New Clients – Coby & Cloe
Meet Coby and Cloe, a brother and sister German Shepherd duo who we’ve just started working with. Two lovely dogs with plenty of enthusiasm for the world around them.
Their owners got in touch as both dogs were struggling on the lead, pulling strongly towards other dogs and people in an effort to say hello.
While it comes from excitement rather than bad intent, it can quickly become frustrating (and unsafe) without the right guidance.
We’ve gone straight back to foundations, focusing on lead manners, engagement with their handlers, and helping them learn how to exist calmly in everyday environments.
Teaching them that they don’t need to interact with everything they see is a huge part of building neutrality and confidence.
We’re also working on structured play out in the real world - building value in their handlers and the game itself.
This is taking some work at the moment as the environment is far more interesting than toys or food, but that’s all part of the process. Engagement first, distractions later.
Early days, but a solid start for both dogs. With consistency, structure, and the right direction, Coby and Cloe are already on the right path.
