Loose Lead Walks
Do you have more than one dog and want that desired LLW from both?
You need to work on one dog at a time, once trained individually you can then bring them together 🐶

Here is my friend and client working hard training her dog. As you can see they are both doing amazingly, Walter is responsive, he is engaged and is listening to his markers and cues.
This was being filmed so we can track his progress and see how far he has come! However, this was then ruined by the inconsiderate owner who allowed their dog to approach him. Walter is working through minor reactivity to dogs and has been doing fab noticing the dogs around and then checking back in.
If you let your dog off lead with no recall and shout ‘he’s friendly’ or ‘sorry he doesn’t have good recall’ you are creating so many problems. It’s rude, dangerous and completely unavoidable by training your dog.
You can see how distressed Walter becomes having this dog enter his space. The other dog is not responding to being told no and to back off, at this point there was no other option than to pull Walter away which can trigger a reaction. His owner did the right thing and following this got right back into training so it became a positive experience so not to ruin a successful session.
What if the dog you let yours approach is;
- training
- aggressive
- anxious
- therapy or working dog
So many dogs become reactive because of the ‘friendly’ off lead dog.
No recall, no off lead!

Bathing and grooming can be a very stressful time for a dog. The best thing you can do is take those preventive measures to prepare and protect both the groomer and your pup. Start very slowly with your puppy and each time make it rewarding to them.
Build a positive association around the shower/bath along with the hair brush and dryer.
Along with this your pup needs exposed to handling particularly around ears, paws and nails. This can be very helpful to your groomer to avoid any discomfort and in some cases biting.
We had one escape from the bath but other than that Kane took it so well 😅

Reactive dog owners 🐾
Having a reactive dog is nothing to be embarrassed by, certainly not if you are out and trying to train and better your dog!
It might feel like you want the ground to swallow you up but don’t panic. Keep calm and help your dog out of the situation that they are in 💚

Benefits of scatter feeding.
🐾 Outlets to sniff - sniffing allows the dog to ‘see’ the world and their environment.
🐾 Predator instinct - dogs are natural scavengers and will enjoy the search for food.
🐾 Mental enrichment - did you know a mental task is as tiring as physical. Find a balance of mental enrichment along with walks and exercise.
🐾 Calming and relaxing - sniffing is a low arousal activity to help promote a calm dog.
🐾 Slow down meal times - for the dogs that inhale their food! If you have a puppy by scatter feeding you will tire them out as they spend more time working on their food than if it was given in a bowl.
Hands up in comments who scatter feeds?🙋🏽♀️

Harley progress ⭐️
Loose lead walk in one session, Harley and her owner have done amazing with the work I had set them up with meaning she was ready to smash her loose lead!
So much more relaxed, such a good start! Will next be getting Harley through certain areas that she finds difficult to pay attention.

There are many ways people use a stay or a wait cue.
Do you use that cue in this situation? Or find yourself saying ‘wait wait wait’
By repeating cues your diluting the impact showing the dog they don’t need to listen the first time around. A wait or stay in this situation is implied, the dog should remain in their sit/down until released.
This won’t come naturally and will take a lot of practice and time building up the duration. Have a go and tag me in your videos! 💚🐾
