Do you want more of this behaviour from your dog?

Come and learn about how to use enrichment to help in a free webinar this Thursday at 7pm! It's recorded for those who can't attend live and you'll receive a link to the recording after it's done. There's also going to be plenty of time for questions so you can really dig into the nitty gritty about how enrichment can help you and your dog.

It's not all just about feeding your dogs in different ways as well - there's loads more you can do and I can't wait to dig into it! Sign up via the link in the comments!

Pumba is living proof that your reactive dog can change.

Walks, or frankly any experience outside of the house, used to be my definition of hell. He would cause problems with other dogs, even dogs far in the distance who had barely noticed him. Now, he is a joy to walk. Walks have gone from the most dreaded task on my to do list, to the one I look forward to most.

Not only has daily life with Pumba improved, but he regularly goes out to compete in fields full of other dogs in obedience. I've gone from dreading seeing other dogs and hiding from them, to willing letting him off lead in fields full of other dogs. If you'd told me that when his behaviour was at his worst I'd have said you were insane.

If you're struggling with your dog's behaviour towards others, and want to start creating some change, join the class that shows you everything I did to help Pumba:
- starts Tuesday 3rd June at 7.30pm
- runs for 6 weeks
- maximum of 4 dogs per course to ensure that you get a tailored training plan for your dog
- barriers are set up so that the dogs don't have to see each other until they're ready to do so
- £199 for long term behaviour change, enjoying your walks again and peace of mind about your dog's behaviour
- if you're unsure the course is suitable for your dog, there's a link in the comments to book a call with me

The Behaviour Support Club this month sees discussion on preparing dogs with behavioural concerns for emergencies and weather or not your dog's behaviour is problematic or normal for your dog.

Puppy Club are looking at over socialisation, generalising training, the top 5 things I think you should teach your puppy and my favourite toilet training tips.

And the Sports Newsletter are going to have a weekly wrap up of sporting events that week, and our monthly discussion looks at the difficulties of actually going to competitions - it's not as simple as you think!

This right here is why I do this job. I remember well how miserable I was when my terriers were at their worst and walks were dreadful. When I managed to change their behaviour and realised how much more I was enjoying my dogs I was desperate to share that feeling with others. Sue and Jasper did so well in our 121 behaviour programme and I'm elated that they're seeing the progress.

Shoot me a message if you want help as well, I can't wait for you to see the change you're wishing for!

Sonic has been a busy bee organising something very exciting for you all! She's realised that some of you may only want information about behaviour problems, some of you may only want information about puppies, some of you may want information about the sports classes and activities on offer.

So! Presenting the three new newsletter lists:
- The Behaviour Support Club
- The Puppy Club
- Sports

The Behaviour Support Club will be delivering emails to support you, reassure you and guide you through problem behaviours like aggression, reactivity, separation anxiety and so on.

The Puppy Club is all things puppies. It will cover things like what to consider when you're thinking about adding a puppy to your household, how to integrate puppies, common mistakes to avoid, top things to do with your puppy and guidance on how to handle common puppy pickles like biting and chewing (humans and others)!

The Sports Newsletter is the place to get information about all sport events at Paw by Paw. From class spaces, new sports coming to the table, benefits of various sports, one off events and updates to any of the classes or events. If there's interest I'll also use this as a channel to keep you up to date on my sporting adventures with my dogs.

Lovely Lupo had the first session in his behaviour programme. Lupo can struggle with other male dogs so we went through some first aid exercises to help his family enjoy their walks again and know what to do when different situations arise.

Any guesses what breed Lupo is 👀 he's an unusual one so top dog nerd points if you guess correctly!

I just adore Woody's cheeky little face 😍

Woody has the second session in his training programme. His behaviour when guests come over and into the house has improved massively. His barking when there are deliveries or his family go out onto the driveway without him (how very dare they!) didn't see as much improvement though so we implement a few more things to improve that.

We took a deep dive into Woody's newfound desire to steal things and taught him some manners around items that might get him attention. Very excited to see what progress team Woody make over the next few weeks!

Little Luna had the first session in her training programme. Her family's goals are to improve her focus on them around distractions, and work on her ability to walk nicely on the lead and recall.

Luna is such a smart little girl and she smashed the first few exercises I gave her. I'm super excited to see how she progresses over her next few sessions!
