Q: Why does my dog ignore me when they know the cue at home?

A: Dogs don't automatically understand that a cue means the same thing in every environment. A sit in your kitchen is very different from a sit in the park when there are smells, people and other dogs competing for their attention.

Rather than assuming your dog is being stubborn, think about whether they've had enough practice in different places and around different distractions. Training isn't just about teaching a cue, it's about helping your dog succeed wherever they are.

If you'd like more simple, supportive training advice, join us in My Dog Hub for our next live Q&A on Tuesday 16th June. It's free to join and the perfect place to ask questions and learn alongside other dog owners.

You called your dog. They looked at you… and then carried on finding the BIGGEST stick they can. 😂

Don't worry, that's pretty normal.

Dogs do what feels most rewarding in that moment and sometimes that huge stick, or that nice smell over in the bushes is winning.

Especially if coming back has previously meant the lead going on, the fun ending, or no real payoff for checking back in with you.

Really good recall isn’t about having the “perfect” dog. It comes from building value in being close to you, making coming back worthwhile and practising it over and over in real life situations.

The good news is that recall can absolutely be improved with the right training, consistency and relationship building. 💙

What distraction beats your recall cue every time? 👀👇

Ever wish your dog could just tell you what they were feeling? 🐾

The reality is… they already are. Sometimes the signs are just easy to miss.

A lot of behaviour that feels confusing, frustrating or unexpected actually starts with subtle body language signals that many owners don’t realise they’re seeing.

That’s exactly what Miranda will be exploring in our Understanding Canine Communication Seminar on 9th June, part of our Chaos to Confidence owner education series.

This live online seminar, hosted in My Dog Hub, is designed to help you better understand what your dog is communicating, so you can respond with more confidence and less guesswork in everyday life together.

We’ll look at:
🐾 Common body language signals
🐾 What behaviour may be telling you emotionally
🐾 The subtle signs owners often miss
🐾 How to respond in supportive ways

Perfect for owners wanting a deeper understanding of their dog and their behaviour. 💙

📍 Online in My Dog Hub
📅 9th June
🕕 6:15pm to 8pm
🎥 Live with replay access available
