Loki had his annual vet check and booster today; I am extremely proud of him and how neutral he is, we’ve done loads of exposer to the vets since he was a pup just taking him in, being handled and having a positive mindset with the vets which has benefited in the long run!
Excited to get his hip and elbow score done at the start of next year for possible stud prospects; the vets have said what an amazing boy he is all round health, behaviour and temperament wise 🐾

Stop putting human emotions on dogs which will stop them from learning or building confidence.
Sometimes we might need to use force/lead pressure to help a dog overcome a negative situation. Within 2 minutes Dody was going in and out of the crate confidently. She was shut down before, shaking, holding her body to the ground, tail tucked and refused food. Because I used lead pressure I was able to build up her confidence and guide her into the crate!

Day train with the gorgeous Maggie!
Maggie is a gorgeous young spaniel who gets over excited around dogs. Her owners wanted me to work on exposing her to new environments, co existing around dogs and learning to settle. 🐾
Stop sugar coating behaviours!
A lot of the time we can put our human emotions into a dog which only makes the behaviours worse. 🐾

Aggressive reactivity
Whiskey was not socialised or exposed for the first 6 months of her life. Whiskey comes from working lines and hoping to work her in security but had a lot of dog reactivity that needed to be resolved first! 🐾

Day train - Ralph 🐾
Ralph is fear aggressive towards dogs due to previous life as a street dog. On the day train we focused on building confidence outside of the house, in new environments and building engagement (taking food outside). We also worked on him co existing around dogs and building foundation 🐶

Turning the slip lead into a figure 8 lead to help reduce extreme pulling! Sometimes it’s not the tool that’s wrong but how we’re using the tool. I find spaniels are so much better on a figure of 8 to help calm them down then going back to the slip on the neck muscles - I find they can put a lot of strain on their neck as puppies while training loose lead walking. 🐾
TRAINING TAKES TIME, DEDICATION & COMMITMENT!
Koda came to me back in May and has since kept up with 1:1 sessions to build her confidence and reduce the fearful aggression. Koda is a 3 year old rescue with no background information other then she was bred with strong working lines (to which we will put to fulfilment and use once we’ve reduced her fearful aggression) and kept outside with never being taken out on a walk, seeing people/dogs/environment.
Since our first session Koda has come a long way through her owner being very dedicated with her training, exposing her and building a relationship.
I can’t wait to see how these two progress in the future joining onto our classes and working Koda 🐾
