Nicola & Arthur - Had a lovely walk this morning. Arthur was a bit pully initially, but as I'm starting to recognise his triggers and stacking, I was able to use the tools and a bit more understanding of his need to sniff around his environment to feel calm and safe. It's been such a great experience so far and we're very excited to see what's coming next.
Louise & Callie - Callie and I love this tool, we use it a lot, at home, on walks and just for fun.
I think it helps Callie feel tall and safe and secure.
We would love to work on duration in the wild but we need more practice in the garden and on our ugly walks. Callie is hyper vigilant and struggles to stay in one place for too long, as life is just too exciting Love, love love this one!
Kathryn & Flynn - He started getting the hang of it and overall he was much happier on his walk (we also tried ‘Bear’ on a small wall) we both enjoyed some new things on our walk. His focus was lots better with other dogs - he even looked up from a sniff and wagged at one.
