Safeguarding is such an important subject…
So we are so glad to welcome Gabriella Russo to our community who has presented this really informative webinar on safeguarding. Here’s her introduction and we are glad that she’s provided our community with such important training.
Hello! I’m Gabriella, and I deliver safeguarding training to a wide range of organisations, professional bodies, businesses and individuals. My training will clarify your understanding about how safeguarding affects you and how you can help to protect yourself, the people in your teams and also your clients (the human ones!).
I understand that the training needs of each business and individual are unique to them. Because of this I tailor my sessions to ensure you and your team are equipped for the challenges you face. I bring over 25 years of experience in the safeguarding world to my work, plus a passion for people and a desire for all to understand that safeguarding is everyone’s business, whatever their business.
What is LAT?
Look At That is a game from Leslie McDevitt Control Unleashed programme and it’s my favourite and core exercise for a variety of situations and behaviours!
Teach your dog how to become a reporter, by telling you every time they see a trigger approaching, learning to start a conversation with you instead of reacting to it.
Your dog will ask you for help instead of dealing with the fear or the frustration on their own a the end of the lead.
The LAT game is going to help your dog dealing with:
Reactivity to other dogs and people
Distractions
Excitement towards other dogs and people
Movement and noise sensitivity
Fear responses
Car chasing
BIO
Adam and Stella run Delders Dogs and provide training services, behaviour consults, puppy classes and online membership. Through their unique view on raising puppies and teaching owners they have prevented countless resource guarding issues and helped owners and their dogs live in harmony. Join them as they dive deep into this subject and talk about their experiences dealing with resource guarding cases and how to prevent it in puppies.
Description
Resource guarding is one of the most common issues we get in puppy classes. Building confidence and overcoming reactivity is something we at Delders Dog pride ourselves on. We build confidence in puppies and owners week on week and vary rarely have any issues with reactivity or aggression. Resource guarding normally at a low level is something we see a lot in puppies, it’s a very natural but confusing behaviour for owners to deal with.

About Charly
I’m Charly and I own and run C-K9 Behaviour consultant (previously dog training with Charly) Working In the dog training world can be super tough and sometimes feel like your fighting a losing battle when it comes to local balanced trainers you may have But I want to take some time to talk through how to avoid the negative thoughts and not get sucked into the world of trying to defend your training style. I have the pleasure of living less than a mile from one of the largest balance trainers currently trending on line and I have the added positive that he knows exactly who I am! So I’m here to help sift through the troubles and the doubts people often have and talk through how to carry on without feeling like the balanced trainers are winning
