A client came to me recently feeling completely stuck.
They had been doing everything right: training sessions, being consistent by following all the advice
but their dog was still struggling to settle and was still overwhelmed.
They thought they needed more training.
But when we took a step back, we came back to three key areas:
✅ Health
✅ Nutrition
✅ Daily enrichment
And once we started there, things began to fall into place.
Because if a dog isn’t feeling quite right, isn’t properly fuelled, or isn’t having their needs met day to day
they won’t be in the right place to learn or cope, no matter how hard you try.
This is the bit that often gets missed.
It’s about understanding what’s underneath the behaviour first.
That’s when real progress starts to happen.
If you’re feeling stuck with your dog, this is always where I begin. If you need more support in person, feel free to drop me a DM. 🐾
