Cooperative care is super important. If your dog finds it difficult there are steps we can take to build their confidence. One element of this can be having a predictable behaviour that you ask for where they can focus on you (also important that is has a strong history of reinforcement), this is easy to teach and practice at home.

Yogi came to stay to work through some human reactivity.
During his stay we assessed what was contributing and causing the reactivity, in his case it was fear. We then worked to counter condition and create more neutral associations with people along side creating an alternative response when he sees a person.
The clips shown here we were working in a busy area which we’d gradually built up towards. It’s important to initially start in low distraction environment where he is able to think and remain below threshold in order to learn and retain information.
We switched between more active focus and engagement to exploring the environment and relaxing into it. You can see his ears going as he is aware of the triggers behind him but he is able to remain engaged. As he turns to look he then chooses to disengage which is exactly what we’d been working on! Super effort Yogi!

Often I get asked how do you have 2 malinois in the house….most of the time they’re like this at home. We make sure they’re fulfilled through work, play, training and free time to be a dog through out the day.
Now don’t get me wrong if i asked them if they wanted to train/walk/anything at any point even upside down on the sofa…they’d be 110% up for it

You only get one chance at first impressions!
Puppy socialisation. The way we introduce our pups to things at the age can shape their view in the world.
Many owners put a lot of time into teaching sit first…are there other things we should be prioritising? After all we can teach sit at any age and we don’t get the opportunity to redo first impressions.
Make sure you follow to make sure you see the upcoming series on socialising your puppy!
(Dogs in video are a foster litter some of which are still looking for their forever homes, please get in touch if you think you could offer them one).
