Chips doing so great with muzzle training, walked along Linlithgow high street and into a cafe with 0 reactions and felt so much safer walking on narrow paths past other dogs. Chip then went to Callender park for a walk and had a few reactions to a few different dogs, but not them all which is still progress! very good unless a dog fixates on him or is pulling towards him then he is very vocal but managed to redeem himself 🥳

I could never have done this a year ago or even dream I would get to this stage with Zeus. He didn't even react to a dog who came right up to him sniffing his back end. He gave a wee bark when the other dog barked and jumped about, but we were able to walk away no problem 😊

Building some confidence with Luna, she hates things that make noise like rustling bags and paper. So an Amazon delivery box has become her enrichment, a few treats thrown inside for her snuffle through and explore. She was initially nervous, but soon began pulling the paper out and climbing into the box. 👏🏻

Luna is usually very reactive walking down a street in Falkirk as a couple of houses have dogs in their back gardens at the gates. We've been spending a lot of time working on keeping Luna engaged with me going past but nothing was really sticking. A couple of days ago I tried using a "watch me" prompt. The video shows today's progress, she wasn't fully engaged but 10x better than she'd usually be, and was loose lead walked the entire way instead of having to keep correcting her into a heal and didn't bark or growl at the garden gates at all. This is a massive step for Luna, as up until about 3 weeks ago we had started to avoid this road completely due to her reactivity around these houses. Very proud mum!

Chip went to dobbies garden centre on Saturday with lots of other dogs there and had 0 reactions! Today chip went to the beach where we dropped his long line and he came back when called every single time even around birds/another 2 dogs which we wouldn’t have even imagined was possible a couple months back! I think introducing E collar training may be the best thing we’ve done as the freedom chip is starting to get is bringing him and us so much joy 🤩
