Case 16 (for year 2025)
Main focus; a miniature dachshund 1 year old, missed a key socialisation period and was perry much house bound for 2 months last year.

Problem; now barks at everything relentlessly, people coming into the house, as bird in the garden, people waking by, dogs and people on walks.

The home visit element was done yesterday to establish what is going on, view the behaviour, start the training and implement some clear guidelines and communication, as well as some leadership.

Results (so far); Owner now able to stop the barking at visitors on one command, the same with things in the garden and barking at people through the gate. A more peaceful village already. Plenty of praise and reward is now coming to the dog and they are showing signs of being calmer already. Job role removed .... mostly.

Next is to put into practice the training for out on walks, and after that a trip to a pub or café to get to the owners wish and end goal.

Pic note: Dog would normally be jumping all over guests and climbing on them, once the barking stopped. Not long into my visit, and training started immediately, dog decided it was fine to just relax and have a nap - to much praise and attention.

Case no.15
I started the week with 2x Cairn Terriers who were reacting to dogs walking by when the owners tried to sit and have a coffee. It had gotten to the stage where said owners no longer took their dogs out with them to nice places as they couldn't control the dogs' tag teaming barking. We had already done the first part of training via a home visit to ensure the dogs were getting the right messages about what their role should be - just be a dog, no job needed here. So now for the tester, could we sit and enjoy a coffee? After some preparation training, within 45 minutes we were sat outside a busy coffee shop surrounded by no less than 6 dogs, 2 of which sat right next us - the very dogs 5 minutes earlier as they walked by the 2 Cairns reacted at. It was all about giving the right cues and clear communication and the owners were thrilled. Over to them now to practice before we catch up with a progress report in a couple of weeks' time.

By following a straight forward programme together we can solve any issue.

A pic from arrival at yesterday's Dog Behaviour Case.

Turns out, she was a lovely dog that had just taken charge of situations through simple mis-messages from her owners. This resulted in her appearing aggressive, but in her mind she was just doing the 'job' she had been given. By the end of my 2-hour visit the owners were much clearer on why she was exhibiting the behaviour, as well as how they can change it quickly. Essentially they will take the 'jobs' their dog thinks they have. Part of this was to make sure her daily activities around the home had a bit more structure, but more importantly, no longer happened on her terms.

These changes help the dog to relax more and generally be calmer, which for me signals a happy and content dog. This was apparent 30 minutes into the visit when she stopped trying all her tricks for attention and decided the best thing to do was just relax. For the next 1.5 hours she had a nice snooze whilst we gave her attention at the right times.

Together we then did a short training session and pretty much stopped the continuous barking at the door and growling when it opened - hence the sign on the door.
It won't be long until that can come off for good.

The next step is some outdoor training to go alongside this to help with aggression towards other dogs.

Now, onto the next one .....

Happy Dog Training.
