It’s OK, he’s friendly!

Posted by Jo Whitehead

Training tips – Dogs that jump and grab for treats

Posted by Jo Whitehead

Treat delivery is a technical skill like many others in dog training and can make a lot of difference between training going smoothly and the dog becoming confused. This video from Dr. Sophia Yin explains how a little practice can make a lot of difference.

Jo has helped me so much, I started with a dog which barked at any other dog and have ended up with one which can walk passed a dog who is barking at her and doesn’t even bark back! I was nervous about taking Jess out for walks but now I enjoy it. Jess is calmer and happier and so am I. Couldn’t recommend her enough.

Things are progressing with Frankie. It is a slow but steady progress and his training is continual. We have seen a marked improvement at home and out. J has really taken it on board with the training and Frankie responds well…….. We went away for a week over the bank holiday time very busy with families and dogs. However out of that time we only had two incidents which were on the same day and we could identify what had triggered it ………

Overall we are very happy especially with his behaviour at home he is so much more relaxed eating with everyone, playing with Melvin which he really didn’t do and doesn’t need Benny around him all the time. Frankie will never be perfect around other dogs but we feel we are controlling his behaviour and making him a happier little dog and us as well.

Thanks again for all your help and support.
