Star the 19 week old Standard Poodle puppy, is here is with me for a 4 week board and train while her dad is visiting family in Singapore. Shes going through a bit of a fear period at the moment, so the only thing I’m looking for here, is that shes not too stressed out. I’m also encouraging her interacting with the environment and looking at everything because how else will she learn to process the world? She’s still giving me some beautiful engagement, but I also want her confident in herself, not just confident that she’s only safe because I’m right there.
* I use a harness and flexi set up for this sort of training because there is no pressure then placed on the dog and if they do have a big scare and kick into flight, they don’t feel as trapped. This is not the set up I recommend if you need control in an environment. I had a slip lead ready to go in my pocket incase I needed it, and had plenty of tasty food in my treat pouch to get her attention if needed. *
