We often go into new courses with hope and excitement that it will be the one to turn our dog’s behaviour around. Only to find it’s nothing new. But training is often boring, repetitive and slow. Here I explain why.
After I put up a social post on some of the negative effects kindness in our minds can have. I wanted to touch a little more on this particular topic.
As an owner or a trainer, have you ever lost your nerve? I know I have and that’s what I’m talking about today. So if you’re going through this, know that you aren’t alone.
It’s world mental health day and I wanted to talk about how sometimes trying to do the best for our dogs can really impact our mental health.
This week I’ve been talking a lot about dogs on lead being as fulfilled as dogs off lead. This episode I talk about anticipation in training and how we can use it to help us with on lead guilt.
So this is my first episode! Bear with me. In this episode I wanted to talk about how I’ve been practicing gratitude and trying to create a habit in my brain of positive thinking rather than jumping to the negative. This has helped me massively when it comes to the way I feel when walks go wrong or we encounter mishaps in life.
I often hear it’s really hard to rehome a dog from rescue, especially in the UK. So here I am giving you some tips on how to write an application form that will get you noticed and at the top of the least for new dogs coming up for adoption.
A follow up from my recent post regarding working with extreme behaviours in rescue and why a gentle approach will always be my way to go.
It can be hard to get on the same page when you and your partner come from very different backgrounds or have different ideas when it comes to raising dogs. On this episode I’ll be taking through some ways to help navigate conflict.

Ever feel like you are doing it wrong? Lack motivation? Or generally feel a bit deflated. You are not alone.
I avoid aversive tools and in this episode I’ll talk about why I respect those who choose to do the same.
Ever felt disappointed when your dog doesn’t respond the way you hoped when you do the right thing? You are not alone.
We often feel accountable for the feelings of the ones we love and are responsible for. But we can’t control the way others feel, we just need to be there for them.
I know you want me to say yes, but is that actually the truth? Let’s look at what life might look like in the future of our reactive dogs.
I often talk about making walks more constructive and upping enrichment. But how can this help our reactive dogs?
As dog trainers, behaviourists, walkers, vets, rescue workers, passionate care givers, it can feel overwhelming when passing on education. Here I’m talking about why my comics were born from some of the overwhelm we feel when working with clients and how the app may help those working in the industry.
Are other canine guardians changing the structure of your walks. I really feel we are in a bit of a crisis, especially here in the UK with more and more people getting dogs without education or understanding of what to expect and what should be expected.
If you’re struggling with mouthing, jumping, humping or adolescence. This one’s for you.
