Meet My New Client: Henry the Cocker Spaniel! 🐶✨

Henry is a 6-year-old Cocker Spaniel with a big heart and a few big challenges. He’s joining me for training to work through a range of behavioral issues including:

*Incessant barking and urination when visitors arrive
*Chasing cars, bikes, and anything that moves
* Reactivity toward other dogs and people
* Fearfulness around tall men or people bending over him

Despite all that, Henry is incredibly sweet and smart! Just look at that happy face during our training session! 🥰 With patience, structure, and positive reinforcement, we’re already making progress.

Every dog deserves a chance to thrive ! Even the more complex cases. I’m proud to be part of Charlie’s journey and excited to see how far he’ll go.

Stay tuned for updates on henry’s transformation!
