🐾 Training with Jess - Pawgress Report - Ella🐾

On Friday, Ella and I went out for our training walk. If you’ve missed her previous posts, we’re working on helping her become less reactive towards other dogs.

Once again, we had a really good session! Ella’s basic obedience on the lead is gradually improving, which is fantastic. She’s learning to heel and wait, which is great progress! We walked to one of our quiet fields, where Ella could see other dogs in the neighbouring field but from a safe distance.

Ella did amazingly in this situation. We gradually brought the dogs closer, and she remained calm with no reactions. Since she was doing so well, we decided to call it a day and walked home—side by side with my own dog, Martha. Once again, I noticed an improvement in Ella’s behaviour, and I can’t wait to see what this week brings!

Well done, Ella—you’re doing brilliantly! 👏🐾

🐾Training with Jess - Maya 🐾

Last week, I went to meet Maya and her family at Liberty Fields to observe how Maya behaved outside the home environment.

I initially planned to assess her reactions to other dogs, as she can be very boisterous when playing—particularly with one of her sisters. However, this also gave us a great opportunity to see how she responded to me, "a stranger," entering her space in an open environment.

I was so proud of Maya! It didn’t take long for her to completely relax around me, stop barking, and no longer feel the need to run at me.

It’s always wonderful to see dogs in different environments and notice improvements in just one session. I’m looking forward to catching up with Maya’s parents again soon, now that they have two training plans to follow—one for inside and one for outside the home.

Great work, guys! I’m sure it won’t take long for Maya to feel more comfortable around people both indoors and outdoors. 🐾👏

🐾 Training with Katharine - Dotty 🐾

At the end of last week I went to meet the adorable Dotty and her owners.

They needed a little help because Dotty was starting to show a bit of separation anxiety and was reactive with their daughter’s scooter, which is not ideal when you want to go on a nice family walk!

We worked on desensitising her to the ceremony of people leaving and started to create a little distance and rewarding her for staying calm. Separation anxiety is a real baby step process so we took it slow and will incrementally increase the distance and barriers as time goes on.

We also got stuck into getting her to be calm around the scooter by starting with a good amount of distance and rewarding her for checking in and getting her to associate it with positive rewards.

Dotty is a clever little dog who has worked out that if she digs in the garden, she can get attention. We therefore talked about ways of stopping her and removing her in a neutral way so as not to inadvertently reward this behaviour.

I really look forward to hearing about Dotty’s progress and to catching up with her and her owners for our next session in a couple of weeks 🥰

🐾 Training with Katharine - Felix 🐾

I got to meet Felix over the weekend with his lovely owners.

They were having some issues with Felix pulling on the lead as he is such a busy bee and likes to charge to get to where he wants to go. We worked on showing Felix that when he pulls, he goes nowhere and when he is walking nicely he gets to go forward. We did this in a way which encouraged Felix to think and use his brain to figure out what it was that we were asking of him.

We also worked on what to do when Felix is out and about on the lead and he sees another dog. Whilst Felix is fab off the lead he can be a bit reactive when he is on it. We went through commands and strategies which we could practice in the calm environment of a paddock with minimal distractions.

I look forward to hearing how all of this works in practice in the big wide world but I am sure that with clear, consistent training he is on the right trajectory 💖🙌

Look at all these pups, proud as punch! And so they should be!

The star of the week for the puppy class went to Ollie. Ollie has improved his focus so much and has learned how to turn his listening ears on! He was almost nose to nose with his best friend Meg and he still turned round to his owner when asked. I was so impressed! Well done Ollie!

Cooper won the star from our 6-12month class. Cooper has come on so much since our first session. He demonstrated excellent impulse control and is really getting the hang of checking in with his owner. Fabulous work this week, Cooper!

I awarded the star from our 12months+ class to Saber. Saber was absolutely fantastic at keeping his focus on his owner, even when winding through obstacles. He looked up at her constantly and his sit stays are so consistent, he absolutely smashed it. Great job, Saber!

🐾 Training with Jess - Ella 🐾

Ella absolutely smashed her 1:1 session last Friday morning—we are so proud of how well she did! I went to collect her and took her out for a walk. Alongside working on her lead reactivity, I’m also focusing on ensuring she walks nicely on the lead for her parents.

During our walk, we did a lot of desensitisation to dogs in the distance, rewarding Ella when she chose to ignore them and move forward. As she was doing so well, I decided to fetch my own dog, Dream, to use as a stooge dog.

Dream was wonderful, as always, and Ella was absolutely perfect. From the moment we brought Dream out of the house, Ella did not bark or react to her once. As we walked her back home, her behaviour shifted from uptight to relaxed, and she seemed genuinely happy having Dream around—such a lovely way to end our session.

