​​Under pressure, we don't behave like the person we are when we feel calm, confident, safe and rested. 

​

The same goes for our dogs. 

​

Many difficult behaviours will just fade away when you:

*identify your dog's emotions

 *understand their purpose *regulate them.

*use them thoughtfully and purposefully.

​​​​​

Curious? I'd love to chat with you.​​​​​​​​​

You love your dog and want to live your best life together.
You just need some guidance and support. 
You're ready and willing to make some changes.

I can help you prioritise your efforts by:

​

* Helping you to better understand what your dog is trying to tell you.

​

This will help us to:

​

* Identify what to STOP doing because it either isn't helping or is making matters worse.

​

* Identify what to START doing that will be of the most help in the short and longer term. 

At the centre of our work will be:

Emotions
* Emotions drive behaviour (and non behaviour.)
* They're always happening (even if you don't notice them).
* They're often misinterpreted (and can lead to frustrating/ dangerous situations.)
* Emotions are 'whole body' experiences.

PREVENTION - The Underused Tool

You can be a warm, loving dog owner and also set boundaries for your dog.
Boundaries help you and your dog.
They prevent many training and behaviour problems even starting.
They give you breathing space from a problem that's already begun.
They keep dogs, other animals, and people, safe.
