DDB Rudi happily plods along on her walks.....until there is something to chase!
Ecollar course completed, and now back off lead safely !
Labrador Gunner back off lead in safety, having had a high chase drive towards prey animals.
The last session of his ecollar course saw deer making an appearance , and Gunner doing exactly what we've been training for ๐๐
Run free Gunner!!
This Rommie Rescues owners deserve a medal for commitment.
She had severe anxiety issues which manifested as reactivity towards other dogs.
Having spent the best part of TWO YEARS working with a trainer and their dog at distance in a secure paddock, trying to use food as a distraction with nothing you could remotely call progress, through their dog walker, they got in touch.
Trying to distract an anxious dog with food, and being given the standard advice of walking away or totally avoiding when a trigger appears WILL NOT resolve your issues.
This was the culmination of a structured program over several sessions , where having taken progressive steps, and a complete change of approach , we went and did something that was seemingly out of the realms of possibility a couple of months ago - A town centre full of people, dogs, traffic & loud noises ( she is also very sound sensitive)
She is not 100% happy, BUT, that's ok!
Stress will always form part of any behavioural modification, do not let any trainer tell you otherwise- if you do not confront the triggers how can the dog learn to be around them?
Sound like total common sense??
This is where going forwards her owners expose expose & expose , the more you counter condition the triggers and the environments the more comfortable the dog will become.
We have helped lay the foundations, now her owners with support, will start to build the house one brick at a time.
If like her amazing owners, you are feeling that after a lot of time and money invested , you are possibly being led up the garden path, then take a step back and maybe try something different. What have you got to lose??
From where we started, this was an absolutely monumental achievement and to see the change in her behaviour and decision making thus far is absolutely fantastic ๐๐๐
"PaIN and FeAr"
This lovely girl is on her way to no more incidents with livestock.
Stop talking, start showing.

Euro rescue Fonzi came to see us for the second session of his ecollar course- he has issues with prey chase and distracted recall / running over to other dogs ๐ ๐
During this session, we introduced a mix of long and short range recalls with some mild distractions ๐๐๐

GSD๐ฉ๐ช๐ Riley is a good boy, he listens and doesn't stray too far ..... until there's a deer or another dog anywhere in sight.
We finished his ecollar course with no chases as expected, with off lead work around several wild, running and static deer, and other dogs.
Back off lead totally safe , not just for him but for the triggers around him ๐๐

Last Nights Neutrality group class โฎ๏ธ๐โฎ๏ธ๐
Got a reactive dog, or looking to socialise your dog CORRECTLY? We can help!
The ORIGINAL reactive dog group class in the area โ๏ธ
**1:1 Behavioural modification or Behavioural assessment required prior to attendance**
Fantastic neutral walk with our Advanced Neutrality group on Tuesday evening ๐โฎ๏ธ๐
Most of these dogs were previously reactive/over stimulated around other dogs - hard work pays off ๐๐๐
Is your dog reactive? Over stimulated? Or fearful around other dogs?
Would this situation fill you with anxiety?
Well that's what all these owners thought before they attended our Neutrality classes*
There is a way out of this, you do not have to avoid other dogs, or hide behind cars, do not listen to the BS!!
Get in touch with us to start your journey to more peaceful, stress free walks and interactions ๐๐
* All dogs attending neutrality classes have, & must receive suitable 1:1 training prior to attendance.

It's a simple question...
'Who do you believe?'
The person that tells you?
Or the person that shows you?
2025 could be the year that your dog is safe to be off lead, can run free, that they aren't a danger to themselves and others.
Sonny, one of my dogs, as I've said many times, and told many people , was one of the most prey driven dogs I have EVER seen.
I've worked with HUNDREDS of dogs that take off after other animals, including ex hunting dogs, sighthounds the list goes on.
I standby the statement, that he was something else.
Categorically , Sonny would be DANGEROUS off lead around prey animals had he not been taught appropriately. He would be living a life of restricted misery.
Don't listen to the talkers, do your own research, and make up your own minds โฎ๏ธ๐
