Behaviour
Tricky Teens!
Emily is amazingly patient and creates a relaxed non judgmental space for training. We learnt some really good tricky teenager tips for our crazy retriever and also found the sessions excellent for socialising with other dogs. Great to practice the training at home and then to see progress in class. I would definitely recommend Emily and we will be using her for some one to one training too
Noise sensitivity and reactivity
Collie x lab struggling with LOUD noises (Fireworks, hoonatics on motorbikes) and reactivity to certain things out and about.
todays follow up visit was such a good day, No excited barking on leaving the house. A calm focussed passing by a noisy truck parked up lifting a skip with its hydraulics, No ripping arms out of sockets to chase cats. An awesome ”stop” when the ball rolled across the road!
His mum really understands him and the psychology behind training methods and puts so much work into him which is paying off.
Implementing rest days - careful planning of routes and times of day to manage arousal levels - monitoring body language “the whispers before the screams - ”breed related outlets and enrichment - The principles around desensitisation and counter conditioning - Plays pattern games out and about
Car Chasing
Car chasing, Pulling on the lead and reluctant recall.
Not the best pic but we are giving ronnie plenty of time on a long line as management to just “spaniel”!
By looking at the underlying issues weve made progress in all areas. No loosing his mind at the sight of a car, better focus and so much less frustrated!
Small steps Ronnie lad!
Giddiest Kipper
Learning to find the off switch using breed specific outlets and a balance of sleep, stimulation, calming enrichment and clear instructions
