Calling all dog professionals and hobbyists!

🐾 What if the behaviour you’re trying to change can’t simply be trained away?

When a dog is struggling with their behaviour, it’s easy to focus on what the dog is doing.

But sometimes, we need to look deeper.

Pain, discomfort and changes within different body systems can all influence how a dog feels, copes and behaves. Understanding those connections can completely change the questions we ask and the support we put in place.

In Sickness and in Health, with Dr Amber Batson MRCVS, explores the fascinating relationship between physical health and canine behaviour.

Whether you’re a veterinary professional, dog trainer, behaviourist, canine professional, or simply passionate about understanding dogs at a deeper level, this course will encourage you to look beyond the behaviour in front of you and consider what might be happening underneath it.

Because challenging behaviour doesn’t always need better training.

Sometimes it needs better understanding. 💜🐶

Look beyond behaviour. Understand the dog.

Having an 'obedient' dog doesn't need to be hard work, boring, or involve shouting.

The key is building a bond, having fun, and rewarding your dog with things they find motivating. That could be:

✅️ playing a game

✅️ getting a treat

✅️ verbal praise

✅️ physical touch

✅️ sniffing

✅️ playing with another dog

In this clip, Diggory is practising staying in a sit until released, with the reward of searching for his favourite toy.

This makes a boring obedience behaviour 'sit and stay' into a predictor of good things.

So when I need him to sit and stay in real life, he is very happy to do so 🥳

🐶 Does your puppy think EVERY dog needs an enthusiastic hello?

Learning to greet other dogs calmly and politely is an important life skill.

We want our puppies to learn that seeing another dog doesn’t automatically mean CHARGE! 🚀 Instead, they can stay calm, listen to us and approach appropriately.

Practising these skills early helps build a puppy who can make better choices around other dogs and makes future walks much more enjoyable for everyone. 💜🐾

Little lessons now. Better habits for life.

And yes… polite greetings take practice! 🐶

🐶🦈 Has your gorgeous puppy suddenly turned into a tiny land shark?

Hands. Sleeves. Trouser legs. Children’s ankles. Nothing is safe. 😬

Puppy biting can be exhausting, especially when it feels as though you’ve tried EVERYTHING.

But here’s something really important to remember:

The biting is often telling us something.

Before focusing on how to stop it, have a little detective moment and ask WHY your puppy might be biting. 🔎🐾

They might be…

💤 TIRED
Young puppies need a LOT of sleep. An overtired puppy can quickly become a bitey puppy.

🦷 TEETHING
Those new teeth coming through can make little gums sore. Try giving your puppy appropriate things to chew, or make a simple cold teething soother.

🤪 OVER-EXCITED
Puppies aren't very good at putting the brakes on themselves yet. If play gets increasingly wild and the teeth appear, they may need help calming down rather than more play.

🍽️ HUNGRY
Notice whether the biting gets worse before meals. Sometimes a hungry puppy is a particularly grumpy little crocodile!

🎾 BORED
Chewing, biting and general puppy hooliganism can also be your puppy creating their own entertainment.

💬 COMMUNICATING
This one is easily missed. Your puppy can't say “I've had enough”, “I need some space” or “I'm uncomfortable”. Their body language often whispers it first, and biting can come when those earlier signals have been missed.

✨ TRY THIS:
For the next few days, keep a quick puppy biting diary.

Jot down:
• What time it happened
• What was happening just before
• When they last slept
• When they last ate
• What you were doing together

You might be surprised how quickly a pattern starts to appear. Once you understand the why, it becomes much easier to prevent your puppy biting before the teeth arrive. 🐾

And remember, puppy biting is an incredibly common part of puppyhood. Your puppy isn't plotting your downfall...
..although your favourite slippers may disagree. 😂💜
