๐Ÿพ The Family Dog Puppy Class ๐Ÿพ

Red, Teddy and honouary part-time member Saffron, have begun their training journeys ๐Ÿ™Œ

There is definitely a Poodle trend here, with a Toy Poodle, Cavapoo, and Cavapoochon all in the same group!

During their first session, we covered:
๐Ÿ”น Clear communication when training
๐Ÿ”น Focus around distractions
๐Ÿ”น Lie Down
๐Ÿ”น Socialisation and what it ๐™ง๐™š๐™–๐™ก๐™ก๐™ฎ means for a puppy

Well done all for a brilliant start ๐Ÿ‘

Congratulations to Wren and Dotty for completing Rapid Recall!

We had a fantastic time in Pittville Park building their focus around distractions and applying their new skills in the real world. They also got to enjoy the play session they've been itching for throughout class!

We were sad to not have Mable, Wanda & family join us, however we hope they had a lovely time on their holidays and hopefully we'll catch up with them again soon ๐Ÿฅฐ

I am so proud of all these teams and their progress throughout class ๐ŸŒŸ

A big welcome to Phoenix ๐Ÿ‘‹

Phoenix, the 2-year-old Husky x Collie, has been working hard in his Adult Dog Coaching Programme to overcome reactivity towards other dogs, lead walking and recall as he settles into his new home.

Phoenix had a tricky and murky start to life, being abandoned in a flat for weeks before the RSPCA were called out. From what we can gather, it seems this lovely boy has been very undersocialised, and is rather conflicted when he spots dogs. We've seen some very soft, wiggly body language one moment, but snapping and lunging the next - he simply doesn't know how to go about interactions in an appropriate manner.

Thanks to the incredible dedication of his family, he is coming along leaps and bounds already, with higher levels of focus out of the home, signficantly improved lead walking, and has been enjoying some sessions with Jasmine where he's learning to simply share space with another dog. We've even had a few confident off lead dogs approach, and Phoenix has maintained his composture, resulting in calmness and inquisitivity ๐Ÿ™Œ

Well done Team Phoenix for your epic progress so far!

Congratulations to Vinny, Poppy, Otis, Buster and their people for completing The Family Dog puppy class ๐Ÿฅณ

All of these pups have made incredible progress throughout class. It was wonderful to see them put their learning to the test around a host of distractions during their final session, and watch them enjoy a well-earned play at the end!

We missed Avon & family, however I hope they had a wonderful time on holiday and I look forward to hopefully catching up with them again soon.

Well done all - you smashed it ๐ŸŒŸ

A MASSIVE congratulations to Leo for finishing his Fear Around Dogs Programme ๐Ÿฅณ

I have been working with Leo over the summer to help him overcome his fear, and he has impressed me throughout. During the initial consult process, when asked to describe how Leo feels about dogs, his mum wrote: "He says they are scary and he doesn't like them. Wants to be picked up if we pass a dog when out walking and becomes terrified if he sees a dog in the distance coming towards us."

On top of this, I was heartbroken to hear that he once suffered a panic attack at school when a dog handler visited the school. No child should live with such an intense and impactful fear, and I was so happy they reached out for support.

Two months down the line, Leo has achieved an incredible turn around.

To go from a boy who would feel panicked by dogs in the vicinity, to holding a dog's lead and playing fetch with them, is outstanding. He really committed himself to the learning, keenly taking in the information and applying it between sessions. I couldn't be happier for him and his newfound confidence.

Well done, Leo! ๐Ÿ‘

A big welcome to Bonny ๐Ÿ‘‹

Bonny, the 8-week-old Biewer Terrier, has been working through her Puppy Starter Programme following a Pre-Puppy Home Visit with her new "mum".

Bonny is beyond lucky to have been chosen by such a dedicated lady. Thanks to the emphasis placed on ensuring she felt safe in her new environment from the get-go, she has settled in beautifully. The benefits of this have been shown with her sleeping throughout the night and being comfortable when left in her pen for short bursts whilst chores are completed.

Prior to her first walks, she has been carried around in a sling to gain exposure to the outside world, and has had experience of walking around the garden with walking aids. This is going to be essential for her to be confident during walks long-term, as she will be next to a walking stroller.

Now that she has settled and come out of her shell more, we have begun diving into key life skills. Bonny has now learned Sit, Lie Down, Drop and Bed, and we will begin adding in further skills to ensure she continues to be the perfect companion.

