Does your dog bolt out of the room the moment the hoover comes out? Or maybe they bark like it’s a fire-breathing monster that’s about to take over the house? If so, you’re not alone, and you’re definitely not a bad dog parent.
In this week’s Paws and Pawsitivity episode, certified dog trainer Jamie Watkinson-Harvey shares his expert, force-free approach to helping noise-sensitive dogs feel calm and safe at home. From gentle desensitisation and safety signals to creating secure spaces and handling different personalities (like Reggie, who sleeps through vacuuming, versus Penny, who sees it as her sworn enemy), Jamie covers it all with empathy, humour, and solid science.
You’ll learn:
- Why so many dogs are scared of the hoover
- How to begin desensitisation the kind way
- Simple, practical tips to help your dog feel more secure during noisy moments
- How to support barking dogs without punishment
🎧 Tune in to hear real-life examples from Jamie’s own dogs and walk away with practical tools to help your pup feel more at ease, because every dog deserves to feel safe in their own home.
