Ideal for dogs and handlers who can already run a course - agility dogs transition beautifully into Hoopers!

Two years later… still true.

Social media popularity doesn’t equal quality.

Some trainers rack up huge followings while promoting harmful or unethical methods.
Meanwhile, genuinely skilled and thoughtful professionals quietly share outstanding content, but the algorithm hides them, or they choose to invest their time in their work, not their online content.

And yes, there are brilliant trainers with big followings too.

Bottom line: don’t take followers as proof. Do your own research!

This so applies to dog trainers…

We routinely emphasise the role of maternal stress during pregnancy and early puppy development, given its lasting impact on behaviour and resilience.

This study appears to suggest paternal stress warrants more attention…

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19Epis3GTD/?mibextid=wwXIfr

A recent study has revealed that s***m cells can carry traces of stress experienced by the father, potentially influencing offspring health and development. Researchers found that environmental stressors, such as psychological stress or trauma, can induce epigenetic changes in s***m—modifications that affect gene expression without altering the DNA sequence.

These changes, primarily in DNA methylation patterns and small non-coding RNAs, act as molecular "memories" of the father’s stress. When s***m fertilizes an egg, these epigenetic markers may be transmitted to the embryo, potentially shaping traits like stress resilience, behavior, or susceptibility to mental health disorders in the offspring.

The study highlights how stress affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which regulates cortisol production, leaving molecular signatures in s***m. Experiments in animal models, and limited human studies, suggest these alterations can influence the offspring’s stress response systems, potentially leading to anxiety-like behaviors or metabolic issues.

However, the exact mechanisms of transmission and their long-term impact remain under investigation. This research underscores the importance of paternal health before conception and raises questions about how lifestyle and environmental factors shape future generations. It also emphasizes the need for further studies to explore interventions that could mitigate these effects.

Did you ever have a teacher you couldn’t stand? Now, imagine living with them and feeling that way all the time.

Don’t be that person to your dog. Be the inspiring teacher who boosts confidence, helping your dog thrive under your guidance.

Wow - what a phenomenal seminar yesterday, hosting the legendary Suzanne Clothier with Sally from dog-and-bone.co.uk. Suzanne is such a powerful speaker: honest, realistic, deeply caring… her approach to living with dogs aligns with mine so well.

Massive kudos to the helper team who kept everything running smoothly and made one of our favourite venues sparkle with its quintessential English charm.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us - especially the hardcore crowd still buzzing with energy after four days at the Animal Behaviour Kent conference! I was gutted to miss helping at ABK this year, but the excitement from attendees was still rippling through the room days later - the coffee station certainly got a bigger dent than usual though 😂

Also got to meet some absolute gems over dinner the night before... the kind of people who just felt like my people. Sometimes Facebook stalking really does pay off 😉

Can’t wait for our next seminar on Dog-Dog Rehabilitation with Roz Pooley aka The Mutty Professor in October.

PLUS we’ve got a MAJOR project in the works that we’ll be announcing soon 👀

**Not just dirt and plants**

Every crop is months of hard work and someone’s income. Dogs don’t belong in crop fields.
