Bruce the miniature Schnauzer and Bruno the Cocker Spaniel were becoming to much for their owner Shirley. They were both very excitable and difficult to walk on the lead, with Bruce barking erratically at any dog or animal he saw. They were also over powering to any visitors in the house, due to their jumping up and attention seeking behaviour.
After working closely with the dogs and Shirley, Bruce now no longer barks at any dogs or animals while he is out and both dogs are better to walk on the lead. Shirley now feels confident and happy to take them out for several hours a day. To concentrate Bruno's high energy levels, he carries a back pack filled with 2 small bottles of water. This helps him burn off more energy, as he has a higher energy level than Bruce.
As the dogs are getting more exercise and Shirley has now become their pack leader, the dogs are better behaved within the house and she can also let them off the leads in the park and not worry about losing them.
Peter is a 3 year old Warmblood X gelding owned by teenager Helen. Helen has had many horses in the past however Peter was very difficult to handle, even getting him out of the stable and feeding him was a dangerous task. Peter had learnt that if he threatened his owners with biting and kicking they left him alone.
Work with Peter began by recreating the discipline found within the natural equine herd and getting him to choose to be with us without any restraints. We also worked on him modifying his aggressive behaviour and getting him to willingly accept things such as being groomed and having tack on. This was all done by Peter learning how to become more sociable through making his own choices to be with us and us ignoring any threatening behaviours.
