Katie
We rescued Katie (Greyhound) when she was 6 and 1/2 years old. After a few months we reached out to Linnea (Walk and Train Edinburgh) to help us with Katie. It was also a difficult time as we were in lockdown.
Katie had separation anxiety, she would howl and get distressed when my husband left the room or house even though I was with her. She would often bark constantly especially early hours of the morning. Walks were stressful as she would frequently "freeze". She would also lunge and snarl at other dogs.
After an initial consultation followed by 1 to 1 training lessons we saw a huge difference in Katie. After 2 weeks we could go for a walk without any "freezing". With the training from Linnea all the other issues improved greatly and I believe we now have a happy dog and owners.
I continue with training and go to group classes as this proves to be a positive experience for both Katie and I. We were initially in the reactive dogs class then progressed to social dogs classes. On our last few classes Katie has walked off lead which has been a huge achievement .
I would never have had the confidence to do this without expertise advice, training and guidance from Linnea.
