As promised - the follow up video from my last Milo post! 🤍 This video is a shortened version of about 5 minutes of our training session during which you see Milo remaining calm in the constant presence of the large dog standing still, then the large dog moving. We move on to asking Milo to pass by closer to the dog whilst he remains calm. Then we follow the dog, and eventually walk parallel to the dog, moving together and stopping together. 👏
🐾
No drama necessary! Dog training videos shouldn't be about showing you a 'scary', 'aggressive', 'reactive' dog going crazy at everything they see and then 'magically' they are 'perfectly fine'. That is not reality... and I wouldn't want to put Milo in a situation where he felt the need to come out all guns blazing! We don't need to see that in order to learn. 🐾
What you can maybe pick up on (if your volume is up and you watch closely) are the changes in Milo's body language and my response to those changes. In this video I am deliberately giving Milo space on the leash, not pulling on the leash, and I am delivering his treats by dropping them on the ground. I am using the vocal marker "yes!" to let Milo know when he's done something right and should expect a reward (when he disengages from Rex or shows calm), I am also using reassurance when saying "good boy!" and I am giving him some behavioural direction in using the practiced cue "walking!" (his cue for loose leash).
🐾
I hope that you enjoy seeing Milo's progress as much as we did! He came across a few other 'intruding' dogs passing by during the session as well and still managed to progress and show how good he can be by the end. Well done Mr Milo 👍👍👍👍 if you read this far thank you! and please give us a thumbs up - Milo's owner has asked to know how many of you were really watching Milo's journey online!👍👍👍👍

Milo Update 🤍 Milo has been working on his dog reactivity and has had one session with our small females which he did wonderfully. He was not barking, jumping or lunging and in the end he walked calmly alongside two of our girls.
🐾
We decided to move on to working with a large intact male and in this video we are using the little house as a visual barrier whilst we give Milo some space to move calmly on a loose leash. I am asking Milo to move in and out of view of the male dog whilst rewarding calm body language and disengagement with a marker/treats and cueing/rewarding loose leash walking with verbal markers only.
🐾
After this we moved on to walking past the male dog slightly closer a few times without the visual barrier. This went very well so we moved on to our next steps... follow up video to come! 🐕

Milo update! *Please visit our Instagram page for the full video!*
He's doing really well with developing his understanding of 'heel', he can now walk in heel for a longer period of time and 'pivot' in heel. Milo is also a lot calmer and more responsive to whoever is walking him rather than reactive to the environment! 🐦⬛🚘🐩🐕

Milo update! 💚 He can now walk past dogs (and cars) without reacting! In the past he would be barking, crying, lunging, pulling and turning to bite the leash when passing any dogs, especially excitable pups wanting to play like this one! Great job Milo ☺️ He's also doing really well with his heel walking, heel progress video to come!

Longer video version of Milo's 'Week 2' progress where I chat through some of the things we've achieved and show you what he's now like in more stimulating environments. It may not seem like a lot to look at but what we can see is that he's sniffing, pretty relaxed body and face, responding to me (movements and sounds, we are building a bond and communicating), slowing down when asked and listening to (most) cues, which is fabulous for Milo compared to when we first met not so long ago! 🤍

Milo update! During Milo's walks we have been finding quiet areas like this where Milo can calm down and more easily learn some new useful skills for his walks. He has been doing very well at understanding and responding to his marker sound (he's even now turning around and catching his treats mid air as soon as he hears it!), and with his "good walking" (loose leash) so this week we have moved on to practicing walking to heel (for which I use the cue "here")! He has also stopped reacting to traffic (he used to rear up and lunge, barking at passing cars etc), started to feel comfortable enough to toilet on walks and has even had calm greetings with multiple dogs on his walks with me (rather than barking, jumping up and lunging at every dog he sees)! Fantastic progress, let's keep it up ☺️🤍 Go team Milo!

I love these three - here's a little snippet of how they're doing with their recall in the 'teeny field'! 😄 When practicing skills, don't forget the release cue, at the end of this video you hear me saying "okay!" to let them know that they can go play together again! 💚

Hugo successfully using his ramp 🚗 well done on achieving a controlled entrance and exit of the car! Much better for Hugo's joints.
2 week walk training progress - Hugo and Bentley 🤎🤍[Sorry about the wobbly, not great video quality - I'm not the best camera woman at times and unfortunately I don't usually have someone with me to film us!] I've been working with these two together on training walks for only around 2 weeks now and I am proud of how they are doing! From both being strong pullers (along with some other challenges), to both walking 'in heel' by my side like this even around other dogs and people, perfect recall, retrieving nicely for me - to some this tiny video might not show or mean much - but to us this shows great progress! Well done boys 👏 not perfect by any means, but onwards and upwards!

Idea! 💡 Waggy Tail Wednesdays - Would anyone be interested in bringing their dogs along for a 30 minute 'Stay and Play' on a Wednesday lunchtime? Get over the midweek hump with a bit of fresh air whilst letting your dogs socialise and play. As you can see these guys have a great time and the more the merrier! This would be inclusive of dogs big and small, young and old, male or female, starting with these guys right here - Javi, Harry, Narla and Lucipher! 💚💙💜🧡
Included:
⚽️ Toys
💧Water
🏕 Shaded Areas
🏟 Safe Enclosed Field

Please excuse my bedraggled appearance 🤦♀️ I hadn't planned on being a film star but mid-walk today I felt the need to make a little video to say hello and thank you to everyone! 💚
