Letters From Your Dog
Most of us bring a dog into our lives to enjoy adventures together and have an amazing relationship with our furry friends.
Sometimes life together can feel like a struggle though and we can end up feeling stressed or overwhelmed, or unsure how to best support or dogs.
Dr Holly Tett is a Clinical Psychologist for people and Animal Behaviourist for dogs. She fuses her knowledge of both ends of the lead to help you to better understand each other, overcome challenges and build a loving relationship together, using only kind methods and strategies.

Anxiety and the 4 Fs: Don't Ask Your Reactive Dog To Sit
We've all felt anxious or fearful many, many times during our lives and our dogs are no different. We're all hard wired to protect ourselves from perceived threats around us, however, the problem comes when our brain and body get confused and "protect" us against something that really means us no harm.
In this episode you'll hear:
- About the 4 Fs and how you can identify these in your dog and help them to feel better
- Why asking your dog to sit, down, or watch me when they are scared probably won't help them
- I also take you through one of my favourite training games, Apples, Oranges & Bananas. You can check this out here: https://app.searchie.io/watch/ZrDeE7J7DG
