Nashville's Leash Update!
Nashville’s family and owners always had difficulty even attempting to take him on walks.
He would bite the leash, jump up towards them, and very resistant to walk.
When you initially get a dog, one of your first few thoughts are going on calm, relaxing walks together…right?
Nashville, resisting to walk on a leash, had built a lot of pent up energy, and his ways of getting exercise were all high intensity. He never knew calm, structured exercise.
It was clear that his family was pretty upset that they couldn’t walk him, so we worked hard to get him to a better place with the leash!
In the first video, you can see exactly how Nashville would be the moment he stepped outside on leash.
Resisting
Hesitating
Biting
Being a little punk!
It’s not easy for any owner to have to deal with!
The second video shows Nashville walking with his dad (the same person in video 1), and what I loved the most was that he matched his dad’s pace. Nashville’s dad had an injury on his leg causing him to not be able to walk fast and without a small limp. Nashville stayed in tune with him, he made sure he wasn’t trotting ahead or pulling on the leash, and he stayed by his side.
Within the past week so far, he has gone on walks with multiple family members and has been doing GREAT on walks! They’ve noticed that he’s calmed down tremendously, and they’re excited to keep going with his training!
Proud is an understatement! Keep it up!!
