✨ Human Healing Support for Guardians of Reactive Dogs ✨

Our dogs feel deeply. When a dog is reactive — barking, lunging, shutting down — it is not a sign of failure. It is a reflection of overwhelm, fear, sensitivity, or emotions that are too big to carry alone.

For the humans walking beside them, this journey can bring:

💔 Guilt and self-doubt
💔 Loneliness and misunderstanding
💔 The weight of constant management
💔 Grief for the life that you’d hoped for

🌿 But you and your dog are not broken. 🌿

At Dog Blossom, I hold a gentle healing space for you — the human guardian — to rest, to share, and to release what you’ve been carrying. These sessions weave together:

🌸 Human Counselling and deep listening and support
🌸 Insights into the emotional bond and mirroring between you and your dog
🌸 Practical steps that nurture both your wellbeing and theirs

When you find balance, your dog feels it too. Healing begins with you. 💚

🌿✨ Dog Blossom Special Launch Offer! ✨🌿 for wherever you are in the world! I can help!

1:1 Zoom Consult – Behaviour or Health – Just £45
(Usually £75 – limited-time launch price)

Does your dog struggle with behavioural or health issues that just don’t seem to improve?

Are you tired of quick fixes and rushed answers — when what you really need is someone who takes the time to listen, understand, and guide you from the heart?

🕊️ With over 17 years of experience in canine behaviour, holistic health, nutrition, emotional wellbeing, and conscious dog parenting — I’m here to help.

💚 Book a 1-hour Zoom consult with me for just £45 — and receive calm, compassionate, expert support tailored specifically to your dog.

🧠 To put that into perspective…
A standard 15-minute vet consult is around £70 — which means an hour with your vet could cost £280…
And while vets are essential, they often don’t have time to explore the emotional, nutritional, or energetic root causes.

This session is different.

🐾 We’ll work together to gently uncover what’s going on beneath the surface — and create a realistic, natural plan to support your dog’s healing and happiness.

🎁 Special Launch Offer: Just £45
(Will return to £75 soon – spaces are limited)

📩 DM me to book.

Because when we truly understand our dogs,
everything begins to change.

🌿 Why Quick Fixes Aren’t the Answer (Even If They Look Like They Work)

In the world of dog training, it can be tempting to chase the quick fix.

You’re tired. Overwhelmed. Embarrassed by your dog’s behaviour.
And then along comes a professional — polished, confident — who promises instant results.

In just a few minutes, your dog is sitting. Staying. Seemingly “behaving.”

But beneath the obedience… is your dog okay?

At Dog Blossom, I believe in asking that deeper question.

🐾 What Quick Fixes Often Miss

Many traditional approaches to behaviour — as seen in popular TV shows — focus on stopping unwanted behaviour through tools, commands, and consequences. The dog may appear calm. But calm isn’t always peace. Sometimes, it’s shutdown.

Dogs, like humans, can suppress their feelings under pressure. They may comply out of fear, confusion, or simply a lack of options.

That’s not healing. That’s survival.

🌱 True Healing Takes Time

I don’t want your dog to just “behave.”
I want them to feel safe. Seen. Heard. Supported.

That means looking beneath the behaviour.
• Is your dog anxious? In pain? Overstimulated?
• Have they had time to process trauma?
• Are their needs — physical, emotional, and social — being met?
• Are they trying to tell you something?

Quick fixes often bypass all of this. And while they may give the illusion of success, they don’t always honour the root cause.

💚 A Different Way: Rooted, Gentle, Lasting

At Dog Blossom, I work differently. I blend behaviour with wellness. Training with trust. Boundaries with empathy. That means I:-

✔ Take the whole dog into account — body, mind, and heart
✔ Respect natural rhythms and sensitivities
✔ Support nervous systems (theirs and yours!)
✔ Use gentle, positive, relationship-based approaches
✔ Empower you to become your dog’s guide, not their controller

I don’t believe in dominance or “pack leader” models. I believe in connection. Because connection changes everything.

🌸 Let’s Grow Together

If you’re tired of patching problems and are ready to understand the deeper “why” behind your dog’s behaviour, you’re in the right place.

Healing takes time, but the journey is beautiful — for both of you.

Let’s walk it gently, together.

Holistic Canine Wellness - Where Health Meets Heart 🐾💛🐶

07/07/2025

I’ve worked with so many puppies over the past few years and something that stands out to me, is that the most robust puppies are generally those who’ve been left with their mums and siblings until they’re at least 10 weeks old.

The first 12 weeks of life are a critical window of emotional and neurological development for puppies.

During this time, puppies are learning how to be dogs — and removing them from their mother or littermates too early can have lifelong consequences.
Indeed, their first fear period kicks in at around 8 weeks which is precisely the time that most people would be collecting them from their breeders.
It doesn’t do well for them to leave the security of all that they know and to be separated at such a sensitive time.

