Cute little puppy in for his second vaccination π safe to say I did not want to give him back to his owner!
π Knowing your dog's energy requirement is so important to know how much food to feed your dog. If your dog is fed the correct amount for their activity level, you should see fewer alternative behaviours and have a more patient/obedient dog π

Lucky loved performing his new trick the other day during a group session! When a dog feels comfortable enough around other dogs to be able to perform tricks with their owner is huge progress π. Lucky has done so well with his training. His owners are so dedicated to him, which makes it all worthwhile π

πΎ Scout πΎ
Scout had his first group walk the other day, and he did really well! He spent a lot of time looking at the other dogs and stayed very calm!
Well done, Scout! π

πΎ Dotty & Wilbur πΎ
It was these two adorable munchkins' first session in my group walk and they did very well! We stuck to the sidelines to allow them lots of space to watch the other dogs without having a reaction and get lots of yummy treats!

The best part about giving a rescue dog a second chance at life is seeing them grow in confidence and learn how to play! β€οΈ

Sleep is so important for your dog's mental well-being π

πΎ Bertie πΎ
One of Bertie's biggest triggers is a black labrador, especially one running around. Last week, Oscar the black lab was running in front of Bertie and he had a reaction to it (lunging/barking/unettled). This week, Hazel the black lab is running around and Bertie couldn't seem less bothered.
There may be a link between Bertie only having a reaction to another entire male and not to a female. Bertie could potentially be showing competitive aggression rather than generalised reactivity.

πΎ Lucky πΎ
This gorgeous hunk of man is Lucky β€οΈ
Lucky previously had a little problem with protecting his favourite things, like toys, food etc...He would be worried that they would be taken away from him and so he would guard them.
Through lots of dedication to training from his owners, we taught Lucky to enjoy playing with his toys but also to leave them when being asked too. This video is a perfect example of that!
The reason he needed to learn how to leave an object was for the owner to be able to safely remove it when they needed to π
Well done, Lucky! π
I do miss this hunky monkey π₯°

Seeing a rescue dog learn how to play after months of trust and confidence builig is the most uplifting and fulfilling feeling for an owner and a dog behaviourist π
πΎ Rolo πΎ
Rolo is showing me a clear but polite way of asking me to stop reaching forward with my hand to stroke her. Dogs will usually over lick/aggressively lick in an attempt to say no. This can sometimes be misunderstood as affection, which is why it is so important to understand the situation the dog is doing this behaviour.
