Today Barney completed the final session of his block booking with us at TruBalanceK9.

We continued working on his loose lead walking, building engagement and rewarding him with positive reinforcement whenever he chose to check in and focus on the handler. We also used appropriate lead pressure to help him understand when he was moving ahead and reinforce the desired position by our side.

To finish on a positive note, Barney enjoyed some freedom on the long line playing with his favourite ball. We also worked around distractions from off-lead dogs, giving him the opportunity to make the right choice and return his focus to us. When needed, gentle lead pressure helped break any fixation, and he was rewarded with his ball for making good decisions and choosing to ignore distractions.

A great way to finish his training block, and Barney has made some fantastic progress throughout his journey with us.

Charlie joined us for another one of his block training sessions today.

We continued working on loose lead walking, focusing on inside and outside turns to build a strong positive association with walking on the left-hand side. We also used lead pressure and positive reinforcement to help Charlie remain calm and engaged around distractions such as passing dogs and balls.

To finish, we had some fun on the long line, giving Charlie the opportunity to burn off some energy, explore his surroundings, and, as I like to say, “just be a dog.”A great session from Charlie today, and he’s continuing to make good progress. 🐾

We had Bruce in for his weekly training session at Trubalancek9.

Today we worked on his place command while introducing more new people into the environment to continue building his confidence around strangers.

We also set clear rules and boundaries for the people around him — no eye contact, no touch, no talk — allowing Bruce to stay calm and make better decisions without pressure.

Great session practicing neutrality, calmness, and preventing negative reactions.

Dewi’s Final Training Session 🐾

Dewi joined us for his last training session, and we finished by heading to a café to work on one of the most important skills — the art of doing nothing.

The goal was simple: settle, relax, and just exist calmly in a real-world environment. His owners did the right thing by giving him a good walk beforehand to take the edge off his energy, setting him up for success.

For his very first café visit, Dewi did amazingly well — learning that not every outing needs excitement, sometimes it’s just about switching off and chilling beside his people.

The plan now is for his owners to keep building on this, progressing towards relaxed pub visits and everyday social outings.

It’s been an absolute pleasure training Dewi. Good luck going forward — you’ve all done fantastic work 👏🐶
