Cali and Booboo
We had an awesome session today with the Dogue De Bordeaux rescue Cali. β€οΈβ€οΈ
Cali was deemed other dog aggressive, due to her reactions when seeing other dogs. π²π²
Cali spent time today with one of our assistance dogs Booboo. πΆπΆπΎπΎ
We had a brilliant walk today in a local park, which Cali loved, with no adverse reactions to Booboos presence. ππ
We even had both dogs in the same car on the way home. You smashed it today Cali. π₯°π₯°
Emma and Belle
We had another session today with the other dog aggressive rescue Emma. π―π―
We have worked with Emma's owners to help in calming her around other dogs. π₯°π₯°
Emma today met our assistance dog Belle and her reaction was amazing. Calmness personified. β€οΈβ€οΈ
Bark in the Park
We're at Wythall Park until 4pm.
Come pay us a visit.
Ronald
Here we have Ronald. πΆπΆ
Ronald's family had various issues with their 10/11 year old Staffie. π²π²
Firstly we had to introduce techniques to assist in Ronald calming down around visitors. ππ
Secondly we had to desensitise Ronald to the imminent inclusion of the owner's granddaughter to the family home. π΅βπ«π΅βπ«
We then had to work with Ronald's reactivity to other dogs. π―π―
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. π€π€
Awesome work Ronald and your proud mum and dad. πΎπΎππββ

Hugo
We had an amazing session with Hugo today. β€οΈβ€οΈ
Hugo is a young German Shepherd, whose owner classed him as unwalkable. π²π²
After a few indoor sessions, working on Hugo's general obedience, we took him outdoors this afternoon. πΎπΎ
Hugo's owner could not believe that he was the same dog. πΆπΆ
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. π₯°π₯°
Well done Hugo. π€π€
Another superstar at work todayβ¦ 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, didnβt 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. πΆπΆ
Jax loved his first long lead experience this morning. πΎπΎ
Awesome recall at just 4 months old. π―π―
Well done lil fella. ππ
Here we introduce Louis. πΎπΎ
Louis is a 2 year old rescued Greek Shepherd who is quite new to his owners. π―π―
Louis has had to learn some general obedience in his home, this big boy didn't even know the sit command. π€π€
Louis was also quite reactive to other dogs on a walk. π₯π₯
Today he met our assistance dog Belle.
The results speak for themselves. πΆπΆβ€οΈ
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 π
What a fantastic journey weβve travelled with the truly Amazing Aura and her family over the last few weeks.
Weβve 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 growlβ¦
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 πΎπΎβ€οΈ
