Better Behaviour

This is Ravo - a stunning little boy! His owners wanted a little support with him as it had been a while since they had a young and active puppy. He is so clever and very quick to pick up new skills. No need to jump on anyone anymore - all he has to do is sit or lie beside us and he'll get lots of attention.

We also discussed sleep requirements and daily routines for pups, how to address nipping and then worked to develop a super fast response to his name and a recall cue.

Say hello to River who is such a lovely exuberant pup!

Her dedicated owners wanted better walks 🐾 🐶 so they booked 121 lead and recall training with Al.

With expert guidance and a little hard work, they are now enjoying:

✨ Calm and loose lead walking.
✨ Confident off-lead freedom.
✨ Happy pup, happy owners.

Love your walks again.

Did you know your dog might actually hate head pats? 🐶

Many just tolerate it, but a hand coming out of nowhere right over their eyes can feel super threatening and invasive.

Here are the stress signs to watch for next time you reach for their head:

Duck and cover: They lower their head or pull away.

Whites of the eyes: You see the white parts (whale eye).

Lip licking: They lick their nose or lips nervously.

Yawning: Big yawns when they aren't even tired.

Pinned ears: Their ears go flat back against their head.

Aim for the chest, chin, or the sides of their neck. They will love you so much more for it!
