Daisy

Since we got our rescue Doberman cross, Daisy, as a young puppy she has struggled reactivity towards people. After trying other training classes and behaviourists, we got in touch with Linnea soon after her anxiety also began to be directed towards other dogs. Without any judgement of ourselves or our much-loved dog, Linnea identified the fear and stress at the root of Daisy’s behaviour, and, from our very first consultation, has helped us to build a training framework that has really built Daisy’s confidence and ours as owners. With lots of hard work, her weekly classes, originally so stressful and tough for us, have become an absolute joy as Daisy learns to relax around the other dogs and owners, and the socialisations with the rest of the weekday walking “pack” have given us a chance to work on her stress around other dogs that I don’t think we could ever have had without Linnea’s amazing support. Daisy actually played with another dog for the first time in over a year and a half at our last one – it’s just wonderful getting to see her relax and grow into being the happy, playful dog that we know she is! Daisy has always been a very loving dog with her family, but the training ideas and videos which Linnea provides have helped us to mentally stimulate and fulfil her while building a bond and a trust with our girl that is just so lovely! The ongoing and consistent support provided by Walk and Train has been truly amazing, we can’t thank Linnea enough for the change it has made to our lives!
