S**t Tip Episode 1. Ignore your dogs 😆👌

Today I’ve been out doing what I do best - 1:1 sessions helping dogs chill out on their walks. Once again I forgot to take any pictures except for this one 😂 so Milo has become today’s poster boy. To be fair though he was a star pupil, a close encounter with scooter and no lunging or barking. Then we’ve had Diesel the Dobie learning how to reconnect with the environment and actually explore to make his walks more enriching. And Rufus the patterdale learning some new lead handling skills for his over excitement. What a day! Note to self - remember to take photos!

Had a great session yesterday with Luca, practicing some new lead handling for reactivity. We saw a fair few other dogs and spent some time around our very own stooge dog. Apart from one tiny little frustrated moment he took everything in his stride. More to come from Luca

We can still help train your dog. We still train Ronnie, we just make modifications for him. It took us multiple vet visits, a change of vets, an Xray and MRI scan to get to the bottom of the issue for him, because he’s so good at hiding pain. Dogs are experts at hiding pain, especially to do something they find fun and especially if that activity is all they get during the course of a day. Ronnie has rest days if he’s been very active for a couple of days, joint supplements, limited time chasing his ball. He goes swimming for a low impact exercise. And if he needs painkillers we get them for him. This helps stop his unsettled behaviour in the evenings.

Red flags for pain:

Sudden behavioural changes:
Reluctance to do things they could do before.
Sudden aversion to going up/down stairs.
Sudden aversion to slippy floors.
Constant stretching (usually GI related).
Unsettled behaviour (pacing, panting, seeming like they can’t get comfortable).
Dislike of the car (if it’s never bothered them before).
Reaction to noises where they weren’t bothered before.
Grumpiness with being touched.

This is by no means an exhaustive list. It’s just some things you may notice and that I take note of as part of our training plan.
