I absolutely love this visual. ❤️

Dogs will often give us lots of subtle signals long before they feel the need to growl, snap or bite — lip licking, turning their head away, yawning, moving away, becoming still or showing the whites of their eyes.

The more we learn to recognise and 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀, the better we can support our dogs before they become overwhelmed.

A growl isn’t a dog being “naughty” — 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Recognising those early signs gives us the opportunity to step in, give our dogs the space they need and prevent things from escalating. 🐶💛

Definitely worth saving and having a good look through 👇🏻

Thank you to Renee Rhoades, MSc for putting together such a brilliant visual — definitely one worth saving and referring back to. 🐾❤️

Dogs communicate constantly, and they do it subtly. Almost all of it happens through the body: a lip lick, a head turn, a paw lifted and held. Learning to read these signals accurately isn't just a nice skill to have. It's a responsibility. When cues are misread or missed entirely, behavior escalates, and sometimes that escalation ends in a bite.

Reading their language properly means you get to understand their experience on their terms. Not how you imagine they feel. What they are actually telling you, observably, in real time.

Aggressive isn't who a dog is. It's a response, shaped by context and by what has happened to them before. Dogs, when they feel threatened, or when what they tried was ignored.

They are forced to act.

So how do you support a dog through this?

You catch the lower rungs. You notice the lip licking, the yawning, the whale eye, the moving away, and you kindly guide them out of the situation or end the interaction entirely.

When our dogs are listened to, advocated for our dog learns that the quiet cues work. That they were heard the first time. Over time, that builds a dog who communicates more clearly and more confidently, because they've learned they don't have to shout to be understood.

You may have missed some of these before. Most guardians have, because most of us were never taught them. Knowing them now is how we change the conversation around aggression.

🐾💙 𝗜 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗞 𝗜𝗧’𝗦 𝗙𝗔𝗜𝗥 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗔𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗜𝗦 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗪! 💙🐾

This is beautiful boy Rover, who I had the pleasure of working with last year. 🐾💙

Rover is now in his 𝟲𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲, finally living with the most loving and dedicated owners. We don’t know his full history, but after a few months in his new home, his reactivity towards other dogs was increasing and, during reactions, he had caught his owners with his teeth a couple of times.

At that point, 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁. Pubs, cafés, trips away and simply being able to relax with him out and about just weren’t really possible.

𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘄… and I received this absolutely wonderful update from his owners. 🥹👇

Hi Jo!
An unbelievably well behaved Rover on a road trip around Europe!

Travelling well in the van, snoozing in pubs and cafes, and being a metroploitan princess in between his mountain runs.

We keeping pinching ourselves this is the same dog as a year ago. Still finds offence in anything with four legs, but is currently sleeping at my feet in a bar in Denmark.

FurryTails definitely played a huge part in this and gave us the tools to make this a reality!

Behaviour change isn’t about creating the “perfect” dog or expecting every struggle to disappear. It’s about understanding the dog in front of you, giving them and their owners the right tools, and helping them build a life that feels bigger, calmer and more manageable.

What a lovely evening with 6 gorgeous dogs and their wonderful owners. ❤️

The focus, teamwork and enthusiasm from everyone was incredible. Every team made fantastic progress, building confidence, calmness and engagement whilst working around other dogs and their humans. 🐶✨

I absolutely love watching dogs discover the joy of using their incredible noses. Scentwork gives every dog the chance to succeed, think independently, build confidence and simply have fun! 👃🐾

A huge well done to all of you – you should be very proud of yourselves and your dogs. 🥰

❤️ They’ll thank you for it!

🐶🐱 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗣𝘂𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝗴?

Introducing a new puppy or dog into a home with resident dogs, cats or other animals can be exciting, but it’s a big change for everyone.

𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

Your animals don’t need to meet immediately or become best friends.
Calm, safe coexistence is a perfectly good outcome.

🏡 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲

Put stair gates, crates, playpens, beds and other equipment in place before your new arrival if possible. This allows your resident animals to adjust without everything changing all at once.

👃 𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁

Ask the breeder or rescue centre if they can gently wipe your new puppy or dog’s coat with a clean microfibre cloth.
Leave it somewhere your resident dog or cat can choose to investigate in their own time.

🐶 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲

Puppies can be bouncy, mouthy and persistent. Your older dog shouldn’t have to constantly entertain, tolerate or correct them!

If your resident dog walks away, help your puppy disengage and give your older dog the break they’ve asked for.

🐱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀

Provide dog-free areas, high escape routes and easy access to food, water, sleeping areas and litter trays.

Your cat should never feel trapped or forced to interact.

🐰 The same principles apply to rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens and other small animals. Prevent chasing, barking, staring and fixation from becoming established.

🚫 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗹

Every time a dog chases the cat, pesters another dog or races towards a smaller animal, they’re rehearsing that behaviour.

Management isn’t cheating, it’s an important part of training.

🧠 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀

Try:

• Scatter feeding
• Snuffle mats
• LickiMats
• Stuffed KONGs
• Appropriate long-lasting chews
• Simple scent games

Cats can enjoy LickiMats and puzzle feeders too!

With enough space or a secure barrier, you can begin creating the association:

𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 = 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗲, 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻.

❤️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲?

It might be your older dog peacefully snoozing while the puppy plays elsewhere.

It might be your cat walking through the room while your dog barely notices.

It might simply be all of your animals feeling safe, relaxed and comfortable sharing the same home.

𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀.

𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹. ❤️

🐾 Are you bringing home a new puppy or rescue dog soon, or are you struggling with introductions already?
Planning ahead can make all the difference for every animal in your home.

There is simply no need for tools such as shock collars, prong collars or choke chains, or training methods designed to frighten or hurt dogs.
