Woody, a Scottish Terrier
Comments
from Loralei:
"Woody was a whirling dervish that barked non-stop the first time I went to
visit Yvonne and him. He had an even bigger problem outside because he was
highly reactive to other dogs. This meant that Yvonne had to purposely walk
him at times when she was sure not to encounter anyone. Being a Scottie
lover myself, I loved his feisty personality but he needed to learn to focus
more on Yvonne and less on setting his own agenda. I must commend Yvonne on
her commitment to working with Woody and it was a pleasure to see the
progress he made each week when we got together. Woody is still full of
personality but without the constant vocalizing so many terriers exhibit.
It just goes to show you what can happen when you learn to "speak a dog's
language".
Comments
from Woody's Owner, Yvonne:
"I was given Woody right after I was separated and needing a companion. I
had no idea how to handle a Scottish Terrier. When I moved to Houston, I
knew the move was stressful on Woody as it was on me. I looked up dog
training and found you. What a great day that was! Not only did you make
home training sessions but you also had 2 Scottish Terriers of your own.
Woody has gotten better with having people and other dogs pass by while he
is outside by learning how to distract him. I have gained confidence in
myself with this training especially how to handle Woody since he is a very
active dog. THANK YOU Loralei for your expertise and patience."
