Cooper exhibited excellent Impulse Control today! Although tempted to move when the ball rolled, he chose to stay put until released. ๐๐๐

I love this for Brody! ๐โ๏ธ๐ถ
Hana and I went for a walk today. It was a small victory!โค๏ธ
I am currently establishing a 'Leadership Role' for Hana to trust me, so that I can then teach her owners effective exercises that work for her and help build trust.

Great Example of Today's Session!
#Looseleash #dogtraining #day1
Hana's Growling acts as a warning, and Layla remains close to the door in search of her mother. I corrected the growling while providing Space, and only rewarded Hana when she exhibited calm behavior, which allowed her to gradually become more comfortable with my presence.
๐ #Dogtraining #Inhome
During the first part of my session with Hana & Layla, their owner, who they are deeply attached to, went into her room, and the dogs were hesitant to leave that area. I employed encouraging techniques to bring them closer to me, providing corrections as needed. Notably, Hana does not mind approaching me for a treat, but may bark or growl due to insecurities. Layla, however, exhibited avoidant behavior by remaining stationary and not moving from her spot.
Part 2 is Next.
Brody has made tremendous progress in just three sessions, and I couldn't be prouder! The improvement is clear to see. ๐โค๏ธ #GoodBoy

Following these steps will result in a fun recall game for your dog!

Brody has been really skiddish since I met him, as well as very barky when meeting new people! Today only our Second Session, I got zoomies and was able to give him lots of love! So much progress! #buildingtrust #bonding #inhome #dogtraining
Brody tried a new puzzle today! He also did it really fast! ๐ #confidencebuilding #usinghisnose #goodboy #Dogtraining #Inhome
Taught Brody "Touch" today too! This is a good command for more nervous dogs, to let them know hands are okay. It took some time bit he did end up uaing his nose and his paw to touch my hand! So proud of him working through his nerves! ๐๐ good job brody!
Enjoying the puzzle ! ๐ #sniffing #confidencebuilding #usinghissenses
Laya and Olive had a chance to do a puzzle too! Reward for how good they have been ! ๐๐
Part 2, got some barks and wanting to avoid which is all signs of fearful/nervousess behavior. I will be doing exercises through out our sessions to build him up!
Stay tuned for more updates on his progress over the weeks!
Wanted to show the Before of Brody, I was doing some Trusting exercises with him! This is part 1 !
When meeting or interacting with a nervous/fearful dog, be quiet, go slower, be patient!
Part 2!
Breezy got the hang of it! ๐

At the end of his session we worked on a fun Puzzle!
Puzzles are a great way for your dog to use their nose, build confidence, and have mental stimluation! Breezy loved it!
