It was a big day for these two beauts today. They have been walked on a flexi due to a lack of confidence they would stick around. Today we ditched the flexi's and discovered that a tennis ball gave the owner even better control.
The dogs were markedly less interested in the owner on flexis but off lead and ball in hand the owner was all powerful. Control what your dog wants and Control your dog.🥎🥎 🥎🥎🐕🐕

Our last session with Wal the Bedlington last night. This little guy didn't realise his owner was actually with him on walks. 4 sessions later and that has definitely changed.😁

Changing habits with this beautiful Italian man this morning. Let a bracco make its own entertainment at a distance and it will. The handler is just along for the ride. This boy is a classic don't walk the dog example. Engage with, him play with him and work him. The contrast you get in behaviour is stark.
Love working with one of my breeds.🇮🇹

Hector's recall although brilliant now has been a real labour of love. I reckon it took him a good 18 months to get this. He would run away at any opportunity when he arrived and being a hound would get his nose down and stick up the proverbial two fingers. Recall and keeping your dog with you is more than just a skill, it's a relationship marker. Think our relationship is kinda good.🐾❤️❤️❤️
