Mark dealt with Barking, Pulling
Kygo is a Lab x Huntaway 2yrs old . The property looks straight onto the street with see through fencing so Barking and rushing was an issue also attention seeking, a bit dog reactive and pulling a major problem. All the household responded well to training, and applying the Bark Busters methods. A big improvement in the lesson but Kygo will still need a little more focus work all part of teh lifetime support guarantee. Nice job guys. See you in a few weeks.

Two Lincoln standard poodles who were certainly in charge of the visitors invaders and front door answering, Very reactive barking, not aggressive but full on. The biggest issue was aggression with dogs when on lead and walking. Both dogs responded really well and the owners put in place our simple techniques easily. Although called in for only one of the two dogs , the second also had plenty of issues to rectify. Great job guys , looking forward to catching up to see progress.

Mark dealt with Aggression
The owner is a breeder of Blue and Red Heelers in a working farm environment , 22 dogs total through out the large hill country farm. 3 professional shepherds and 3 teams of work dogs , and the heelers. I was called in for aggression issues with one particularly strong willed red female heeler who dislikes men as will rush and nip, if she is snuck up on or frightened , due to an incident with of physicality with a previous worker. Fear aggression issues with a strong backing herself attitude. She responded well and with the already quite high skill set of the owners she'll improve, she maybe a work in progress but already going in the right direction. Nice work guys and gals.

Onespot is a 6mth old foxy and full on ,no off switch , was really challenging the owners , jumping ,nipping ,no recall , pulling, all in fun as far as Onespot was concerned. To add to the mix is a scared of life and everyone Chihuahua Richie, barked constantly at arrivals & neither were getting on with each other. As soon as I got the owners to apply the "speakdog to teach dog" language both dogs settled very quickly. Then we could walk through how to communicate effectively and kindly. Nice job team Onespot , I'll hear from you soon with an update.

Mark dealt with Pulling, Recall
Bullit is a kelpie possibly cross , 3 homes in 3 yrs, possibly been kicked or hit as he steps up to be very protective of the dad. Pulling a major problem and choosing not to come back another. Very clever dog who knows to try and be lead dog in the house hold. Great firsts steps but probably will be work in progress as the human behaviour changes to modify Bullits behaviours. I'm looking forward to seeing progress in a couple of weeks. Great job guys in applying the skills taught.

Bobby was a very full on Staffy, lovely temperament but hyper whenever guests arrive. Extremely adrenalized and hard for the owners to get any focus at all. He responded very well to our Speak Dog to teach dog programming. A couple of next day questions from the owners and it appears he's really learning to chill out. Nice Job Mr Booby boy. See you in a few weeks for a recap and followup.

Milo is a Ozzy shepherd ,very clever and interesting dog, super smart and has taken the owners needing to leave him at quarantine for the trip to NZ to heart. He assumed it was the dads fault so now reacts to dad leaving and sometimes getting very agro about it. Basically telling dad off for needing to leave. Tough case and the need to tread carefully but even in the lesson he got better . Definitely a work in progress. Great work so far guys.

Little Misty is only a pup but the owners were struggling with his separation anxiety and basic obedience, strong wee temperament who really wasn't sure how to focus. Great steps forward for the first lesson and soon a second session to fine tune a little more.

Milo is a 20mth old GSP and was showing signs of needing to boss hog with some quite worrying anxiety aggression involving spaces , food, crate , the owners office space . It was starting to sneak into owning communal spaces too .Concerning as the flat mate did need to interact and use some of the spaces. Milo and the owners understood the process and took on board how to apply the pack and dog rules easily. Often changes small things in the way we communicate can have huge effect. Simple but easy communication works.

Shadow is a hyper , playful labrador with confidence plus who really was playing every game to control her pack . She responded well to the refocus techniques and proved her owners that she actually can be nice and calm. The owners did really well at understanding her thinking and applying the basic dog language to have a great wee girl. Nice work guys.
