Do you believe expending energy is necessary in your household? I do believe scheduling a time to play with your dog will give them something good to look forward to vs entertaining themselves with fence fighting etc. if it is a problem for you to walk your dog; then reach out and allow us to guide you to a better experience.
Bolt: uncut with this dude and we are adding new challenges; it starts out kinda sloppy, but as I persist, the understanding begins to clear.
Merci log: one of our tricks is coming together but I almost screwed it up. You can see me pause, pull tight on the leash, attempt to pull her out of it but then I just let her go.
The attempt to stop was made out of old training habit (I did not want her to do it, just yet) but I felt the insistence from Merci. I let her go because I can always clean it up later. That’s not to say I’m procrastinating the issue because I can actually clean it up later.
Wanted to film a video of handling conflict, it didn’t go to plan, or did it?
Scene one: gtfo- some conflict we can just toss out, so we can get back to the moment, but we still have to consider the ramification of these actions (do they pile up or work themselves out)
Scene two: was supposed to be paired with high heels walking on the floor to create an obvious and annoying problem
Scene three: again.. everything starts off right but goes upside down
Scene four: it looks like everything is “fine” but Bolt is not getting what he wants
The ending: what kind of ending is that?
How will I deal with all of this? I did what I could and got on with it; I will, however, revisit/reshoot another time but this still doesn’t guarantee me a “great” outcome. I will receive feedback again and adjust accordingly.
Bolt: Just messing around with thresholds
I used the f-bomb with Merci 😢
My first attempt at this video was a real sh*t show but that allowed me to walk the same path with more knowledge.
Hell yeah! Merci came with zero interest in toys or working, so I put her on a diet, pushed her in a direction. I had every doubt this would happen, she gave me no reason to believe she would come out, and now we are here.
Just a game of “risk the fingers”
Messing around with Bolt.. watch at a very low volume. This was dinner time and I do allow merci to go nuts. Eventually I will switch the energy; cap inside the kennel and allow it to leak through obedience
No dog too aggressive! No dog too small! We will accomplish the mission at hand!
