No correction, just engagement π Before coming to Neutral K9, Jaymee was embarrassed of her sweet Millie because she really attracted all the attention with her screams! We focused on engagement with the handler. As a side effect, the Frenchie scream subsided. This is the second session. Weighing in on using a dominance collar, I really never anticipated using it for a French Bulldog however flat collars and harnesses allowed for the dog to practice the wrong behavior and frustrated the handler. She has practiced being reactive for so long that treats and toys didn't work. As a restart and new learning tool, I use the dominance collar to teach both handler and dog to be more calm, sensitive, and not be so hard on eachother. It was harmonious. #dogtraining #positivereinforcement #balancedtraining
Fun train time with Tali π If your training isn't fun, you're doing it wrong
Marking Tali's reaction time to cues
First class with a Bracco π Bassets are fun but learning to handle diversity is a goal for me. Eventually I'll make it to the ring in my own fashion with some gorgeous pups. Thankful for the opportunity!
When you have your dog's true motivation you have their mind β¨

Working pet dogs. I'm getting fat again π€£π
Just a reminder working the dog in front of you is key! If this were another dog we may consider a different type of training but because our bond and how I know this dog this is what we're coming up with on the start. The conflict needs to be identified in every situation. I learned about conflict through my research in bird dog training. π€£ Dog training is hard. This is still so messy too. But will get better. Smh!! Enjoy my PJS π€£
Timber did some training with us the other day for trial working on that loose leash walk and cues! Getting Timber in a good headspace really helps with his training! After we let him sniff around, play with Blondie, and go on an enrichment walk this was the boy we got! Happy and tired, we walked around the property in my tiger crewneck π€£
