Listener Question: "How Do I Help My Dog To Settle When He's Aroused & Highly Worked Up

Lauren asked "how do I get my dog to settle when he is aroused and highly worked up?"
This is something that is often thought about in relation to puppies or young dogs, but in my experience lots of adult dogs experience this too and it can feel very tricky to manage.

Help Your Dog To Understand You Better With These Human Training Games

Letters From Your Dog

04/23/22 • 10 min

Often we have high expectations of our dogs. Expecting them to make sense of what we are asking from them, even though we can be quite confusing sometimes!
One of the key skills that makes things a little easier on your dog is your timing. If you can time things correctly it's easier for them to understand when they've done something right, so they can do more of it!
It is also makes it less likely that you will reward the wrong things and accidentally reinforce behaviours that you aren't so keen on.
In this episode I talk through some fun little exercises that you can do, without your dog, to improve your timing :)

Managing Feelings Of Guilt As A Dog Parent

Letters From Your Dog

08/11/23 • 21 min

In this episode I'm sharing an important question (and my answer) to something asked by one of my Trainer In Your Pocket students (join trainer in your pocket here).
Today we are talking guilt. How to manage the guilt that so many of us feel when it comes to parenting our dogs. This could be guilt about not doing enough with our dogs, not sticking to a training plan or about more serious things like repeatedly losing your temper with your dog, or thinking about rehoming your dog for their best interests.
