Does your dog turn into a water fountain every time they greet another dog or person? This week, we’re exploring why some dogs urinate when they get too excited and how this embarrassing, awkward (and sometimes hilarious) behaviour can actually open the door to growing super valuable skills for our dogs. Whether they seem to love people just a bit too much or can’t control themselves every time they see another dog, we’ll explore why this behaviour isn’t just the result of poor toilet training and what their brain might actually be telling them under the surface. We’ll discuss a few of our top tips and tricks to help your dog make better choices, plus why your dog’s pee might actually be the secret to all-round behaviour progress!  

................
Whether your dog is unpredictable with other dogs or predictably bad…

Whether it looks like freezing, barking, lunging or running away…

Whether you are just starting out on your dog-owning journey or your dog has been labelled as having a “behaviour problem”…

… this episode is for you and is going to give you huge insights!

Could pain secretly be causing your dog’s sudden reactivity or changes in behaviour, even if they aren’t showing any outward signs of discomfort? This week we’re discussing a super important and valuable topic - how our dogs’ health, specifically pain, can influence how they feel, behave and perceive the world around them. While many of us think of the obvious signs of pain, such as limping, slowing down and difficulty completing everyday activities, by putting on our detective hats and looking for the often-missed emotional and behavioural clues, we can better understand how our dogs are really feeling. We’ll explore a few key signs that might suggest that your dog is experiencing pain, as well as how lifelong, underlying soreness can hide under the surface, so you can help support your dog through any challenges life throws their way!

Does going out for a walk always leave your dog wanting more, no matter how long it was or how much you did? Whether they pace around, get the zoomies, or even follow you like a shadow, when our dogs struggle to relax after getting home from a good walk, it can leave us feeling pretty confused! This week, we’re exploring why some dogs can’t seem to switch off after getting in from a walk, and what that might be telling us about their inner stress management. While age-old advice tells us that energetic, over-excited or hyper dogs just need more exercise and stimulation, we could unintentionally be adding little loads of stress onto their brain, leaving them feeling even more restless and frustrated than before they went out! We’ll consider what walks could look like for these dogs, including key skills and a few easy changes we can introduce to their daily lives to finally unlock their inner zen!

Is your dog suddenly afraid of totally random things that never used to bother them before? From wheelie bins, to scooters or even people wearing hats, when our dogs suddenly start showing signs that they’re scared of everyday things they used to ignore, it can be incredibly confusing and, at times worrying, for us owners. This week, we’re discussing the hidden reasons why your dog might be showing signs of fear out of the blue. When our dogs’ outward behaviour changes, it might mean that there’s something going on inside their brain or body that they need some extra support with. We’ll consider what these hidden influences might be and, more importantly, explore a few ways we can support them when they aren’t feeling their best!

Has your teenage dog forgotten everything that they once knew - including their own name!? This week, we’re exploring what adolescence really means for our dogs’ bodies and brains, as well as why this typically troublesome lifestage can actually be a valuable opportunity to level up your (and your dog’s) skills! While adolescence can inspire some funny and (often) embarrassing moments, it can also be a time of frustration and confusion, as our dogs may start displaying behaviours we’ve never seen before - from acting more stubborn than usual, to ignoring you completely! We’ll dive into some of the geeky science behind teenage behaviour change, before zooming in to think about some specific tips and tricks you can use when your dog seems to forget the skills and training they were experts at not so long ago. Remember - the teenage years aren’t forever. You’ve got this!

Does going out for a walk feel like you’re taking 2 completely different dogs with you? Does it always seem like your dog is rushing ahead, pulling on lead and eager to go until…you turn around and head home, and then they’re as good as gold, walking politely by your side? This week we’re exploring why our dog’s behaviour on walks can leave us feeling confused and what we can do to help them stay cool, calm and collected the whole time. We’ll consider what our dog’s brain might be telling them and why their everyday walk might be more like Christmas day than you realise! We’ll also walk through some super simple steps that you can use at home, in the garden and out and about to help channel your dog’s focus and keep them on their toes (or paws)!
