Molly is a 2.5 yr old Jack Russell with major TV barking aggression issues at certain adverts. Jumped up , pulls. She is a work in progress for some other behaviours but showed huge promise in the lesson with the TV barking just non existent by the time the owners had applied our training exercises. I'm keen to hear progress in a week or two.

Chief is male GSP , 2 yrs old when I first got a call to help. He was very anxious and stressed with arrivals , dogs , people . A worried reactive aggressive dog. He has turned right around due to the daily simple focus exercises of the owner, Chiefs owner was determined not to have to put Chief down or rehomed but rehabilitated back into social life. The review above says it all . Teaching people to communicate better with their own dogs. Amazing work Mr Chief . Well done team chief

Due to location and lack of dog training close by these clients needed training at their venue, a Bach on the beach where most of the issues arise. Both dogs ae reactive to people walking on THEIR beach (public beach but nobody told Gracie and Peanut that). Also pullers and recall was an issue too. So the idyllic environment can be more peaceful and enjoyed. Early days yet but really good progress during the lesson and we'll cover anything missed on the next lesson. Love your spot and great work the other day. Keep up the little bit of homework.

Thanks. Being a first time puppy owner can be a bit challenging. It's great that I was able to reassure you that you were doing good things and what the next steps are for moving puppy towards that Good Dog status. It's early days with this youngster and I look forward to the rest of the journey with you. You're off to a great start!

Poppy is young and full on , at 1yr old loves to play full on too. The owners issues are she wouldn't listen or focus , very hyped all the time , no off button, barked a lot , jumped even more ,separation anxiety and mothing play as well as pulling and recall. Very busy girl with a full on attitude but nice temperament . She did great on lesson day in the hands of the lady of the house . As usual there is follow up work to do but so far huge improvements.

Wilson is a 5 yr Spoodle who has displayed aggression to other dogs on walks, very much in charge of a number of aspects at home . There is still some fine tuning to go in a few weeks but huge improvements on lesson day . Keep up the great work Team as Wilson needs to know someone else can make the decisions for him

Tai is a labrador x Staffy , 4.5yrs old large and can be quite stubborn. His issues included barking at passers by and visitors, jumps up lots , pulls and is far too strong for the owners , recall ,attention seeking , . The owners have had a bit of trouble retraining him to focus on them and listen . He did well in the lesson mostly but his stubborn side certainly showed through and will take a little more work to get on top of but a good dog generally. We'll see you again soon Tai for a check up.

Mosely is a super clever dog , border collie of 7yrs old , he started showing aggression to dogs close to his property or visiting dogs , pulls , jumps up , not so focused on recall , over enthusiastic about guest and attention seeking often. A lovely dog but let slip into annoying habits. One session should be enough for the owners to sort his problems as he is clever and did respond great to their application of our exercises and programming. Nice job team Mosely

Max is a large and almost untrained American Staffy , he's not lived with out other dogs before and been let have lots of freedom , not used to visitors and had started being too protective and slightly agro at visitors. Separation anxiety is a large issue since moving house . Good progress in the 1st lesson but still a work in progress. We'll catch up soon.
