But of a history lesson got anyone interested. I was interested! Worth a read… Our dogs' diversity can be traced back to the Stone Age

A new study suggests their physical transformation began much earlier than we previously thought.

Muzzles… they are awesome. If you use them correctly it gives you piece of mind and in chilling the humans out… lots of the angst around reactive dogs can start the process to improving things.

They not restraint. They’re safety for everyone.

Fresh feeding is always best for gut as well as behaviour. It’s all linked. 👌🐾

Sometimes we all need a reminder of why we feed fresh.

It’s not just a trend, it’s about giving our dogs food that supports their bodies the way nature intended.

✅ Fresh food has been shown to improve gut health and skin
✅ It can reduce inflammation and support long-term wellness
✅ Puppies started on fresh food are less likely to face chronic gut issues later in life

Feeding real food is about more than what’s in the bowl; it’s about giving our dogs the best shot at thriving.

Save this post for when you need that extra dose of motivation to keep going.

If someone asked you why you feed fresh, what’s the first thing you’d tell them?

I love this. Because it makes SENSE. the advice we give ourselves as human is MINIMALLY PROCESSED FOODS… Time for the dog world to catch up.

Hello you gorgeous bunch. Got some new followers so going to give you a little intro.

This is me. 👇 I’m Rachel. I love helping dogs overcome behaviour problems and I also love helping humans better understand their dogs. Those two things have to go together, and once they do, great things happen. It’s like magic ✨

I’m 45 (eek) I live with my gorgeous husband, two brilliant step daughters and one fabulously scruffy dog. I love horse riding when I get time to do it. I run. And I walk the dog. But other than that you’ll find me pottering around feeding plants, making nice dinners and doing other domestic jazz hands type things.

I’m a positive reinforcement force free holistic behaviourist. That just means I don’t need to punish a dog with pain to get results. (If you didn’t already know, lots do). I use games and channeling a dog’s needs and instincts to get them back on track. It’s not big hard stuff. It’s little tweaks that are easy to incorporate.

I’m also nutrition trained which is super handy because diet can change behaviour. I love that bit of my tool kit 😉🐾

If you’d like to work with me you’ll find all the info you need on my website www.thedogpsychologist.co.uk

Let’s make great things have together and bring your dogs down from chaos to calm. 👏🏻
