Recall training with Murphy
This is the first time Murphy was able to be off leash in his yard without mom and dad trying to get him back!!! We started with positive reinforcement (treats) to establish what a recall cue meant, then moved to practice longer distances with a long line. Now that he has mastered that, he has an ecollar for further reinforcement. He nailed it!!
Dutton Conditioned Relaxation
This is a major victory. It took a little over an hour to get Dutton to sit (AND STAY ON HIS OWN!) with a stranger in the room. We had to tag team with mom at the end.
Dutton is an extremely anxious dog. Anytime new people enter, he shakes uncontrollably, barks, and growls. He is unable to relax even after multiple visits. He also refuses treats even from mom. This exercise doesn’t require any communication with Dutton. We stand on the leash and let him relax on his own. We will get to a full behavioral down with time. But this is a major win for us!

Doodle NAILED Walmart!!! We saw not 1, not 2, but 3 fakes in the store within the hour session. Unfortunately we had to record for our safety as one of the dogs started barking and trying to jump out of the cart. I’m so proud of this girl for rocking her public access training.
Alert caught on camera by my service dog, Seven. Trained by myself.

Even Seven is not perfect. Car rides…totally fine. Car rides when it’s over 85 degrees…absolutely terrified 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ I don’t get it sometimes.
This girl has been amazing the last few sessions and come to find out she didn’t have any issues with the neighbor being outside?! I call that a major win!!!
I need to seriously start taking more pictures/videos but I get so focused 🤣
Trying to get that “place” command perfected outside. I’d say we are on the right track!!!
