Nelson ❤️

Oh boy oh boy! What a journey these guys have been on. And yesterday was proof of all their hard work.

Aimeé and Martin contacted me when Nelson was young. He had separation anxiety and wouldn’t leave the house to go on a walk. We worked through those areas successfully and for a while, things were okay.

As adolescence hit he became dog reactive, displayed some resource guarding and couldn’t be trusted off the lead.

We have definitely had bumps along the way that all came to a head after a bad experience at a boarders while the family were on holiday. And so. We put a plan in place!

Nelson started walks with , switched boarders to and booked in for some 1-1s with me. Aimeé attended pack walks, meet ups and stayed super consistent. And the result.

Nelson gets to live his absolute best life. He is happy, his family are happy and his positive experiences continue to grow.

If you need help, you know where we are. And don’t worry, no geese were even slightly disturbed in our session… sadly the same can’t be said for other dogs in the park.

The Lucky’s Paws Dog Walker/Walking Workshop

After the success of our September workshop, we have our next date in the diary 🤩

If you are a professional dog walker looking to expand your knowledge both theoretical and practical to step up your dog walking game and give your clients and their dogs the best possible service, this course is for you!

Professional dog walkers get priority but we are now also opening up this workshop to others who want to learn and have a keen interest in all things canine.

My goal is to support you in developing your skill set so that your walks are fulfilling and enjoyable while still having full control.

The workshop will be split into 2 parts;

- a 2 hr theory based session which will cover the basics; including body language, balanced play in your pack, all things reactivity, what a fulfilling group and solo dog walk should like and how to promote harmony in your groups to ensure they are under control in public spaces… as well as how to deal with off lead dogs and out of control people 😉 Here you will also get the opportunity to ask questions and troubleshoot
- A 2 hr practical session where you would bring your own dog, a client’s dog or we can provide one for you and we get to grips with the basics of a walk; from marker system, motivation, engagement, lead walking and recall.

Where: Skelmanthorpe Community Centre
When: Saturday 22nd November 1-5pm
Cost: £60 for 4 hours

Reactivity….

Specifically talking about dog reactivity but there are similar programmes in place for other triggers!

Now; there are many components to a dog’s reactivity but for me, simplifying everything as much as possible for you is my aim.

If I, for the purpose of keeping things simple, split things into three:

1. The situational
2. The reason why
3. Meeting needs

1. The situational - is quite similar regardless of the underlying cause and it focuses on working through that dog’s reactivity when it’s happening. Here we focus on thresholds.

❤️Over threshold - Using movement and distance to increase success and working on bringing that dog back under threshold.
Distance is closed, the more success we have
🧡💚At moving to under threshold - using a mix of counter conditioning and alternative behaviour (disengage to you) when back under thresholds.

Obedience is important here and is what we use a lot of initially while tackling the below ⬇️

2. The under lying cause. If it’s fear we look at building confidence, advocating correctly and building positive relationships. If it’s frustration/over-socialisation we focus a lot on impulse control games, building better social skills and changing where the value lies on a walk. If it’s guarding, prey drive etc we focus on other specifics

3. Meeting needs! Appropriate mental and physical exercise, decompression, diet, routine, sleep, breed fulfilment, pain assessment recommendations where needed… again the list goes on. And importantly, looking at the owners needs too. Nights off, support with walks, talking things through, sometimes a cry to get things off your chest.

Every dog is an individual. As is every human. And so every family we see, the advice is ever so slightly different per case. And it’s important that the above is tailored to the dog in front of us.

If you’re fed up of feeling like a ninja dodging other dogs on walks 🥷🐕 Drop me a message and let’s make walks less stressful and way more enjoyable.

Something a little different tonight!

My other half, Jack, has absolutely grafted over the last few months and on Sunday, opened up Proper Golf; an incredible golf simulator in Skelmanthorpe.

Golf is a huge part of his life. It is something he started in lockdown and the love has grown since then. It has been amazing for his mental health and has been a link to building new friendships in Huddersfield.

Setting up your own business is so daunting, especially when there are huge set up fees involved BUT he has done it! And the results are incredible.

He has having an open day on the 28th September and we would absolutely love to see you there. You don’t need to be a golfer to come along. Your support is hugely appreciated. There will be food, drink and the chance to have a go on the sim if you fancy.

Hopefully see you there.
And Jack, I am so damn proud of you. I know how stressful the last few months have been but your hard work is shown in Proper Golf.

What Is The WORST Advice…

You have received regarding your dog? It could be from Pat down the pub, Bob down the local park or from a dog trainer.

Some of these still shock me now when I read them.

If you don’t want shady advice and want to start your training journey right, send us a message. Don’t listen to Pat (even if he has had dogs for 40 years and think he knows everything there is to know about dog behaviour 😉)

This is a wordy post BUT so worthy of a read and hopefully something many can relate to when you’ve worked with your trainer ❤️

A couple of weeks ago, I posted about the worries some of my clients had before they started with us.

Fast forward to this…. 🥹

If you are feeling helpless with your dog and want to be in the same position as the lovely folk who wrote these, get in touch.

We would love to hear from you ❤️
