‘Blade’ is a 5 year old male German Shepherd Dog who’s owners were having issues with his extreme aggressive reactivity around humans. They were unable to invite people into their home due to his aggression towards them, making life very stressful! Following a full days consultation at their holiday home, I was able to show them how to teach ‘Blade’ that he did not need to react aggressively towards any visitor that they invited into the home. Training was done with inviting the neighbour round too who previously had been bitten by ‘Blade’ and for the first time sat down next to him without any reaction. 

‘Blade’ is also reactive towards other dogs so an initial address to this was done on the day but I had a follow up ‘one to one’ dog reactivity session with ‘Blade’ the following week. The owners informed me of  a great change around visitors at home and they were now going on dog walks with the neighbour. Also, by the end of the ‘dog reactivity’ session, a vast improvement could be seen in ‘Blade’ once he realised he didn’t need to use aggression to protect himself or Mum and Dad and that calm behaviour, as always, gets rewarded!
