Each and every dog has thier own traiing jouney! This all depends on many many diffrent factors. But each and every dog gets training that is tailored to where they are on their trainig jouney.
Here are some glimpses into the training journeys some of the dogs that i have been working with recently.
Queenie 🐕🦺 had very little experience of walks before joining her new family. Pulling on the lead, reacting to other dogs, and switching off from her owners made walks a challenge. Her training has focused on engagement, calm walking, and slowly building her disengagement around other dogs.
Tala 🎯, a clever and energetic puppy, needed strong foundations in recall, lead walking, and self-control. With those in place, we could stretch her skills—recalling her away from distractions and keeping her focus even with her playful older brother around. Her journey shows how quickly a young dog can progress through training.
Rocky 🛏️, small but noisy! Barking when visitors arrived, when his family went upstairs, or when he wanted food from his family. By teaching him to relax on his bed and desensitizing him to these triggers to help him reduce barking. Especially with his families new baby on the way soon.
Darcie 🔍, the huntress, presented a unique challenge with recall during intense hunting moments. Traditional treats and toys weren't enough when she was focused on scents in bushes. We looked at ways to channel her hunting instincts into activities with her owner and what motivators that leveraged her natural hunting desires, we could use to reinforce recall.
Each training session with these dogs has been unique. It's essential to tailor training approaches to suit each dog's specific needs, goals, and current situation.
