👅🐕MEET COCO🐕👅

Earlier in the week, we had this gorgeous girl come and see us for help with loose leash walking, dog reactivity, and recall.

Coco is a very typical young Labrador. She is energetic, overly friendly, and just loves life.

Her owner was struggling walking her as she pulled like a train and would bark and lunge at dogs.

We got to work by working on her lead manners, utilising leash pressure and overall obedience.

Next, we got our boy Drogo out to see what was going on with her dog reactivity. She would react purely out of frustration as she couldn't get to the dog.

This is so common when dogs have been oversocialised and daycare dogs as they think that every dog they see can be played with.

We started working on teaching her how to be neutral around another dog. She took to this pretty quickly and was focusing on her owner rather than the dog.

These guys have signed up to our Liberty Package so we can continue working on neutrality and then recall.

🥵HEAT STROKE🥵

It is already 20°C outside and set to get up to 30°C today.

Please dont be an idiot by walking your dogs today as they will all be at extreme risk of heat stroke.

Our boys were out by 7am before it started heating up and won't be leaving the house again today except to toilet in the yard.

All training sessions have been rescheduled.

Keep your dogs safe!

🐶🐕MEET RODNEY🐕🐶

We had this sweet lad come and see us. Rodney has had a really tough time of it as he got inured during the crucial socialisation period and was out of action until he was almost one.

This has led to him being absolutely terrified of everything, so his owner was unable to take him out.

With him being scared, he reacts to pretty much everything, so his owner has really struggled with him.

When a dog is as scared as he is, they will rarely take food or even play outside, so we tackled things a little differently with him.

Rather than working on his loose leash walking, we put him on a longline to allow him to explore the environment and just get used to someone new walking around but ignoring him.

Once he started to look more comfortable, we were able to start and mark and reward him when he made better choices.

We are utilising clicker training for this boy as it will be better to countercondition his triggers.

By the end of the session, he was actually having fun and even started running around a little.

Ideally, we want to introduce play outside as this will really help build him, but we will need to take things slowly with him.

These guys have signed up to our Pinnacle Package so we can really work on all of the issues.

👅🐕MEET BELLA🐕👅

Bella came to see us for help with loose leash walking, dog reactivity, and general obedience.

She is a typical young German Shepherd and is always on the go, but it was making walking her extremely difficult for her owner.

When she saw a dog, her back would go up, and she would bark and lunge.

We first got to work on getting her paying more attention to her owner, introducing reward markers and teaching her leash pressure.

Next, we worked on her walking, and she picked this up pretty quickly as she understood where she was supposed to be and what was expected of her.

We then worked around our boy Drogo, and by breaking the fixation before she tried to react, she chose to disengage and pay attention to her owner instead.

This was just the first session out of the Liberty Package, so we will see these guys again to continue work and get her to be the best she can be.

🐶🐾MEET MAGGIE🐾🐶

We had this beautiful girl come and see us for puppy training.

Maggie's owner got in touch for help getting those all important foundations in place.

We got to work going through the correct ways to socialise her. This always involves getting her confident in as many different locations as possible, being as neutral as possible around dogs and people.

Next, we worked on rewards markers and enorporated basic obedience.

We finished the session off by working on lead walking and rewarding for engagement.

Maggie absolutely smashed all of this and has great potential. Looking forward to the next session of the Puppy Package.

🐕🐶MEET FRANKIE🐶🐕

We had this little whirlwind come and see us for help with loose leash walking and reactivity towards pretty much anything that moved.

Frankie is a Jack Russell, and he has bags of energy and drive, and he just found everything either over exciting or over stimulating.

We got to work on slowing him down a bit and actually using his brain. We used leash pressure, reward, and engagement to get him walking nicely by his owners side.

He picked this up really quickly, so we then got to work on reactivity around dogs. This was purely out of excitement, which then led to frustration when he couldn't get to the dog. As we had him walking nicely on the lead, we just needed to work on breaking his fixation and choosing to engage with his owner instead.

Whilst he is reactive to most things, none of it was very serious, so we could utilise the similar techniques that we had used around dogs around other stimuli.

Frankie is a really sweet boy who absolutely loves life, so we need to get him thinking, slow him down, and then channel it into something more productive.

These guys are signed up to our Liberty Package so we can get working to make him the best he can be.

🐾🐕BUDDY & OLLIE🐕🐾

We had this handsome duo come and see us. Their owner got in touch as they were extremely strong on the lead and hard to walk. When they saw a dog, they would bark and lunge towards them.

We started the session off by working with each dog separately, getting their loose leash walking how we wanted it. We did this by teaching them leash pressure and paired this with reward for engagement.

Buddy was quick to listen and was quite happy walking by his owner. Ollie took a little more persuasion but got there, Ollie is more driven by scent and wants to be into everything.

Next, we worked them around our boy Drogo, separately at first. Buddy was the instigator around dogs, whereas Ollie just piped in afterwards.

Once each dog was calm individually, we brought them together, but because Buddy was calm and not reacting, neither dog did.

This was so their owner could practice handling both dogs at the same time. To start with, it would be best for them to be walked separately just so 100% attention can be given to each dog to get the foundations in place.

These guys are signed up to the Pinnacle Package so we can continue the work.

🖤🤎MEET XANDER🖤🤎

We had this beautiful boy come and see us for help with dog reactivity.

Xander is a very typical adolescent Rottweiler, lots of fun, very strong on the lead, and easily distracted.

When he saw a dog, he would start by fixating and then react, his type of reactivity is dog specific, a fun playful dog he would react out of barrier frustration, but when seeing a more serious dog he would react due to uncertainty.

We started the session off by getting him walking nicely on a lead, paying attention to his owner, and taking rewards for the behaviours we wanted.

Next, we got out Drogo, who he struggled with most, and worked on breaking his fixation and teaching him how to disengage. He picked this up really nicely and started to learn what we wanted from him. We then got Shadow out to have him work around a dog that gives off a more playful energy, and he wasn't phased by him at all due to the work we had previously done around Drogo.

This is by no means fixed but heading in the right direction so we can continue to work on it as these guys have signed up to our Liberty Package.
