Loose Lead Walking With Maggie
Some loose lead walking practice with the wonderful Maggie, she did a great job 🐾
Maggie- Puppy Training
This is Maggie, a Dogue De Bordeaux puppy who’s owners contacted me for general puppy training.
We’ve been working on lead walking and controlling excitement around other dogs and people. This was during Maggie’s third session, I think it’s safe to say she’s doing very well🤩
There’s still a way to go, especially with more major distractions, but Maggie is definitely going down the right path!🐾
It’s very important to be patient when training, especially with puppies. It’s very repetitive, but the end result is absolutely worth it!
Please contact me for any training enquiries 🐾
Lead Training - 1 Session
Here is a video of Walter, a Dachshund who’s owner approached me for help with pulling on the lead.
During his assessment visit, Walter was practically pulling his owner all over. He would drag his owner to sniff grass, and would bark and pull towards other dogs and people. During the initial description of Walters behaviour, it seemed as though he was reactive. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case, and all he needed was to learn focus and manners on the end of the lead.
This video was taken from our first session yesterday, and within about 30 minutes Walter was at this point, where he was walking at a heel on a nice loose lead, with very good focus on his owner. All this was done without treats, as Walter is a little bit fussy! So I focused solely on praise, body language and pressure and release.
We still have some work to do, but this result in just one session is remarkable.
