Your dog’s struggles today don’t have to be their whole story. Tilly is beginning to show us hers.

Three sessions in, and this lovely girl is starting to let loose—running, playing and growing in confidence!

We know very little about Tilly’s life before she was rescued, so we can’t say what shaped her worries. What we could see when we first met was a dog who appeared tense, unsure and fearful.

Now, we’re seeing more moments of relaxation—and watching her stretch her legs and enjoy running has been wonderful. We brought out the flirt pole again today, giving her a positive outlet for her natural chasing instincts and another opportunity to have fun.

Training isn’t only about changing the behaviour we find difficult. It’s also about understanding what our dogs need. Opportunities to play, explore and use their natural instincts can make a meaningful difference, alongside clear communication and calm, consistent support.

There’s still work ahead with Tilly’s reactivity. Three sessions don’t mean the journey is finished, but seeing her become more comfortable and confident is progress worth celebrating. I couldn’t be prouder of her.

If walks with your dog leave you feeling anxious, frustrated or unsure what to do next, you’re not alone—and you don’t need to have all the answers before asking for help.

Change starts with taking that first step. Every dog’s journey is different, and I’m here to help build confidence at both ends of the lead, so you and your dog can work towards enjoying your walks again.

Ready to take that step? Get in touch and let’s talk about your dog.

If every dog walk feels stressful, it can be hard to imagine things getting better. Tilly is starting to show us what progress can look like.

Session two is complete, and this lovely girl is making an encouraging start!

Today, we focused on training markers—clear signals that help Tilly understand when she’s got something right. She’s responding really well and becoming more comfortable as we build that communication.

We also had a brief greeting with another dog who approached from behind. Rather than letting the approach catch her by surprise, we paused, allowed a short sniff, then calmly moved on. For that interaction, three to five seconds was enough—there was no need to prolong it. That doesn’t mean every dog needs to say hello; space and comfort still come first.

Does Tilly still react? Yes. We’re only at the beginning, and there’s more work to do. But where seeing another dog previously led straight to an outburst, we’re now seeing moments where she can walk past more calmly. Those moments matter.

Just as importantly, she’s becoming more relaxed and starting to play! Today she enjoyed the flirt pole, giving us another way to build confidence and make training fun.

Progress isn’t about expecting a dog to be perfect after two sessions. It’s about helping them feel safer, understand what we’re asking and gradually build the skills to cope.

If you’re struggling with a reactive dog, your walks today don’t have to define every walk ahead. Every dog’s journey is different, but with the right support, patience and a calm, consistent approach, change is possible.

Well done, Tilly—another positive step forward.

A big reaction doesn’t tell you the whole story. Meet Tilly—and welcome her to the team!

Tilly is a rescue Lurcher–Saluki cross, thought to be around five years old. Her owner has had her for approximately seven to eight months, and while we don’t know much about her past, we do know she’s an amazing dog who struggles when she sees other dogs.

During her consultation, Tilly appeared tense and unsure. That helped shape our starting point: building her confidence, trust and sense of security—not just focusing on her reactions.

Today was her first session, giving us a clearer understanding of how she responds around other dogs and where she needs support. There were some challenging moments, but as we worked through the session with a calm, steady approach, she began to look more comfortable and relaxed.

That’s progress worth celebrating. This is only session one—not a quick fix, but the beginning of building a solid foundation.

Our next steps will focus on working away from her triggers, introducing clear training markers, building confidence through play and giving her space to simply enjoy being a dog.

Tilly has completed session one of her eight-session programme, which includes one free session, and she’s made a brilliant start. Bring on tomorrow!

We also have another new client doing fantastically. Their owner has asked us to keep their journey off Facebook, and we fully respect that.

If walks with your reactive dog leave you feeling stressed or overwhelmed, you don’t have to face it alone. Get in touch to discuss how we can help.

We also support lead walking, heelwork, boundaries, recall and more.

SAME SESSION !

06/10/2026

I’ve had a number of last-minute cancellations recently, so I wanted to share a gentle reminder of my cancellation policy.

I always explain the 48-hour notice requirement during consultations or when clients decide to go ahead with training, but I know life can get busy and unexpected things happen. When a session is cancelled at short notice, it’s often too late to offer that time to another dog and family—and your dog misses out on valuable training time too.

