The feedback from previous attendees has been phenomenal 👊 : )

Through my own experiences with my reactive dogs, I know that having a stressy dog is a BIG thing... it's tiring, exhausting, frustrating, restrictive, worrying, stressful and can also make you feel isolated and coping on your own.

Oh yesssss 😍👏😍👏😍 I’ve been absolutely loving all the progress you have all made on the course ☺️…. your dog’s body language has changed since the early classes, there’s more ‘thinking’ going on, you handlers ‘know’ what to do to help your dogs.. that is all fab progress and your dogs are showing you that they can think, not react, given time/practice and assistance 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
You have all put a great amount of trust in me and the course …. I feel that has been your biggest leap of faith ever, and I thank you 🙏

Today’s class … well ….. it kept everybody guessing….. what was gonna happen ? Would dogs be able to think? Would owners be able to step in and help their dog’s in this next step to becoming‘thinking dogs’ ?????
YOU ALL TOTALLY SMASHED IT 👏👌👏👌👏👌👏!!!!!!! ( yes, I did a private happy dance 🕺)
All dogs in ( bar Ralph) and yes I tiny bit of barking which I would totally expect …. but then ……… everyone’s QUIET & busy 😍😍😍
I just need to thank you all for putting your trust in the C2C progressive programme…. I hope you can now see why we start ‘slow & low’ and why we are so careful in the set up and what homework you need to make sure you get time to practice……..today’s Wk 4, showed me you’re all sticking with it ✊✊
YOU are awesome dog owners ! I wish I was your dog 😄😎 keep going on this journey …. and Wilson Sue Douglas boy is fabulous stooge dog too obviously 🥰

Hi guys 😊
Hope you’ve all had a good week ?
Can you remember to bring your diaries tomorrow so we can chat through any bits & bobs 😎
If you have a suitable ‘tug toy’ eg one with a handle for you & a bitey part for your dog - please bring it along. I will have spares with me ok.
Also remember we’ve got Sue with Wilson the stooge dog coming to help your dog’s ‘look’ at that and keep below threshold 👌👌 let’s do this ☺️

Hi fab C2C people,
so ......tomorrows the BIG day, ALL dogs IN !!! ..you have only 1 thing to focus on, to click and treat ANYTHING your dog does that is NOT a reactive behaviour, so...literally C&T every step in/out and also the inbetween spaces whilst other dogs are coming in/out. If your dog cannot eat, don't stress ,continue to click your dog but try food on the floor instead.

Quick reminder for tomorrows Week 3 session....
Weekly Check List -
Your C2C folder
Clicker(s)
LOTS of yummy small soft treats - chopped ham/ hotdog/ liver cake/ JR pate etc
A pot with lid for spare treats ready for refills.
Treat bag

Dog Equipment -
at Class your dogs must have on either ....
2 collars & 2 leads... OR... a Collar & body harness & 2 leads.
The Collar & body harness must be securely fitted and suitable for your dogs size/shape etc.
A body harness with a ring on the chest is more suitable than one without.
Soft easy to handle leads of around 5-6ft.
*This is a safety requirement should a collar/lead break whilst you are at Class.
Muzzle - if needed and if your dog is accustomed to wearing one.
Poo bags
Water & bowl
Mat/ blanket for your dog to rest on.
**Absolutely No Flexi/Extending leads !!

Handlers-
Fully enclosed, sturdy footwear must be worn - no sandals/ flip flops/ heels !

Prior to coming to Class -
Please ensure your dog has toileted before arrival at the hall.
This is to minimise the stress of them being in a little known, stressful new environment with unknown dogs/people and then needing to go out/toilet/ and come in all over again.
It also means you do just 1 trip in/out of the hall which I/ an assistant /your partner can monitor for you by doing a reccy' for you before coming in/going out, as usually numerous members of the public and dogs will be walking past the hall on a Sunday afternoon!

Tomorrow we start to look at:
'Thresholds' - what are they/ how can you determine where your dogs' is?
Understanding your dogs body language..what happens & when.
Sanctuary - it's an important place & making it a well known behaviour.
'Come Front - an emergency behaviour ( you tpracticed with JInx in Wk 1)

*The 'Can you Look' behaviour - this homework is Prep' for Wk 4

The hall will be fully set up with sight barriers etc. We will let Kayleigh with Major come in/go out first of all, as they missed out on last weeks try out.

See you all tomorrow : )
