And not a shock collar in sight!
I love to remind aversive trainers: just because YOU can't train a behavior without aversives doesn't mean the rest of is can't either.
Can't tag Ivan properly because he blocked me 🤭

This has been so hard for Hime, especially since she's in hear! Boys are very, VERY interesting. We also were practicing sitting still, which Hime thinks is dumb.

Freya has been working on her frustration reactivity for a while now, and this is the closest she has gotten to another dog while walking with me without barking!

Good relationship + proper training > shock collar.
Your dog won't run away from you if that relationship is strong & you've worked hard on training. Don't let people scare you into thinking you need a shock collar to keep your dog with you.

Throwback to this wacky experiment where I tested a shock collar on myself. Enlightening, but ultimately pointless as dogs don't control the shock & their skin is half the thickness of ours.
Don't try this at home!

Force free trainers are not euthanizing dogs. Period.
Gia was a little antsy and unfocused during this walk, so I took her to a picnic table to practice relaxation. Even in a distracting environment like a neighborhood park, she was able to settle and stay in a down for almost 5 minutes, completely by her own choice! She was rewarded for staying calm when she heard things or saw people.
The rest of the walk went much better thanks to this break we took.

Nessie is very bouncy and grabby when exciting things are happening, and she LOVES to chase. As such, she hasn't been trusted loose around the toddler in the home yet.
For the first time, Nessie has been in the same room as the toddler without a gate in between and she did a fantastic job! She's on leash just in case, but she was able to watch the toddler without running after her and even chose to go lay down without being asked!
