Peanut, the 7 year old Chihuahua Mix, is currently enrolled in our private training program for behavior modification. His original owner passed away and now he is in a new environment with more activity such as children on scooters, bicycles in the neighborhood, and guests coming over. He is reactive in the neighborhood when seeing triggers. He is very nervous around children and responds aggressively. We are implementing muzzle conditioning, management, systematic desensitization, and counter-conditioning to help Peanut feel more at ease in his new environment. He is also enjoying learning his obedience cues. Though he is fearful, once he is comfortable with someone he is quite the friendly and social pup. We are excited to work with him and follow his progress.

Penny, the 7 month old Boykin Spaniel, is currently enrolled in private training lessons for behavior modification training. Penny struggles with Pica, a condition that results in her eating non-food items. Prior to training, she has had 2 foreign body surgeries to remove socks that she ingested. We have implemented heavy management, muzzle conditioning, and a referral to her vet as well as a veterinary behaviorist. When working with Pica it is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions for the behavior, as well as reducing her stress and anxiety. She is making tremendous progress in training. She is enjoying learning her obedience cues, working on her impulse control, and the increase of physical exercise. Great job, Penny!

Beau, the 3 year old Australian Shepherd Mix, is currently enrolled in private training lessons for behavior modification. He's in training to combat his human aggression, dog reactivity, and begin preparing for a new human sibling. Beau struggles with fear aggression and is very weary of new guests. Prior to training he was very avoidant of guests except when he felt he had no other option than to display aggression to protect himself. He is beginning to learn that guests predict good things for him and he does not have to engage with them. He is also learning to relax in the presence of other dogs that are not in his immediate household. He is progressing beautifully with guests. His pet parents are expecting a baby in January. We have started baby prep by conditioning him to wear a muzzle for safety, getting him familiar with baby items, and creating scenarios that he may experience with a life like babydoll. He has shown no signs of showing aggression towards the babydoll, but we want ot be as proactive as possible and set him up for success. Awesome work, Beau!
