Fantastic update with my clients! Due to lack of socialisation m Bonnie developed some slight fear reactive behaviour towards people.
Throught the use of counterconditioning, behaviour modification and operant conditioning PR techniques we were able to create an end goal for Bonnie. The best part about this session was I was able to reassure Bonnies owners and teach them how to treat her behaviour!
Another Fabulous weekend and Sligo International and National show.

Lovely start to the year! Thank you Sligo and District Canine Club for organising the venue and thank you to the judges for thinking so highly of Duke.
He did such a good job!

Musical Chairs with Dogs! Delighted with my students put in the deep end today. We covered heel work, counterconditioning, focus, sit and wait. All with distractions! A fabulous exercise!
My Ying and Yang. Always up to no good.
Oh so handsome! 14 months ❤️.
First time with no saddle, I was over the moon! 😂 Took about 20 minutes to get on but it was worth it 🤣🤣
At the weekend I got to meet the lovely Sasha and her owners Ollie and Karen! Well to say it was a successful session is an understatement!
Sasha’s owner’s contacted me for issues regarding lead pulling and reactivity towards cars! Reactivity towards cars in shepherd’s is quite common so we tackled both problems using systematic desensitisation and counter conditioning with positive reinforcement!
All we had to do was establish Sasha’s threshold of reactivity and worked from there and then we applied focus!
Sasha did not pull on the lead once with me or her owners and she did not react to cars. Well done to her owners, they did a fabulous job! Safe to say Sasha was knackered after the training.
It’s like Sasha never had an issue in the first place! 😆
In 2020 a study conducted by the PDSA, a chain of UK veterinary hospitals, reported lead pulling to be one of the most common unwanted behaviour that owners wanted to change in their dogs. (Another is reactivity, but that’s a story for another day).
Lead pulling has serious implications for a dog’s welfare.
Lead pulling itself, and equipment and training used to address it, may have direct and indirect consequences for impaired welfare, including pain, fear, injury, disease, reduced outlets for canine behavioural expression and diminished pet–owner attachment (Townsend et al., 2020)
The most successful method to deal with lead pulling without causing fear or pain while systematically enriching and strengthening the relationship between dog and owner is with the use of positive reinforcement and classical conditioning, which I may point our doesn’t always involve treats.

A lot clients ask me how do I stop my dog from pulling towards other dogs. This is your answer, focus training and counter conditioning. As a trainer it is always beneficial to have another training dog to implement reality to show the owner that the exercise can work. This exercise allows your dog to think for themselves and problem solve “rather than paying attention/ reacting or looking at another dog, they will willing choose to work with you and maintain focus. Yes we use food for this exercise to build the foundation of the behaviour, however, we ask the dog to work more for less rewards once it’s implemented. We also use toys and praise for reinforcement to maintain the dogs focus. Loose lead work, no aversion methods like choke chains, prong collars or pulling. Always work with a dogs threshold. I enjoyed working with Alfie and was delighted at how quickly he too to the training. #dogtraining #dogbehaviour #counterconditioning #looseleadwork #canecorsofans #canecorsolove #newfoundlandsofinstagram #newfoundlanddog
Please don’t mind my outfit, I’m constantly surrounded by animals. Look at the little man go in distracted environments. Too clever! #dogsofinstagram #dogtraining101 #dogtrainer #dogtrainingtips #dogbehaviour #canecorso #canecorsolife #canecorsopuppy
Freddie has the best recall of any boxer I’ve came across. Hard work pays off! #boxerdog #boxerpuppy #dogsofinstagram #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtraining101 #boxersofinstagram
No more Pulling! We are using positive reinforcement based training and rewarding Charlie for checking in with his owner Emma which is solving nag his pulling issue. Fantastic results. After a while we ask Charlie to increase his steps and the amount of times he checks in using the same amount of food reward and doing this reducing his food intake while training. #irishdog #irishdogsofinstagram #irishdogtrainer #dogtraining #dogtrainingtips #dogtrainer #dogtrainingadvice #irishdogtraining #labrador #labradorretriever #chocolatelab
