Many of my clients are teachers so it's been a busy week of one to ones this week with it being half term.
We've had Poppy the Newfoundland, Pip and Billy the Borderpoos, Norma the Breton, Zeppie the Labrador and Lola the Labrador.
We've looked at safe control of Poppy who can panic and go into a flight response along with confidence building strategies for her.
Pip and Billy have been learning to walk nicely on a lead, not bark at everything and come away from distractions.
Norma has been learning impulse control, not to react to movement or shout about everything when she gets excited
Zeppie has been learning, impulse control, listening skills and settle without food.
Lola did some heelwork and placeboard training and learned some new games around tennis balls and bringing them back to her owners.
Across this week's group we've used the dopamine box for both confidence building and managing arousal and reward specific markers for developing listening skills and functional arousal.
Here's Zeppie and Lola
