A little update…

I’ve officially started my Level 6 Diploma in Clinical Animal Behaviour!

This is the next step towards becoming a Clinical Animal Behaviourist, something I’ve wanted to work towards for a while now.

Lots of studying ahead alongside everything else, but I’m really looking forward to learning more and bringing that knowledge into the work I already do with dogs and their owners 🐶

Another recent session with these boys, who are an absolute delight to work with! 💙💙

Skip’s little appeasement grin was caught on camera today because he was so excited to see me.

I know these boys really well now, and they’re always so happy and excited when I arrive. Because I know Skip and can look at his whole body language and the context around the behaviour, I know that showing his teeth here isn’t a snarl or a warning - it’s his very cute, rather dramatic way of greeting me!

A lovely reminder that we should never interpret one piece of body language in isolation.

We’re starting to gradually add in more distractions now, building on all the foundations we’ve already put in place and helping him make good choices even when there’s more going on around him

Another session with these fab boys this morning! 💙💙

Today the boys had a little cuddle from me while I sat down and chatted with their lovely mum about what’s been going well and what hasn’t been going quite so well. We talked through a few tweaks to help the boys make good choices out on walks, as well as ways we can build their confidence around the cat flap.

We then worked on their emergency stops, sit/stays, longline handling and have also started introducing some Scentwork.

The boys were also in need of a nail clip, so we discussed the best way to approach this and, of course, ‘Treat Lady’ was on hand to help them see nail clipping as a positive experience!

If any of my clients would like help with something like nail clipping, please feel free to mention it during our sessions. I’m always happy to help where I can, and I’ll always be honest if I don’t think your dog is currently at a point where they’re able to cope with nail clipping.

Sometimes the best thing we can do is take a step back, build confidence and work at a pace that keeps our dogs feeling safe and comfortable. 🐾

A lovely recommendation from a recent post in a local Facebook group ❤️

I’m always incredibly grateful when someone takes the time to recommend me, especially when they’ve genuinely experienced working with me.

I don’t think dog training is about having a “perfect” dog. It’s about helping people understand their dogs, giving them the right tools, and making everyday life a little easier for both ends of the lead.

So thank you to everyone who has recommended Super-Nova Dog Training & Behaviour. It really does mean a lot. 🐾

If you’ve worked with me and have found it helpful, thank you for trusting me with your dogs. ❤️

Something to think about…

Your dog doesn't need to meet every dog they see on a walk.
They don't need to say hello to every person.

Sometimes, being able to calmly walk past distractions and carry on with you is a much more valuable skill.

This photo was taken while my dog was loose-lead walking past an entire football field of school children practising - and honestly, that's the kind of behaviour I love to see. ❤️

It's about having a dog who can notice what's going on and still choose to stay connected with you.

Neutral is good.

If anyone needs me urgently please put urgent in the subject line or WhatsApp me. Otherwise I’ll get through them over the next few days ☀️

Absolutely ecstatic about another client win recently!

I’ve been working with the most handsome high-prey drive boy, who has a history of chasing, catching and consuming deer.

Our work has been focused on improving his recall and helping him find more socially acceptable ways to fulfil the job his genetics are shouting out for!

Recently, he went for a walk with his friend, a sighthound. When they both spotted deer up ahead, his friend took off in pursuit… but this clever boy recalled back to his lovely mum on the second call.

This is a HUGE win for his fabulous mum, and a brilliant example of why consistency, patience and those baby steps matter so much.

I’m always honest with my clients: there is no magic wand when it comes to dog training. What I can see is the potential in the dog in front of me and, with the right support and plenty of practice, help them and their human find a way forward.

And this is proof that the effort really does pay off. ❤️
So incredibly proud of this team!
