Loved catching up with this cutey today! Not just because of how goddam adorable Louie is, but because I was blown away by how amazing his owner is doing after only two weeks! Louie's owner has taken to the training like a duck on water, following what I've implemented and really taking the time to understand Louie. By focusing hard on learning about Louie, his owner has already moved past what I would normally address in the follow up lesson, leaving us to tackle some really stimulating environments today. What a legend!
A very small snippet here as I prefer to be considerate of the people using public spaces. Louie is super dog social, you can see here how easily his owner was able to guide him with a little leash pressure. No biting, no pulling all over the place, no food. Just a nice walk along the busy esplanade with an 18 week puppy, just imagine what a pleasure he will be as an adult!

Tansy is now 8 months old, can you believe!?
We done a couple of private lessons at 8 weeks old, then a board and train almost 4 months ago.
This is an excellent example of what can be achieved when you take the time to understand the 'why' behind what I'm implementing for you and your pup. It's "easy" to just follow instructions, thats sadly what so many owners are looking for. They fail to consider that a puppy (or dog) is a sentient being, you can't put step by step instructions on something that has thoughts and feelings of its own. I often find the people who have this approach give up quickly, usually because it's "too hard", when really they just haven't taken the time to understand why, ultimately to understand the dog.
Tansy arrived yesterday, this video compilation was taken across today. I have purposely left the original audio instead of music, so you can hear what commands (or lack thereof) I'm giving Tansy. I'm not micro managing her, there's no need for "stay" "leave it" "wait". It's just not necessary when you build the dog on a healthy relationship, with the results being a dog that is excited to work for you and controls its own impulses. We didn't beat her into submission nor did we bribe her with treats. We communicated clearly, fairly and with purpose.

It's been a while since I last seen Koda for training, she's back for some holiday boarding. Of course, first thing I done was see how her obedience is π€ very happy to see her owner has been doing the homework!
Remember, the dog never lies π

Bailey is quite a fearful little pup. Some of this is genetic, but also what she was exposed to in her first few weeks of life is contributing too. This period of time, when a pup is with mum and littermates (up to 8 weeks old), is incredibly important. What a pup is exposed to will greatly shape how the genetics are played out.
But we can't change the past right? We can give Bailey the best goddam chance though, and that's exactly what her legendary owners are doing. We've been doing some private lessons to help guide her owners to give Bailey what she really needs, and boy are they doing just that! The positive difference in just a few weeks is heartwarming.
I recently took Bailey for an Overnight Plus, where the pup stays with me for a full day, overnight and morning, with a lesson at the end. During this time, I done tons of exposure work and environmentals. I kept it super low pressure, and allowed her to take everything in while also being there for her.
Here is a snippet of a few things we done. I send A LOT of videos to the owners of everything we do and explain why we're doing it. This way, they have personalised videos they can follow when they feel unsure of what to do.

Dodge and Millie playing, you're welcome β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
Top tip π§ Dodge has never been to the dog park or daycare, no puppy playdates or running around with lots of other dogs. Food for thought.

Look at that brain working β€οΈ
A quick recap on Bella's history. Bella broke her leg shortly after being brought home as an 8 week old puppy. Then broke another one days after the first one healed! The treatment meant she missed a large portion of her vital socialisation period. This lead to a range of behavioural issues.
While Bella 'knows' some obedience commands, she is unsure on how to tune in to the handler and listening to what is being asked, changing between positions etc. When she isn't clear of what is being asked, her go to is to offer her most known command (drop) or just do nothing at all. She lacks the confidence to even try.
It is essential for a dog like Bella to have complete trust in the handler to navigate the world. When she trusts her handler, she will be mindful of what the handler expects of her, thus building Bella's confidence and decision making skills. You can see how behaviour is incredibly complex; with clear communication, trust and confidence all deeply intertwined.
This video is by no means a finished product, but Bella is working so damn hard in it that I couldn't resist to share. Atta girl β€οΈ

This is what happens when you build value in yourself. Dusty is roughly 16 weeks old. Neither myself or my husband have toys or food.
That's not to say that I don't use food or toy rewards, more so that there are very efficient ways of using them β€οΈ