Well done Team Bonny for a fantastic start ๐Ÿ‘

A MASSIVE congratulations to Jesse for finishing his Fear Around Dogs Programme ๐Ÿฅณ

I have been working with Jesse over the summer to help him overcome his fear, with his mum describing his response to dogs as "terrified" prior to us starting. If he met one either indoors or outdoors, he would want to be "picked up, will run and scream if not".

Well, what a HUGE U-turn we've had!

His mum left me this lovely feedback about their experience ๐Ÿ‘‡

"I canโ€™t recommend Natasha enough. Our 5 year old was absolutely terrified of dogs and the difference in just 8 weeks is amazing. Heโ€™s able to walk a dog on a lead, give them treats, play fetch. Itโ€™s night and day. We canโ€™t thank her enough for her help."

I am so proud of Jesse, he smashed it out of the park ๐Ÿ’ช

A big welcome to Vinnie ๐Ÿ‘‹

Vinnie, the 8-year-old Boston Terrier, has been working through his Adult Dog Coaching Programme focused on...

๐Ÿ˜ค Reactivity Towards Dogs and Some People (including dogs on TV)
๐Ÿฟ Prey Drive
๐Ÿš— Calmness During Car Travel
๐Ÿƒ Recall
๐Ÿฆฎ Lead Walking

Vinnie didn't have the best start to life, having been bullied by the other Bostons in his old home and crated most of the time due to this. He has been with his family for 3 years now, but the impact of this experience has led to him not being able to socialise with other dogs and a very pent-up reaction upon seeing them.

He is absolutely smashing his training, with an ever-increasing threshold when seeing dogs, and having two experiences now of being able to remain calm whilst stopped with a dog a few metres away! He has also increased his focus on his people overall in and out of the home, which is in turn improving his lead walking and prey drive ๐Ÿ‘

Well done Team Vinnie for all your progress so far!

A MASSIVE congratulations to Noah for finishing his Fear Around Dogs Programme ๐Ÿฅณ

I have been working with Noah over the summer to support him with overcoming his fear, with his mum describing his response to dogs as "terrified" prior to us starting. Not only this, but if a dog were to approach him, he would "scream, be visibly scared, want to be carried".

Now, well, I think that huge grin says it all!

I couldn't be more thrilled with this incredible feedback from Noah's mum ๐Ÿ‘‡

"Natashaโ€™s Fear Around Dogs programme was invaluable for us. My son is 6 and was terrified of dogs - he would see a dog on the street and jump up onto me to feel safe. Over the past 8 weeks, my son has developed a greater understanding of dogs and their behaviours, and even built up the confidence to give a dog a treat, play fetch, and stroke, all thanks to Natashaโ€™s help. Would highly recommend to anyone who has a fear of dogs or needs help with their childโ€™s fear. Thank you!!!"

I am so proud of Noah for diving into the learning (despite being on summer break!), pushing himself out of his comfort zone between sessions, and being absolutely incredible with Jasmine.

To finish off our final session with him giving me a big hug and thanking me absolutely melted my heart... not to mention the cards he and his sister made for me ๐Ÿฅน To say this service is rewarding is an understatement!

I can't wait to see him again in a month to touch base and hear about how he's been getting on ๐Ÿ™Œ

A big welcome to Jersey ๐Ÿ‘‹

Jersey, the 8-week-old Golden Retriever, has begun her Puppy Starter Programme focused on "all things puppy".

Jersey is a very lucky pup, with her family booking my Pre-Puppy Package. This included a Zoom call a month before she arrived home, and a home visit a couple of weeks prior to ensure they were fully prepared for her arrival.

This was particularly useful as they have two young children in the home, and wanted to know how to set up the space to give Jersey the best chance of success. By setting up "Jersey's Bedroom" early on, this allowed the kids to learn to respect this space without the distraction of a puppy to contend with!

Thanks to a truly remarkable breeder - a very rare find - Jersey is already confident and well-rounded in many ways, and this is making training her an absolute joy. She clearly loves the learning process, and has excellent problem-solving skills. These often don't come naturally, and having a breeder who knows what they're doing and facilitates the development of problem-solving skills early on makes all the difference!

With the Pre-Puppy Package, they have 8 sessions to allow plenty of time for us to build up solid foundations, whilst also have fun advancing core life skills and practising in different environments to ensure long-term reliability. I can't wait to see how she does once out of the home ๐Ÿ’ช

Well done Team Jersey for an incredible start!