I can’t wait to have more sessions with Ella and see where the next few weeks take us!

Both Ella’s parents and I were absolutely delighted with how the session went—it was the perfect way to start my Friday!

30/03/2025

Happy Mother's Day to all those mum's getting training help with for their doggies to give them the best and happiest life! ❤️

We hope you all have a wonderful day, love the Redditch Dog Training team! 🐾

🐾 Training with Jess - Harry 🐾

This afternoon, I went to meet Harry and his parents. Harry is a very handsome Basset Hound who, over the years, has received a lot of unrequited attention due to his looks, putting him in the spotlight—a position he hasn’t been a massive fan of.

Since people are often more interested in giving him a cuddle than paying attention to his warning signs, Harry has escalated from displaying displacement behaviours to indicate his discomfort to lunging and, most recently, biting to make his feelings known.

I had a long chat with Harry and his parents to discuss his behaviour and explain that he has been backed into a corner, which is why he is now reacting this way.

We put together a training plan for them to follow over the next few weeks, and I will check in on their progress. However, I am sure you will ace your training plan, Harry, once humans start to listening to your body language , enjoy the additional treats along the way 💙

🐾 Training with Katharine - Pawgress Report - Mabel 🐾

Last week I went to go and see Mabel for our third session but this time her owners were able to join us.

It was brilliant to get together and go through in person what Mabel and I had been working on. Mabel has been working on her lead reactivity and learning to check in before reacting. She has come on so well 🥰 we have also been working on how to overcome Mabel’s stubbornness as sometimes she likes to park herself if she would rather be walking in another direction 🙈💅

This session was a really great opportunity to communicate all the commands that Mabel had learned and how to effectively put them to use with her owners.

Mabel was so responsive with her owners and it was so lovely to see! We also got to work on new things and I really look forward to hearing about how they get on!

27/03/2025

🐾 Training with Katharine - Cloud 🐾

This evening I got to meet this adorable little pup, Cloud!

His owners had invited me round to get on the right track with regards to biting and toileting in the house.

Cloud is only a baby but it is important to get clear, consistent commands in early to ensure your pup can learn what is expected.

I was so amazed by what Cloud’s owners had already taught him and because he had his learning brain in gear it didn’t take him long to pick up what we were teaching him.

We even mixed it up with a ‘sit, wait’ and he was brilliant!! 🤩

I really look forward to hearing how he gets on, what a little superstar!

26/03/2025

We want to say a massive well done to our 3 babies who all won star of the week in the classes on Monday night!

Katharine was away this week so Jess took over the sessions and loved every minute of being back on the floor with everyone.
It really is so wonderful looking at how far everyone has come from their first sessions 🥹.

Roo won her award in our 6-12 months class after showing off her amazing focus around sit stays and also around food refusal! Roo is such a friendly happy girl who loves to say hello to everyone and sometimes it’s easy to overlook how hard she is trying in her focussing tasks and we really wanted to give her some well deserved time to shine!

Fred won the trophy in the 12 months + class and he really did deserve it this week, the improvement he has made since this first week really is remarkable, he is so much more responsive to his owners and listening to his commands rather than assessing his environment! It’s so lovely to see how far he has come in a short period of time.

Boris won the award in puppy class this week, he really was on his bestest behaviour showing off his sit stays perfectly but not only that his confidence with the other puppies during their “playtime” has come on so much he is bounding around with them happily now and it’s adorable to see!

We can’t wait to see how everyone gets on next week 💜

🐾 Training with Katharine - Leo 🐾

The lovely Leo came to visit me today for a session with his owner.

This was their third session, and I was really excited to see them because I had been hearing all about his wonderful progress.

As Leo is lead-reactive to both dogs and people, we’ve had to take things right back to basics. His owner has found some lovely, quiet places to walk him, allowing him to focus on what’s being asked of him.

Today, at my place, we began introducing some distractions in the form of helpful human volunteers.

Throughout the session, we gradually reduced the distance, and by the end, he was confidently walking along a fence with a person on the other side.

His owner did a fantastic job of keeping his focus and calmly correcting him whenever he got distracted.

Well done, Leo and Megan! I am so proud of you both and can’t wait to see even more progress in our next session. 💪

22/03/2025

🐾 Training with Katharine - Albee 🐾

Over the weekend, I went to meet Albee and his owners.

Albee had been displaying lead-reactive behaviour when out and about and was also reactive to new visitors coming into the house.

As soon as I stepped through the door, it was clear what we were working with, so we headed straight out for a walk to put some training in place.

