Arlo

We have a 4 year old Sprocker Spaniel called Arlo who was a very ”bubbly” and anxious boy. We first contacted Linnea to get some support as Arlo can be anxious and very shouty in certain circumstances demanding attention & not knowing how to control his own frustrations. This also made me feel anxious and nervous and In all honestly it had got to the stage where I totally dreaded walking him in case he barked or lunged at other dogs.

We have been attending 1-1 sessions and he has been progressing through the group classes and due to start level two in the autumn. Before his training there was no way I could have dreamed of taking him to busy parks, walking parallel with other dogs or even being able to stop and have a conversation whilst out walking. Linnea’s support and advise has been outstanding and she has been very patient and has a huge understanding of all dogs needs.

Arlos walks are now much happier and relaxing and we are able to walk past dogs normally, his recall on a long line has improved and he has been learning to engage his mind whilst walking. Although Arlo is still a work in progress he is progressing amazingly and we are so thrilled to have met Linnea! Couldn’t recommend her more.
