6 month old Belgian Malinois cross German pointer 🐕 Stormy had a lot of lead frustration, being the breeds she is and wanting to just let her natural instincts lead her it was hard for her to understand how to walk calmly with so much stimulation. Stormy is Lead, Car, people reactive really anything that moves. This is typical of a dog of her breeds. Over the last week I have worked on building Stormys confidence, to allow her to trust me, and become comfortable in the outdoor environment. All pups just want to be free but sometimes it leads to frustration and negative associations. This is why it is so important that training starts in the home and continues to outside the home also. Look at Stormy now, whilst she still has a way to go lunging, snapping, pulling and biting (frustration) at the lead is almost eliminated. Being a pup she still gets distracted and eager to get to follow scents. Overall Stormys progression is outstanding and she now enjoys calmer walks 🙌🏻🥰 #reactiv8 #dogtraining #dogtrainingbelfast #stormy #progression #rewardbaseddogtraining #welldone

Update on our gorgeous Sen Sen was a bouncy, excitable, typical Cockapoo. Sen was also a bit timid. Her owner ask if I could help do basic training so allow both them and Sen to enjoy nice walks without worrying that Sen might run off. Sen would run up to other dogs off lead, had no recall, pulled on lead and it was a chase to get her back on lead 😩🤣 So as a team we have worked on all these things and I added in a few more for safety 👌🏼 As you can see Sen will walk to heel without being promoted, she will stop when I stop and sit without asking, her recall is 100%, she can ignore passing dogs unless I release her to play, she sits to get her lead back on and walks like a dream on lead!! Sen will wait when asked and no longer jumps up uncomfortably when excited. At times she is still a bit timid but her confidence has grown so much and continues to do so 💪🏻 These are great foundations for Sen as she begins her adolescence. Sen is still her crazy little self but she knows now when she can express her energy and when to remain calm. It’s been an absolute pleasure to train this little smart cookie 🍪 We achieved our goals using only reward based training and today we tested all Sens skills in a new environment… She Aced it! 🏆 If you want to get help with training we offer 1-1 sessions, training walks and guidance ✅ Get in touch to start your training journey and build your relationship of trust with your dog 🐶 #dogtrainerbelfast #reactiv8 #rewardbasedtraining #dog #success #happydoghappylife #getintouch 🐶 🐾

Sen has been on training walks for a little over a month now, we started with loose lead training and have worked up to off lead walking. Sen is a bouncy beautiful smart cockapoo and still young so very easily distracted. This week we worked on off lead walking and passing other dogs calmly. Sen is doing fantastic, still learning but for her first try she did very well and broke away immediately when I called her! Well done Sen!!! #sen #cockapoo #training #dogtrainer #dogtrainerbelfast #reactiv8 🐾

My own two doggies enjoying the freedom of the park 🙌🏻 we go most evenings for our second outing and my two love it! I can work on training and play fetch in a worry free environment that I know my escape artist (Ryuu) can’t get out of 😅 #offleadadventures #offleadfreedom #reactivedogpark #reactivitytraining #safespace #worryfree #playtime #fetch #ryuu #kutana #reactiv8 #privatehire #dogpark 🐶 🐾

Another very successful session using the best girl Luna 👏🏻 Sky (collie) is a very timid and nervous girl. Sky’s owner rescued her and soon found she was sadly a fearful little girl mainly of other dogs and men 😞 walks were not what her owner had anticipated and they both then retreated to early early morning quiet walks to avoid the triggers that would send sky into melt down, poor girl… after assessing sky and giving her and her owner some homework we have now done a few desensitisation sessions with my stooge doggies 🐩 Sky used to stare, freeze, spin and bark even from a fair distance when she seen a dog… Now look at her 😍 the progress is unbelievable and it shows the work her fabulous owner has been putting in with Sky 🙌🏻🥳 whilst she still has a bit to go I have every faith in not only Sky’s capability but her owners too!! WELL DONE 🎉💫 #sky #collie #reactivedogs #stoogedog #luna #reactivedogtraining #desensitisationtraining #keepingitcalm #welldone #successfulsession #positivereinforcement #dogtrainingbelfast #reactiv8 🐾🐶

We had a lovely chilled training session with Sebastian (GSD) and my stooge girl Luna, this evening 👏🏻 Sebastians owners have been working with him to desensitise him to his surrounds and other dogs on walks as he was becoming a frustrated greeter and walks were not as enjoyable. Sebastian has came on leaps and bounds (literally). Learning to be calm on lead and greet other dogs calmly whilst taking communication cues from other dogs very well!! A massive well done to Sebastians owners they have been dedicated, putting in so much effort and it shows 🙌🏻👏🏻 #germanshepherdsofinstagram #trainingsession #frustratedgreeter #dogcommunication #buildingtrust #positivereinforcementtraining #welldone #sebastian #luna #reactiv8 #trainer #dogtrainerbelfast 🐾🐶

Pepper (spaniel) has been on a journey, a timid girl who became very scared of almost everything outside of her home this wasn’t helped by lockdown. So over several months now her owner and I have been working to desensitised pepper and grow her confidence 🤞🏼 slowly but surely she is coming along 👌🏼 with help of my wonderful stooge Oscar pepper’s confidence around other dogs is starting to shine... whilst she still has a bit to go she is doing so well 🌟 a massive shout out to her owner, this hasn’t been easy and there has been a hell of a lot of effort put in to get pepper this far 👏🏻 but her owner never gave up and the dedication is admirable ❤️ Well done Pepper and her human 👏🏻🙌🏻 #buildingconfidence #pepper #spanielsofinstagram #counterconditioning #desensitization #dogtraining #trainingsessions #oscar #stoogedog #thebest #colliecross #reactiv8 #dogtrainingbelfast 🐾 🐶
