Dog Name: Lucky and Ireland
Dog Age: 2 Yrs. 3 Mos., 3 Mos.
Dog Breed: Breed Chocolate Lab and German Shepherd
Behaviour issues:
Lucky was pulling on the lead, no recall, very excitable and jumping up. Ireland the puppy was nipping, barking, pulling on the lead and acting just like a puppy
Both dogs were too busy working on their pack they didn’t notice Kevin. One of the challenges was Kevin’s hearing. They were barking excessively at the door, jumping and nipping and not at all fun to walk. They pretty much took over.
Outcome Descriptions:
At the end of the lesson Kevin came to understand how a pack works. He elevated himself to top dog and started leading his pack. It was great to see the dogs giving him their focus and responding to the praise.
Client Comment / Review:
Hi my name is Kevin. I am hearing impaired and have 2 dogs. The first dog is Lucky she is a 2 year old chocolate lab. She would not come to me when called. When walking she would pull and now when walking when I stop she stops and comes back to me. When there was a knock on the door lucky would jump all over the person ,now she sits and waits. When I go out through the doorway she sits and waits until I say come and the same going into the backyard gate. The second dog, Ireland is a white German Shepherd. She is 4 months. Because she is a puppy she is hyper. Ireland now is listening to what we say she sits when someone comes to the door and sits when I go outside until I tell her to come and the same for the backyard. When walking Ireland stops when I stop and walks when I walk. She sits when we get to a curb before we cross the street. Lucky and Ireland are beginning to be 2 great dogs thanks to the help of Cindy Ford from Bark Busters. All this after 2 weeks of training. I would recommend Bark Busters and Cindy Ford to anyon.
