Whylie was agitated by barking dogs outside so I tried to settle her using .

I can see a few things I can improve but I’m getting better the more I practise.

Thank you Rose for this amazing course!

I really enjoy teaching Mantrailing but sometimes a gal needs a day off just to play with her friends.

You may have already guessed- I really love being a trail layer!

A stigma still exists around dogs wearing muzzles or more specifically our own dogs wearing a muzzle.

I am part of a growing group of trainers who are using and recommending muzzles more and more

A dog may need to be taught to feel comfortable in their muzzle which may require a period of gentle adjustment however the benefits can be life changing, or literally life saving.

A muzzle gives you much needed confidence for managing reactive and aggressive dogs in training scenarios or in social settings when your dog is around children, the vet or visitors to the home.

Preventing bites is the most important part of my job as a trainer working with aggressive dogs, not only for my clients but also for their dogs.

Here is a tool that can assist with managing this. The question is, why wouldn't we want to use a muzzle?

Dearest Biggles has just moved from a farm to a small town house and he is barking at everything and everyone.

His 80 year old mum and dad have never done any dog training, so where do we start!

First we determine the cause of the barking.
Biggles is clearly out of sorts from the move and living in the suburbs means dog, people and wheelie bins are much closer than he cares for.

Our training plan looks at probiotics, environmental management and desensitisation to build a calm and relaxed dog who the neighbours will soon fall in love with.

Finn the Mantrailing Maremma.

She is getting so confident.

She likes to be sure, so she starts out slowly but when she knows, she knows!

Look at his face!

Pablo has recently been rehomed and he is very happy and I would say a little in love with his new mumma.

While he is a relaxed dog around the house, vet and in the car he is a handful on walks. With significant reactivity making him difficult and sometimes scary to walk in the suburbs.

I will be working with Pablo over the coming months and will endeavour to record his journey on the road to recovery.
