Sophie adores you both but she has a very "special relationship" with her mam. ☺️💕

Dogs don't need firm leadership. They need consistent reinforcement for the behaviours we want repeated. Building value for walking nearby. Please, as an influencer, don't give currency to discredited ideas that are harmful in wrong hands

Maybe you need to get up to speed with Sophie’s story

benfranklinskite.bsky.social•73 days ago

I have followed her story since the start. And I know she had an R+ trainer as advisor. A traumatised rescue dog needs and deserves confidence building relationship based training

rorycj.bsky.social•73 days ago

That’s what she gets - please don’t mistake jokes about our arguments with #sophiefromromania over routes (she always wins anyway) with us suddenly adopting an old fashioned Barbara Wodehouse approach. @sociabledogtraining remains our guru

I'm so glad to hear that-- and honestly didn't expect anything else. But the harmful outdated ways of thinking are still so widely present that humour can be lost

I thought everyone knew that #sophiefromromania rules the Cellan-Jones-Coyle household 🤷‍♀️

eggalison.bsky.social•73 days ago

🙄 There's always one ...

womanwithahook.bsky.social•73 days ago

Oh dear. Are you new around here?

freyja3.bsky.social•73 days ago

Well done showing girl power The Prof 👏

Hmm, now I can’t choose which way to go Dad. 💕🐾🐾

I must admit I prefer "trusted" as it doesn't imply force. I'm sure that's what's here.

The abandoned shopping trolley in the background of the second photo made me laugh for some reason. Its so random. 🙂

gibbospurs.bsky.social•73 days ago

I had seen that...at least mine is not the only street that had that in the past few weeks...

jsewtz.bsky.social•73 days ago

Oh the joy of firm leadership. My dog treats me like a numpty, my partner as God.

mrs-g31.bsky.social•73 days ago

I know that feeling very well too..until I'm eating cheese🤔

honeybeesliz.bsky.social•73 days ago

I have the same problem although the dog does view me as the ‘food queen’!

freyja3.bsky.social•73 days ago

😂

Always a joy to see Sophie (and the prof, of course)

deborahobrien.bsky.social•73 days ago

Sometimes I notice that Sophie doesn’t walk on the crack in the sidewalk. As children we played a game of don’t walk on a crack cuz you break your mudder’s back. Does anyone else notice? Maybe @sociabledog.bsky.social will know if dogs are afraid to walk on the sidewalk cracks?
