We wanted to give a shout out to one of our Most Improved Dawg Day Adventurers, Toby. 🐾
Toby was one of our first Dawg Day Adventure pups and has come such a long way. He was very reactive to dogs and people, which caused Jon to veer from the trail when people were going to pass by. Today, Toby no longer requires major detours from the walking path. While not perfect, his tolerance for other dogs and people has improved significantly.
Often times, redirection is the strategy of choice. However, Toby struggled to take his attention off of his stressors; treats, toys, and noise makers were all unsuccessful. Instead, Jon focused on walking cues and worked with Toby’s natural herding instincts.
We are so proud of Toby!
