Theo worked on ‘place’ today! We practiced some problem solving skills by giving him minimal guidance. He figured it out very quickly! #757dogtrainer #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer #757dogs
Meet star! Star has had a rough start to life. She has very little life experience in cities. She was raised on a farm and bred for the first 2 years of her life. While she is comfortable around dogs, she is very wary of people and all of the noises we make. She came to her home earlier this year and has been making slow progress with opening up to her people. During our first session, we focused on building a relationship with me. I did this by pacing, sniffing and listening to her body language. I wanted to make it positive for her to come to me and not force myself on her. More videos to come of this sweet girl! #balanceddogtraining #757dogtrainer #757dogs #balanceddogtrainer
Bandit is boarding with us for the week! #757dogs
Jackson and I went to the store for the first time together! He struggles with excitement around people and other dogs so we practiced calm behaviors after we sniffed our way through the garden center. He did so well redirecting his attention to me with exciting things. It just took a little practice. #757dogtrainer #757dogs #balanceddogtraining #balanceddogtrainer
Cosmo is learning the art of heel with an automatic sit. He figured it put so quickly! #757dogtrainer #757dogs #balanceddogtrainer
Scout went home today! We are so sad to see him go but excited to see him thrive with his owner! #757dogtrainer #757dogs #balanceddogtrainer
Draco is figuring out heel! I love seeing the gears turning
Scout did awesome at Lowes! He was so engaged during our session. He struggled to give me attention with everything being so new so i gave him time to sniff and engage with the environment before asking for anything #balanceddogtrainer #balanceddogtraining #757dogs #757dogtrainer
Scout is working on seeing dogs and being more comfortable walking near them. We started by moving closer into Cosmo’s space and redirecting his attention away from him. He struggled at first but started following me as we continued to practice. #757dogtrainer #balanceddogtraining #757dogs
Jackson has started place! We started by getting him used to the cot. I threw treats on it to make it positive for him and then began to lure him onto the place. #balanceddogtraining #757dogtrainer #757dogs
Scout is killing it! Today we added an extra distraction with Eli & ollie working close by. We focused on place and redirecting his attention away from ollie. He even had 2 people approach him and while he showed a lot of interest, he stayed in his place. #balanceddogtraining #757dogtrainer #757dogs
