Rex has been going through our program for the past two weeks. Our main focus has been addressing his reactivity towards other dogs during walks. We are implementing a more structured approach to his walks and collaborating with the owners to enhance their handling skills in navigating distractions and providing appropriate feedback to defuse tense situations. Additionally, we are emphasizing structured play to develop impulse control and manage his prey drive. Rex is a wonderful dog, and the owner has been diligent in following through with the assigned tasks.

Engaging in training exercises with Bleu involves using both food and play, yet his food drive surpasses his interest in play. He’s progressing well in his second week of training. Next, we plan to include tracking exercises, send-away commands, and more. Bleu has a high enthusiasm for learning and grasps concepts with remarkable speed.

During walks, Charlie's owner has encountered difficulties due to Charlie's tendency to pull. Additionally, Charlie has displayed excessive vocalization towards people, dogs, and cars, eagerly pulling to approach them. In our first session, we focused on introducing Charlie to the walk by utilizing proper the equipment and setting clear expectations. Once he grasped this, we can begin to coach him through managing his reactions effectively.

After years of struggling with his reactions to bikes, runners, and dogs during walks, both parents found it challenging to handle him during the walks, especially with mom being 7 months pregnant. In a single session, we successfully communicated our expectations for the walk.

Utilizing the appropriate equipment benefits both the owners and their dog, alleviating years of unnecessary struggle. He is now more receptive to coaching and handling all the triggers that used to stress the owners.

The real work starts now...

Working the walk today with all the training dogs. During walks, all the dogs exhibit various behavioral challenges, ranging from intense reactivity towards other dogs and people to persistent pulling on the leash. These issues have significantly added stress for the owners to manage. To address these challenges, we employ a variety of distractions - such as people, dogs, and environmental stimuli - to help each dog adjust their stress levels and learn alternative behaviors instead of reacting impulsively.
