Wolfie

We have had such a positive experience working with Walk and Train Edinburgh. We own a lovely but unruly young Labrador, and have recently had a baby. We wanted to make sure that Wolfie (our lab) was gentle with our daughter and to try and calm some of his more boisterous behaviour.

We started with a 3 hour 1-2-1 session with Linnea where she worked on Wolfie’s behaviour in the house, especially his barking. The techniques she showed us really suited our style - they were gentle yet firm and Wolfie responded to this immediately. Linnea then took us for a walk where we worked on Wolfie’s behaviour on the lead. Again, her calm yet authoritative manner was really effective. Linnea followed up the session with detailed notes, and then checked in again a few weeks later. We were really delighted with this support.

Wolfie now walks with Gregor 3 days a week and absolutely loves this. He comes back well exercised and calm, and will settle easily in his crate once’s he has returned. We have also noticed that Wolfie is a lot calmer when we take him for walks ourselves. His recall has improved and he jumps significantly less. He is wonderful with our baby and treats her like his own child!

I would not hesitate to recommend Walk and Train, and we will absolutely continue to use their exceptional services.
