I always give the owner the option whenever weather is involved. Some owners don’t want their pups out in the rain and that is entirely their own prerogative! I will say, however, that the only way to get your pup comfortable with being outside in the weather is to take them outside in the weather 🙃. This pup’s owner gave me free reign, and when it started raining during our walk, he was actually a little unsure—even in the video you can hear him barking because the water was running from him! Rainy days are a perfect opportunity for training and enrichment for your dogs, especially your puppies, and they get the chance to figure out early on that rain or shine, sometimes you HAVE to go outside!! #dogtraining #dogtrainer #gsd #germanshepherd #pup #puppy #allbreedswelcome #summer2024
This is why some pet services have breed restrictions and/or upcharges.
And yes this friendly fella did in fact make contact and bite me.
I will not be making base rate price changes based on breed, because #AllBreedsWelcome
I also knew he was willing to bite, the reason I was bitten was because I miscalculated his threshold when trying to wrangle him.
That’s a me error.
I am a professional, and a behaviorist, and I read his behavior, but mistakes happen and that’s not the owners fault.
This pup will need socialization though, and a lot of it.
He is not a hopeless case though! He’s a nervous dog! I have the knowledge to know the difference and am willing to work with this owner on adjusting this pup’s behavior.
My response would have been the same had he been a larger dog behaving in this same manner.
I’m a Black dog trainer. Of course I’ll become besties with your dog, and we’ll gossip, judge strangers, and take selfies together! If your dog doesn’t look forward to their training session, YOU SHOULD FIND A NEW TRAINER! #dogs #pets #puppies #pup #purebred #mixedbreeds #mutts #australianshepherd #sheepdog #pitbull #pug #boxerdog #doodle #allbreedswelcome #bhm #iamblackhistory
