Nell

I got in touch with Walk and Train on a recommendation. I was having problems with Nell's reactivity with other dogs, some people and especially children!! I had started my own training of sorts but was feeling deflated and just plain tired!! I met with Linnea and we discussed our problems.....I was on the right track but needed a confidence boost. One of the main things that Linnea said was that Nell was very sensitive and attending a doggie daycare three times a week was perhaps not in Nell’s best interest. I had often thought that myself, it just takes someone else to see outside the box. Linnea taught me the methods in which I could modify my own behaviour as well as Nell's. We both worked on our confidence and I started to "read" Nell's body language and worked on  pre-empting any potential reaction with distraction. I took her out of daycare due to lockdown and we trained everyday and I have to say she is like a different dog!! She does have her off days where she falls back into her default mode so we continue to keep at it. So, I highly recommend Linnea at Walk and Train with anyone who is having any issues with their dog/s. We all need help from time to time and I'm so glad I got in touch when I did!!
