When Behaviour Spirals – And What to Do About It
You didn’t mean for it to go this way.
You brought your dog home full of excitement, dreams of country walks and a well-behaved companion trotting at your side. But life happened – maybe puppy classes never got booked, or maybe you thought you’d "do a bit of training at home" and never quite kept up with it. Things were mostly fine… until they weren’t.
At first, it was just the odd bit of bad behaviour.
A little bit of pulling on the lead.
The occasional bark at another dog.
A cheeky jump up at visitors.
But slowly, subtly, things began to spiral.
You found yourself dreading walks because your dog pulls so hard your arm aches. You stop visiting busy parks to avoid embarrassment when your dog won’t listen. You feel guilty as your once happy dog becomes more frustrated and under-stimulated – which, of course, only makes the behaviour worse.
One morning you wake up and think:
**“How did it get this bad?”**
**“Why didn’t I do something sooner?”**
**“Is it too late?”**
The shame kicks in.
You start believing thoughts like:
“They're too bad to take to a class.”
“What will other people think?”
“I’m a terrible dog parent.”
Let’s pause right there. Because if that’s where you’re at right now, we want you to know something:
