So proud of Cooper!! 🙌
He has made so much progress as we have worked to help him gain confidence. 💪
Cooper has quite a bit of anxiety and becomes reactive when he see’s a trigger in the environment. (People, other dogs, etc) 😨
Our latest field trips have included the pet store where he handled himself like a CHAMP!! 💪
Go Team Cooper!!!⭐️

We have been working with Finnegan after his owners noticed reactive behavior towards certain other dogs during play at Neighborhood BarK Bar & Boutique
We are following the following protocol…..
1. Daily Decompression and a break from the Dog Bar. (this helps to normalize the Hormone and Adrenalin levels after reactive behavior)
2. Focused Training in different environments.
3. Work on the ‘Leave It’ Command/Cue over and over and in several outside environments.
4. Practice Training at the Dog Bar when no other dogs are present.
5. Meet the dogs he is reacting to in a neutral environment. We do not allow them to meet up close and personal……We meet at a distance and watch their behavior.
We still have work to do but Finnegan is listening well to his owners at the bar and able to do some place work with other dogs present.
Kudos to Finnegan’s owners who have worked hard at following the training plan and practicing the Commands!
The bottom line in these situations is that our dog may never like a certain dog or dogs. It is up to us to manage them in certain environments or stop an activity when management is not possible.
A huge thank you to Neighborhood BarK Bar & Boutique for being so helpful with the training process!!

Woohoo!!!🎉
We have been working hard to help Buddy with his reactions to the door bell, outside noises and people entering the home. ✅
He would bark non stop and lunge towards anyone entering the home. 😵💫
He is getting much better and it is very exciting to watch him enjoy life without the underlying fear. ❤️
Go Team Buddy!! 🏁

Cooper!!!❤️
We are continuing our weekly sessions for Socialization, Anxiety and Reactivity. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Most Reactive and Aggressive behaviors come from Anxiety.😨
How does this happen?
*Lack of proper socialization during the first months and year of life.
*Lack of Proper Socialization due to handlers forcing the puppy to interact when he is uncomfortable.
*Too much stimulus in a short period of time. Taking a puppy or young dog to many different environments can cause our dog to shut down and we miss the signs that they are anxious.
*Improper leash handling. We mis-interpret our dogs behavior on leash and punish their normal reactions to other dogs, loud noises, people etc. Our Negative reaction (pulling on leash, yelling, etc) validates the dogs reaction in their mind.
Super proud of Cooper!!👏
As you see in the video……We have been able to walk around other dogs, people, runners, bicyclists….etc., with minimal reactivity and less anxiety. 🐾
We have a ways to go but making great progress!!🎉

How can I exercise my dog if I do not have a yard???!!
I am so glad you asked!! ⭐️
My back yard consists of a pool and small patio. This does not leave my dog Butte an area to run. 💧
Although Butte loves to swim, he also needs other forms of physical as well as mental exercise or enrichment.✅
The video below demonstrates how to exercise your dog on a long line.👏
As you can see….it is very similar to how horses are exercised in a corral. 🐎
The method in the video works well if you do not have an extended period of time for a long walk or hike.🐾
You can purchase a Biothane Long Line from my Recommended Products Page or go directly to Amazon. 👍
As always…..Make sure the area you choose to exercise your dog is free from potholes, debris etc….🛟
This exercise of for fully grown, adult dogs only. ✋
Go Team Dog!!

Teaching ‘Around’! 🎉
Devin learned a few new skills at this week’s training session. ⭐️
We used the cones to teach ‘Around’. The video show’s how to use ‘Luring’ to move the dog in a figure 8 pattern. 👏
Teaching ‘Around’ can be useful for many dog sport’s but may also be used on dog walks and daily interactions with your dog.
Learning NEW CUE’s, SKILLS OR COMMANDS is a great way to build FOCUS 👀, Enhance Your Relationship with your dog and add ENRICHMENT (mental and physical exercise).
Go Team Devin!!
