Bucket is here for day training today. We did some work in town. He is the best LGD!
One of the tactics I use when training an insecure dog is to get them very comfortable with my dogs who are environmentally sound and use that relationship when exposing the dog to things that make them nervous. They can watch how my dogs react and follow their lead. Cannoli was really nervous of my big dogs at first but he is getting a lot more confident!
Board and train Ripken showing how eager he is for training. He is a puppy and gets very excitable. Every time he gets let out of his kennel, eats, goes outside ect I conditioned him to offer acceptable behaviors on his own instead of jumping up, pawing, pushing on people. He is 5 months and probably pushing 70-80lbs so he needs to learn very good manners so he doesn’t end up hurting someone on accident with his size. Also throwing in some commands as well 😍 he is such a cutie 🥰
Board and train Ripken checking out the snow this morning. I think it’s his first big snow. He was excited but unsure ❄️😊
Anyone else’s dog look possessed while sleeping, or is it just mine? 🤣
