Maisie
Recall with Maisie today, need to work on our finish on return, instant sit rather than jumping up ๐๐คฃ sheโs a chancer, we donโt program dogs to be robots though and itโs great to have character ๐ฅฐ
Maisie
Walk and train with 12 month old Maisie today reinforcing her lead manners, recall and social skills with people and dogs in public. Few reminders needed as we left the house while she was a bit excited but soon settled to a lovely relaxing walk.
Milo
Walk and train with Milo today, reinforcing his public exposure, he was super! Not one reaction to any dog, person, cyclist, bird, anything! Couldnโt have picked a better day for it either, being boat festival weekend we had plenty distractions to work with. Super session and great lead manners from Milo to ๐
Bandit
Second session with Bandit this morning and it was onto lead manners and passing people and dogs without lunging with excitement! A simple switch of collar/ lead and clear guidance from owner Bandit was walking sooo much better! Passing his usual triggers with just a look. Super work guys, see you all after my recovery ๐
Molly, Luna and Poppy
A day for Labradors! Just missing a chocolate ๐ first time 6 month old Molly (golden) has been out with Luna and Poppy, manners between them all was great! Lovely relaxed walk ๐พ
Walter
Second session with human reactive Walter today, much better with me entering the house at start of session, no reaction!
We then went out for a walk around town and then to stand by the local shop where alot of people were coming and going, again Walter made no attempt to react and was relaxed with all the people, you will see in video someone coming out of the shop, Walters tail wags and he actually willingly approached the person! Big step for him to do comfortably without lunging and barking! A great session, owner will now reinforce all this until i see them next in August after my recovery. ๐
Murphy
Last session with dog/people reactive Murphy this evening! Murphy from our first session has come a long way, as has owner, been lovely to see both their confidence grow and enjoy walks without being on edge! Will catch up with these 2 on my return after operation if needed ๐
King
First time off lead today after couple sessions of recall training! King nailed it, considering he had no freedom at all and was in a crate for more than 9 hours a day in previous home he is now respecting and enjoying freedom knowing he will get it again. We passed a few people and couple of dogs which King didnโt even attempt to approach ๐ he values his toy/owner more than distractions and this is exactly how it should be!
Hugo
Second session with Hugo today and we made progress in town around people and dogs which Hugo nailed! Considering Hugo isnโt out in public at all he was really well behaved even if a little excited with all he was exposed to.
For our last 10 mins we worked on owner holding lead and building confidence just walking Hugo with no distractions! As you can see Hugos owner is just little and he is a big strong boy who likes to dictate what happens on the lead which previously has led to owner being dragged so understandably her confidence with him is low. We ended today with a very happy owner who can see light at end of tunnel ๐ฅฐ๐พ๐ฅฐ
Cosmo and Maple
Lovely morning for a walk with the Podencos ๐ฅฐโ๏ธ
Piper
Little Gsd Piper joined me today for some walk and train! Some lead work to be done and building on public exposure, social skills etc but on the whole such a clever pup!
Opal
Few walk and trains done with GSD Opal! Lead manners are improving by reinforcement each walk, she is learning now what end of lead means. She is a young dog full of energy but is eager to please and super clever!
Walter
Second session with Spaniel pup Walter today and he is nailing his training on and off lead! Lead manners and recall are literally faultless, today we did some confidence building also, taking Walter to some streets in his home town where he is unsure of certain things, he was super, passing everything, checking in with owner, engaging, everything we wanted. Gold โญ๏ธ Walter will be joining Sunday pack walk to further his training ๐
Cassius
A sign off for Cassius today ๐ a young Labrador who joined me to help with his poor lead manners and jumping on people. His training has been going great and owners been doing a super job reinforcing the plan put in place! Cassius will continue with my pack walks to further his training with alot of distractions and new places.
Pack walk
Off lead fun ๐คฉ
Pack walk
Fantastic pack walk today! 8 super dogs all here to learn and reinforce training, behaviour from each one was great today. Well done to all, our next walk will be 12th May, 1pm. If you would like to join next walk for any reason donโt hesitate to get in touch to book ๐
Cassius
Cassius nailing his lead manner and engagement training! Cassius is joining our pack walk Sunday also to put his training to the test with multiple dogs and distractions ๐
Raven
I love getting updates from owners months down the line! Great to see training still being reinforced (as it should be) well done Raven and owner! ๐คฉ
Cassius
Cassius during our 1-1 today! A big difference from the start of our session where he was pulling hard into his flat collar, lead was tight and he was making some awful noises! Half hour into session and he was engaging better, nice loose lead and no rasping/choking noises! Great work ๐
Puppy class
Our last class of the 5 week block today! We ventured to a busy Cullen beach with the pups to reinforce engagement, recall, basic commands, lead manners and social skills all in real life situations! All pups did fantastic, have come such a long way from week one to now. Very well done to all owners for doing the home work each week!
