💙 A shout-out to Paws in the City Greenford! 🐾

A huge thank you to the team for taking the time to help one of my Romanian Rescue clients feel more comfortable with the veterinary environment, especially after she had such a negative experience at another vet.

By meeting outside, allowing plenty of time for positive interactions, and giving her the freedom to get used to both the people and the environment without any pressure, you helped both her and her human feel more at ease. ❤️

These seemingly small things can make such a huge difference to how a dog feels about future veterinary visits.

Building positive associations, respecting a dog’s pace, giving them choice helps create a foundation of trust that makes continued visits so much easier for everyone.🐾💙

What are everyone’s thoughts on this, Hillingdon Council want to remove all dog 💩 bins?

The dog waste bin on your regular walk could be gone by the end of January. The Council wants to remove all 700 of them and hasn’t asked residents what they think. Dog owners would be told to put t…

Today I was invited back to speak to the u3a UK Pet Psychology Group about anxiety, following my talk to the group last year.

I absolutely loved every moment of it. ❤️

They are such an engaged, thoughtful and knowledgeable group, and I always really value the interesting discussions and questions that come up. It is not just a case of me talking; it becomes a genuine exchange of ideas, experiences and different points of view, which I find incredibly rewarding.

Today’s talk was about anxiety in dogs, including what can cause it, what can keep it going, and how uncertainty, ongoing stress and strong emotions can affect behaviour. We looked at how dogs communicate that they are struggling through their behaviour and body language, and why it is important to understand what they are trying to tell us rather than simply trying to stop the behaviour.

We also talked about recognising what triggers anxiety, understanding each dog’s individual limits, reducing stress in their environment and using kind, effective training to help them feel calmer and cope better. Supporting an anxious dog is not about forcing them to face their fears or simply hiding the signs of anxiety. It is about improving their quality of life and helping them feel safer and more confident.

I love working one-to-one with dogs and their caregivers, but there is something particularly rewarding about sharing ideas with a group of people who are genuinely interested in understanding dogs and helping them have happier, better lives.

There may be more speaking and teaching in my future. 🥰

Thank you to Lucy Lofting and the U3A Pet Psychology Group for inviting me back. It was an absolute pleasure. ❤️

Something I think can be often overlooked.

Small dogs live in a world where everything is big. Think about that when you walk him, and let him have a choice of where to walk and how close is comfortable.

Final day of the workshop! 🐾
The workshops run by Educating Animals, Jo Mason and Jim Mackie never disappoint, which is why I go back every year! I’m gutted I have to wait until 2028 for the next one, as next year is already booked up!
It’s such an incredible, supportive learning environment, with amazing coaches and delegates. Honestly, every time I go, I learn something new, not just from the coaches but from everyone who takes part.
Watch this space for some of the training videos I can’t wait to share with you!

Day 3 final day tomorrow 😞 , what amazing progress today, we managed to get as far as the Raccoon being side on eating whilst I brought a syringe near to her hind end still at a distance from the bar but amazing progress, she was clear when she said “no” telling me to move away and we always respected that. We worked on crate training the Lemurs and were able to start adding some of the divides. The animals always have the choice to leave or have another option to get the same reinforcer.

Amazing day with incredible like minded people.
