We recently adopted a beautiful big ex-racing Greyhound and were in desperate need of some training help and support. In particular we were having difficulty with leash pulling and distractions on walks. At 35kg, super strong and full of beans, we needed some strategies so we could feel confident managing our boy in any situation - we had a LOT of overwhelm! Tamara started by showing us simply how to create a line of communication with our boy. Over 6 lessons we learnt a variety of strategies to help improve our walks. When we started we were looking for even just a little bit of improvement and our boy has far exceeded this. The lessons were focused on building our confidence and training skills and better understanding how to 'speak dog'. The lessons are very much to train the human! We are incredibly grateful to Tamara for providing the tools and techniques we needed. Tamara puts in 110%, with evidence based, balanced training strategies and is always on hand for support. We will definitely come back for a refresher from time to time, but we couldn't be happier and nor could the dog! Re-training an adopted adult dog can be a slow road, but seeing him improve, be more settled and how happy and proud of himself he is has been, is one of the most rewarding things we have experienced πŸ₯° πŸ•
