A pet is never truly forgotten until it is no longer remembered and I will always remember you, Pedro my first dog. I am trying not to cry because it is over, I am trying to smile because of how happy you made me.

Happy National Dog Month! 🐶🥰♥️ I find it very appropriate that the month of May is not just mental health awareness month but also national dog month. every dog owner will tell you that owning a dog affects their mental health and a positive way. It is the reason why so many people say they have a emotional support dog. In my book, every dog is an emotional support dog. #nationaldogmonth #doglover #bestbuds #aboyandhisdog #puppylove #dogfamily🐶❤️ #mentalhealthawarenessmonth💚 #emotionalsupportanimal #mentalhealthmatters💚 #dogsandmentalhealth

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month As I navigate the rollercoaster that is life, with its peaks of joy and valleys of challenges, I’ve found an unwavering support system on four legs. 🐾 Yes, my furry friends have been my rock, providing comfort, laughter, and a kind of love that’s as pure as it gets. They’ve been my therapists, my confidantes, and my cheerleaders, helping me maintain my mental health through thick and thin. 💖 Being a mom, especially to a teen who’s on the verge of adulthood, is the most rewarding yet challenging role I’ve ever taken on. It’s a journey filled with worry, pride, and endless love. And let’s not forget about juggling this with being a business owner! But somehow, with a lick here and a wag there, my dogs help me keep it all together. They remind me to pause, breathe, and cherish the simple moments. #MomLife #DogMom #FamilyIsEverything #MentalHealthWarrior #dvsurvivor #azdogphotographer #goodvibesdogtography #mentalhealthawarenessmonth2024 #dogsandmentalhealth #yourenotalone

Meet another one of our cherished employees- Grover! Grover showed up at our office one day looking for work. What a natural! His first order of business was walking clients to and from their cars. In the middle of his busy day, he decided that Adam Heckmann needed to be rescued and so the rest is history. He (Grover, not Adam) is currently going through obedience training and is doing well. In the meantime, he can be spotted helping Adam with his notes, keeping staff awake during meetings, or simply putting a smile on the face of anyone he meets. #grovehealingcollective, #dogsofinstagram, #ichoosewheniwork, #employeeandfriend, #dogsandmentalhealth

So I can’t let cats get all the credit (see earlier post on the grid 🐈)! Dogs do absolute wonders for our mental health and to top it all… need to be walked! Twice a day in the fresh air! So they even help you get those all important steps in. This one has definitely got me through some dark days and makes sure I get out of bed and out of the house every single day 🐶❤️ Gemma x #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #dogsofinstagram #dogsandmentalhealth #womensmentalhealth #walkingformentalhealth #walkingforhealth

The 21st Century Dog … Simply put, think about how controlled a dogs life is unless they are well trained. Think about how domesticated they have become. Think about how humans treat them like babies or accessories. Think about how they aren’t given what they are needed or provided the right activity for them to feel happy & healthy. Think about how they get scolded for the having natural instincts or energy that we as their owners do nothing about. Think about how we get frustrated with them for not listening to a language they don’t even understand! Please treat your dog with kindness, with compassion and loyalty. Let them be a dog in the safest way you can! Give them outlets for their drive! They are who you guide them to be. . . . . . . . #davidattenborough #adogslife #21stcentury #bealeader #guidance #mississaugadogtraining #domesticated #adoptdontshop #mississauga #dogsofinstagram #photooftheday #dogtraining #dogwalker #dogsandmentalhealth #give #outlets #dogreactivity #pawsitivechoicesdogservices

Just another muddy Monday 🐾🎶 Have you ever experienced one of those weekends that feels almost flawless, brimming with everything you craved? We celebrated my nephew's 5th birthday, enjoyed an overnight stay with our niece, caught up with friends and family, and had plenty of downtime! Managed to squeeze in a couple of hikes, one of which was in a magical winter wonderland! Feeling fully recharged and geared up for the week ahead 💙 ⁉️ How was your weekend? __________________________________ #muddyhusky #ballislife #dogsandmentalhealth #doglife #519dogs #petphotography #husky #northernrescue #siberianhusky #siberianhuskyworld #redhuskyblueeyes #redhuskynation #petstagram #dogsofinstagram #canadiandogs

