Because the work doesn’t just stop when a session ends
😗.
Three years working together and we’re still learning. And I hope that never changes.
Recently had a half weekend of training with team member Kwan, who supports many of the families we’ve worked with through dog walking and pet sitting in Bangkok.
After all the work and development who walks your dog, who cares for them when you’re away, how they respond to their communication and whether the consistency you’ve worked hard to build continues all matter.
So this weekend was about updating skills, questioning what we think we know and getting curious.
We looked at the tiny body language signals that are so easily missed.
How a change in context can completely change a dog’s response.
How to safely navigate territorial free roaming dogs.
And one of my favourites, simply exploring more with our dogs rather than always trying to get somewhere.
And I’m constantly learning too.
Every new dog and family teaches me something.
Sometimes something works beautifully. Sometimes we hit a roadblock and I have to look again, change perspective and try another way.
Because there are so many variables when it comes to behaviour.
There isn’t one answer for every dog.
And I think that’s one of the most fascinating parts of this work.
Three years later, Kwan and I are still learning together. 🐾
What are you currently learning or rethinking with your dog?
