Pawsability: November 2014
http://pawsabilityuk.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, 16 November 2014. What's the most common cause of behaviour problems in adult dogs? Polite exposure to life’s experiences -. It’s all very easy for us dog behaviourists and trainers to presume that pet owners know things. We. Know that there’s been a lot of work done on the important topics. We. But, experience from seeing a few behaviour cases last weekend tells me differently. Therefore, it seemed perhaps helpful to share some information. It’s therefore crucially important to get as much...

Pawsability: Dog Food, Feeding and Behaviour
http://pawsabilityuk.blogspot.com/2014/08/dog-food-feeding-and-behaviour.html
Wednesday, 20 August 2014. Dog Food, Feeding and Behaviour. Does diet have anything do do with dog behaviour problems? Many trainers and behaviourist have been tearing their hair out over this question. Why are some dogs absolutely happy on some dog foods and others seem hyper or bitey or skinny or even perhaps aggressive? Is high protein good or bad? Are carbohydrates good or bad? Are additives good or bad? Is diet part of the equation? The Good Dog Diet is a book that allows readers to answer these que...

Tuesday, 20 November 2012. How to Stop dog pulling. This is such a common problem, that it's worth reposting about this again. I was only the other day that I was sitting in a friends house and she'd been out walking the dog that she's looking after for a friend - a spaniel! On her return she declared - argh! Did you not hear me screaming? Blasted dog pulled me right over in the mud! Now does this sound familiar? Dog training aids to stop pulling are really the only way to crack the pulling problem.

Pawsability: June 2014
http://pawsabilityuk.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 10 June 2014. When our dogs are anxious or scared of something, many of us turn to some form of drug for help. Many of course don’t, and are really reluctant to use any form of medication. However, there are many different options for us nowadays: herbal pills, treats with added calming ingredients, nutritional supplements, pheromone therapy, plug ins, collars, clinical medication, homeopathy and Bach flower remedies. Herbal pills and calming treats. These have a variety of different herb mixes.

Tuesday, 23 April 2013. How to train your difficult dog. A thought occurred to me this morning as I was practicing guitar. I'm just learning, and it's really quite difficult. I have some great tutors tho including web coach guru justinguitar.com. And folk legend Dave Goulder, and Jas Smith not to mention all the other incidentals that happen to cross my path when learning tunes or at concerts / sessions / practicing with friends etc. (many thanks all). Anyhow, that's not particularly important. In front ...

Pawsability: December 2014
http://pawsabilityuk.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 31 December 2014. New year, new dog, new you…. As each New Year comes around most of us promise ourselves that we’re going to make changes in our lives. We will lose weight or get more exercise, or eat more healthily for instance. Sadly, most new years resolutions are broken within a few weeks, I believe. So how about making a promise with your dog and having a New Years Resolution Dogs Buddy? Here are some win-win ideas. If you’d like any help with any behaviour or training problems the...

Pawsability: The menace of fireworks for dogs (and pets)
http://pawsabilityuk.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-menace-of-fireworks-for-dogs-and.html
Thursday, 16 October 2014. The menace of fireworks for dogs (and pets). Most dog owners know that dogs are scared of fireworks. Those who have an affected dog may indeed presume that it’s just a thing. That all dogs are scared. Well, strangely, many dogs don’t bat an eyelid - only about 40% are affected. So the question really is why are some dogs scared? Well, we really just don’t know. Maybe it’s similar to people being scared of spiders or snakes. Maybe it’s an inherited phobia. For puppy owners to-be...

Tuesday, 11 June 2013. 1-1 Dog Training Inverness and the Highlands. Training your dog is important. It's not just about ordering your dog about. It's about helping your dog or puppy to understand you. Once they understand you and you understand them, then your life with your dog will be much happier. Pawsability Dog Training is not about training your dog. Well of course that features highly. But would it not be just great if you learned "how to talk to your dog". A 2 hour 1-1 Dog Training session is ab...

Pawsability: May 2014

Sunday, 4 May 2014. How to choose your behaviourist or trainer. Even as little as just 10 years ago, if you had problem with your dogs behaviour, then you’d probably just find the local dog training club, or perhaps ask your vet for help. Sadly, just a few months ago, I was asked to help a lovely couple that were just about to have a baby and had 2 problematic puppies. They realised that the dogs were going to be handful shortly after they came home and tried to find some help. Their story follows. Six m...
