Moss had unusual training requirements - she was obsessed with the cat and refused to walk on walks.
Her mam sent me this video two days after our session. Moss has been for two walks today and they’ve both enjoyed them, which hasn’t been the case for a long while now.
We also managed to stop Moss obsessing over the cat.
It’s early days, but we seem to be in going in the right direction!
Dog reactive to calm and making friends
Luna was quite reactive - to people at the door, dogs on lead and especially off lead.
After one session she was calmer at the door, after two she was good with other dogs on the lead and better with them off. After three she was actually watching other dogs play fetch and not responding. This is huge progress, as sometimes just seeing a dog could trigger her.
This is just a short vid of the aftermath of her sniffing nose to nose with two dogs off the lead and making friends - unheard of before our sessions. Unfortunately I only got one dog in the video!
What a great way to end 2022 and set her in new stead for 2023

Freddie finding his apple
15 Things to Train in 15 Weeks eBook sales have been very popular! Covered is all sorts, including what you see clever little Freddie doing here - finding an object (in this case an apple). We actually got to the next stage in this training session - hiding it where he can’t see it. What a super star. 🌟 🐕
For the next week only I’m selling it 50% off to everyone rather than just clients of mine. This is £7.50 rather than £15. If you want it, send me a message so I can get it to you.

Ralph had developed a few issues with barking at people and dogs. He (and his parents 😉 ) were also struggling a bit with him coming back when called. Barking at pubs was another big issue so we got to do a trip to the pub as part of one of our one to ones 😊 Heel was also an issue.
Now the barking is on the way out and much much better. Recall is sorted, as is heel. And him and his parents can go to pubs now, stress-free.
Look at Ralph come back when called!
Watch Willow recall 😍
Willow doesn’t have many issues - she’s only 5.5 months old!
But she has been rather unresponsive with her mum, and recently started barking at strangers and foreign dogs.
Because she’s young and the behaviour isn’t very ingrained it didn’t take long to stop her barking at strangers and dogs - one session in fact (a half a day one).
I love these quick fixes!
We also addressed why she’s unresponsive to her parent and what to do about it. There are habits (from her mum mainly 😉 ) to break but huge improvements were seen.
Had such a great advanced session today. Ace just aced it
Poppy usually leaps like superman over the shoulder when she’s recalled but she didn’t quite time the leap right this time. Think she was exhausted after play group! 😂
