Meet Charlie

Charlie completed his first 121 session to help him feel more confident & comfortable around other dogs.

After starting off with a quick refresher on loose lead walking skills we got to work on the reactivity protocol, going at the dog’s pace & in a controlled environment. Look at how close he was comfortably able to walk with Delta (boxer) after a short space of time! Great work Charlie ⭐️

Next up we’ll see how his brother Bobbi gets on, then work on putting them together, as this is when the main issue arises.

Reactivity can be unsettling for both ends of the lead. It’s not only about helping the dog, but to help their human feel more confident with their handling skills & how to be the advocate for their dog.

If you’d like to book a session for any issue you’re having with your dog contact the page or email: [email protected] to book 🐾

Meet Buddy

Buddy is a nervous boy whose landed himself a fabulous new home where he’s been able to settle in & decompress at his own pace

Now that he’s feeling a little more confident we started work on loose lead & recall so he can enjoy his walks with his human - as you can see he was super proud of himself after a great session. I’m definitely looking forward to hearing about all the adventures he’s going to go on ☺️
