Something a little outside of the box from trainer Natalia!
Here she is teaching BDT dog Bruno to cock a hind leg on cue using gentle touch with a target stick and lots of food rewards. She plans to build this to a hind leg limp in time so watch out for updates.
My usual hilarious quality filming but please appreciate this wonderful pointer girl and her wonderful focus.
Speedy down-in-motion with implied stay until recall, flip to heel finish, lots of eye contact.
This little dachshund has been thriving on our Leash and Learns with amazing trainer Natalia. His owner came to us for help with his incredibly explosive fear-reactivity towards people.
Here he is offlead heeling through a busy shopping centre with total confidence in himself and his head held high!
Boring caveat on this one - much training has gone in to achieve this level of control and confidence in him and this shopping centre is dog friendly. Don't do this with dogs that will leave heel or in places dogs aren't welcome. But it proves beautifully what is possible with the right training and an owner that will maintain the work our trainers put in 💜
Even when it's not perfect, we are still having fun 💜

More lead manners with this dalmatian cross who could be quite the puller when she put her mind to it!
I've intentionally included a demonstration of the use of leash pressure here when she continued forward after I'd stopped.
She is still a work in progress but doing very, very well.
Loose lead walking, auto-sits and a correction (can you spot it?) with this tiny little dude of a terrier mix.
Bailey is in training with us for pulling, lack of recall, some dog reactivity and fear issues, nipping for attention and for general obedience.
There is a long way to go yet but here is a quick update of her progress.
Our very own Natalia having a bit of fun with her Bruno as the sun went down.
*BEFORE TRAINING*
Another day, another puller!
Check back soon for updates on her progress 🥰
A fun confidence building exercise!
Reverse heeling foundations with Kestrel.
A chill walk today with six very different dogs.
The front three demonstrate nicely that you don't have to be formally heeling at all times to be walking politely!
