PUPDATES RULE!!!
Still doing great at the beach and walking.
Now some swim time.
Today's in home was with Obie.... 14 month old excitable happy lab. Kind of would do what he wanted to do at all times. Not anymore :-) we lead him through. We tell him what we're going to do. Not the other way around.
Another successful pack walk. Thank you for all of your support and for doing what you need to do to help socialize and create a better world for your dogs. 40 dogs... and most of these dogs are here not because they're friendly. Many of them have fear aggression and would never in a million years be out in public like this. This is why I do what I do. We get the dog to begin to trust and lead them through the world making decisions for them. It's a beautiful thing. Teaching the humans to understand their dogs.
My second in home today... a little video action :-)
Pack walk #1 of 2024. Smaller than expected crowd. The rain kept some away. But, we had a great time nonetheless. Thank you all for coming out.
I don't care how hot I get. I love the sun. Sizzling like a hamburger.

PUPDATE: COLT AND RUBY
These two dogs needed to get along. Their humans were very unsure about the whole thing. The old guy COLT had to have a muzzle on. The young Ruby was over excitable and was out of control. It was a nightmare for them. One in home. Teaching and leading them through the steps. Teaching the awareness and subtleties. The command. The claiming of the space such that the dogs would not use the humans to become protective and react to one another. Breaking fixations. Now look at them. 6 days after the in home. Boom
Hey John...we've been working on "leave it".
That inevitable moment during an in-home that I have to pull out my Kuato...😁
First in home of the day was with Tucker... completely unable to walk on a leash. Also had lots of separation anxiety. See? Things can happen rather quickly. This is one in home. 15 minutes after the start of the walk. I took the lead for the first 10 minutes. Then handed it over to Tucker's mom...
Me and Meaty watching old school In Search Of... with Leonard Nimoy the Bigfoot episode. Well, I'm watching it.
PUPDATE: COOPER
Hi John. Cooper would once again for teaching him and his mommy how to get him to walk on a leash and for the pack walks. Just wanted to show you that he is improving so much more and more every day. Thank you so much.He walked right past the dog and didn’t even give it a second thought. Kind of hard to see in the video.
Client after the in-home...2p.m.😄
PUPDATE: WAYLON

Waylon enjoying his time at the lake. He’s only been in the water a few times since we adopted him and he loves it.
See you in a couple weeks!
Today's in-home was one of the most sweetest daners you've ever seen. Shiloh. Just a little insecure. She was very sensitive. Just a little snap of a finger or a little sound would break her off of those fixations and teach her how to trust. One of the best in homes I've had in a very long time. Just from the simple fact that she didn't need much just a little more understanding. Don't mind the squeak LOL I thought I had it on camera but I had it on video. That's how I get the dogs that tilt their head on most of my photos LOL
