Cali and Booboo
We had an awesome session today with the Dogue De Bordeaux rescue Cali. ❤️❤️
Cali was deemed other dog aggressive, due to her reactions when seeing other dogs. 😲😲
Cali spent time today with one of our assistance dogs Booboo. 🐶🐶🐾🐾
We had a brilliant walk today in a local park, which Cali loved, with no adverse reactions to Booboos presence. 🙌🙌
We even had both dogs in the same car on the way home. You smashed it today Cali. 🥰🥰
Emma and Belle
We had another session today with the other dog aggressive rescue Emma. 😯😯
We have worked with Emma's owners to help in calming her around other dogs. 🥰🥰
Emma today met our assistance dog Belle and her reaction was amazing. Calmness personified. ❤️❤️
Bark in the Park
We're at Wythall Park until 4pm.
Come pay us a visit.
Ronald
Here we have Ronald. 🐶🐶
Ronald's family had various issues with their 10/11 year old Staffie. 😲😲
Firstly we had to introduce techniques to assist in Ronald calming down around visitors. 👍👍
Secondly we had to desensitise Ronald to the imminent inclusion of the owner's granddaughter to the family home. 😵💫😵💫
We then had to work with Ronald's reactivity to other dogs. 😯😯
So yes, there was a lot going on.
Ronald is now much calmer indoors.
He is now the granddaughters best friend,
and he can now walk without reacting to other dogs. 🤜🤛
Awesome work Ronald and your proud mum and dad. 🐾🐾🙌🙌⭐⭐

Acocks Green carnival

Hugo
We had an amazing session with Hugo today. ❤️❤️
Hugo is a young German Shepherd, whose owner classed him as unwalkable. 😲😲
After a few indoor sessions, working on Hugo's general obedience, we took him outdoors this afternoon. 🐾🐾
Hugo's owner could not believe that he was the same dog. 🐶🐶
We still need to work on Hugo's socialisation and recall, so still a way to go, but today was a major positive for Hugo's owner. 🥰🥰
Well done Hugo. 🤜🤛
Another superstar at work today… Dudey is just 7months old and his owner came to us just a few weeks ago as Dudley was pulling on lead, was quite phased by traffic; vets visits were a little tricky too as he was very keen to introduce himself to everyone in sight! Today was his last session with me and we took a walk to the vets where he sat calmly, didn’t jump or bark at the other dogs in there and walked home on a lovely loose lead with fantastic focus on his amazing hooman!
Jax
We introduced Jax to you a few weeks ago. 🐶🐶
Jax loved his first long lead experience this morning. 🐾🐾
Awesome recall at just 4 months old. 😯😯
Well done lil fella. 😍😍
Here we introduce Louis. 🐾🐾
Louis is a 2 year old rescued Greek Shepherd who is quite new to his owners. 😯😯
Louis has had to learn some general obedience in his home, this big boy didn't even know the sit command. 🤔🤔
Louis was also quite reactive to other dogs on a walk. 😥😥
Today he met our assistance dog Belle.
The results speak for themselves. 🐶🐶❤️
From growling and lunging at any dog that came near to calmly approaching and even getting to enjoy some off lead time with new found friends!! And sharing sticks too 😂
What a fantastic journey we’ve travelled with the truly Amazing Aura and her family over the last few weeks.
We’ve worked on owner focus, general obedience and used different techniques to help her learn to approach oncoming dogs in a calmer manner, demonstrating good manners and feeling no need to bark or growl…
Our assistance dog Syd has definitely found a new friend right there!
Her training time may be finished but Syd and I are really looking forward to catching up with Aura for fun filled walks very soon 🐾🐾❤️
Another great session yesterday with the beautiful Diesel.
When we first started our journey, Diesel was a very lively lad, he knew a few commands and his owners had done some great work with him but he had a few things to work on.. lead walking being one of them.
He had a tendency to jump at his owner when on lead, nibbling at his owners arms and generally being a bit of a pain 🤦🏼♀️, pulling massively and generally not focusing.
This was his first outdoor session, and he smashed it!! More work to do but what a brilliant start for him 🐾🐾❤️
What a fantastic session with the superstar that is Ollie, tonight!
This young man started with me just a few weeks ago as his owners were unable to have guests in the house due to the fact that he barked, lunged and nipped at them…And he didn’t like listening to his owners much either 🤦🏼♀️
Today we’ve played games, he’s taken treats (carrot is his absolute fave!) and he’s recalled to me too! He’s definitely done his owners proud this evening 🐾🐾❤️well done Ollie and the gang!
Another great session today but another last one 🤦🏼♀️
Ace has been a pleasure to work with and he worked so hard today, really deserving some off lead playtime with our assistance dog Syd at the end of our session…
Today was all about greeting other dogs more appropriately and showing his good manners on approach…and Ace smashed it, he managed to stay focussed, and was great off lead too, resisting the temptations of the trees (and squirrels) lol
A fantastic session today with Ralph, the Saint Bernard / Bernese Mountain mix…
Ralph had a tendency to lunge and sometimes bark at all other dogs on approach but today we introduced him to Cali the Rottweiler for the very first time and he was a true gent!
He’s an absolute superstar, there were lots of distractions today and he stayed focused on his amazing owner, and walked alongside Cali beautifully.
While we still have a little way to go til Ralph is A1 with every dog he meets, he’s making fantastic progress so far ❤️
Merlin
We had an amazing session this afternoon with the Beagle puppy Merlin. 🐶🐶
Merlin was an absolute nightmare on the lead, with his constant misbehaviour, his jumping and biting of his owner, his adverse reaction to distractions in general. 😯😯
Merlin was an absolute gent this afternoon.
Calm with his owner, calm around other dogs and people passing by. 🥰🥰
His owner now has so much more confidence.
❤️❤️
Another great session this week, with the amazing Blu.
After her initial response to visitors, which saw her almost bolting through the door to calmly approaching and focussing on her fantastic owner… Such a little superstar 🥰
A massive Hello to Olly and his fabulous owners!
They just stared with us last week and are absolutely smashing their homework!!!
Here’s Olly demonstrating “in your bed” and “wait” just perfectly!
Think you’ll agree he has the makings of a ⭐️pupil!
Nugget
Here we welcome Nugget. 🥰🥰
Nugget had major issues with both pulling and clawing at the pavement on a walk. 😯😯
Nuggets issues were so bad, that his paws would bleed. 😥😥
This was the amazing Nugget yesterday. 🤩🤩
