Poppy the Macedonian rescue struggled with overstimulated and excitement in her new life. She wanted to be best friends with every dog, person, bird, leaf, she saw and HAD to get to them ASAP, resulting in lots of pulling on the lead.

Poppy and her mum worked so hard in and outside of sessions on their homework, well done Team Poppy 🩷

Good stress vs bad stress 🌀
Stress doesn’t need to be all of nothing, a healthy amount of eustress is needed for being able to process triggers in a safe and controlled environment. But if a dog is subjected to flooding with triggers every day, the acute distress can easily turn into chronic stress, as dogs can hold onto cortisol for up to 72 hours. Decompression is needed to prevent the issues that come along with chronic stress.

In people, chronic stress can cause full blown health issues, so imagine what it can do to our dogs! For any big emotion, like reactive or anxious behaviours, you can’t fight fire with fire, you need to be your dogs watering can - to help slowly put the burning out, and help them grow. 🌱
