Meet the handsome Odin!
Odin is a 22 month old English Bull Terrier. His owners needed help with his lead walking and engagement when out and about; he pulls like an Ox and gets very easily over stimulated, especially when he sees another dog
Odins susceptibility to becoming over aroused in various situations led to him displaying a few behavioural issues that his owners were struggling with including lead biting, lead pulling, excessive vocalisation and door dashing.
We spoke about little changes that could be made to his daily routine to work on their relationship and use up some of his energy in constructive ways.
Impulse control exercises are going to be a HUGE factor in his training. We spent quite some time working on his sit stay at the front door, which he really struggled with to begin with, before moving outside to practise pressure and release to work on those lead skills and build engagement
Odin and his owners both did amazingly! They still have a long way to go but I'm confident that with consistency and the new skills they've learnt that they'll get there!!
