Susanna contacted us as both of her dogs pulled on the leash and were reactive when walked together. Walks were no longer enjoyable and instead, were overwhelming and stressful.

We booked both dogs onto a training program, and are pleased to show you the progress we have made so far!

Both dogs are now walking well on a leash, and in the video below you can see the progress we have been making with getting them to relax while in the presence of one another, instead of barking and lunging.

In this session we worked on impulse control, and maintaining a calm mindset. With practice, both dogs will be able to walk side by side.

Massive well done to Susanna and Colin for putting in the hard work!

Barking and Lunging towards other dogs was a daily battle that Anna struggled with and it was taking the enjoyment out of walking Hugo. Even at a large distance, Hugo would react to the sight of other dogs and become very difficult to manage.

In this training session, we taught Hugo how to relax in the presence of another dog. This is massive progress for Hugo, and we look forward to seeing him soon for his top up socialisation sessions, where we will work on getting him a little closer to other dogs.

If your are struggling with your reactive dog, get in touch! We'd love to help you transform your chaotic walks into calm ones!

Client Success 🐾

Christine came to us as she was struggling with Luna's leash pulling. Walks had become unenjoyable and painful as Luna was a very heavy puller!

Now that Luna is walking well, we are moving on to address her reactivity towards other dogs.

We are super proud of the work Christine has put in. The results are showing and hard work pays off!

If you'd like to transform your reactive dog into a calm companions you can enjoy walks with - send us a message.

Anna reached out to us shortly after adopting Hugo, looking for support with leash pulling and some dog-to-dog reactivity challenges.

Over the past few sessions, our focus has been on building strong foundations — helping Hugo learn to walk calmly on the leash and improving his engagement with Anna. The progress so far has been fantastic, and it’s clear how much effort Anna is putting into their training.

Next up, we’ll begin working more specifically on Hugo’s reactions around other dogs, continuing to build his confidence and focus in more distracting environments.

Anna and Hugo are making brilliant progress, and we’re excited to see how they continue to grow together!