Beef Bowl 🥩 and Kiwi 🦝 They are such good boys. They can drive me crazy sometimes and I can get fixated on little behaviors I don’t like but they’re genuinely such good dogs. I’m so grateful for them. Sometimes I need a perspective change, like regular-non-serious-dog-people blown away by how well behaved Trout is. Or being around a dog that’s Truly a pain in the ass to see how good we have it with our dogs. Also I realized while Dogsitting that the teenage phase is in fact no where near as bad as the puppy phase . . . #troutthebordercollie #troutthedog #bordercollie #akcbordercollie #akc #cattledogmix #heelermix #chihuahuamix #rescuedog #rescuemutt #fakegsp #fakegspsofinstagram #sdit #servicedog #servicedogintraining #blacktri #tricolor #dogsandmentalhealth

🐾Me and Him🐾 This is me, Emma and one of my reasons to want to set up The Cambridge Pet Nanny. To delve deeper into canine’s and their behaviour, Tadhg. Tadhg is my first dog and his name comes from a family member, and my love of my second home, in Ireland. Our relationship and bond has grown each day. Being my first dog, I was nervous about how to approach him and ‘getting it right’. But over time, I’ve began to realise that it doesn’t matter how or being perfect. He’s taught me that I don’t have to be this perfect guardian. All that does it put pressure on myself and also on him. I hope to continue to learn from him and from the other dogs that are in my care #sundayreflections #selfreflection #dogsofinstagram #dogtraining #mydoglove #dogcarer #dogsandmentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #irish #cambridge #dogsincambridge #cavalierkingcharlesspaniel #lucyandlolashop 🏷️ Embroidered Sweater @thelucyandlolashop size XL

I've seen these posts so many times before and always dreaded the moment it would be my turn to write one. On the 30th of January I said goodbye to my souldog. For the last 10 years, she has been with me through the best and worst of times. My constant companion nearly made it to 15, not bad for a dog that arrived from dogs' trust with health issues. After being rescued, Connie had the best of everything, from stealing KitKats to chasing rabbits in her favourite wentbridge garden. Her life has been charmed. No words on this page could describe my love for her. Now there's a big empty space in my heart and my home. I was so lucky to rescue and be rescued by the perfect dog. After one final chase of the postman, she passed peacefully, eating and surrounded by love. I can't let this post pass without saying a few thank-yous to the people who have loved her and helped me care for her along the way. Dogs Trust for giving me the perfect dog. The Dad that rescued her with me, family that played with her happily and friends that fed her constantly. Mandy and Sarah who loved her no matter how badly behaved. Henry who played football with her, Lauren who fed and spoiled her, The Italian who was always willing to share a chip and Michelle who's photos that meant so much. And thank you to my work colleagues for their continued support. Connie wasn't a typical Lab and didn't love everybody, but the people that she did love she loved with her whole heart. But the greatest thank you of all goes to Connie's grandparents because without them, her life would have been less in every way, and I would never have managed since becoming single. I could never thank you enough. Thank you to all our followers, In Connie's memory I will continue to repost for our rescue family and always be proud that Connie's page has found homes for several different dogs. After all, #thebestthingsinlifearerescued Emma #dogsandmentalhealth #dogstrust #dogstrustloughborough #rescueismyfavoritebreed #rescuedogsrule #dontshopadopt

