Everybody say Hello 👋 to George 🧡🐶💛
Last year George's owners reached out for training when he was just 6 months old. He was already showing signs of being an incredibly intelligent, loving and loyal canine companion. However he was a bit anxious, excitable and would get over stimulated. Triggers like guests arriving at the house or knowing he was going on a walk would result in peeing in the house, jumping up on guests and pulling on the lead.
We met up for the initial consultation following some communication about George. He aced all the health checks, did amazingly in all the cognitive tests and responded really well to some training techniques. Once the consultation was finished, it was agreed that George and his mum and dad would really benefit from our puppy management course. Designed to teach both pet and owner everything needed so that your puppy grows up to be an incredible canine companion. We worked on crate training, threshold measures, obedience training, puppy manors and we also introduced specific corrections when required.
George responded straight away to the training, demonstrating just how clever he is. Training him was a real pleasure and an experience I often think back on as being informative for myself too.
The thing I will always remember the most about my experience training George was how receptive, humble and eager to learn George's owners were. They listened to everything I had to say, they were able to demonstrate that they could now continue the training with George and do it effectively! When watching someone training a dog it can often look much easier than it actually is, the timing of corrections, rewards, commands and so much more are so important. The subtle nuances can be missed so easily and figuring it out can be very difficult for some. But George is so lucky to come from a home where both parents were so quick to learn, understand and implement the training in such a short time.
Almost a year later now and George is a wonderful dog, calmer, confident and twice the size! His owners reached out and left a wonderful review and I'm so thrilled that George is doing great.
