Second Nature Behaviour have really helped us with our anxious & reactive dog, a miniature daxie. Zoe is especially knowledgeable and helpful. We have worked on:
-Walking from the house
-Welcoming visitors into the house
-Consensual handling and picking up
-Sound training
-Encountering big dogs
-Creating safe spaces for hiding/retreating
-Separation training
We now have a range of techniques & verbal cues that are helping to keep our dog calm and helping him and us to be responsive in positive ways. We feel that we understand him a whole lot better and can anticipate his needs and create an environment he feels safe in. Our work also helped to identify where pain as also a factor. You must be willing to put the work in between sessions to see a real impact. Really grateful to Second Nature Behaviour and highly recommend them.
