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! ................

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.

Do you start hearing the Jaws theme song every time your puppy gets a bit too excited!? If you’ve ever owned a puppy, you’ve probably found yourself on the receiving end of those tiny teeth at least once! This week, we’re discussing a listener’s question and thinking about some of the key reasons behind why puppies bite. This super common mouthy behaviour might actually have more to do with the natural development of their brains than you think, so we’ll explore how we can use this to our advantage and grow some useful skills early on to help our dogs throughout their lives! We’ll also consider a few ways that you can help your puppy make better choices in the moment when they start to go over the top. Your arms, legs, hands, sleeves and shoelaces will thank you! ................ 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!

Has anyone ever told you that if you just “let your dog do what they were bred to do”, all of their behaviour struggles will miraculously disappear? Our dogs have evolved to have super strong skills in certain areas - from ultra-speedy, chase-y collies to laser-focused pointers - and it’s easy to believe that “giving them an outlet” to flex those skills could do them a lot of good! This week, we’re tackling this common dog behaviour myth and thinking about why this might not be the one-stop solution you’ve been looking for. While these skills can be useful in certain scenarios, we’ll explore why flipping the script and challenging the skills your dog is bred for might actually be the secret to unlocking positive growth and avoiding unwanted behaviours! You don’t need to be a dog breed expert - we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to unlock these evolutionary hacks! ................
