Chessie learning to go on her mat. She is such an enthusiastic pup with an over abundance of cuteness!
This may not look like much, however Tilly was a reactive dog. She would lunge and bark.
Here she is today walking on a long line without restraint, meandering around next to Buck without paying him any attention.
What a good girl 💜🐾
Flexi
Flexi leads are a great tool for giving our dogs a little freedom on their walks.
It is important our dogs understand the cue to come back to heal for instances like walking past other people or dogs.
Always be respectful of others around us when we are using a flexi!
Vander and Omari
Look at these awesome boys from Studio Groomed!
Vander did so well with his lesson so we were able to get Omari out as a distraction.
I highly recommend Stef and her team at Studio Groomed for all your grooming needs. These girls are not only great groomers, they are in it for the dogs.
Bambi!
Mel and Bambi training the Recall Cue.
Recall is one of the most important cues your dog will ever learn.
Train with a long line so your dog learns that whenever you say ‘come’ they have to return to you.
If they choose to ignore you, you have a way of encouraging them back.
The recall is such an important cue.
When we recall our dogs, it’s generally because we need them to return.
When teaching the recall cue, we start on a long line and if the dog ‘blows us off’ we have a physical way of ensuring that they are successful.
I always teach that unless your recall is reliable, keep the long line on whilst training until you and your dog are successful.
In this video, you can see how powerful a recall can be.
The Monster is sleeping under the house as I am walking around my paddock.
As you can see, he knows exactly what the cue means.
You may also notice that my other two dogs don’t come. The reason for this is that I have taught them to only act when their names are called first.
When I need them all to recall, I will say ‘boys come’ and they all respond.
Leash reactivity? What leash reactivity!!
🐾 When Pippa first came to me she couldn’t even walk outside without showing signs of stress due to being attacked by two dogs in the past. She would bark and lunge at any dog she saw.
💪 Look at her now! Her owners have put in the hard work and we are getting great results 💜
Bambi had a great lesson today.
She learned how to drop, walk on a lead, wait and the start of recall training 💜🐾
This is Shadow learning to walk nicely on lead.
His owners described him as a freight train.
After one short lesson, this is how he finished up walking.
With consistency, this is what can be achieved 🐾
I love getting client updates!!!
This is Karen and Loki showing off their training skills.
What an awesome duo. 💜🐾
Bambi learning to go to her mat and sit 🥰🐾
Bennys lesson today was focused on him being calm in the presence of another dog.
What a good boy. 🐾
I’m so proud of Benny and his owners.
Benny used to lunge, bark and attempt to push through the door when anyone knocked.
This is Benny today when I showed up!
It’s so wonderful to see that Bennys family have put in their homework. Well done team!
Today Benny started to learn to not bark and rush at the front door when people arrive.
When the doorbell rings, he goes to his place and sit quietly without the big blow up. This video was early on in the session.
By the end of our session, The doorbell became the cue to move to his mat.
Well done Benny!
Tommy nailing his walking on a windy day 🐾
Ellie’s owner had trouble walking her especially around other dogs and people where she would drag her owners towards them at every opportunity.
Here she is being a respectful dog citizen!
Big thanks to Carmelina and Charlie for being our distraction 🐾
Baby Molly learning to walk on lead 💜
This is why I love what I do! Here is Mollys little owner training her. Molly only learned to drop and roll over yesterday and look at her go!!! I’m so proud of this little trainer 💜💜
Little Molly learning to roll over 💜🥰 How adorable is this girl 🐾
