Hi pals! Welcome back to #LearnWithFlynn! Please follow along & add your comments using the #, we love learning from you too 😊 Always seek help from a kind pawfessional fur reactivity issues. As I've had new followers since LWF was pawsed, we decided to recap old LWFs & add some New, so it will be a long one today! Also, Mummy H is nervous about & very self conscious of being on camera, so she's asked me to say, please be kind! Videos are way out of her comfurt zone. So, what have we learnt so far?

Hi Pals! Welcome to #LearnWithFlynn Usual reminder, Mum's not a qualified trainer. Always seek professional advice for reactivity.

Seal ears = so far back ears nearly disappear. Big fear sign!

Hi Pals! Welcome to another session of #LearnWithFlynn. Please use this hashtag to follow along. Another reminder: any advice given by me and Mum is based on our anecdotal experiences and research. Always seek professional advice for reactivity issues. Today's topic is... Identifying triggers. A trigger is anything that may cause a reactive response. I have many triggers. Some are largely resolved (with a little help from my friends), some still require work and some triggers are yet to be identified... #LearnWithFlynn
