We help you to understand dogs through their own language, psychology, behaviour, and training needs. How does your dog ask you a question?

Most behavioural concerns in dogs today are related to a misunderstanding, whether this is the dog misunderstanding humans or humans misunderstanding dogs. Pack Leader or Pecking Order Theories are no longer relevant to domestic dogs. Scientific studies now suggest your dog will never surpass the mental age of a three to five year old child, children ask a mountain of questions. By showing you th

Can you help poor Daisy?

Sadly, and through no fault of her own Daisy has to leave her original forever home. Her adopter has unforseen health related concerns now and unable to offer her what she needs any longer.

Although, specific requirements are required for Daisy.
Daisy is a very anxious dog, who has come a long way in the time with her adopter, although is still worried about the outside world and any changes inside the home. Daisy is quite vocal to highlight her concerns.

She loves to learn and is very affectionate to those she trusts, however, she doesn't trust many. So the future adopter needs to help build her trust with frequent visits to her current home, in the hope of eventually building her trust to be able to build her confidence further by training her and escellating her confidence both inside and out.

Background
Daisy was originally rescued from the streets abroad about 5years ago, the only medical condition is anxiety, brought on by her canine neurodivergent brain.

She is currently on medication to help with the anxiety although the hope is to be able to reduce the medication as her confidence builds with the right person and with the help of psychological therapies, taught to the new adopter by Connors Legacy Dog-Behaviourist (costs covered by current adopter until adoption change).

So if you are, or you know someone who is confident around dogs and willing to learn various aspects of modern canine psychology, behaviour, language, and current training therapy to help build trust and respect to become the key person in Daisy's life.

It's very important that no pack theory methodology is used with Daisy as this will cause a fear response. Setting back her progress by a number of months or years.

She currently doesn't bother with other animals within her home environment (birds, squirrel, and so on), although she is not cat or dog tested in recent times so is ideally the only pet at present. However, dogs maybe very helpful in building her confidence in the future.

Please contact me with any questions or to put yourself forward via text with why you think you should be considered to the number below 👇, otherwise please offer it to someone else you believe maybe able to help Daisy to become happy in a new environment again.

Interviews will be within the potential adopters home, and successful candidates will be invited to meet Daisy during the afternoon on a weekday.

Please share this post. Thank you for your time on this post.

What Creates an Escalation of Dog Behaviour?

Trying to help a dog understand what they shouldn't be doing often causes changes in their psychology. Emotions such as anxiety, frustration, a lack of trust towards the chastiser, animosity towards those who got them told off (often children or other dogs) & fear of the unknown!

Because they are unsure of what just happened, why it happened but mostly how to stop it happening again and all this time the dog is wagging their tail ... these are the most common elements which lead to further unwanted behaviour.

Dog psychology should always be the first focus when attempting to alter behaviour. By directly stopping the behaviour we can often confuse or suppress the underlying emotions, which will often resurface later as a more serious or unpredictable behaviour.

Using specific science-based methods we can help you to change negative psychology (dictating negative behaviour) into more positive psychology (creating positive behaviour) and then simply clarify any questions your dog may have.

We will help you to understand your dog individually, so you can come to recognise how your dog is feeling through specific visual language your dog uses to communicate with others. This language is also use by a dog, highlighting their emotions, without specificly recognising they are using it, which helps us recognise how they are feeling most of the time.

Understanding this knowledge combined with the specific training methods we can help keep a positive emotion in both our dogs and ourselves. I'm sure you will show your happiness on the outside and dogs are no different. Three out of the four dogs in the photo accompanying this post are smiling, the fourthe is happy to sniff the air.

If you have any questions about behaviour or you believe we might be able to help you further then please contact us directly on 07989473131.

Hope this helps

Step-up and have your say about what it means to be a responsible dog owner.

In 2024 more than 80% of dog owners in the UK believed they could correct identify their dogs body language, to recognise how their dog was feeling. Less than 25% correctly identified their dogs emotions.

In 2024 there were less than half a million people who kindly took the time to complete this survey, there are currently more than 15.5 million dogs in the UK.

In 2024 1 in 4 dogs were admitted to vets for dog bites, this statistic alone should ring alarm bells. Do you know how many children are admitted to hospital each year after being injured by a dog?

If more information isn't collected about the good these dogs do, and how responsible we are as dog owners then the Government will simply ban more breeds.

Take the survey and we can gain a better understanding of where we as dog owners are falling short, so we can do something about it before the government feel the need to step in.

The nation's dogs need you! National Dog Survey 2026 | Dogs Trust We're calling on all dog lovers to be part of the UK's biggest dog survey and help us make the world a better place for our four-legged friends. Have your say!

Why does a dog suddenly stop listening?

There are various causes of this type of behaviour, all relevant to emotions, which is often highlighted by what happens before, during and after the behaviour.

Even a well trained dog can start showing this type of behaviour, which is usually caused by a build up of adrenaline, that is often relevant to the environment the dog is in, but this often starts before the dog has left the home.

It is recommended that you have the dog assessed by a canine behaviourist, that will be able to correctly identify where the specific emotions stem from, that dictated the behaviour and offer the correct method to help reduce the confusion, frustration, anxiety or fear, that causes the specific thought and feelings, dictating the various types of behaviours. Which may seem similar but the cause will often differ.

Hope this helps
