Token gets to go home tomorrow. We've enjoyed this sweet boys time with us. Like most labs, this boy was stealing food from the toddler and pulling on walks. Our main focus was "leave it", "place", and leash walking. Though he did go thru all the paces as well!

Something I teach all my clients is that stress is good.

All dogs get stressed out at some point in their life. For some it's walking down the road past barking dogs, getting into a vehicle, getting groomed/nails cut, going to the vet, hearing fireworks, or meeting new people.
Every dog is stressed by something and every dog responds to stress differently.

It's my job as a trainer and handler to not cater to that stress.

A lot of times, owners have every intention of helping the dog, but in reality they're reinforcing and teaching the dog to continue reacting badly to the stressful thing/situation.

By learning how to help your dog in a stressful situation, you'll help build a more confident dog.

Zyko was nervous of the blow dyer, instead of turning it off and teaching him being nervous gets rid of the stress, I worked him through it. Once he relaxed, I turned it off and within seconds he was ready to play with his toy.
He may never love being blow dried, but he will tolerate it, behave appropriately, and once it's done he's not going to fret over it anymore.
