Wülfgang Dog Training

Bruce had his second session yesterday.

At the start of the session it was raining heavily so I wore my dry robe, lesson learned, Bruce is understandably not a fan of dry robes, they’re big, blow in the wind, make a lot of noise and to dogs they make people look oddly shaped.

Once I had taken it off he was much more confident around me and even managed to take a few treats from a distance (with his amazing catching skills).

We worked on some engage/disengage, and managed to get to the second step of the game without even trying, looking at me and straight back to his guardian was all Bruce’s choice.

In just two sessions with Bruce we’ve noticed a massive improvement with his loose lead, in his ability to disengage from triggers and engage with his owner and in making better decisions.

Well done Bruce 👏 🐾

A baby animal is a baby animal. They are still developing, figuring out their world and societal expectations.

They need to feel safe, being alone is scary, not knowing what’s happening from one moment to the next is scary.

We accept this in human children. We have a better understanding of what’s expected although we can never prepare. But do we go in with these expectations and anything that doesn’t meet them is a bonus.

With puppies we are surprised, feel like there’s something wrong and often question what is happening. If we all went in with the same idea that this is a life changing, challenging but very rewarding journey, we might see better choices when bringing home our pups.

Just a quick reminder that I’m going to be away from the 29th August until the 1st of September, leaving Misty at home to relax by her pool☀️

This will be the first time that I’ve left Misty for more than a few hours in 2 whole years 🤯

I likely won’t have signal whilst I’m away so enquiries will be replied to and invoices for next week will be sent on the Thursday 28th🐾

Great first session today with Bruce a lovely adolscent, black lab, who feels overwhelmed by new people, dogs and the environment.

We introduced stop/start to help with his lead pulling, avoiding using his name too often to avoid spoiling it, to prevent making it become just background noise and we worked on his confidence around me.

Lots of space, avoiding walking head on towards him and avoiding making eye contact is needed for Bruce to feel safe around new people, but by the end of the session he chose to come fairly close to me a number of times.

We’ll also be introducing some extra breed specific outlets to help with his frustration, ACE Free work and rucksack walks to help him decompress, slow down, and to help with his confidence and arousal.

Keep an eye out for pupdates about Bruce’s journey🐾

Hi all,
So now’s probably a good time to let you all know that I’m hypermobile and sometimes my joints like to dislocate, this isn’t a regular thing and it hasn’t happened in two years… until yesterday, my right knee dislocated after I knocked it on a bench🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m absolutely fine, can still walk and luckily theirs not much bruising or swelling but it is painful and feels a lot weaker than is usual for me.
I will be wearing a knee support for the next week or so and will need to take things easy over the next few days, will likely need to priorities the dogs that are home alone for long hours / do drop ins instead and try to reduce the amount of driving I do, as I drive an automatic so it’s all with my right leg😅

I will be going through my diary this afternoon so will contact everyone individually.

If we have walks planned for this week but you’re going to be home or they no long need a walk can you let you know me please🙏

When my new tower fan came packaged in these, I knew the boys today would have fun with them, so I used them in some free work ☀️
“One man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure” comes to mind😂🐾

☀️ Heatwaves & 121 Sessions ☀️

We are fortunately for us (but not so fortunate to out dogs) due high temperatures again next week. Because of this I’m going to have to have to postpone most 121 sessions again for another week.
The safety and wellbeing of your dogs is a priority.

I will be in touch with everyone individually to rearrange over the weekend🐾
