I’m Kelly and this is Bruno I’ve joined Walkys because I’ve been struggling with Bruno's big energy and overexcitement—pulling on walks, jumping up on everyone and just the lack of confidence and control i feel in our day to day. I’m excited to work on building more structure and communication so he can relax and we can both enjoy life more calmly.

I know this isn't related to training but one thing I'm ever so grateful as Buddy's owner is finding an amazing Babysitter if we should go away somewhere. I found Mel through Madpaws babysitter service. She is down in Kiama. She has been invested with Buddy's training during his time so when he stays with her she can keep it going. I get regular updates throughout the day what his up to and as you can see his having a ball, and even though she is missing her snuggles on the lounge with him she is respecting his training journey and is encouraging him to be on place on his day bed. When his with Mel I can relax knowing his very much loved.

This precious little poppet was left abandoned in the bush near Greystanes. I don’t understand how anyone could do that. My daughter came Across her when she was out walking. Just 4 weeks old!!!! My daughter took her to a vet for a couple of days and today she’s coming home to be part of our family. That’ll make 4 dogs at this address, 2 of which are mine. 😊

I've been struggling a lot with the lack of progress with my dogs and loose leash walking. Some days its left me in tears. I eventually gave up expecting things to improve and accepted that our walks would never be a pleasant experience. Last week I was watching one of the videos in the classroom where Nath was demonstrating threshold manners and something suddenly clicked into place. A dog that sits isn't necessarily calm!!! I had thought that if the dogs sit they are calm. I was getting my dogs to put their bums on the ground before we walk out the door, but as soon as we moved they lunged at the open door. Snoop Dog barks with excitement when I pull up at the bike path. I'd been getting him out of the car and expecting him to walk beside me calmly when he was already off the excitement scale. I now realise that I need to get the dogs to sit and stay sitting until I see they are actually calm. Our walk this morning was still a struggle, but I now feel like I understand what I need to do and I can remain calm.
