Meet Bella! 🐾
At 7 years old, this sweet Bichon had spent years practicing some habits that her family was ready to change. Walks often felt more like a tug-of-war, as Bella pulled on the leash and reacted to every dog she saw by barking and lunging. Guests coming to the house were greeted with plenty of barking, and Bella never missed an opportunity to jump up and say hello.
At home, she kept herself busy by chasing the family cat, helping herself to snacks from the countertops, and treating the trash can like her personal buffet. Her recall only worked when a treat was involved, making off-leash freedom nearly impossible. While Bella is incredibly loving, she had learned that if she wanted something, she could usually make it happen.
Fast forward to today, and Bella is a completely different dog. ✨
She now walks politely on a loose leash, ignoring other dogs instead of barking and lunging at them. Her recall is reliable, allowing her family to confidently call her back without needing to wave a treat around first. Guests can come and go without a chorus of barking, and Bella has learned to keep all four paws on the floor instead of jumping up for attention.
Inside the home, she understands boundaries, leaves the cat alone, stays out of the trash, and no longer patrols the countertops looking for snacks. Most importantly, Bella has learned how to relax, listen, and look to her handlers for guidance.
It’s never too late for a dog to learn new habits. Bella is proof that even after years of practicing unwanted behaviors, consistency, structure, and clear communication can completely change a dog’s life.
We are so proud of this little girl and can’t wait for her family to enjoy all of her hard work! ❤️🐾
