Following the completion of their training on todays session, Bruno's guardians have demonstrated remarkable progress.

From addressing initial puppy behaviors to navigating the complexities of adolescence, they have excelled in fostering their young companion's confidence. Through the application of appropriate skills and positive reinforcement, they are effectively managing the typical challenges of teenage canine behavior, showcasing exceptional dedication.

It is a pleasure to witness the progress of my clients and their ability to forge strong bonds with their dogs.

Attached is a photograph shared by his guardian following our session; is he not adorable?

Sad times if this is the standard the government is setting for animals in ireland.

'This is a daily occurrence in Limerick city and county and charities are powerless to protect these horses'

Let's be proactive ⚠️

When practising recall, unless you're getting your dog coming back every time longlines are great management, you should still always wear a longline, especially in these situations so your dog doesn't practice this behaviour of not coming back.

If your dog still has an amazing recall and has been around animals, his or her whole life the sheep or wildlife don't know that and every dog there's still a chance to chase and lambs ,farmers or wildlife pay the price for ignoring these precautions or notices at the entrance of these places. Let's not ruin these areas for everyone else walking them too and so we can continue.

Be mindful, and have a great walk by adding a longline to your walk kit and treats.

Want help on a solid recall or how to make walks more fulfilling for you and your dog to get in touch.

Off lead parks ie are a safe way to let your dog off lead without worrying about anyone. Just fun way to practice that recall, too 😀
