This applies to dogs (and all animals) as well. When they feel safe they become less vigilant, engage more with their surroundings in a relaxed way (eg. sniffing), allow themselves to relax and play, and are able to process information better, make better decisions and learn.

Adolescence can be tough. But it's not forever. Being flexible with routines, adapting the environment to better suit your adolescent's brain and body, and making small changes to the way you do things can all really help! 🥰🐾💜

Love this! 🥰 You can read the very interesting article by Sally, it's linked in the contents of the original post. 👌🐾💜

Every time your dog looks at you and finds you calm, finds you present, finds you available, something strengthens between you.

Every time you honour their need to look away, to manage independently, to take their time, trust deepens.

This is how we build relationships that truly support emotional wellness, not through commands and compliance, but through understanding and presence.

I love these charts! 👌 The reproductive hormones are actually super important for lots of things beside reproduction. Removing them can cause all kinds of problems. But a gonad-sparing neuter leaves the hormones intact, while removing the possibility of pregnancy, allowing those hormones to continue their very important work. 👍🐾💜

Holbeck Clock Tower standing proud above Scarborough’s South Bay — a lovely mix of seaside charm, Edwardian architecture, and that big sweeping coastline that always looks the part from above. The tower was originally built in the early 1900s as part of Holbeck Gardens, a time when Scarborough was booming as a fashionable resort and everything from bandstands to promenades was designed to impress.

From this height you get the full curve of the bay, the Grand Hotel off in the distance, and the headland crowned by Scarborough Castle. It’s one of those views that reminds you why generations have holidayed here — long beaches, big skies, and a town that wraps itself around the sea. A classic Yorkshire coastline scene.
