Living with Border Collies and Australian Shepherds and being told not to walk them in the heat or any young or working dog for that matter 🫣😂

But in all seriousness, high drive breeds in a heatwave is no joke. It’s great if you’ve little companion dogs happy to sit on the sofa for the summer.

But sofa potatoes, I do not have….So here’s what I’ve been doing this week:

Alarm set for 6.30am and out the door before the sun!

I’ve clipped their bellies bare so they can cool down quickly on cold tiles and cool grass.

Walking along water or in shaded woodland where it stays cooler for longer. No paws on hot pavements and hot tarmac.

Maybe you are not an early bird and if that’s the case, Late evening walks once the sun has dropped and the ground has had a chance to cool.

And in between? Frozen toppls, lick mats, scatter feeding, training games indoors. A tired brain is just as good as a tired body for these two. 🐾

And if all that fails, chase them with the hose 🤣 keeps them cool and entertained!!

Mollie’s mum Claire left this review after the work we’ve been doing together on leash reactivity. 🐾

Walks used to be stressful and unpredictable. Now Mollie is building real confidence and working through her little fears and triggers.

This is why I love my job. Watching a little dog go from overwhelmed to confident, and watching their owner learn to read and support them along the way.

Swipe to see the little lady herself 🐾

I completed my first triathlon recently. 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️

But that wasn’t the hard part.

The hard part was starting. The hard part was being a beginner. The early mornings training on my own, the slip ups, the injuries, the falls, the days I wondered what I was doing and why did I think this was a good idea.

And doing it reminded me of something important.

When you come to me with your new puppy, you are a beginner. Maybe you are worried that your dog isn’t where they should be, or embarrassed that you don’t know what to do or or frustrated that it’s taking longer than you expected….I want you to know that I get it. Even though I may have 20 years dog training experience I know what it’s like to start something new to you!

Ive had the best coaches and people supporting me and I promise to remember what it feels like to be a beginner and be the support to you!

We all start somewhere. 🐾

Why is my dog jumping up? 🐾

A lot of jumping up isn’t your dog being badly behaved…it’s over excited, It’s your dog trying to cope. 🫣

If we think about it from their perspective. A person walks in, leans over them, reaches for their head, gets right into their space. That’s a lot for a dog to manage, especially a young one who hasn’t yet built the confidence to deal with it calmly. I am a fully grown women and I still hate people I don’t know coming into my space and touching me 🤣

Jumping up can be a stress response. A way for your dog to create space and manage the situation.

So before we work on stopping the jump it’s worth checking are we putting this dog into situations they’re not yet ready for?

Are strangers creating problems you’ll be left with when the cute pup phase has passed?

And of course it’s not that people have ill intent. 🫣

But remember, You do not have to let everyone pet your dog. Especially a young dog who hasn’t yet got reliable cues in place.

All those hands reaching in, people leaning over, everyone wanting a piece of them, it’s overwhelming.

And then they will never learn to settle and blend in.

Protect your dog’s space before they feel the need to manage it themselves.

Slow everything down. Reduce the amount of triggers or how close you are, teach your dog reliable cues that redirects the focus to you.

The behaviour usually looks very different when the dog feels safe. 🐾

Meet Nala 🐾

A Cavachon living in a busy urban area. When I first met Nala she was 7 months and now she’s just had her 1st birthday. I met Nala really at the peak of her adolescence and the world was just a bit too much for her for a while. 🫣

Overstimulated, pulling on the lead, running onto roads, robbing food off the kids’ plates. 🤣 Her owner reached out not really knowing where to start.

But she showed up. Every single session. Put the work in at home and even over that rotten winter we have had. 🌧️

Nala can visit her owner’s son’s favourite coffee shop. Sitting calmly in the middle of everything that used to send her over the edge. ☕

Of course the journey is never without its bumps and Nala’s owner did say some days she felt like they were stopping more than walking 😂 but Nala needed lots of checks in to build her confidence and stop her fizzing over the edge.

“Don’t know who does be prouder, me or her.” 🥰 was my favourite message to get

Of course Nala is still a cheeky young dog, but now has learned lots of manners and still very cute. 😂
