Every dog is unique, but their breed often holds the key to what truly fulfils them. Many problem behaviours come from unmet instinctual needs, not disobedience or stubbornness.
In this session, we’ll dive into how to recognise and meet your dog’s natural drives in safe, healthy, and enriching ways.
We’ll cover:
- Why “a tired dog is a happy dog” isn’t always true
- How to spot which instincts matter most for your dog’s breed (and personality)
- Safe, fun outlets for working breeds, sight hounds, scent hounds, and more
- Simple adjustments you can make at home to reduce frustration-driven behaviour
By the end, you’ll understand how to use your dog’s instincts with you, not against you, and build a life that works with their nature, not in conflict with it.
