Feeling they have choice is important for all animals and our dogs are no exception. We can give them choice where it is safe and make sure we listen to them. Check out Day 10! #choicefordogs #cooperativecare #bucketgame #adventcalendar #bothendsofthelead #dogsoftwitter

Taking time to relax and unwind ourselves will make us much more resilient to handle our dog’s reactivity. Check out Day 9! #relaxationforhumans #downtimeforhumans #deepbreathing #guidedmeditation #gratitude #reactivedogs #adventcalendar #advent #bothendsofthelead #dogsoftwitter

Helping our dog to relax and have downtime will support them to self calm and handle triggers more effectively. Check out Day 8! #relaxationfordogs #downtimefordogs #acefreework #ttouch #tellingtonttouch #earttouch #reactivedogs #adventcalendar #bothendsofthelead #dogsoftwitter

Wellness is just as important for us as it is for our dogs. If we want to be at our best to support our dogs we have to look after ourselves first. Check out Day 5! #selfcare #selflove #wellness #canineconfidence #reactivedogs #adventcalendar #bothendsofthelead #dogsoftwitter

[Janet Finlay @ttouchtrainer]

Resolving reactivity starts with physical and mental wellness - so how can we support wellness in our dogs? Check out Day 4! #wholedog #wellnessfordogs #canineconfidence #reactivedogs #adventcalendar #advent #bothendsofthelead #dogsoftwitter

[Janet Finlay @ttouchtrainer]

Our lives are often busier than our dogs. We can slow things down for us too and take time to reflect and just be. Check out Day 3! #slowdown #restandrelaxation #timetobe #canineconfidence #adventcalendar #advent #bothendsofthelead #reactivedogs #dogsoftwitter

[Janet Finlay @ttouchtrainer]

When we slow things down we give our dogs the chance to process rather than react. Check out Day 2 for more! #slowdown #wholedog #calmdog #reactivedog #canineconfidence #adventcalendar #advent #bothendsofthelead #dogsoftwitter

@MartinSLewis Does PPI interest count as income for the purposes of Self Employed Support Scheme? I am a sole trader and from last year also have a small pension so my income is roughly 60:40 self employed/pension. However, I also got PPI which makes SE just less than 50%! Thx

This is going to be excellent! Love Isla! https://t.co/SxQM672E00

Lovely to see Parkour being demonstrated at Crufts! This will give you some ideas of behaviours to train with everyday objects. https://t.co/5nY5tU4AKL

Proud aunt moment! Great job @OliverRidgway on being featured and your first year in (this) business. Anyone in the Birmingham area needing gardening services - look him up!

“I launched my own freelance gardening business. It was a new challenge, and studying with the RHS gave me the confidence to do it. I can't see myself regretting the decision to move into the field of horticulture."

Looking forward to catching up with Caroline while I am on my round the coast tour - and teaching this course in Cardiff. Still spaces - why not join us? You'll get to meet Martha and Otter too as they are on the tour with me! ;) https://t.co/puuITiHhyE

We will all be familiar with these feelings, so eloquently discussed by Jay Gurden. Feel honoured to get a mention in great company. :) Thanks to Patti Westmore for letting me know about this. https://t.co/zgvoMs7edG
