The following is a daily video update we provide our clients while they entrust us with their dogs. This particular dog is Emmie. She came in a nervous but very sweet dog. She has reactivity issues with other dogs and is easily stressed by environmental stressors. Mostly, she is really sweet though. This is her 1 week mark. We have established communications, via a terminal marker (clicker). She is demonstrating conditioning to this marker which is awesome. We have fired these behavioral pathways enough to start to remove ourselves from the learning process. This is something that I find to be tremendously valuable. Getting out of the way!
Personally, I don’t care about any of these behaviors. I only love to see the dog learning, problem solving and finding it’s access point to objects of desire. Building perseverance. An active minded dog.
While learning these skills around food. What I consider classroom work. We are separately building skill sets of play. Probably the more important part of her time here. It took me a long time to find Ivan Balabanov’s content. And man has it changed things for me. Highly recommend.
