Elsie

Puppy training sessions for Elsie the blue staffy. Elsie’s owners came to me for training when she was 5 months old, seeking help to give her the best start in life but also to address a few unwanted behaviours that had cropped up and they were unsure of how to manage. 

Over the course of our sessions, we worked together on a number of key areas:

• Recall 
• Focus on walks
• Loose lead walking
• Calmness around visitors
• Doorbell desensitisation
• Boundary training at the front door
• Mouthing/puppy biting behaviours 
• Over excitement around other dogs
• Toilet training
• Digging in the garden
• Enrichment opportunities

This might seem like a lot to tackle but Elsie was a superstar throughout and her owners showed 100% dedication to her and her training. We found ways to address the route cause of her behaviours (which was general puppy excitement!) and by addressing this, everything else fell into place for Elsie. 

Elsie has now learnt solid routines and behaviours, which she can take forward with her through adolescence and into adulthood, in order for her to be happy, calm, enriched pooch.
