Someone is currently experiencing some stranger danger, so we're focusing on positive exposure to help with that. In addition, I'm working on correcting and redirecting. As we go, I'm reinforcing the behaviors I want and marking them accordingly. 🐾
I don’t advise waiting to see a behaviour correct itself or for them to “outgrow it” as that rarely happens. Help guide your pup through it instead of letting them rehearse the unwanted behaviour and then forming a habit.

Bo’s first barnhunt trial. 3 runs and he qualified in all 3 which means a Novice title. 1st, 2nd and 4th in the 3 runs for his height. We also gave line drive a shot and he had it but I didn’t call it in time. Good job Bo!

Almost 7 weeks with Bruno 🐾 this guy gets a LOT of compliments when out in public for being well mannered so I thought I’d share my non-negotiables for bringing a new puppy into our household.

-No on leash greetings with dogs. This can very easily turn into leash reactivity from the expectation of saying hi to everyone! The same goes for allowing people to pet him while on leash.

-Skipping the harness. I only use harnesses for exercise such as biking, hiking, slatmills, etc. When dealing with large dogs you lose any control on a harness and I think leash pressure is an essential tool to communicate with your dog. Therefore we’re opting for a wide flat collar while he’s young so he’s used to leash pressure and communication through the leash.

-No dog parks/daycare. While some daycares can be structured (I know of one great one). I value prioritizing neutrality over interacting with random dogs. I also think daycare can be an easy way to end up with an overstimulated dog that struggles to settle.

-Focusing on exposure over “socialization”. A lot of people struggle with socialization and end up either over or under socializing. The first months of your puppies life are very important. We are exposing him to lots of different things while working on staying engaged with us around any distractions.

-Crate training!! Great for nap time and helping with independence. He has started putting himself down in his crate when tired which is great to see at 15 weeks old.

-LOTS of one on one time. This is very essential in multiple dog households and often skipped. I want my dogs to be focused on me over their housemates.
