Our dogs can give us purpose, they provide us with opportunities to be present, and so much more. While in this episode we're talking about how training our dogs, enjoying our dogs and spending time with our dogs can improve our mental health, we also touch on how our dogs can do quite the opposite. Going out for a walk with our dogs, going out on the beach, on an off-lead (or on-lead) walk and being in the moment can provide us with such an amazing outlet that will give us an optimism boost, and a mental health boost. Playing games, focusing on the fun and laughter, can bring us out of darker moments where we're struggling. How does your dog help you enjoy more experiences, experiences you may not have enjoyed without that dog in your life? If you have a dog that tests you, what can you do to overcome what could be a broken relationship and unlock the ultimate real-life results?

Jasper may not be with us physically, but, as Michelle, his incredible (and just as tenacious) owner, shares, he is still here in so many ways. Join us in a celebration of everything he brought into her life, including an unexpected, and yet entirely fateful, journey from Bermuda to the UK so that he could become the ultimate teacher, not just for Michelle, but for the world. Michelle reflects on the beginning of their journey together, as well as how she has discovered a new perspective, and a new appreciation. Jasper’s memory continues to push her in new directions. We know, without a doubt, that he will continue to inspire the world through the power of games, as Jasper X, the NBN dog that gave so many dog owners in so many countries hope that their dog could be their very best version of themselves, too, just like Jasper.

Join Lauren and the Police Dog Handler, Dave Wardell in this very emotional and heart-wrenching episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast as we share the tale of the horrific turn of events in 2016 where Dave's best mate, the heroic German Shepard Finn (a General Purpose Police Dog), puts his own life on the line to take down a criminal AND save his dad's life in the process! Throughout this terrifying and unbelievable journey we learn how Finn overcomes his traumatic injuries to live a life full of heroic achievements, pure awesomeness and so many truly, truly amazing wins! Have your tissues ready, this is a story of a once in a lifetime Police Dog and his Handler and how pure canine instinct, an unbreakable dog-handler bond and the most unlucky, traumatic event can rally the immense support of a national community to bring about a law to make it harder for those who harm service animals to claim they were acting in self-defence. Finn's Law now gives power to prosecute more severely those who injure service animals such as police horses, and police dogs just like Finn!

Fireworks are an oddity for dogs (and most animals). They’re loud, they’re booming, they light up the sky spontaneously and a lot of dogs are caught off guard by the noise and vibrations. If your dog is frightened by loud noises such as fireworks, don’t panic! The good news is you know they are coming, so now is the time to prepare for them. So just how can you help your dog through a night of fireworks? Here are our top tips! Download the Taking the Fear Out of Fireworks eBook! It’s FREE! Control the controllable! You'll be able to guide and help your dog through the fireworks season far more effectively by focusing on setting them up for success, rather than getting stressed, depressed or angry about the presence of fireworks in the world. Guard your dog's optimism! Fireworks and loud noises are downright terrifying for ANY dog, even if they seem to be okay around loud noises right now. One negative experience is all they need for "okay" to become "worried", "scared" or "totally terrified" so it's important to not only grow your dog's optimism and confidence through games, but it's equally as important to fiercely guard their optimism by setting them up for success whenever fireworks or loud noises might be near. Some of our optimism-guarding tips are:

Spring is in the air in the UK and the northern hemisphere, so that means it's time to consider ticks, bugs, worms, fleas and all the creepy crawlies that are on their way!

| 06 Jun 2023 | Conversations with Your Dog: Learn the Secrets of Canine Body Language! | 00:18:38 | |
In this awesome episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, Lauren and Tom are diving into a hugely popular topic – that’s right, we’re talking canine body language! Have you ever wondered what your dog is trying to tell you? Whether they are sending you secret messages and signals as you go through life together? All too often owners find themselves saying they had "no warning" or they "didn't see it coming" when their dog reacts in a particular situation. The reality is, our dogs are communicating with us every single moment of the day – they are speaking all the time, even shouting for us to understand them – and yet, canine body language, their cues and their attempts to communicate with us are often misread and misunderstood! In this super episode, Tom and Lauren are diving into their topmost tips, tricks, advice and thoughts on canine body language - and how we as owners and pet parents can level up our understanding of our dogs so that we can truly listen when they speak to us! Here's a sneak peek at what you'll find in this episode: - Why it's important to be your dog's best advocate by not forcing them into situations that make them uncomfortable, reactive or worried (from walks to greeting strangers, dog-dog interactions, socialisation and more)! - Why your dog doesn't always know best when it comes to putting themselves into situations when they are unsure or don't have the skills to cope with – even if they appear to want to investigate! - Why you'll never actually know exactly what emotions your dog is feeling and why calmness (and confidence) are the KEYS to success for any dog! - Why socialisation is not what you think it is and how careful exposure and guarding your dog's confidence and optimism is far better than overexposure to the wrong things!
