So today’s client was little 4 year old French Bulldog ‘Monty’ who believed it was his job to protect both Mum and Dad and his domain, and would sometimes ’nip’ people in order to keep them away from his prized possessions!
A lovely day was had with Mum Courtney and Dad Olly showing them how they need to get across to ‘Monty’ that he has now retired, so he doesn’t have to look after them or even himself as they will look after him for the rest of his life. Very quickly after my arrival, he stopped the barking and lunging as I ticked all the right boxes to show him that I wasn’t a threat and once he calmed down, only then would he get the praise, reward, attention and affection that he craved from Mum and Dad!
In addition he would pull on his harness and react aggressively towards other dogs so a nice ‘discipline heel walk’ and dog reactivity session was included. ‘Monty’ responded very well to the training as did Courtney and Olly, so hopefully it won’t take long before the ‘penny drops’ and the good behaviours become a constant habit! 🤞👍🐾🦮🐕🐕🦺
