Hello and welcome to CanRich.
I'm Paula, and my goal is to support you and your canine companions. I firmly believe in using positive, reward-based methods that do not involve force, fear, dominance, or intimidation. Dogs thrive on kindness, and some may need gentle guidance to lead balanced and happy lives. With my help, you can enrich your dog's life by fostering mutual understanding. Through up-to-date, science-based techniques, we can strengthen the bond between you and your dog. Success lies in understanding your dog's communication and responding appropriately.
Most of canine communication relies on non-verbal cues and body language. Many behavioural problems stem from miscommunication and misunderstanding, as a significant portion of their signals are brief and easily missed. Your dog might be experiencing stress or anxiety, impacting their cognitive abilities and coping mechanisms. Concealing pain is an instinctual behaviour for dogs, as revealing weakness can render them vulnerable. If your dog is suddenly displaying unusual or aggressive behaviour, it could be indicative of pain, discomfort, fear, or anxiety.
NEVER IGNORE A GROWL... A growl serves as a means of communication from your dog. It's their way of conveying something, often preceded by subtle cues. Ignoring a growl may escalate to a bite in the future. Never scold a dog for growling; instead, consider seeking professional assistance.
Whether you're grappling with the challenges of puppyhood, welcoming a rescue into your home, or seeking to support an elderly dog experiencing cognitive dysfunction, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
