General obedience with a clients dog… Bonnie was born in Covid times her owner died and his wife who is older in age couldn’t get Bonnie socialising or out as often as she would have liked the years passed on and Bonnie just didn’t want to leave the house…. She started on the 4 week training course… and I spoke to her owner 3 sessions in saying I didn’t feel like Bonnie would benefit from training just now I felt she would benefit from building her confidence in day to day life hearing cars seeing other dogs and build her confidence up and then switching to training her …her owner trusted me and let me go about training her my way…. At the start Bonnie had to be carried out to the car to come with me…. And was scared of every stranger every strange noise and reactive towards other dogs pulled like a train on the leed and offer just refused to walk at all…… Bonnie is now walking to heel on & off the leed recall to the whistle is great she’s dropping to the stop whistle and enjoys retrieving she enjoys being around other dogs now and has a new lease on life…. The 4 week training course has been a life changer for Bonnie and her owner can smile knowing Bonnie is now a more confident dog that enjoys her training and for the first time ever they can look forward to nice walks this spring and enjoy there summmer together with Bonnie having the confidence to be out in public and being under total control
