Faiths Progress

It's not much a video when your flying solo but here's a progress report on Faith. She has discovered we have more then 1 cat as he decided to show his face this week, her face was a picture!. Because he unexpectedly showed his face we did have a chase, but luckily our gate provided him with an escape and she recovered quickly when asked to come away and settled down pretty much straight away which I took as a win. (The realities of training, it doesn't always go right) We're much more prepared for his entrances now and they have been successful so far with her remaining calm despite being attached to me and her collar. So... BEHAVIOURS WE SAW A MONTH A GO... 🐕Fixation/stiff posture 🐕Whining 🐕Pacing 🐕Lunging at and biting the gate 🐕unable to focus on me or any reward BEHAVIOURS WE A SEEING NOW.... 🐕Better focus 🐕No whining 🐕No tension or fixation 🐕No lunging at the gate (which is why we have ditched the lead for this part of her training 🐕No pacing 🐕Coming away when asked #thebestgirl #progress Humber Retired Greyhounds

WELL... we still have a long way to go with this big lad and walking his little brother at the same time isn't easy. 3 weeks ago I had to take this guy back home mid walk because his behaviours on a walk where just too extreme, even for me lol. Today with a few equipment changes (just need the leads changing) and lots of positive reinforcement and patience, Frank was beginning to show signs of change, only slight and possibly not noticeable to most but I am super proud of him this morning. And yes I am aware that he is still pulling occasionally and needs redirecting at one point but.... the redirection was to avoid an on coming dog who Frank does not like. By turning him back the other way gave him the space he needed to appropriately cope with the situation he was faced with, which he did. #dogoftheday

Jasper's favorite game after his walk, and providing even more stimulation for him routing and searching for the treats. #happydogs #thepetdogacademy #dog #walking #hull

One of our resident doggos Dave in his new protective boots. Dave has issues with his paws and has to wear them as a moisture barrier. He is super fussy with new things but has taken it like a champ with lots of positive reinforcement and patience. We can already see a difference in him since being able to get out and about again.
