I’ve had comments in the past that my dogs look bored when they’re simply lying watching me which blew my mind.

Dogs need a LOT of rest.

To me a bored dog is one that is looking for something to do, not one that is chilling out. A chilled dog is a sign that they are happy, whereas a dog that is looking for something to do is probably under-stimulated.

Apply this to anything:
🐾 Teeth brushing
🐾 Nail trimming
🐾 Ear Cleaning
🐾 Affection

Whenever you find yourself moving towards your dog ask yourself, could this be an opportunity for cooperation.

You and your dog should feel like a team!

Having brought defensive aggressive dogs into my home before, this has been a really important part of building a bond, and confidence in me. But it wasn’t until I watched other people with their dogs that I realised that they don’t do this naturally.

Dogs are so very special to us and we want to protect them at all costs, but what if the cost is creating a nervous dog that can’t figure things out for themselves, or shut down under a bit of pressure? A lifetime of a nervous system that they can’t regulate themselves? This is what we should be protecting them from! Not a little moment of discomfort.

Would you keep your child from ever doing something that took them out of their comfort zone? Going to nursery, school, college? Going down a slide? No! Of course you wouldn’t!

So why do we think that dogs need to be molly coddled through life because they’re ‘scared’? When really they simply haven’t built up a resilience to life.

Sometimes it can be really tempting to keep stroking your dog and telling them it’s okay when they’re uncomfortable, but what can actually happen is the dog starts to depend on you for that comfort and you end up creating a more nervous, needy dog. The best thing to do is to sit quietly. We sat there for about 10 minutes, and I just made sure that my energy was nice and calm so that Winston didn’t think it was a big deal.

We will work on this exposure over the next couple of weeks so he is more comfortable in all environments but I saw a nice improvement today.

Also I didn’t literally say ‘go away’ to the children, that would just be mean 😆

Breakfast!

Bhadra got a little telling off for trying to playfully bite Winston’s leg, but he’s not used to that. An appropriate correction with a lovely recovery 💖

Cat? What cat!

Let’s not dive out the van as soon as the door opens 😅

First ecollar session was perfecto 👌

Let’s not rush back to the van.

We had a little reaction to a dog so took a moment to de-stress 🧘‍♀️

No need to rush!

Big snoozes with new friends 💖

Need a bigger house 🏠😅

Practicing for cafe visits 😊

3 days in and Winston is neutral to the cats. He’s watched them eat, they have ate together, they have sniffed his crate, they have sniffed each other, he has watched them p**p 💩 🙈 😂

THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH ALL DOGS, but by watching the body language and knowing when to intervene (I didn’t have to with Winston), this has gone really smoothly.

Bringing a reactive dog into the house isn’t for the faint of heart. You must be in high alert all of the time, watching body language, knowing when to step in and when to isolate and knowing when a muzzle can come off.

It’s a much easier ride from now on with all dogs and cats getting along nicely 💖