✨ Standards Vs. Goals 🐾 Whether it’s their happy tails, empathetic eyes, or unconditional love, dogs have a remarkable ability to uplift our spirits and bring joy to our lives. They also can bring a lot of stress, particularly when they are still bitey sharks, or their hormones are going bonkers. 🚀So let’s talk about setting standards instead of just goals. Why? Because standards are not merely a destination; they’re a way of life. When we set a standard for ourselves, we commit to a continuous journey of growth, learning, and positive habits. 🐾 Rather than focusing solely on achieving specific milestones in your training, consider the everyday standards you want to uphold. Is it patience, consistency, or creating a bond built on trust? Embracing these standards allows for a more fulfilling and sustainable relationship. So, here’s to our four-legged therapists, and closest confidants – thank you for being our daily dose of happiness! 🌟🐕 Do you have any daily standards? I’d love to hear below! . . .

| Jahreswechsel. „Erst am Ende eines Jahres weiß man, wie sein Anfang war.“ – Friedrich Nietzsche Die Zeit um den Jahreswechsel bietet sich an, um Bilanz zu ziehen. Das mache ich auch gerne in der Psychotherapie mit den Patient*innen. Ein Blick auf das vergangene Jahr lohnt sich auf vielerlei Ebenen: ✨ Anerkennen, was war: Was habe ich im vergangenen Jahr erreicht? Was waren schöne Momente oder Meilensteine? Was waren schwierige Situationen oder Krisen, die ich bewältigt habe? Was habe ich gelernt? Worauf bin ich stolz? Was möchte ich bewusst hinter mir lassen? ✨ Feststellen, was ist: Wo stehe ich gerade in Bezug auf meine (Lebens-)Ziele? Wie sehr handle und lebe ich aktuell nach meinen Werten? Welche Ziele sind hinzugekommen, welche eher in den Hintergrund gerückt? Wie geht es mir damit? ✨ Visualisieren, was sein soll: Was steht nächstes Jahr an? Was nehme ich aus den Erfahrungen des vergangenen Jahres mit, um kommende Herausforderungen zu meistern? Was möchte ich genau so beibehalten? Was möchte ich ändern? Nichtsdestotrotz versuche ich, dem Jahreswechsel nicht zu viel Bedeutung beizumessen und mich nicht von der ganzen „Silvester-Neujahr-magischer-Moment-und-Neuanfang“-Stimmung anstecken zu lassen. Stattdessen nutze ich die Zeit für mich und ausgiebige Spaziergänge mit Merlin. Denn: Wir haben nicht nur Ende Dezember, sondern jeden Tag Gelegenheit, eine Bestandsaufnahme zu machen, heute Dinge zu verändern, die wir im Gestern nicht mochten und so unser Morgen zu gestalten. Es ist nie zu spät dafür, die Weichen zu stellen, um glücklich zu sein. Wir können damit jederzeit beginnen – an jedem Tag, sogar hier und jetzt, in diesem Moment. In diesem Sinne wünschen wir euch im neuen Jahr viele Glücksmomente, Zufriedenheit, Gesundheit und, dass ihr eure Wünsche, Träume und Ziele und vor allem euch selbst stets im Blick behaltet. #jahreswechsel #byebye2023 #hello2024 #quoteoftheweek #bestandsaufnahme #ziele #werte #zukunft #merlinstherapiestube #dachshund #dackel #dogsofinstagram #dogsandmentalhealth #mentalegesundheit #wohlbefinden #zufriedenheit #gesundheit #achtsamkeit #selbstfürsorge #glücksmomente #psychotherapie #mentalhealthmatters #bekindtoyourmind

| Weihnachten. ✨ Alle Jahre wieder, wenn die Nächte lang und die Tage kurz sind, es draußen kalt ist und früh dunkel, und sich das Jahr dem Ende neigt; wenn wir im Kreise unserer Allerliebsten eng zusammenrücken, besinnlich Zeit verbringen an einem Ort, der für uns Heimat ist; wenn überall Lichter unsere staunenden Blicke einfangen, ein ganz besonderer Duft in der Luft liegt; wenn Alltag und Hektik eine Pause einlegen und die Welt kurz den Atem anzuhalten scheint – dann, ja, dann ist Weihnachten. Wir wünschen euch und euren Lieben von Herzen ein wunderbares Weihnachtsfest, das euch und eurer Seele guttut. #weihnachten #christmastree #weihnachtsdackel #glücksmomente #bekindtoyourmind #merlinstherapiestube #dogsofinstagram #dogsandmentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters

