Help! My Dog: The Podcast. Dog Behaviour & Training Strategies that Work!

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!

Your dogs are brilliant on their own, so why does everything fall apart when they’re together?!

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. We’ll consider what these hidden influences might be and, more importantly, explore a few ways we can support them when they aren’t feeling their best!

Has your teenage dog forgotten everything that they once knew - including their own name!? This week, we’re exploring what adolescence really means for our dogs’ bodies and brains, as well as why this typically troublesome lifestage can actually be a valuable opportunity to level up your (and your dog’s) skills! While adolescence can inspire some funny and (often) embarrassing moments, it can also be a time of frustration and confusion, as our dogs may start displaying behaviours we’ve never seen before - from acting more stubborn than usual, to ignoring you completely! We’ll dive into some of the geeky science behind teenage behaviour change, before zooming in to think about some specific tips and tricks you can use when your dog seems to forget the skills and training they were experts at not so long ago. Remember - the teenage years aren’t forever. You’ve got this!
