MONDAY NIGHT PACK WALK 🐾

What a team 🤩

Rhodesian Ridgeback 🤩

This dog came to me having previously worked with another “trainer”. 10 sessions were carried out and the dogs issues did not improve 🙄

Owner knew a new route was needed before the problems escalated. The dog was reactive to strangers, dogs it didn’t know and horses.

After just a couple session, massive improvements have been made. Not only can she be around horses, she can now be off lead and around other dogs.

Furthermore, after only 2 group sessions, she was participating OFF LEAD aswell around strange dogs and strange people 🤝

This owner has been a credit to her dog, working her socks off to achieve these amazing results and never giving up.

We are only half way through the training journey and already achieved so much ✅

Say what you want about balanced methods, but the evidence speaks for itself. Transforming reactive dogs into balanced, confident dogs that can have off lead freedoms ✅

Well done guys, smashed it 👏🏻

🇨🇳Chinese Red Dog X Neapolitan Mastiff 🇨🇳

The first time I have had the privilege to train this type of dog. Zeus is only 18 months old and he is an absolute TANK 🤯 approximately 55kg 💪🏻

His owners have not been able to take him a a walk in over 6 months due to his power, reactivity and unpredictable nature. As a result he doesn’t really know how to behave outside.

He was nearly going through the window whenever anyone walks past, bulldozing anyone that came into the house and honestly … you could have strapped a bus to him and he would have pulled it down the street 🆘

Owners had tried loads of things but nothing was working and he was impossible to control, to the point it was actually becoming very serious as he was almost causing harm.

One session with him, and we have him walking to heel, walking past people and not acting like a nut-job at the window 🤝

Owners couldn’t believe their eyes, he was like a totally different dog.

Only the start of this powerhouses journey, keep your eyes peeled for it unfolding. I can’t wait for this one 😎

Just a wee heads up to f**k wits who let their dogs off lead with ZERO RECALL … 🫠

1. Nobody cares if your dogs “friendly”, if it’s going to go steaming up to an on-lead dog then get it called back ❌

2. If your boggin golden retriever, that’s covered in muck and s**t, is going to JUMP ALL OVER me because I have a wee bag of treats then come collect it before it gets dragged back to you. Standing 20 feet away for 5 minutes going “ awww Jenny Camon get off that man your not getting treats” while laughing may result in your being flung in the loch 🫠 f**k off and take Jenny with ye 🖕

3. Your whole “ awch they need to learn “ ! No they f**king don’t, my dog will not “LEARN” F**kall from your untrained, ill-mannered, bratty c**t of a dog apart from maybe learning how to be a C**T !

4. Walking past on the phone while your dogs come STEAMING into us barking and yapping may result in me allowing the reactive Dutch Shepard of his lead … then we will see if the phone still gets your attention 🫠

All this before 2:30pm on a Wednesday 🙃 the patience the general public are requesting of me today is wearing thin, so many absolute idiots who have ZERO clue about what it takes to own a dog.

At least have some common sense ya f**kwits 👍

Couldn’t have put it any better 👏🏻 if your dog lunges at people, growls at your children or poses any threat to the general public then is should be muzzle trained !

It should also be treated with severity.

2 weeks ago I asked a client “ in your opinion, do you think your dog would ever bite someone ?” It had been lunging at people but they told me “ NOOO not a chance he would never do that !”

I could tell within 30 seconds what the dogs intentions were and 10 minutes later the dog attempted an attack on my leg. Luckily, I could see it coming and managed to avoid injury.

An experienced trainer who has dealt with aggression isn’t cheap and if you are serious about sorting these issues then it is an investment but you have to take it seriously !!!

In the last almost 10 years I've been to so many aggressive dogs.
Most I've helped live a happier more normal life.
We can't help them all though. Some it's out with the clients budget, timescales or it's just not the best place for that particular dog.

As many will know I try my best to make allowances for budget.. occasionally doing free or reduced sessions if it means saving the dog.

It's actually quite stressful being lunged at or attacked 3-4 times per day. Particularly annoying when people don't take the aggression seriously.

What's most annoying is that sometimes I'll attend an aggressive dog and sometimes recommend another opinion. Only for the client to get a in a fairy trainer who stands behind a fence and drops hotdogs to the dog.

Then says something like -
The dog is not that bad it's just misunderstood! 😯
Probably doesn't need a muzzle just keep feeding hotdogs.

Anyone, including a kid could stand behind a fence or maintain distance and throw food but it's not an accurate assessment or training plan.

On the other hand.
Just a few weeks ago I was called to a kennel because a Behaviorist was too scared to bring two dogs out of the kennel. She classed them as dangerous and in an indirect way sentenced them to death.

If the trainer or Behaviorist has no evidence of ever helping an aggressive dog they shouldn't be near them.
It puts people and dogs at risk of injury or death.
