Buster the frenchie
First session with buster the leash reactive frenchie, who at the start of the session had no desire to disengage from a dog. Once clearly communicating through the slip lead and building engagement through treats and praise he was able to walk past Wilbur like a dream, only a couple minor reactions but he moved on from them like a dream and was ready and willing to engage again.
Kenzo!
Look at how amazing kenzo is getting on, before this session he couldn’t walk with a muzzle on, now look at him. Walking to heel, not trying to get the muzzle off and fully relaxed on his walk 🙌
We also went up against a bike which before he would’ve chased!
Such an awesome boy
Scary dinosaur vs Wilbur

How a real assistance dog should behave! Not
Phased whatsoever
A little bit of fun with covee
Having a little bit of fun with covee, although he can do all this without the ball I’m now working on him picking up his feet a little more
Walking saber ❤️
This is my second walk with saber, he’s typically a huge puller and hard to control but look at him go here! Long way to go but wow, he’s a very quick learner. With some extra communication through the slip and positive reinforcement he’s coming along nicely 😍
Storm training
Doing some work with storm, working on keeping his bum and position in instead of out when going into fuß. Something that needs to be sorted before he moves onto his BH and other trials
Coco doing fab training
A video of coco doing some training, she used to lunge at the end of the lead whenever a dog walked past, she’s just excited however we built up engagement with her owners and then added a calm dog who wasn’t fussed about her.
You can see her choose to disengage from Albert, incredible work ❤️
Covee’s bite work
Covee having a bit of fun doing some more bite work again! Becoming a lovely all rounder ❤️
XL bully ban
Dr David Martin - is bang on & explaining why a number of dogs that aren't XL Bullies may get caught up in current legislation as they look "of type". He also highlights the impact of police kennels on dogs 👏
Covee regionals 2023
A video from our weekend away, very impressed with how he settled into the environment for his first regionals show and here’s to many more just as successful shows!
I’m very proud with the SG result, now back home to practice for our BH
And a massive thank you to my handler Carl for handling him so well.
Would you believe a month ago a dog couldn’t be within eyeshot of Riley without him flipping out! He’s been doing absolutely incredible, he’s been reactive for the past 3 years of his life so this is amazing progress ❤️
Video of arlo’s heel work coming along nicely
Having Arlo walk past two dogs whilst remaining engaged with the handler. A big well done to Arlo!
Working on this gorgeous girls recall, she’s doing so awesome. and I love her new little haircut she now looks more like a cocker 🤣
When you know you’re not allowed to sniff the food but love the smell of bread 🤣
He cracks me up sometimes
A video from when we saw max, this boy is doing so much better. The videos his owner sent me, he was scatty and all over the place. This is much better from him, I think Wilbur was a big confidence booster for him.
Next time we see him we’ll try and brush him, as he tried to bite his owner last time we’ll just take it slow and steady.
Working on our emergency downs again, it’s really starting to click with him! We have a post about why we find it emergency downs important if you want to check it out.
You can hear in my voice how impressed I am with him, he’s blown me away today! His reactions are quicker than last week.
I’m so lucky to have such a driven dog
I lovely video from yesterdays job, it is so nice to see this girl and her mum walking relaxed and happily. She’s nervous of walking new routes and starts pulling and crying on the way home.
We decided not to push her too much this session.
But had Wilbur, a relaxed and calm dog behind her which she was not bothered about.
I cannot way too see her again.
