It was lovely meeting Fennec and he did really well on the initial session. The guttural correction is an excellent way to refocus a dog and works better than any words. We weren’t however able to focus much on lead work due to torrential rain, so we fill focus on this on his first follow up session. This is why the support guarentee works so well. Looking forward to catching up with all soon in a few weeks.

As always, I really enjoyed meeting Albert, Mazey and their parents. I was asked to help improve some of Albert’s behaviours, but it became clear that their older dog Mazey was partially the route cause, and in order to have a calmer Albert, they also needed to work with his older sister. Both dogs responded really well on their initial session and I am delighted to hear that they are both behaving and listening better. Keep up the good work!

Following covid I have met a lot of foreign rescue dogs and in the main they tend to be more nervous than the average UK rescue and the majority are more nervous of males than females. The session went really well and she did really well on her walk, although we didn’t encounter many other dogs on the walk. This is why follow up support is so important as we can plan a walk where we will encounter more dogs in a controlled way. Follow upon sessions are also important to make sure the family are being consistent with their daily ground rules etc. Looking forward to catching up with them all in the future.

Merryn is a lovely dog who really wants to please, but gets very excited on walks and pulls like a train. Although I find it relatively easy to teach owners to teach their dogs to walk to heel on a slack lead, I believe it is also important to look at everything else that they do both in and out of the home. The better a dog listens inside, the better they will listen to an owner on a walk. Can’t wait to catch up with them both in a few weeks.

Really enjoyed this session and I was delighted with how well Ellie did. I’ve had feedback since to let me know that everything is moving in the right direction.

Really enjoyed meeting Obi and his family and Obi did really well. I am meeting more and more dogs that worry when left alone and it can take a while to resolve this behavioural issue, but with some hard work and some consistent ground rules, we can definitely teach a dog that they don’t have to worry when left alone. Looking forward to catching up with them all.

I love multi dog jobs as its really interesting to see how dogs interact and how they frequently mirror each other’s behaviours. After a slightly challenging start, as one of the dogs was quite vocal, I was delighted with how well they both did! By the end of the session there we certainly far less chatting from the dogs. Can’t wait to catch up in a few weeks to see how that are both doing.

I loved meeting Archie - he wis such a lovely dog with an amazing temperament. Overall Archie was already a really well behaved dog, but there were a couple of things his owner needed help with. By the time we had done some work around the home and got Archie listening even better to his owner, we managed to sort the other issues. Sometimes it just needs another pair of eyes to resolve issues.
