Hiding resentment I have been struggling with too many balls in the air lately, which leads me to procrastinate. I spend time worrying about how much I have to do rather than doing anything about it. One of the things I had been worrying about is my time with the dogs. They need to be…
Overwhelm – how it can creep up on us Reading the latest Psychologies Magazine (December 2018), I was drawn to the self-analysis quiz – ‘What’s the Root Cause of your Overwhelm?’ Answering the multiple choice questions I found I scored highest on ‘Perfectionism’. Reading through the other 3 categories I could just have easily identified…
IntroductionThis is a short description of some of the work I have been doing with my own dogs, studying dogs and human emotions. The work has involved fellow therapists studying the relationship between our emotions and the dogs’ behaviour. BackgroundI had started to notice that my hounds were sensitive to my emotions.

Recently we returned from a session of ‘pushing for food’ where I felt we were making progress. I opened the van…
I have been following the Natural Dog Training methods for some weeks now. Mostly pushing for food, to encourage the dogs to invest their energy in me. Things have been going well and I have been enthusing about the process. Then last week we had, what appeared at first, to be a set-back.After pushing for…
