Mav Update ๐๐
Remember Maverick! ๐ถ We posted a few weeks back, highlighting his unhealthy addiction to balls ๐พ In addition to this, Mav was reactive on lead, pulled like a train, demanding of his owners attention, unable to relax (huge issue) and failing to recall. Session one was focused around removing the ability for him to access balls freely and begin to benefit Maverick genetically (using structured play with flirt pole, tug toys, ball on a rope) Aiming to increase relationships with his owners in a more healthy manner! With all of that in place and following the fantastic commitment from his owners (with superb progress!) session two was focused on introduction to ecollar to gain reliability on recall ๐ Needless to say, his owners have also fully committed to this and he is currently well on his way to a life of off lead freedom ๐๐ผ See you again on Tuesday Maverick ๐ #dogtraining #dogtrauk #dogsofyorkshire
We donโt do Monday morning Blueโs ๐ We do happy and fulfilled Norwegian Buhundโs ๐๐ผ
When Blueโs owner reached out to me for behavioural advice, things were pretty desperate - rehoming was being considered. Following an all clear by her vet, we got to work with her OCD behaviours, created a little team of helpers - dog walkers and a dog groomer (@charliekilpatrick @yappyfeet @bobbyphilips) Todayโs training walk speaks for itself ๐ฅณ Happy dog, happy owner!

Finishing the day off with an update from Dexters owners ๐
This beautiful boy has had a period of illness which took a while to recover from ๐ข Coming out of the other side of that he is now experiencing a fear phase (age related) Daffodils is a new one though ๐ผ๐ Bless him!
However, heโs back into the swing of things and both his and his fab ownerโs confidence are continuing to grow ๐พ๐ถ
Thatโs a wrap for today ๐๐ผ

โผ๏ธFor awareness - this farmer could have shot this dogโผ๏ธ
The dog is โworryingโ his sheep - that is reason enough.
There is no doubt that the owner of this dog is a nice guy. However, he put himself, his dog, the sheep AND the farmer in a predicament that could have been fatal๐
The owner stated that the dogs recall was โusuallyโ great! That is until itโs not!!!
**This clip is evidence that there isnโt a substitution for predation**
The chasing of the sheep was the highest reward to that dog - ๐งฌGENETICS๐งฌ
THE ONLY TOOL THAT CAN PROVIDE RELIABLE RECALL - NOT JUST โSOMEโ OF THE TIME - ALL OF THE TIME!!!! IS THE ECOLLAR!
If this ban goes through on February 1st, it will be a complete and utter disaster - for dogs, livestock, owners and farmers ๐ก
Andrew Jones MP to support this ban is to not support your local farmers and dog owners. We are surrounded by land that is occupied by livestock. Lambing season is just around the corner ๐
The Ecollar is a safe, effective, reliable and cruelty free tool! Regulate it - donโt ban it
This is it peopleโฆโฆ. This is a very clear example of irresponsible owners that are helping to pave the way towards limited dog ownership ๐ก
Kudos to the GSD owner! She bossed everything - from responsible ownership to sending that horse off on its way! ๐๐ผ
