Boundary baseball! ⚾️
Once you teach your dog a good level of boundaries, it’s important to switch up your boundary. This teaches your dog to be more flexible and makes the behaviour more real life!
This weekend we had a crash course in boundaries as part of our life skills course 🤩 It is important to get the basics right with boundaries, for a good solid foundation. The students this week now have an arsenal of games to play to build their boundary games 🙌🏻

Yesterday we began our Life Skills course!
In week 1 we concentrated on calmness (which was just as well in this heat 🥵).
Our clients learned about the importance of growing calmness as a concept and how it can help with a variety of behaviour struggles.
Well done to everyone who attended week 1! You did great 🙌🏻
Registration is now open for week 2! Spaces are limited so book today to secure you place.
If you’re interested but would like some more information, please feel free to send me a message 😊

We often have a tendency to judge dogs purely based on their breed.

Isn't this similar to how people are judged based on their nationality or ethnicity?

Essentially, isn't this a form of discrimination?

I understand that breeds have general traits, but these are broad characterisations and not rigid rules. Dogs have genetic inheritance and knowing that is extremely useful.

Yet, just like humans, every dog is an individual, with a unique personality and behaviour, moulded by their environment, upbringing, and personal experiences.

We shouldn't make blanket judgements about people from a certain country and we shouldn't assume all dog behaviours arise from their breed. We shouldn't assume that the individual dog will display all potential breed behaviours.

It's undeniably crucial to remember that behaviour isn't only about breed - it's also about learning, environment, socialisation, love, and care.

So let's take time to understand our dogs as individuals and challenge our preconceptions about breeds. Let's educate ourselves, spread awareness, and strive for a world where every dog is treated with the respect they deserve.

We are also looking to add another positive puppy workshop!
We were hoping to squeeze one in before the course starts but I wanted to see if there would be enough interest first 🙂
Would anyone be interested if we put one on next weekend? June 4th.
