Three dogs.
Three very different struggles.
One really proud trainer 🐾
What a way to kick off 2026 🙌🏻
Ella, a beautiful spaniel, had a trickier start to the world, with a lack of socialisation.
She fell onto her paws with her family though!
This very nervous girly smashed over half of the session, showing some really lovely engagement and doing lots of calm sniffing 🙏🏻
When owners know their dogs and know when to call it a day, we find success a lot sooner.
There is no shame in saying “they’ve had enough” and ending on a good note 🥰
Pepper is also a more nervous lady. She gets quite overwhelmed and has some super big feelings about it!
We worked on engagement, being neutral around other dogs and changing up her reward cycle.
She absolutely aced the session!
She had some big, loud feelings, but we adapted and got her feeling excited and keen to work, rather than being hyper alert to the world 👏🏻
We also spent time talking about body language and watching for those subtle changes.
Then last, but not least… Nellie!
Nellie and her mum worked on staying calm around other dogs and loose lead walking.
And wow, did they do well!
Nellie picked it up so fast and by the end of the session she was walking like a little pro.
Fully focused on her mum and not caring about what everyone else was up to 🙌🏻
So proud of this bunch!
Our Social Dog Club is becoming such a lovely little community for owners to come together, learn and support their dogs in a calm, controlled and neutral environment 💚
