Muzzle conditioning/training
Success comes in many different ways, this is just way way in which you can get a muzzle trained. It's not a quick process but these are the steps to get us there.

A place command works for so many different scenarios, this is just one of those scenarios.

Morning hand feed routine. Change it up everyday keep it fun, keep them thinking.

I took elsa for 90mins, had 3 environment changes and encountered 6 people. Of those 6 people, she barked at 2 and only barked once. It was entirely my fault as I didn't see them. I'm sure that if I did, she would have walked straight past like the other 4.
Now, although she didn't react to 4 of the 6 people, this doesn't mean that she is good to go. 90mins is not enough time for her to be corrected, then remember she doesn't need to react when her reactive response is so hardwired.
Like most scenarios in dog training, it's 20% dog 80% onwer (Elsa's owners are fully aware of this). I guided Elsa through stressful situations by being calm and clear with the behaviours I expected. Corrected when needed and rewarded more. Excited to she how we get on with our next couple of sessions.
ENGAGEMENT IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS!
7 mins was all it took for Rocky to realise that if he played the game correctly, he was rewarded with a treat. Now, because of this, I became the most interesting, most rewarding thing in the world to Rocky. As you can see, by the end of this clip, Rocky, without any direction from me, was walking on a loose lead in the heel position.
Something to note here. I'm not the slightest bit bothered about Rockys behaviour here. No corrections were made for jumping up or not responding to me. Obedience comes later.
If you have no engagement with your dog, you don't have the foundations to build a positive working relationship.

Working with Laiden recently. Laiden had no manners at all, but although he looks menacing and is extremely boisterous, he's a big softy at heart.
No engagement and no obedience to begin with, but within 1 hour, he went from uncontrollable to a lovely heel walk with full engagement. He just needed some guidance to get there.

The engagement game. To create a relationship built on trust and guidance your dog has to engage with you! NO ENGAGEMENT, NO TRAINING!
Laiden coming along nicely.
More sessions with this guy to come.
