Case stageBehavioural Audit
ProfileAged one in the joint assessment. Listed as Pegasus in the source title and Peggy in its detailed account.
01 · The presenting picture
The history described pulling and unreliable recall, with destructive behaviour at home. Pegasus was reported to be comfortable with people and dogs.
The joint report uses the name Peggy in its detailed account, where the individual observations are distinct from those recorded for Hercules.
02 · What the audit identified
Pegasus was excitable and intrusive in the home and before leaving. On the walk, engagement was limited and the requested cues were not demonstrated. Both owners encountered similar difficulties, making a shared handling approach important.
03 · The Canine UK strategy
- Build engagement and clear responses to familiar cues.
- Practise calmer starts and manageable lead work.
- Develop recall and maintained positions with suitable control.
- Transfer the same communication across both handlers.
04 · Recommended pathway
- Individual foundation sessions or residential training were proposed within the joint assessment, with progression towards distractions and owner transfer.
- The report does not establish attendance, completed training or later improvement for Pegasus. The proposed schedule should not be read as a record of delivered sessions.
05 · Owner transfer and maintenance
The proposed owner role was to use consistent timing and cues while practising with each dog individually. Pegasus's level of excitement needed to remain visible within the shared household plan.
