Usually Nugget and Elsie used to bark at each other, when they pass each other in the main hall of their apartment complex. After a succesfull encounter on neutral terrain, I decided to put it to the test to make sure that both owners can pass each other in the main hall, without to have worries about tension or possible escalation between the dogs. Of course my dog Ringo was also there to share the fun.
An incredible achievement for Tara again: being approached by two dogs simultaneously, while we're out with the pack. Note that Tara is on the leash. To go from maximum fear agression to full tolerance on the leash, that is something very special.
This is the first time in the rehabilitation process, where I was able to allow social interaction with another dog with both Bep and Tara together. This is the result of a few years preparations, exercise and endless repetitions, where I had to work first 1-on-1, so I could break the pack behaviour, aside from Tara's fear / trauma. Now, I walk them together with Bully and my dog Ringo in the park (during the recording, the owner of Bond was holding Ringo and Bully). Still we aren't there yet, but we have made amazing progress so far. Looking forward to further progress!!!
Another beautiful coaching session with a wonderful result: founding the basis for the long run, bringing dog and human closer to each other. Instead of being frustrated and kept away from other dogs, enjoying their walks carefree. The owners could not believe it. But most important: acknowledging and respecting Nugget's need to have her own place inside the family, to be more involved when everyone is at home and together. Nugget will also join my 1-on-1 walking service as an extra backbone. To be continued.
Tara enjoys too much after making friends with two female Beagles.
Tara enjoyed being together with Charlie and Lana.
The more I work with Tara, the more I see a dog that asks for direction.

Tara (the dark brown dog) is afraid of other dogs, but she reacts positively to Ringo from the start, without tension. In my opinion, her behavior towards Ringo shows that Tara is able to be guided in her trauma with other dogs. Anxiety within dogs can involve strong emotions that are sometimes not immediately apparent through body language and people tend to look for symptoms rather than the actual cause. Dogs have a soul too.
Enjoying the walk together. Cuties.

Een kijkje achter de schermen - Angel de fietskar uit en in sturen terwijl ik op de fiets blijf (work-in-progress).
Angel, een hond die alleen maar wilt volgen en voor 100% gaat, krijgt bij mij de ruimte om het ook 100% goed te doen. Sterker nog, ik zorg ervoor dat zij het 100% goed doet. Dat anderen het anders zien en hun kortzichtige mening opdringen en niet in staat zijn zichzelf boven hun eigen perceptie te plaatsen zoals 90% van de trainers en hondenscholen waaronder gediplomeerd, die alle honden in 1 methode proberen te proppen en daarbij geen rekening houden met de individuele hond is precies wat ik steeds maar tegenkom bij coachings en is precies hetgeen dat mij onderscheid van de rest. Ik ga voor een specifieke benadering op basis van emotie en gedrag. Haters kunnen nog zo laag of hoog springen wat zij willen, ik weet waar ik voor sta en laat mij niet gekmaken door kritiek van anderen die niet de moeite willen nemen zich in mij te verdiepen en mij volledig te begrijpen voordat zij tot deze uitingen komen. Toch grappig dat mijn klanten alleen maar positief zijn en degenen waar ik niks mee te maken heb negatief. Wie zou het nou beter weten ;)
