🐕 3 things I do on EVERY dog walk to improve my dog’s behaviour 👇 A dog walk isn’t just about burning energy — it’s one of the best opportunities we have to practise calmness, focus and good behaviour in real-life situations. In this video, I’m sharing 3 simple things I build into every walk that can make a huge difference over time. They don’t require fancy equipment or hours of extra training — just consistency and a little intention. Save this for your next walk and give them a try 👀🐾 Which one are you going to start with?

Here’s something I actually see on a regular basis in the emergency room - so often that I can usually diagnose it just by looking at the dog from across the room. They’re wide-eyed, shaking, trembling and wobbling when they try to walk…and when I touch their shoulder, they practically hit the ceiling they're so startled. ​ ⚠️ Visual warning: I’ve linked a short video clip here that shows what this looks like in real life. It’s not easy to watch, but it’s important to recognise. This dog - if we can get treatment started early - should show improvement within a couple hours. ​ What you’re seeing is mycotoxin poisoning - usually from dogs raiding the bin (grabbing mouldy bread), or getting into the compost heap. It tends to show up more often in the autumn, when compost heaps are full of rotting fruit, veg, and garden waste. ​ What it looks like: - Sudden vomiting or diarrhoea - Muscle tremors, shaking, twitching - I mean like there's an earthquake inside their body - Overreactive to sound or touch - Wobbly walk, seizures in severe cases Signs can start within an hour or two of eating the mouldy food. ​ The good news: These days we have a treatment we can add to IV fluids that helps “mop up” the toxins. It’s been a real game changer and in my experience most dogs I see goes home the next day, none the wiser. The catch: But not every dog makes it. It depends on how much they ate and how fast you get to the vet. If you ever see your dog trembling like this after a bin raid, don’t sleep on it, it’s an emergency. ​ How to prevent it: - Keep rubbish bins sealed and compost heaps covered. - Be watchful on autumn walks near bins, picnic spots, or allotments. - Remember: dogs don’t see “mouldy bread.” They see “free buffet.” Best, Paul P.S. Don’t try home remedies for this one. If you suspect your dog’s eaten mouldy food and is trembling, call your vet straight away.
