Bo reacts badly with lots of barking when a guest visits their home.

Bo reacts with fearful barking when a guest visits their flat. Bo has lived with the couple since he was a puppy. He’s now one year old today!

His Fear of People is Puzzling

I have just met another Henry – a Miniature Schnauzer age two. He is quite unusual to look at, being brown and with a poodle-like curly coat. Cute! Henry was barking behind a door when I arrived. Let out after I had sat down, he came charging up to me, barking Read more…

Nips Legs. Barks at People. Walking Legs

Little Miniature Wire Haired Daschund, Ziggy, is scared of people he doesn’t know coming to his house. Particularly if they are standing up and even more so if they are walking about. He is a brave little dog. Instead of running, he faces his fear. He barks. He nips legs, particularly Read more…

Two Romanian Street Dogs

The two Romanian Street dogs I have just visited are doing magnificently as are their new custodians, a couple with a large open home, marble floors and furniture! Everything is different and it’s not surprising that they are on high alert at times. At others they are amazingly chilled. It’s Read more…

Her Latest Dog is a Challenge

The lady I have just visited feels her latest dog is a challenge. Doberman Maddie’s owner has had several Dobermans but never one quite like two-year-old Maddie. I think she must have been very lucky with her previous dogs if Maddie is the worst. She is gorgeous. Although with certain issues, she Read more…

German Shepherd. Failed Police Dog

German Shepherd Cora is a four-year-old ‘failed’ police dog. Who knows what her puppyhood was and what essential socialising she missed out on? Like so many German Shepherds I go to, she is reactive to people coming to the house though she settles quickly. She is also very wary and Read more…

Reactive to Traffic, Horses, People, Dogs

Here is beautiful Jack, the 8-year-old Doberman Mix I visited about five weeks ago. Everything at home has been going brilliantly, but I received a message saying that Jack was getting worse on walks – even more reactive to people, traffic, dogs, horses and other things – hackles up, rearing Read more…

Mastiff Mix Can’t Be Walked

Olive is a cross between an English Mastiff and probably a Rottweiler. She is a lovely girl – gentle and biddable at home – perhaps a bit anxious sometimes. She is especially anxious around other dogs and due to her weight and power she has not had any walks now Read more…
