Barney, the 7-month-old Cocker Spaniel, has recently completed his 8-week residential training stay with us while his owner took the time needed to recover from a hospital stay. During his time here, Barney made incredible progress—not only in his obedience skills but also in his emotional development and confidence. When Barney first arrived, he was a worried and insecure young dog. He lacked basic training and struggled with a number of challenges. He would bark nervously at unfamiliar people, run away from other dogs during walks, and found unfamiliar noises quite frightening. His recall was non-existent, he would often ignore instructions, and he was known to chase the cats at home, making life a bit stressful for both his family and the other animals in the household. He also had little impulse control and struggled to settle, especially in stimulating environments. Over the past 8 weeks, we have worked steadily to introduce and reinforce a complete foundation of obedience and life skills. Barney has learned key cues such as sit, down, middle, bed, leave and wait. He now walks politely on a loose lead, even around distractions, and his recall has improved dramatically—he now returns reliably, even when there are tempting sights, sounds, or smells nearby. He has practiced settling both at home and in public places, such as cafés, and is now able to lie calmly on his bed while someone cooks in the kitchen. This ability to relax on cue has helped him find a sense of calm in a variety of day-to-day scenarios. We also spent a great deal of time working on Barney’s confidence around both people and other dogs. Using gentle, reward-based methods, we helped him reframe his emotional responses so that he no longer sees unfamiliar people or dogs as scary or overwhelming. Instead, he has learned to stay calm and connected to his handler in those situations. This emotional transformation has made a huge difference in his quality of life and means that walks are now far more enjoyable for both Barney and his future handler. To further support Barney’s development, we introduced enrichment activities such as scentwork and dog parkour. Scentwork allowed him to engage his nose and brain in a calming, rewarding way, helping to build focus and emotional regulation. Parkour added a fun and confidence-boosting element to his training, encouraging him to engage physically with his environment, navigate obstacles, and build resilience through positive experiences. We’re so proud of how far Barney has come. He’s gone from a nervous, untrained youngster to a much more balanced, obedient, and confident companion. We’re excited for him to return home and continue building on everything he’s learned—he’s laid the foundations for a bright future ahead. www.adolescentdogs.com
