💕More work with the Caucasian Shepherd x

Conditioning to a verbal marker word to create a clear pattern which facilitates learning.

Building odour recognition by targeting the Kong so we can introduce scent detection to help build confidence, reduce stress, anxiety and reactivity.

Sitting politely rather than barging out of the door.

Building confidence on walks and improving lead technique to keep things relaxed.

So much to teach these troubled rescue dogs, it really is a slow burner and accepting small wins is vital.

Onwards and upwards.

🏎️Here we have another ‘Ferrari’ with go faster stripes. What a dog❤️

🏡He’s with a lovely couple in a none working home and boy he is a handful for them. Can’t settle, flying all over the place and literally bouncing off the walls. They have been experiencing:

‼️Excessive attention seeking
‼️Destructive behaviour
‼️Barking
‼️Aggression
‼️Resource guarding

🐶When we arrived it was impossible to sit down and chat, we were literally covered in dog.

🏆Time to reset both dog and handler and boom we achieve success.

🐕Can’t wait to begin gundog training sessions with this talented young dog and he can’t wait for a job.

Thank you Helen Edwards for being a fabulous assistant!

🏡Settling into a new home often takes some time for a rescue dog, many will have suffered at some point.

✅In my mind the 3-3 isn’t a bad starting point, however the hard work does not stop after 3 months!!

🫣3 days to decompress, the dog may hide, go off food and appear anxious

🙈3 weeks to learn the routine and boundaries. Prepare to be tested as they get their paws under the table and show their real personality!

😌3 months, sometimes longer to be completely at home, build the trust and feel safe and secure.

⚠️Many people make allowances and excuses for rescue dogs and their behaviours.

🏠It is up to us to teach them how to behave and cope (often overlooked) in our human world. Many will have never lived in a domestic environment.

📲Social media may not be the answer to your problems, without the correct knowledge behaviours CAN be unintentionally reinforced or exacerbated.

🐶We must understand the dog presented in front of us.

🐕We must consider breed traits and individual temperaments. One size does not fit all.
We must do what we can to meet breed specific needs allowing the dogs to practice innate behaviours.

🚌Please know you are not alone on this journey, we are here for you. Following an assessment, we provide new owners with workable behaviour management and modification strategies to help develop, a strong healthy and balanced relationship🐾🥰🐾

A reactive young Labrador who needed some brain work rather than repetitive ball throwing.

As you can see, she’s embraced her new job and we’re able to reward her efforts with a ball! In her mind she gets a double whammy of wins.

She’s a little cracker and one happy dog🥰🐾❤️

I wish I could give you a before and after video here but sometimes it is not possible.

‼️Before: A typical aggressive Dachshund

🥰After: A fabulous little character who accepts there are rules and boundaries. Now he has some clarity, he is learning very quickly how to behave in our human world and enjoying a mentally stimulating job.

We love you Ronnie👏👏

Delighted with the progress made with this rescue Shepherd. He is a very sweet dog but in the beginning permanently on high alert and very reactive. This is him 3 months on, you can’t see but there’s one of my dogs sitting just outside the search area. He stays totally relaxed and focused. When done team Yoti, when you have a bad day think of the dog you had and the dog you have now🥰🐾👏

A super morning training in the woods with Clover, it was also the perfect opportunity to expose Pearl to some shot in the right environment. This was a typical KC gundog working test scenario, the shot is a long mark which the dog sees in the distance. The test is can you stop your dog from running to the long mark to pick a short blind. The answer is yes👏. Great to be back out doing what we love with our training buddies. Thank you Dawn Diglake GunDogs x

When things go wrong they can escalate pretty quickly.

This was mainly a reactivity case but when I tested the dog I didn’t see any sign.

We look at the bigger picture when working on behaviour reformation. What I did see was the handler needed guidance, reassurance and a confidence boost to help the dog understand how it should behave in the home and on a lead.

We addressed those areas (I can’t video everything, too busy getting the job done) however I did video the dog being introduced to what it’s bred to do - hunt and retrieve!

It’s early days so we start in the garden before we take this super little chap outside to have some fun hunting and retrieving in the long grass and cover👏🥰🐶

Stories like these provide us with 100% job satisfaction.

We started with fear and territorial aggression, attention seeking, excessive barking and now……………………….. in just a few weeks we have an adorable character who is developing a healthy and balanced relationship with his handlers.

This is not down to me waving a magic wand, this is testament to the owners commitment and hard work, following our recommendations and training plan. NOT P***Y FOOTING AROUND.

Just look at him winding the hide, quietly communicating to his handler - ‘trust me mum, I’ve found it’!

Love this little guy🥰🥰🐶
