I just wanted to share this lovely story 🐶🐶🥰

I did a one-on-one session with the fabulous senior Boxer Riley and Bridie the Boxer pup about a month ago where the issue was Riley being able to accept another dog in the household.

Riley has never been very good around other dogs which his family had managed well up until the gorgeous wee Bridie was introduced into the family!

The great news is that with some good structure and allowing Riley to build his confidence with Bridie the family is now getting along beautifully 🥰

Needless to say, Riley and Bridie's Mum and Dad are absolutely over the moon 💞

Thank you so much for the update and allowing me to share your story ❤️

I caught up for a one-on-one session with the gorgeous Narla on Monday and I just had to share the awesome trick she has 🐶❤️❤️

Narla loves to sing and if her owners sing or hold a tune Narla joins in, just gorgeous 🥰

Just back from an amazing one-on-one session with a fabulous owner and her lab. Her lab is a wee bit reactive when she sees other dogs where she is vocal, and can pull and lunge towards them. Once out on the walk we had a lovely lady and her lab come past and was only too keen to help us work through this behaviour with my client's dog, within minutes the pair of them were sitting nicely beside each other and even had a brief head to head meet and greet. Not long after another lady came along with their Lab and allowed us to do the same process.

What I love the most about this session is the fact that now my client has a wee group of dogs that she will be able to walk together with regularly, which is amazing for her and her dog💕

The power of the dog 🐶and bringing people together and connecting communities, I just love this 🥰
