The reason that your reactive dog goes from 0 - 60 in a split second is because you haven't created enough opportunities for him to practice using more subtle, early communication signs.

Correct Assessments matter!!
If your Dog Trainer is standing there, watching your dog in full-on reactive-mode and saying, "Yeah, so this is what he does then, is it??" as your dog is barking & lunging then you need a new Dog Trainer ....

Do you ever punish your dog?

What even *is* a punishment??

We automatically think of the obvious, harsh, awful things such as using a prong collar or an electric collar or hitting the dog with a stick and because you don't ever do any of those things you will confidently say, "Oh no, I never use punishment on my dog, I love him to pieces!!"

But what about if your dog is lunging at other dogs & barking as you walk past them.

What do you do?

I've absolutely LOVED working with this little face over the past few months.
Iris started her one-2-one Training a few months ago as a crazy, bitey, jumpy, puppy who used to redirect her frustration at her humans and we just continued her training to include recall, greeting other dogs politely and just generally learning how to be a good girl.
Her folks have worked so hard with her and she is SUCH a clever girl..

Well done, Iris, I'm so proud of you

Resource Guarding is a very natural & normal behaviour.
We all do it!
No one likes it when we have something which we consider to be valuable and then someone else tries to take it - think about it! We'd all snap if a burglar tried taking our TV or if the Waiter tried taking our plate of food away before we'd finished it or if someone walked up to you in the the street and started going through your bag / wallet .... We ALL resource guard our valuable items ..... But ... When dogs do it, it can make living with them very difficult:

I Bloomin' love this.
This little cutie is Lenny and he has been having some one-2-one Training to help with his Resource Guarding - he steals items and can get snappy when you try to take them away from him.
We've been working on that around the home and yesterday, we went outside to practice around the random objects he finds plus, his mum said he can sometimes be a bit submissive around dogs .... So ... Off to the Park, we went!!

We worked on meeting his needs and making sure he has something which he *is* allowed to carry in his mouth and he just relaxed into such a happy, goofy , playful little boy. We saw another dog and he was absolutely perfect in his greeting but Lennys absolute favourite thing was realising that he could just play around with his mum and not worry about anything else.

Just look at him.
So happy.
We focus so much on the training sometimes and try to fix everything but there's a huuuuuge benefit to just enjoying each others company, playing around, being silly and living your best Lenny-Life 🐾🐾🐾🐾

We specialise in aggression cases, particularly with Rescue Dogs and, I have a special admiration for the larger breeds - my own dog weighs in at 85kg (he was also a rescue dog and was aggressive in his early days)

Our Behaviour Modification Plan is a gradual desensitisation programme which works by changing the emotional response in the dog from "AARRGGHHHH!!" to "Meh! Whatever!!"
We don't guarantee that your dog will best friends with other dogs or people but we can help him to feel better at the sight of other dogs / people and we can help him to cope better in those tricky situations.

The goal is never to SILENCE your dog once he is already reacting but it is to listen to him / understand him / figure out exactly what is going on and by reading his body language we can learn to step in to help him BEFORE the reacting starts.

Correct Assessments are vital.
You can book your Assessment for £120 or you can include it within a Block of 3 or 6 Training & Behaviour Sessions.