We focused on giving Albee distance from other dogs, allowing him the mental space to listen to his owners and make better choices. I was really impressed with how he responded and feel it won’t be long before his owners can confidently manage him on walks.

At home, things were a bit more challenging, but again, we worked on giving him space and teaching him that barking wouldn’t make a visitor leave. Instead, he learned to look to his owner for support and reward.

He still has a way to go with this, but I was so impressed with how his owners embraced the challenge.

I look forward to hearing about his progress and seeing him again for our next session in a couple of weeks. 💙

18/03/2025

Well what a week! All the pups tried really hard this week and made choosing our ‘stars of the week’ rather difficult.

We were really impressed, so well done everyone!

Our pick from the puppy class was Fiadh. Fiadh has come on so far in the short time she has been coming to our classes. She has gone from being really suspicious and barky to being much calmer this week and she managed to join the group with some tasks, we were so pleased for her. We were super proud and really look forward to seeing her confidence grow even more!

Our star from the 6 - 12 month class was Ozzy. Ozzy showed amazing focus, checking in with his owner and showing excellent impulse control. He did some excellent sit stays and resisted his treats really patiently. Well done Ozzy!

Ruby got the star from our 12+ months class. She sat perfectly for her owner, even when they had their back turned. She also did some fabulous heel work, keeping focus on her owner and was super responsive. Brilliant work Ruby!

It is so rewarding to see such fantastic progress, we are so pleased with how these pups are doing 🤩

🐾 Training with Jess - Margot & Ethel 🐾

Last week, we went over to meet the lovely Margot and Ethel, along with their dad, to discuss Margot's recent lead-reactive behaviour. As we know these girls very well—they’ve been walking clients of ours for a while—it was a surprise to hear that Margot had started to show reactivity on the lead, as I know her to be such a self-confident dog.

That being said, putting a lead on any dog and making them aware that they cannot run away—removing their "flight" option if they feel they need to in a situation—is a normal reaction for a dog. This is often where lead reactivity can begin.

I went in and spoke to their dad for a quick consultation before heading out to see Margot in action. Of course, she was a little angel and didn’t really display any of the recent lead behaviour she’d been showing her dad! Despite this, we sat down and created a training plan for him to work on over the next couple of weeks, and we’ll be revisiting them soon to see how they’re getting on.

Good luck, Margot! I’m sure your dad will work hard with you, and you’ll both be enjoying your walks again in no time!

17/03/2025

🐾 Training with Katharine - Zero 🐾

Last week I got to go and see Zero for some training. I was super excited for this one because I had Zero for some puppy socials when he was a baby so couldn’t wait to see how he had grown!

Zero’s owners had asked for some help to keep him nice and calm as he is so full of beans it can lead to him acting in a non desirable way.

We looked at ways of ignoring the behaviours we didn’t want to see and praise the behaviours we did want to see.

We also worked on encouraging Zero to check in on his owners to help him control his impulses and learn to think before he acts.

He did so well, he is such a smart cookie and his owners are so dedicated that I am sure it won’t be long until he is the perfect gentleman 🥰 well done, Zero!

15/03/2025

We love hearing from happy owners, and this recent five-star review from Lize is a perfect example of how the right training can make all the difference! 💪🐶

A lovely owner reached out for help, and with the right guidance, their hard work is paying off, and we couldn’t be happier! 👏✨

🐾 Training walks with RDW 🐾 Did you know we offer 1:1 training walks with our individual walkers? If there's something specific you'd like to work on with your pup, we can help! Have a read below about a recent dog that our lovely Mitch took on a few heel work walks - "When I first went out to this gorgeous boy Floki his owners had some concerns over just how much he pulled on his walks! This made their walks less enjoyable, so we worked hard over a couple of weeks and stripped everything back to basics. Floki used to walk on a harness and spring lead, on which he quickly learnt he could pull hard on using his chest, we went back to basics and started with a slip lead to work on his heel work, from this we moved onto the Jencon and from this you could really see the improvements and his understanding of heal progressing beautifully! Our last couple of walks we moved to collar and lead and what a difference it was, still using clicker training and rewarding! The last walk we went to Floki’s favourite field where he was used to being let off lead and running around. We swapped this with a long line and continued with his heel and recall work 👏🏼. Once he understood where the end of the lead was he knew he should stay or come back to the owners when commanded. I am unbelievably proud of Floki and can’t wait to see future videos from his owners, great work Floki you’ve been an absolute pleasure 💙🐶 #dogtraining #dogtraining101 #dogtraininglife #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainingisfun #dogtrainingvideo #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainingvideos #dogtrainingclasses #redditchdogwalking #redditchdogwalkinghq #redditchdogwalkingbusiness
