Progress!
This photo may not look much, but it summarises how much progress these two have made- particularly Freddie wearing the yellow nervous lead.
Just a few months ago, Freddie's response to strangers and dogs out on walks was to bark, lunge, and growl.
Freddie and his 'sister' Flo had also never been walked together until a few weeks ago due to the amplification of the behaviour when they were together
In yesterday's session we were able to have a 99% stress free experience, walking calmly in a busy park only a few metres away from numerous distractions that would have previously acted as triggers for this behaviour.
A lot of time and hard work has gone into achieving this result as behaviour modification isn't a quick fix. This is why we don't offer just a session or two, but an entire programme to build on skills and knowledge gradually without the overwhelm.
