"Dear nervous dog owner, I hear you and I'm here to help"- NEZ
You can tell they're uncomfortable, you see all the signs: lip licking, yawning, ears pinned back, tucked tail, cowering, avoidance...
(That's if you can even get them out of the house without a fuss)
Hell, they might even already be on anti-anxiety medication but there are no signs of improvement!
BUT...
You don't know where to start, everything you find online tells you to use "desensitisation methods", "counter-conditioning", or you're advised to put your dog on medication.
HOWEVER, you're not a dog trainer with years of handling experience and you might be doing the training WRONG. Plus, the medication is only a quick fix, it's not a long-term SOLUTION.
I have experienced it first-hand. I got a nervous puppy (a Border Collie x Kelpie😰). He was the smartest little thing I had ever seen BUT he was soooooo nervous.
I was frustrated, I didn't know how to help him. I searched online for answers but couldn't find any. I found so much information on medication for nervous dogs, complicated training methods and how you need to stick to a routine.
But... I could feel something was missing... the puzzle wasn't complete, the solutions I was reading about weren't enough.
I decided to study dog behaviour, fell in love with it and quit my science career to pursue dog training. I had such a better understanding of how dogs think and why they behave the way they do.
And it's not something that can be fixed with medication or complicated training techniques.
These are short-term solutions.
You see, with working with over 1000 clients and students, I saw the same common pattern. Dog is nervous, has tried medication and different training techniques, in vain.
But... The main reason why what they have tried failed is because they haven't worked on this specific thing.
THEY LACK CONFIDENCE AND RESILIENCE
Think about it:
Most Nervous Dogs lack Confidence. A confident dog doesn't feel the need to bark at the neighbours, a confident dog is happy to chill by your side at the cafe.
Nervous Dogs also lack Resilience. They lack the ability to cope with stress, they get easily overwhelmed.
Learning so much from my own nervous dog as well as working with over 400 nervous dogs, I have developed a recipe, designed to build your dog's Confidence and Resilience.
You're not a dog trainer with years of handling experience, but you can certainly follow a simple recipe and easy exercises that only require 15 mins/day.
Frustrated. You can't understand where your dog is coming from. You're willing to do anything to make her feel safe.
Worried. You don't want anything bad to happen to your dog. Stress puts a huge burden on his health.
Confused. You don't know where to start. The information you read is hard to apply, doesn't work or you're not sure if it's right for your dog.
Helpless. Everything you see online is general and you don't know who to turn to for help. No one seems to understand what you're going through.
Understand your dog and know exactly HOW to help them feel safe. Your dog now looks at you for guidance and is generally calmer and more chill.
Transform your nervous dog so they can live a longer, healthier life, without needing any calming medication.
Have a clear action plan with easy-to-follow exercises and get the guidance you need to successfully build your dog's confidence. You can now enjoy your walks again.
Be confident with your own skills and handling, in return your dog recovers from stressful events way faster.
My pup Miso and I were lucky enough to participate in the course. Miso is quite sensitive and is movement reactive (chases bikes/scooters) and also noise reactive (loud cars, kids, barking).
The course was easy to follow, flexible and catered to dogs on all levels of training. Nez was really supportive and always helped us find alternatives when something wasn’t working, completing the course has given us a good foundation on what we can continue to work on. Learned lots and Miso had so much fun doing it!
I just wanted to say thank you to you Nez! The course was very beneficial for us. While Luna can come across as a confident dog, she is, in fact, very sensitive. Any different behaviour, noise, would make her feel unsure and concerned. Having to expose her to different environments, noises, and challenges definitely helped us to improve her confidence and resilience. We will definitely continue to incorporate these exercises into her routine, as this is an ongoing process. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
Really happy I decided to do this course. Definitely beneficial for Jack. Thank you Nez. We will continue working on all the things we have learnt. Jack has come a long way.
