A few months ago, Jack here could not be trusted off lead, he’d pick and choose when he wanted to listen and completely switch off to his handler when he saw another dog!
Now Jack is thriving with the freedom he has been given due to the reliability in his commands!
Check out this long distance recall away from sniffs!
Not only that, but Jack is now progressing to off lead obedience!
We are super proud of how far Jack and his handler had come through their training journey!
Recall can be one of the harder things to teach our dogs due to other competitors like sniffs, other dogs and people so it’s important that when teaching your recall you make it as fun as possible!
For little Milo here, he loved a game of being the piggy in the middle!
Would you believe that young Jack here has the tendency to be frustration/leash based reactive towards other dogs? You wouldn’t even be able to tell that there was also a dog behind the camera either he was so focused on his Heel walking!
Jack has also recently moved into the “Proofing” stage of his training, which means introducing high level distractions and increasing expectations (though due to the heat, we kept it easy today!)
Cant wait to see where this boys trainings at in 6 months time!
There’s is a stigma around dogs that wear muzzles! People tend to assume that a dog is “aggressive” though there are many reasons a dog could be wearing a muzzle!
In Jacks case, he has the tendency to pick things up in the garden that he shouldn’t! After a few vet trips Jacks owners decided that teaching him a muzzle command would be beneficial! That way Jack can still be involved in outside activities that aren’t directly related to him like gardening!
Jack has recently moved into the second phase of freeshaping his muzzle which involves waiting for a little more duration in holding his nose in!
He’s such a smart boy and you can see he absolutely loves his Freeshaping sessions!
Taz has moved into the Proofing stage of his training! Lots of distractions around and yet he’s nailing his Heel as well as his recall!
Only 6 months old and only going to keep getting better!
Macy has recently moved into the ”Proofing” stage of her training! Which means ramping up the environmental distractions! She did brilliant with all the new distractions she’s never seen before and also did a great job doing some settling work at a Cafe!
We are so proud of Macy and the progress herself and her owners have made in the short few months of working with us!
We know that taking your dog for a walk is a key part of dog ownership so let us help you make those walks enjoyable and easy for you!
Giving Enzo structure and expectations on his walks by teaching him a Heel command has helped him grow into a lovely balanced dog as well as making his walks fun and enjoyable for him by not just physically stimulating him but mentally as well!
Woohoo! Check out our two Board and Train dogs Loki and Rolo practising their Heel walking together! Pack walks help encourage dog neutralisation as well as help reinforce the Heel position when another dog distraction is involved!
Only a week into their 5 week course, they are both progressing beautifully!
