Dog training methods range broadly from those using mostly positive punishment and negative reinforcement (aversive-based) to those using primarily positive reinforcement (reward-based).

We had an exciting day at Staffordshire Showground yesterday. Lana and I went to the Houndshow dog show at Staffordshire Showground yesterday. At the same time, UK Sighthound Sport were running a trial and also a 'have a go' session of Lure Coursing, so we had a go! Lana loved every second, I was so proud of her, she ran beautifully and had fun. The team at UKSS were all so lovely and helpful.

But before she sprinted off, we did a proper warm-up.

As a physio, I know how important it is to prepare the body for fast movement. Just like us, dogs need to warm up to help:
🧡 Reduce injury risk
🧡 Improve coordination
🧡 Support smooth recovery

Think: slow walking, gentle turns, some trotting and some body awareness work.

It doesn’t take long to do, 5-10 minutes, but it makes a huge difference.

Want to know how to warm up your dog safely? 🐕‍🦺 Send me a message—I’m always happy to help!

TTouch has gifted me so much. Thank you Linda Tellington-Jones and Robyn Hood, as well as the other instructors. The ethos that is at the centre of TTouch a dog centred approach, their needs being the most important part of what we do with them. If something is too difficult for them, we chunk it down, we make part of it easier, we understand and listen to them, holding a conversation rather than a one way monologue❤

In today's busy world, the power of pausing and stillness can't be overestimated.

So today, pause, take a moment, or five and spend some time with your dog or horse or cat, sitting quietly and breath deeply together to create that special connection.

🐾 Did you know there are over 20 different TTouches, the light movements we make on a dogs' skin?
Each one is designed to support your dog’s comfort, confidence and calm — and the Clouded Leopard is one of the most gentle and well-loved touches to begin with.

It's not about pressure. It’s about connection.❤❤❤
