Our dogs are our loyal companions who offer us love, affection, and amusement. They provide us with endless entertainment, their tricks and hijinks are enough to put a smile on anybody’s face.

Do you have an Anxious Dog? Signs you Might Need a Dog Behaviourist

By

Dogs are emotional animals and can display an incredible range of different feelings. As any dog owner will tell you, our canine companions aren’t shy about expressing themselves. A wagging tail is the universally recognised sign of a happy dog (although some dogs can wag their tails while whining, barking, or even biting if they are scared or confused). However, an anxious dog can be more difficult to identify, but doing so is an essential skill for owners. 

Anxiety in dogs can often be treated at home. However, extreme cases may require professional intervention. Regardless, knowing how to spot the signs of an anxious dog is vital and is the first step towards ensuring your dog is healthy and happy. Let’s find out more.

Is it Ever too Late to Start Training a Dog?

We’ve all heard the saying ‘you can’t teach an old dog new tricks’. It’s an idiom that we use to describe anything or anyone who is resistant to or unwilling to change, be they human or canine. If you’re looking to start training a dog that’s getting on in years, this phrase could discourage you and lead you to believe that your efforts will be in vain. 

Is there any truth to this tired old cliché? Dogs are intelligent animals; can their age really impact their ability to learn and change their behaviour? Whether you have adopted an older dog or are looking to give your dog a refresher training course, we’ve put together a guide to help you out. 

Why is Dog Training Important?

Dogs are our trusted and loyal companions. They stick by us through thick and thin and offer us affection and unconditional love. Owning a dog can be a wonderful experience, but if your dog is improperly trained, things can quickly become a nightmare.