I care deeply about every dog I work with, and I’m grateful for your understanding and respect for the time I set aside for each session. If you need to make a change, please get in touch as soon as you can. I’ll always do my best to be understanding when unforeseen circumstances arise. 🐾

Unforeseen circumstances
I understand that unexpected situations can arise. If a genuine unforeseen circumstance prevents you from giving 48 hours’ notice, please contact me as soon as reasonably possible. I will consider these situations individually and may waive the late-cancellation fee.

No-shows

⭐️⭐️REFRESHER SESSION!⭐️⭐️

From barking at everything to finding her feet — look at Lexi now.

There was a time when dogs, people and even the smallest noise could set Lexi off. If you’ve ever spent a walk bracing yourself for the next bark, you’ll know how overwhelming that can feel.

Lexi’s owner booked a refresher session to keep on top of her training, and it’s been lovely to see how far this little girl has come. She’s so much calmer now, and her owner is over the moon with her progress.

Is every walk perfectly quiet? No — you can still hear the odd rumble, and that’s okay. Progress isn’t about perfection. It’s about noticing the changes that once felt out of reach. This video shows Lexi as she is now, and I’m so proud of how well she’s doing.

If we’ve worked together before and you’d like a refresher, please reach out. And if you’re living with a reactive dog and feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Send me a message — I’m here to help you and your dog find a way forward.

03/10/2026

Another dog appears on your walk. Before your dog has reacted, you might notice your own grip tighten, your pace change or your breathing stop for a moment. Dogs can pick up on those little shifts.

This isn’t about blaming yourself or pretending to be perfectly calm. It’s about giving your dog a clearer way forward.

Next time, try to:

1. Pause and breathe. Notice what your body is doing.
2. Make space. Move far enough away for your dog to feel more comfortable.
3. Reward a check-in. Ask for a familiar, easy cue and reward your dog for turning back to you. Keep the lead comfortable where it’s safe.

Small changes before a reaction can make the walk feel easier for both of you. Save this for your next walk, and message Paws At Work Dog Training if you’d like help with calmer walks.

Get in touch if you need help with your dog reacting

Confidence isn’t built by avoiding everything unfamiliar. Dogs, like people, can feel unsure when they face something new.

The answer isn’t to overwhelm them. It’s to offer a manageable challenge, guide them patiently and celebrate each small success. One brave step becomes a breakthrough; with time, hesitation gives way to curiosity, trust and joy.
The goal is to help your dog discover, at a pace they can handle: “I can do this.”

If training keeps making your world smaller, it isn’t working.

First you stop the busy park. Then the high street. Then any route where another dog might appear.

Avoidance can prevent today’s reaction. It cannot teach your dog how to handle tomorrow’s trigger.

Good training does not remove the world. It gives your dog the skills to exist in it.

Use distance when you need it. Make progress the plan — not permanent escape.

Calmer walks. Confident owners.

From barking and lunging at dogs… to enjoying a 3-hour adventure session like this. 🐾❤️

This little one has come such a long way, and today she absolutely smashed it.

She joined me for a 3-hour adventure session, packed with new environments, challenges and plenty of opportunities to practise the skills that have been building her confidence.

For a dog who was once severely reactive — barking, lunging and struggling around other dogs and triggers — seeing her explore with her nose down, taking everything in and genuinely enjoying herself was incredible.

Throughout the session we worked on:

🐾 Recall
🐾 Heel work
🐾 Engagement and focus
🐾 Building confidence around distractions
🐾 Creating a solid foundation for real-world situations

And yes, there were plenty of things around that would previously have set her off.

But instead of reacting, she was able to process her environment, stay engaged and carry on with her adventure. 🙌

We took a little break for water and a rest before heading back out, and she was more than ready to continue.

I genuinely couldn’t be prouder of her.

This is exactly why training is about more than simply teaching a dog commands. It’s about helping them learn how to navigate the world, build confidence and make better choices when faced with things they once found overwhelming.

Progress doesn’t happen overnight — but with the right guidance, consistency and patience, those little wins can turn into huge changes.

And this girl is proof of that. ❤️🐶

Have you got a dog who barks, lunges or struggles around other dogs?

You’re not alone, and it doesn’t have to stay that way.

📩 Get in touch to find out how we can help you and your dog build confidence, improve engagement and enjoy walks and adventures together again.
