My 2 lab x collies had over time become a handful. They are a mother daughter team & the problems all started after mum had the pups. She got protective over the pup we kept & us as her family. She'd start barking at anyone who came anywhere near us. Heckles up & aggressive barking.Then pup learnt that was the way to do things. Eventually, as pup turned 3, I had to face up to my problem & admit they were out of control. I no longer walked them outside unless it was really early or really late because of their aggressive behaviour. I couldn't let anyone come to the house, if anyone knocked at the door I was in fear of them escaping.
Then I found Kate. To say I was terrified of Kate coming round our house for a 1-2-1 to see us is an understatement. I didn't want anyone judging me or telling me how bad a dog owner I'd allowed myself to become.
I needn't of worried. Kate immediately got to work. She wasn't phased by two 25kg dogs pulling on their leads to get her. Or the crying wreck on the other end of the lead! She didn't judge me either.
Kate has given me the tools in which to deal with my 2 reactive dogs. We now have a life back! I can now walk my dogs anytime of day. And I can even have people round my house!!! We still have a long way to go but with Kates help, we're really getting there. We see Kate each week at Training class now(mainly for the socialisation) & each week I'm truly amazed. My mummy dog makes a beeline for Kate & now rolls over for tummy rubs! A far cry from the greeting Marmite & Toast 1st gave Kate on that very 1st day! If your looking for a dog trainer or help with dog behaviour, you need Kate. Kate is a bit like God for us!