🧠 Neurological & Emotional Development
• In weeks 6–12, the puppy’s brain is undergoing rapid development, especially the parts that regulate:
• Social bonding
• Emotional resilience
• Stress regulation
• Early removal can disrupt this development and lead to:
• Poor emotional regulation
• Greater sensitivity to stress
• A hyperactive or underdeveloped stress response system (HPA axis)

🧬 Epigenetics & Early-Life Stress
• Stress in early life — even subtle stress like loss of litter — can alter gene expression
• These changes can affect the immune system, emotional regulation, and resilience to disease later in life
• Early separation may prime the dog’s nervous system for anxiety, fear-based behaviours, or reactivity

🐕‍🦺 Learning Species-Specific Social Skills
• From 6 to 12 weeks, puppies learn vital canine communication through:
• Play-fighting with littermates
• Learning bite inhibition
• Experiencing corrections and comfort from their mum
• Without this, pups may grow into dogs who:
• Struggle to read other dogs
• Are overly mouthy or socially awkward
• Become fearful or defensive around other dogs

🫶 Maternal Bonding Matters
• A mother dog teaches more than just boundaries:
• She soothes her puppies, helping them learn to self-soothe
• Her presence regulates their nervous systems
• Removing the pup too soon removes a vital emotional anchor during a fragile phase of development

🧍‍♀️ Human Bonding Before the Puppy Is Ready
• Early-separated puppies may bond strongly to humans without having built inner confidence first
• This can result in:
• Clinginess or separation anxiety
• Over-dependence
• Difficulty being left alone

⏳ Why 8 Weeks Is Too Soon (for Many Puppies)
• While 8 weeks is still common in the UK and beyond, it’s often based on tradition, not what’s best for the pup
• Some breeds and sensitive temperaments benefit hugely from staying with mum and siblings until 10–12 weeks or even longer
• This gives time to:
• Build confidence
• Develop self-regulation skills
• Transition into the world at a biologically appropriate pace

🌱 The Long-Term Impact

Dogs removed too early are statistically more prone to:
• Generalised anxiety
• Reactivity and fear-aggression
• Noise sensitivity
• Attention-seeking or compulsive behaviours
• Difficulty coping with stress or change

✅ A Better Approach
• Allow pups to stay with mum and litter until at least 10–12 weeks, ideally with gentle exposure to the world during that time
• Support transitions gradually — with security, warmth, and continuity
• Honour their emotional development, not just their physical readiness

The other important thing to consider is that pups are protected against disease through the immunity of their mother and this immunity starts to wane at about 12-14 weeks. Having their puppy vaccines at the age of 8-10 weeks and then a booster two weeks later is both counter productive and potentially overloading their autoimmune system. If pups wait until they’re 12 weeks old until their first vaccine, there is no need for a booster two weeks later (this is cited in all the vaccine info from the manufacturers) and therefore there is less chemical overload and stress for the pup. Their system is far more likely to tolerate the vaccine at 12 weeks as opposed to 8 weeks and the vaccine will boost the natural immunity they’ll still be carrying from their mum.

The more we honour the emotional needs of puppies in those early weeks, the more healthy, resilient, balanced, and joyful their adult lives will be and the health benefits will also be far reaching. The less need for behaviourists and vets further down the line.

I would love that responsible breeders get on board with this! 😊🐾💛

Why Sometimes a Canine Physio or Chiro Is the Best First Call… 🐾✨

If your dog starts limping, seems stiff, or suddenly doesn’t want to jump on the sofa anymore, the natural reaction is often, “We need to go to the vet.” And sometimes, that is the right call — especially if there’s been an injury, illness, or your dog is in obvious distress. Vets are vital and brilliant. 🙏🐾

But here’s the thing: not every ache, pain, or movement issue is best treated with medication alone.
In fact, when the vet can’t find anything “obvious” on examination or imaging — but your dog still isn’t quite right — that’s often when a canine physiotherapist or chiropractor can make all the difference.

These practitioners are trained to feel and see the subtle things:

🐾 A misaligned pelvis
🐾 A tight muscle group from overcompensating
🐾 A restricted spinal segment
🐾 A soft tissue strain
🐾 An altered gait pattern from repetitive movement

Where a vet might prescribe rest and pain relief, a physio or chiro will restore movement, release tension, and support healing from the root. They’ll work with your dog’s body, not against it.

And the best part? Dogs LOVE it. They relax, they stretch, they smile again.

So if your dog is “not quite right,” moving differently, or ageing with stiffness — consider the team approach.

I know some fantastic veterinary physios, chiros and acupuncturists - in fact when my girl Typsy (in the RH of this photo) sustained some injuries after a fall last year, it was physio treatment (from AG Galt Physiotherapy) and scenar treatment (from vet Roger Meacock) that healed her.

Your vet, your physio, your chiro - each have a place. Sometimes though, it’s hands-on healing that’s most needed 🐾💛
