Update on Bo ๐ค๐ถ๐ค
Bo started training with me back in September & he is one of my hardest behavior modification EVER ! ๐ฑ
Back then, soonest he saw a person or a dog within 100ft he was highly reactive paired with aggression, lunging, barking, the whole 9 yards !
Going to a park, woods, a parking lot or even the vet was literally impossible without any heavy sedation medication !
His owner Ashleyn continued to work with him & me on a weekly basis over the past 8 months with up and downs and this week, Ashleyn was able to walk him into his vet clinic without him loosing it & me being closer is possible as well !!! ๐
They both have a long way to go, however THIS DOG - HANDLER TEAM is absolute proof, that training pays off !!!
I'm so proud of Ashlyn Seeley & Bo, they came so, so, so far in the past 8 months & I can't wait to see what they gonna conquer in the next year !!!
Here is to Bo & Ashleyn!!

Part 2 of the 2nd video of Jax & his nails ๐พ๐ค๐พ
๐พ๐ถ๐ค Here is the 2nd video of Jax getting his nails cut. This time he gave me some small corporate issues but nothing which could have been fixed in the same session. The video is in 2 parts because it's a total of 7 minutes long.
And I apologize for my hair, it's been a little windy today ๐คช๐๐พ
๐พ๐ค๐ถAlot of my clients are having problems with the nail clipping. In most cases dogs have to be forced to hold still and have traumatic experiences at the vets and groomers.
I made a video where I sit down with Jax for the 2nd time and was able to do 1 paw without a bad experience.
I did not talk much during that video because it would confuse Jax by me talking & explaining things.
But technically it's only 5 steps:
1) Teach your dog to hold still in a certain position / spot.
2) Desensitize your movements towards the leg and feet. Some dogs need longer, others get it quicker.
3) Pick up the leg / foot and hold it for 10 seconds. Do that with every leg.
4) No stress in that situation. Let the dog figure out that you don't want anything bad. No rush!!!
5) Click after each nail so they get rewarded for holding still.
If you have any questions feel free to call.

Remember Luna, the white Shepherd girl which was labeled Fear aggressive?
Well no aggression to see, just insecurities which are workable ๐ค๐คทโโ๏ธ๐
First time at the park working on the recall which she passed with flying colors. ๐ฅฐ๐ถ๐ฅ
Assisi Loop
๐พ๐ถ๐ค Sonic Update:
We had 10 Laser Treatments, 2x daily the Assisi Loop PEMF at home plus 30 days of Inflammatory Meds.
It seems that it is helping. He is not limping anymore. Next week we see the Vet again & probably add another round of Laser Treatment, PEMF treatment plus Underwater Treadmill to start building muscle.
Sonic seems to "like" the Assisi Loop & is relaxing during the 15 minutes of "holding still" ๐คฃ
We will see what the Vet says next week !!
Keep us in your prayers please that his shoulder is healing & that he is making progress ๐ค๐ถ๐พ
Trip & the spools
๐พ๐ฅฐ With Sonic being out of commission this weekend Trip got to play a little bit too and what is there to say: He dis great for a little BC. Love my boys. First time for him to go over the spools to get the "Bad guy". Not to shady for a Border Collie !
Trip got so much heart & his trying really hard to the right thing. We had a blast. Thank you Charlie !!
