The adolescent dog plays them up when they call her

Tallulah (great name, isn’t it) is an adolescent Labradoodle. She lives on a farm with a lot of open space. The house itself is big and open. Apart from sleeping in a crate she has had few physical boundaries.  A bit too free-range! Now Tallulah, a typical adolescent, is pushing Read more…

German Shepherd. From yard dog to house pet.

With the help first of the RSPCA and for the past six months in her lovely home, German Shepherd Skye has transitioned from yard dog to family house pet amazingly well. A guard dog? In fact, Skye is more friendly with humans than many German Shepherds I have worked with. Read more…

Freedom to freelance or no freedom at all – or something in between?

They so want to be able to carry on giving Luna freedom. This is what they want to resolve in contacting me: ‘Unreliable recall in distracting situations’.  ‘Distracting situations’ are exactly when recall is most needed. Coming when she feels like it isn’t really recall at all. Luna is a Read more…

Come When Called. Getting Attention.

The problem seems simple enough. They want to be able to get Working Cocker Milo’s focus and attention on them when the are out. When the eight-month-old has his head under a hedge or down a hole, when he’s playing excitedly with other dogs, he goes deaf. Attention has to Read more…

Come. Won’t Come When Called. Runs Off. No Recall

Layla really is the near-perfect little dog for her lady owner, particularly at home. She stable, confident and can be taken anywhere. When off lead, Layla won’t come when called. The one and only area where she is less than perfect is that, once she’s free, she may run off Read more…

Come When Called. The Wider Picture

I have just come home from seeing a wonderful dog – fantastic temperament and beautiful to look at – a cross between a Utonagan and a German Shepherd. The problem is some reactivity towards other dogs which they want to nip in the bud – he’s fourteen months old – Read more…

Poppy Doesn’t Like Being Touched

Poppy is a Border Collie with German Shepherd ears. Look at them – and at that face! Just as not all of us like too much fussing, pulling about and excitement, Poppy is a sensitive and somewhat fearful dog who isn’t keen on being touched unless she so chooses (to Read more…

Won’t Come When Called

Sophie is a teenager. She is friendly and fearless and a perfect companion for the widowed lady apart from the two things I was called out for. The gorgeous little Lhasa Apso mix is eight months old. Where on walks she never goes far when off lead and willingly comes Read more…

To Reliably Come When Called

Cockerpoo Lacey is a very, very busy pup! She is eight months old and so like my Cocker Spaniel Pickle at that age – on the go all the time looking for ‘mischief’ which really is finding ways to employ her clever brain, get rid of her abundant energy – Read more…

A Puppy Needs Active Toilet Training

Bichon Frise Lola is now nearly 5 months old and an exceptionally easy puppy. Isn’t she delightful! She never nips and she’s not demanding. This is fortunate because the family has five young children. They have another dog also, a gorgeous and rather reserved fifteen-month-old Goldendoodle called Sam. Both dogs Read more…
