I've been working with this beauty for over a year and what a journey it's been.
There are many moments in training where i stop and marvel over how far a dog has come. A year ago, it would have seemed impossible to imagine her on a public beach enjoying the sea. But here she is 😍
We have got here with training that is based on connection, understanding and acceptance. That means i can work with her in a way that she needs and advocate for her in a way that keeps her feeling safe and supported. When we are out, we are a team.
We have had set backs, many ups and many downs but we keep learning, keep showing up and working with what we have.
It's not been a quick fix, it's not involved fear or pain or punishment, it's rarely been easy but boy have we learnt alot along the way.
Science works, it just requires commitment and trust in the process!
