Zen Dog Training & Behaviour

27/08/2025

🐾 A little update 🐾

It’s been quiet on here as I’ve been focusing on my health after becoming unwell. I’m feeling much better than I was, though it’s still an up-and-down journey.

Before that, I faced some very tough and upsetting behavioural cases that really took a toll on me, and I knew I needed to take a step back.

Right now, I’m enjoying running an escape room with a friend, something fun, creative, and a little lighter on the mind!

Dog training is still my passion, and I won’t be away forever. For now, I’m putting my wellbeing first 💚

Context is everything!
Same dog, same day, same environment so what's different?

I try to set them for up success and avoid environments/situations where they will struggle to focus on me if I need them to. But for the best part I just let them be dogs 🐶
I don't want them to be rigidly walking beside me throughout the whole walk, where's the fun in that! But I want them to be able to focus on me when it matters. So if you see me being pulled along the road, maybe Roo has caught a scent and I am along for the ride or maybe he's had crap training 🤷‍♀️😉

I had to jump on the 'make my dog human' bandwagon and nothing could ever prepare me for these results 🤣

If you have used ai to do this I would love to see 😆 or drop a picture of what you think your dog would like as a human in the comments section.

Watching Roo enjoying the sunshine and wondering what he's thinking about 💭
Probably something food related 🤣

Post pics of your dogs enjoying the sunshine 🌞

Anyone else feel like they're on an episode of Master Chef when cooking food?
My judges like to assess my dishes, provide constructive criticism and hover whilst I'm preparing and cooking 🤣

Today is my birthday and this is how my day began...I can't think of a better way to start the day, with doggy snuggles in bed 🐾💚

After 2 months of wearing the cone and gentle leash walks only. The cone is off and Reg enjoyed a run this morning.
His eye is healing well 💚

I post a lot about dogs mental health and the mood boosting 'feel good' chemicals to relieve stress, regulate arousal states, improve mood, general wellbeing and behaviour. Don't forget it's also important for us too! 💚
