Chris
We contacted Walk and Train Edinburgh 6 months after we welcomed our rescue greyhound into our home. He loved other greyhounds but had no idea how to socialise with other breeds of dog and would get himself worked up into a frenzy, jumping and spinning on his lead, whenever he came across other dogs - particularly smaller breeds. Linnea was fantastic in our initial session - giving us advice and tips and tactics which we have been building on ever since. We were also able to attend some of the group classes which really helped with my confidence in handling Chris around other dogs.
Chris is like a different dog now. He's not perfect! But the difference is amazing. He can be calmly introduced to other dogs and is content to 'walk on by' almost all of the time. He no longer tries to jump four feet in the air when he sees something he thinks is 'chase-able', and our confidence in being able to cope with any of his antics if he does decide to get 'interested' in a smaller dog has grown immensely. We can't thank Linnea and Gregor enough - everyone is seeing such a difference in Chris, and ourselves and our dog walker are continuing to build on the great start that we made with their help. We would 100% recommend Walk and Train Edinburgh to anyone.