🐾 Dogs: Our Furry Mental Health Allies 🐾 Let's paws 🐾 for a moment to appreciate our canine companions for more than just their wagging tails and adorable faces. Dogs aren't just pets; they're incredible allies in supporting our mental well-being! Here's how: 1️⃣ Unconditional Love: Dogs have an unparalleled ability to offer unconditional love and support.

| Warten. Es ist so weit: Der erste Advent ist da und läutet offiziell die Vorweihnachtszeit ein. Viel Brauchtum hat sich im Laufe der Jahre entwickelt, mit dem sich die Wartezeit auf Weihnachten gestalten lässt: Mit Adventskalender, Adventskranz und Co. sind die vier Wochen vor Weihnachten schon ganz ordentlich durchstrukturiert – und durch Vorbereitung, Planung, Weihnachtsfeiern, Weihnachtsmärkte und sonstige Termine vergehen sie im Flug, sodass von bewusstem „Warten“ gar nicht mehr so wirklich die Rede sein kann. Dabei kann Warten etwas richtig Schönes sein. Denn: Wartezeiten sind Zeitinseln, die… ⏳ den Alltag entzerren, ⏳ einen Moment zum Innehalten bieten und ⏳ uns damit Gelegenheit geben, wahrzunehmen, was auch immer gerade im Innen und Außen los ist. Merlin, der seine Bewertungen nicht gezielt reflektieren kann, fällt Warten übrigens überhaupt nicht leicht. Das ist also etwas, was wir aktuell häufig gezielt üben. Wie sieht es bei euch aus – habt ihr Warten schon einmal differenziert betrachtet? Könnt ihr Wartezeiten in eurem Alltag etwas abgewinnen, oder fällt das Warten euch ebenso schwer wie unserem kleinen Dackel? #selfcaresunday #warten #advent #merlinstherapiestube #umbewerten #kognitiveumstrukturierung #dachshund #dackel #hundegestütztetherapie #dogsofinstagram #dogsandmentalhealth #mentalegesundheit #wohlbefinden #zufriedenheit #entspannung #achtsamkeit #selbstfürsorge #psychologie #stressmanagement #mentalhealthmatters #bekindtoyourmind

Henry just adores his soccer ball. I love how innocent and sweet he is. This morning I was crying on the couch and he came over looked me in the eyes and licked my tears away. His such a sweetheart and I’m so glad to have him in our lives as this is such a tough world we live in full of hurt and disappointment. #minischnauzers #dogsmakeeverythingbetter #dogsandmentalhealth

✨mental health & dogs ✨ i’m thankful for dogs. more specifically, i’m thankful for my dog. there are so many times when i feel depressed or anxious, and he does something that makes me laugh or smile. or when i force him to cuddle with me (lol) and it helps me feel better. when it’s hard sometimes to take care of myself, it’s rewarding to take care of him. there’s just something about the companionship of dogs and how they help ease the burden of heavy feelings. i will always be thankful for my little buddy, and the joy-filled moments he brings to my life. 🤍

It’s well known that pets, especially dogs and cats, are great for helping reduce stress and can help people who suffer from depression. But did you know petting a dog or cat actually decreases the stress hormone cortisol? This helps decrease your blood pressure and overall helps you feel less stressed. Dogs also help keep us in a routine as we have to get up to feed them, they help us increase our Vitamin D and exercise as they like a good walk. 📸 Picture of Monty enjoying one of our walks in the autumn sunshine #dogsandmentalhealth #dogsandmentalwellbeing #cortisol #catsandmentalwellness

