Hey there dog lover!

Do you want to learn something about your relationship with your dog?? (of course, you do! 😉)

Today, you are getting a sneak peek at one of the first lessons in my Relationship Remedy Online Program!

This is one of my favourite exercises that all of my students do. 

It's called BE with. 

I first learned about this when my dad bought me a baby horse. I was thrown into the deep end of trying to figure out horse psychology ( prey) instead of dog psychology (predator). 

So that began an incredible journey of learning and today I am sharing that with you! 

Your dog is always communicating with you... and this exercise will help you stop and take a moment to listen. :-)

I hope you enjoy this mediative exercise in awareness. 

Next Steps:

Hey there fellow dog lover!

Dog reactivity and off-leash dogs. 🐕

It's a hot topic for sure. 🔥

It can be said that dog reactivity is born from bad experiences when your dog is on a leash.

But today I am talking about how I turned a potentially bad situation into a dog-bonding experience.

I am sharing exactly what I did, why I did it and sharing 3 tips on how to help your dogs when off-leash dogs approach you while you are walking your dog.

Now disclaimer time:

There are many variables when it comes to off-leash encounters with other dogs. Today's story worked because these dogs weren't aggressive and the owners were great people. That won't always be the case therefore, always consult a professional dog trainer to help you if you are struggling with dog reactivity and off-leash dog encounters

Hey there dog lover!

We are still talking about barking! It's a hot topic for sure.

This week's question comes from my friend Susanne, who travels with her 8-month-old dog and goes wild whenever anyone approaches the car.

Let's find out why, and what to do about it.

Hey dog lover!

Well, barking is a hot topic! Am I right?

So let's continue the fun with this week's episode on Attention Barking!

Attention barking is when your dog is barking at you.

They are demanding you to play, feed or pay attention to them in some way.

Attention barking can be frustrating and may have you shouting! BE QUIET! NO BARKING! more than you would like to admit. And if that is you my dog-loving friend... This is the episode for you!

So let's review the 3 truths about attention barking and what you can do about it.

Oh! and...

special shout out to Shar who commented on Spotify! Thank you for the inspiration for this episode!

And if you would like your question answered be sure to get on the Canine Chronicle Weekly Digest and message me!

Your question could be featured in the weekly email series on the podcast or Question of the Week!

Hey there dog lover!

Do you have a dog that barks at everything going on outside? Barking at the door, the windows, the fence line? Today on the podcast I am talking about barking. But not just any barking. Alert barking. And I am sharing this one surprising tip I learned after watching my daycare dogs. Dogs really are the best teachers when it comes to understanding our dog's behaviours. So if you are ready to try something a little more "dog-like" Let's get to it!
