I
recently
adopted
a
Belgian
Shepherd
who
has
developed
some
lead
reactivity
and
towards
other
dogs
and
would
bark
at
them
uncontrollably.
A
friend
recommended
Belinda
from
Pawfectionist
and
she
drove
all
the
way
to
our
place
for
an
in
home
consult.
Within
the
2
hours,
Belinda
explained
why
our
girl
was
behaving
in
certain
ways
and
taught
us
the
difference
between
our
perception
and
their
perception,
and
how
a
lot
of
her
behaviours
were
driven
by
fear.
She
taught
us
training
techniques
that
were
easy
to
pick
up
and
super
effective
for
our
pup,
and
when
we
went
for
a
walk
together,
Belinda
showed
us
practically
how
to
do
a
correction
and
the
importance
of
timing
in
both
rewarding
and
correcting
behaviours.
I’m
very
pleased
to
discover
that
after
the
consult,
and
within
a
mere
few
days,
our
Shepherd
no
longer
pulls
and
I
feel
confident
to
go
for
walks
now.
Of
course,
the
lead
reactivity
is
still
an
ongoing
issue,
but
before
meeting
Belinda,
I’d
avoid
going
for
walks
and
would
be
stressed
every
time
we
see
another
dog
on
the
road.
Now,
after
one
single
consult
with
The
Pawfectionist,
I
am
no
longer
anxious
when
I
walk
my
girl,
and
actually
get
excited
when
I
see
another
dog
(as
we
can
practise
and
get
better!)
Highly
recommend
Belinda
as
a
dog
trainer
(or
dog
owner
trainer
as
I
see
it)
who
is
very
patient
and
great
at
explaining
things.
So
so
glad
we’ve
found
her
for
our
dog.
PS:
the
treats
at
the
shop
in
Greensborough
are
absolutely
amazing
and
my
dog
loves
them!
