Gunner ✨️ PROOF of Positive Progress ✨️

A few words from Mumma & Dad Gunner 🐶🤍

"He’s definitely listening more on walks now and is not as afraid of other dogs, which is so nice! Gunner has had such a positive experience with Wander & Wild and come on in leaps and bounds. You are honestly superheroes!"

When Gunner first started with us, he was very fearful of the big wide world. He was an inspiration behind our service Sensitive Souls 🌿 we helped to desensitise, decompress and regulate his nervous system, through; gentle exposure & positive reinforcement techniques.

After 3 months of Sensitive Souls & 1:1's with his paw-rents, he was ready to progress onto ⚡️Teenage Dirtbags ⚡️

Now 8 months on, this boy has transformed ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Goal One:
to be less fearful of strangers

🟢 Less woof farts (the quick puffy woofs)
🟢 Less tippy tappy toes when meeting strangers
🟢 Less leaping around in fear
🟢 Less whale eye (white bits showing in his eyes)
🟢 Less mouthing once guests are in his space
🔸️Doesn't back up, in fear
🔸️Becomes more resilient over touch around his head
🔸️Puts harness on without flinching

Goal Two:
to reduce jumping up & barking at strangers passing (same fear of humans)

🟢 Less jumping up in & out of the house
🟢 Able to 'settle' as strangers walk by (on lead)
🟢 Able to 'settle' in a quiet public cafe
🟢 More eye contact "checking in", focus and engagement with walker or paw-rent
🟢 Responds to "touch" and "between"
🟢 Excellent "heel" & eye contact

Goal Three:
space invasion conditioning & trusting hands

🟢 Less anxious over confined space, if being asked to get "OFF" the sofa- responds without fear & happily makes his own choices to get OFF
🟢 Uses "between" legs to feel more secure
🟢 Quick responses to "touch" - positive counter conditioning of hands
🟢 no longer barks nor is fearful of guests entering his home
🟢 Happy to pass strangers within 2m on lead without jumping, leaping and pounding around

✨️ Amazing positive progress Gunner- mumma & daddy, you should all be so proud of yourselves ✨️

✨️ PROOF of Positive Progress over 3 months ✨️
⚡️Gus, our Teenage Dirtbag⚡️

✅️ 70% responding to "wait" as an impulse control and safety measure for when on lead - I would actually say he has exceeded this at 90% !

✅️ Significant improvement on focus and engagement on short lead when "high arousal triggers" are present aka- new dogs & people passing

✅ Significant mprovement on recall when on loose long line lead & "high arousal triggers" aka dogs & humans, are passing off lead in an open space

✅️ Less lunging, pulling, whining & jumping around anxiously when in a new environment

✅ Can achieve "wait" on loose long line, and a 20m distance between walker & Gus- 80% bossed this!

🔸️Reduced jumping up & barking at new & existing people, out of the house

🔸️Less nervous of: confined space invasion anxiety: positive touch conditioning near his head or walking head on towards his face, including putting on his harness

🔸️Less nervous of jumping into vehicle - existing & new vehicles- 50% less time of hesitation & anxiety

✨ Calm, confident and consistent training, does make progress- Gus, you have proved it ✨

Welcome to Maddy 👋 (grey, cream coloured fox-like dog) is a rescue from Romania

Maddy is the sweetest, most sensitive soul, who is learning to trust this big, wide world 💫

Maddy has been fostered by Rory's mum and dad (our Adventure Dog on our Adventure Days for almost 3 years) .....

They have introduced her to a lead and harness for the first time in her life!

She has spent her life making her own choices, having independence & in control of her own exposures....

To; new smells, new environments, new confinements on a lead (learning to be a pet). Whilst there are many magical moments for her, like; enjoying and embracing the connection and love from Rory's family and now joining Teenage Dirtbags.....

With 🌿Consideration 🌿 as part of our mission, we are considerate of understanding her anxieties, her overwhelm, her uncertainty & sensitivities.

On our first day, we spent the day observing her behaviours and body language, understanding what her quirks are, seeing her responses to certain situations, gently and shortly exposing her to new environments, introducing her to calm, confident dogs for her to mirror (we knew she was very social with other dogs). Introducing positive "stooge" dogs, helps others, who show fear-based behaviours, to help them grow confidence, this coupled with positive reinforcement & behavioural transformation approaches

For example, she can learn from us all, as we walk into a building or pass a bike or walk up steps, without fear and with confidence and grace 💫

Lots of positive reinforcement, nervous system regulating techniques, building up focus and engagement and changing the way she FEELS in each moment, is our goal 💫

This is the most rewarding & emotional, part of our jobs, when you watch a dog to positively progress, towards confidence, connection and feeling safe ✨️
