Surely this isn't the same dog... 🫣

Lilly knows exactly where she is going, however the way she was anticipating going most certainly wasn't the way to go about crossing the road.

It had to be addressed there and then. Within a few minutes you can see the result. Just look at the focus she is giving her owner. Remarkable really.

Just to give you a bit more context to this video. Lilly has done this route many times, and she knows the field we are heading towards, and has a positive association to this field, however the way she was going about crossing the road wasnt ideal.

She also has a bit of reactivity towards other dogs in vicinity of her space, but the moment that toy come out, she has all the focus and attention anyone needs. But we cannot have a toy whilst walking along the pavement, it just isn't feasible. So, question is how do we address this without using a toy or sweets especially when she is in high state of arousal or for the matter anxious about the situation. A dog won't necessarily take a sweet in this state of mind, so what's the alternative... voice, guidance, communication is vital. So praise was all was needed in this clip.

The difference truly was remarkable 👏🏻 🙌

Well done team Lilly 🤩🎓

Lilli did amazing, she had showed off her skills at her favourite stomping ground. She had the best company with Raffi and our newest student of Canine Academy ...

Lilli has a boyfriend that lives next door to her and we spotted him walking behind us. The owners of the dog were so confused that surely that couldn't possibly be Lilli... walking really nicely and ignoring her boyfriend 🤭

Well done poppet, really proud of you 👏🏻

Some positive feedback from Tangos mum...on a blustery day 🌬

This was moments after Bean and Tango were enjoying a playful moment with one another.

You also notice that Barney boy had joined in on the walk.... more to this coming soon 🤩😏

Looks like Mr Bean had quite the workout! 💪🏼

Who knew a malinois could be such a handful, but hey, no pain no gain, right? 🐕‍🦺 It's all worth it when you see that beautiful pup giving it his all and becoming the obedient superstar we always knew he could be.

I mean, seriously, obedience, toy retrieval, place command, heel work, reversing, step up and step back and forward, ball throwing, emergency stops, AND flirt pole action? In just 30 minutes? That's some serious multitasking, Mr Bean is like the James Bond of dog training! 🐾

And after all that hard work, he's exhausted but happy? That's the ultimate sign of a job well done. I mean, who needs a personal trainer when you've got a malinois keeping you on your toes, am I right? 🤣

But hey, it's a two-way street, right? I needed this just as much as Mr Bean did. It's like a little therapy session for both of us, bonding over training and pushing each other to be the best we can be. 🥰

So, here's to more sessions of sweat, tears, and triumphs with your furry partner in crime. He certainly teaches me a few things or two... ! 😉

Trust the process...

Please read first to get a real understanding of the context of this video. 👇🧐

This boy, has come on so much over the months on his severe reactivity towards other dogs.

The video was at least a month or so ago, and well, I'm now catching up on all my vids.

This boy has worked with me for months to get this far. To be walking alongside two other dogs.

We started initially in his home town, to become neutral to his triggers, working with his arousal when he spots other dogs, on and off lead.. he was more frustrated than anything, he sadly didn't get out as much as a Staffy should.

I am aware of where the line is situated. I was holding the line initially and then letting go momentarily to observe his behaviour to assess the reactions in different circumstances. This was at the end of our walk and were walking back to the car which wasn't far.

If you have any specific concerns or issues regarding the moment in the video where I wasn't holding the line, it may be best to address this privately to further discuss and clarify any potential misunderstandings you may have.

Well, the video speaks volumes considering the level of reactivity he had, and this being the first outing with the boys.

He is muzzled for safety as he does get mouthy when playing. Safety comes first.

Yes, you caught me red-handed, or should I say red-eared?! 🦻🏼 That moment in the video where I uttered a firm "no" was indeed a crucial moment in the saga of Barney and Tango. It was like watching a high-stakes poker game, except instead of cards, we had ears twitching...

So, what did those ears of his reveal, you ask? Well, let me break it down for you. As Barney's ears perked up, signaling his alertness to the situation at hand. But as soon as Tango simmered down and Barney felt the tension dissipate, those same ears drooped back down, a sign of his relief and relaxation. 🐶😌

I will be posting up another clip of Barney with Bean and you'll see the difference he's made between this video and the next on his engagement, his body language.

Well done Barney boy 👏🏻

Two reactive dogs together... they did immensely

It can be done with appropriate introductions, and more importantly - neutrality and no pressure on either parties involved.

Barney for the first time with Tango.

These boys have their own issues and they both overcome with support from both owners and consistent work. They would never have been together if I didn't think that their owners have put their homework into practice.

Well done boys 🤗 so proud of what you have achieved 👏🏻

Mr Bean came to help assess some reactivity with the gorgeous Lilly. Can anyone guess her breed 🤔

They really enjoyed eachothers company. Lilly did really well to acclimate with another dog in the prescence of her and her owners.

She'd pull towards dog, crouch down or would just stop dead to observe the dog before reacting to the triggers.

Lilly learned to just be in the prescence of another dog, enjoyed being part of play. Helping her owners read her body language in more depth. When to address the situation, putting her in a more comfortable situation. We also touched on long line work.

Worked on her impulses especially if and when Bean was engaged with me with the toy, while her owners were testing her recall. She did immense for her first meet with Mr Bean.

Well done Lilly 👏🏻

Welcoming a really yummy new student...

Can you guess the breed I wonder... 🤔🥹

He's been an absolute legend of a student so far at Canine Academy 🎓

I will say that it truly is an honour to have such an opportunity to take care of this yummy beaut. This breed can be aloof around strangers.

Welcome Apollo to the Academy
