I don't walk my dogs

Confession time! I don't walk my dogs. In this article I discuss why walks are not the most important thing in a dog's life and what you can do instead! I own 3 working line, high drive and energetic Border Collies. They don't run around my yard excessively, they live indoors and they are fairly calm dogs. This isn't a fluke, it's training and meeting their needs. In this article I explain what I do and why.

My own reactive dog

I too have owned a reactive dog and I learnt so much from her. When I coach a client with a reactive dog I know exactly how you feel, I know the anxiety of coming across another dog and I know the stress of having to take my dog out for a walk. In this article I share Ella's story and some things I did wrong with her training and what I do differently now with clients.
