Walking the dog can be the best part of your day - but sometimes the dog has other ideas!

How many of you experience...
๐Ÿ‘‰ Pulling on the lead
๐Ÿ‘‰ Over excited by people, dogs, a leaf blowing by....
๐Ÿ‘‰ Not listening to recalls or cues even though they can do them perfectly at home?
๐Ÿ‘‰Barking, lunging, nervousness, being over friendly?
๐Ÿ‘‰ Fixation on the wildlife

You're not alone!

Training walks are a great way to work on less than ideal behaviours from your dog while out and about.

Choose from:
๐ŸŒฟ Secure Field Walks - These sessions are ideal to train the skills you and your dog needs without worrying about the world around you.

๐ŸŒฟ Urban Walks - A series of venues in and around the Ashby area for confidence and socialisation help and street walking.

๐ŸŒฟ Countryside Walks - Perfect if your dog struggles in open spaces and with wildlife!

๐ŸŒฟ Wood Walks - Want to be able to let your dog off in woodland without worrying or have a dog with strong prey drive? These sessions are held in secure woods to train your dog to be able to respond even in the most stimulating settings.

Train and walks are a great way to work on the skills you and your dog need in a range of settings.
โ€˜Littleโ€™ Micro is doing a series of them building her confidence around dogs and people and learning the world wonโ€™t end in busier places ๐Ÿ˜

She has done amazing on her sessions this week and her owners are developing their own confidence in being able to take her places and not just avoiding ๐Ÿ˜‡

Owning a โ€˜reactiveโ€™ dog can be draining and daunting.
But you are not alone and it doesn't have to be a lifetime of avoidance!

If you experience:

๐Ÿง Walking your dog at antisocial times to avoid other dogs and people

๐Ÿง Embarrassing episodes with other people or dogs

๐Ÿง Being held to a schedule to manage your dogs behaviour

๐Ÿง Being told โ€˜your dog is aggressiveโ€™

๐Ÿง Displays of anxiety and excess barking

Then this course is for you and your dog.

During the sessions we will:

โœ… Walk through a series of effective yet simple to implement exercises

โœ… Learn the theory and concepts behind your dogs behaviour

โœ… Practice these skills in a controlled environment

โœ… Support is provided throughout the duration of the course including work books that accompany each session.

โœ… Messenger group chats will enable each attendee to discuss and share progress, ask for advice and upload videos of their developments.

Expectations vs Reality!
Whenever we get a dog - whether a puppy, rehome or rescue, we have a view of how our life with our dog will pan out.

I love working breeds, (collies in particular!) and select dogs from lines that are predisposed to have the energy, drive and brains that will lead to a hopefully successful sports dog.

My dogs are not for the faint of heart, they donโ€™t necessarily make the easiest โ€˜pet lifeโ€™ dogs, although theyโ€™re actually very easy to live with in the home ๐Ÿฅฐ

The reality has been different however - both my two youngest have had physical issues that mean theyโ€™re not capable of doing the sport I had wanted to.
Both spent most of yesterday (and into this morning) having procedures that will hopefully give them some good quality of life - at least for a while.

Our new reality involves teaching the dogs to be ok having a quieter way of life then their initial training gave.
To be more confident and comfortable in more urban environments, to have shorter walks (well my version of ๐Ÿ˜) and be happy to do pretty boring rehab exercises most days.

If your expectation involved having a dog that was a confident social pub dog, or one that would float through life without paying attention to other dogs and small furry critters and thatโ€™s not the case - it is ok to feel disappointment!

Itโ€™s also possible to train the dogs to cope and thrive doing what you want, it just takes time and patience.

The only thing we have to try to do as owners is to not get stuck in the expectations and accept / work with the dogs we have โ˜บ๏ธ
