What a great weekend at The Dog Geeks Conference. It was fab to catch up with Speak Dog with Ruth Haynes again and also to meet Dawn Spence in person (rather than just on Zoom).
All the speakers were fantastic, and it was so lovely to see Andrew Hale (Dog Centred Care) again - who's talks are always brilliant.
Another favourite was Rebecca Hanlon, The Dog Witch: Whole Health for Healthy Behaviour and a really tough but super important talk from Sara Dunne Rainbow Bridge Vets.
Pen Farthing of Nowzad gave the most fascinating talk, someone I have followed for years now, and so it was amazing to meet him in person and get a signed copy of his book 'Operation Ark'.
And of course, feeling extremely grateful to be able to give a presentation about Tellington TTouch as well. 🥰🐶
A wonderful weekend, meeting wonderful dog lovers.
And a huge thanks to Donna The Walkies Pack and Pat Somerset for looking after my girls 🐶🐶 because I wouldn't have been able to go if it wasn't for them 💜

❌ Comforting your dog during fireworks, storms, or other noisy moments won’t reinforce fear.

🐶 When fear takes over, our dogs move into survival mode—fight, flight, or freeze—and their nervous system is searching for signals of safety. You can offer that comfort, but you can also go one step further.

🐾 With Tellington TTouch® bodywork, you can be even more proactive than a simple cuddle. These gentle techniques can decrease arousal, slow breathing, and reduce stress panting and shaking—helping your dog shift out of fear and back into a calmer, thinking state where they can process, settle, and feel secure.

🎆 Learn how at TTouch for Thunder, Fireworks & Fearful Moments – Nynehead Memorial Hall, Sun 12 Oct, 10:30–12:30. £24.

💔 You’re not alone 💔
Is your dog scared of fireworks, thunder, or sudden noises? You’re in very good company.

📊 Research shows that nearly half of all dogs in the UK (49%) are negatively affected by fireworks. That means countless guardians face the same stress and heartbreak each year, watching their dogs shake, pant, or hide when the bangs begin.

The good news? There are gentle, effective ways to help. 🐾

🎆 Join me at Nynehead Memorial Hall on Sunday 12th October (10:30am–12:30pm) for my TTouch for Thunder, Fireworks & Fearful Moments workshop.

👉 We’re expecting this event to be very popular—so if you’d like to feel more prepared before fireworks season, book your place today.

🎟️ Tickets: £24 per person
☕ Includes tea, coffee, biscuits + a digital fireworks guide
💖 25% of profits donated to Rottweiler and Friends Rescue
🐾 This event is for humans only; please leave your furbabies at home.

I don’t just teach these techniques—I use them with my own dogs. 🐾 My rescue dog, Chloe, was extremely noise sensitive when she first joined me. By using TTouch techniques, she has built her resilience, trust, and confidence—and now she takes loud noises in her stride.
