Okay, so Jo is going to attempt this with one of her regular malis.....await the "you've been framed" footage this week 🫣 🚀
Beautiful Shelly, taking a break mid training session to take it all in. Here she is in the dog caravan at Poplar Paws, listening to and watching dogs run around playing.
She did get quite comfy 😁
Shelly is working on being neutral around other dogs, especially during the approach.
Shelly's reactive response is down to a lack of confidence around other dogs, which I am steadily building up with lots of positive experiences around dogs in a controlled way.
I love seeing her progress 😊
One of trainer Jo's favourite breeds, but wow these dogs don't mess about.
The Belgian Malinois is a very intelligent, extremely driven, and powerful breed. These are not for the faint-hearted, and they need lots of stimulation to adapt to a domestic setting.
This is not a 'first dog' choice and ideally needs to work daily.

Scent work has many benefits for dogs, including mental stimulation, physical exercise, and building confidence.
Scent work encourages dogs to use their natural behaviors, like sniffing and foraging.
Great fun for you and your dog!
Saturday morning lead work session with Marni and little Teddy.
We worked on the stepping back & feed method to encourage following and engagement on the lead.
We then stepped back with a turn into a walking position.
Moving on to stopping, getting back in a heel position, and lots of speed and direction changes.
Great work!
Does your dog pull, weave, and generally ignore you on the lead? Then this session is for you.