| Happy Halloween. 🎃 Habt ihr schon einmal vom Begriff der „Freizeitangst („Recreational fear“) gehört? Sie beschreibt das freiwillige Aufsuchen von mit Angst assoziierten Situationen zum persönlichen Vergnügen, z. B. das Anschauen von gruseligen Filmen. Eine Forschergruppe in Dänemark ( @recfearlab ) beschäftigt sich gezielt mit diesem Phänomen und der Frage, warum Menschen sich bereitwillig der Emotion Angst aussetzen, die uns evolutionär vor Gefahren warnen soll und damit eher negativ assoziiert ist. Einer der wesentlichen Faktoren, um Spaß an Horror und der damit verbundenen Angst haben zu können, ist die psychologische Distanz – wir denken oder imaginieren uns zwar in das Geschehen hinein, wissen aber letztlich, dass es keine reale Bedrohung gibt. Das unterscheidet „Recreational Fear“ von „realen“ Ängsten im engeren Sinne. Die Forschenden im Recreational Fear Lab fanden zudem, dass die Horror-Aktivitäten für verschiedene Typen von Horror-Fans einen unterschiedlichen Nutzen bergen: Den einen dienen sie als Stimmungsaufheller. Die anderen nutzen sie als Chance für persönliche Entwicklung, bei der sie in einem „geschützten Rahmen“ Erfahrungen zu ihrem Umgang mit Angst sammeln und an ihren Bewältigungsfähigkeiten arbeiten können. Mögt ihr eigentlich Horrorfilme? Und wie verbringt ihr Halloween? Merlin ist heute Firmenhund und als „Flederdackel“ bei der Halloweenparty am Start. #whenfearisfun #recreationalfear #halloween #merlinstherapiestube #dachshund #dackel #hundegestütztetherapie #dogsofinstagram #dogsandmentalhealth #mentalegesundheit #angst #angstbewältigung #psychologie #stressmanagement #mentalhealthmatters #bekindtoyourmind

| Achtsamkeit. „Achtsamkeit ist ein Weg, wie wir uns mit uns selbst und unserer Erfahrung anfreunden können.“ – Jon Kabat-Zinn Achtsamkeit bedeutet, mit der Aufmerksamkeit ganz bewusst im Hier und Jetzt zu sein – offen für all das, was gerade im Innen und im Außen da ist. Achtsamkeit ist eine akzeptierende, nicht wertende Haltung gegenüber unseren Gedanken, Gefühlen und Empfindungen im gegenwärtigen Moment. Wenn wir achtsam sind, nehmen wir wahr, ohne zu bewerten. Dies verhilft uns beispielsweise zu… 🍁 …mehr Bewusstsein über unseren aktuellen Zustand 🍁 …mehr Abstand zu automatischen Gedanken und Grübeleien und damit mehr Freiheit für bewusstes Handeln 🍁 …weniger Widerstand (und damit weniger unnötiges Leid) durch Akzeptanz gegenüber all jenem, was unveränderlich ist Wegen ihrer positiven Effekte hat Achtsamkeit, die ursprünglich der buddhistischen Lehre entstammt, mittlerweile als Baustein auch Einzug in die moderne westliche Psychotherapie gehalten. #achtsamkeit #akzeptanz #selfcaresunday #merlinstherapiestube #dachshund #dackel #hundegestütztetherapie #dogsofinstagram #dogsandmentalhealth #mentalegesundheit #wohlbefinden #zufriedenheit #entspannung #selbstfürsorge #psychologie #psychotherapie #stressmanagement #mentalhealthmatters #bekindtoyourmind

Hoomum and I went on an adventure! It started drizzling as we set off in the car.... however it soon poured it down!! Swipe to see me as a soggy doggy, I curled up to sleep in the end for the journey back home. We had fun though!! Wearing my @dottylottieshop firecracker harness, it has a handle on the back, so Mum finds this great to hold when we go clambering up hills and she's scared i will slip. In the car I have my @henry_wag towel from @petoftheearth and travel car mat from @wooof.co.uk Mum always has her @cathkidston backpack with her too!
