I was in a coffee shop today when I got chatting t I was in a coffee shop today when I got chatting to a mum and her 4 month old Vizsla puppy.

Four kids. A gorgeous, energetic pup. They wanted a great family dog, and he is! But, you guessed it, typical puppy problems, and everyone in the house could do with more training.

So I explained what my 3 month programme actually looks like. Week 1 isn’t tricks. It’s me in your living room for 90 minutes working out what’s really going on. What’s he doing, where, when, and how it’s affecting you.
Then we make a plan you can start the same day.

Here’s something you can try tonight. Think about your dogs day today- have they had enough of each of these things?

 🐾 Exercise
 🧠 Play - sniffing, chewing, playing etc
 💤 Sleep

Which one is running low? Top up that one. Just one!

Save this for the next time he’s driving you up the wall.
Welcome, I've got coffee, the good snacks you sec Welcome, I've got coffee,  the good snacks you secretly eat when the kids aren't looking and the lowdown on how to get your puppy to quit eating your skirting boards. It's all going to be ok 🐶♥️
Fireworks season is here, and so is the stress. “S Fireworks season is here, and so is the stress. “Should I comfort her? Will I make it worse?”

Here’s the good news. You can reinforce behaviour, but you can’t reinforce feelings. If your dog wants to snuggle in when the fireworks start, that's absolutely fine and absolutely will not make their fear worse. 

The rest is easy to set up before the bangs start:
🐾 Walk them early, before it gets dark
 🐾 Make a cosy den (a crate, a room without windows, or your old jumper on a blanket)
 🐾 Get a long-lasting chew or snuffle mat ready
 🐾 Close the curtains and get some background noise sorted. White noise, Classic FM or just turn the TV up. 
 🐾 Check their ID tag and microchip details are up to date
🐾 If your dog is pacing, panting or hiding or having really big feelings about fireworks, get yourself to the vets ahead of time. You don’t have to wing this alone. 💛

Save this post for the noisy nights and send it to someone whose dog hates this season!
