Meet Murdoch 🐾 a strikingly beautiful dog with a lot of frustration…
Murdoch a in-home training with a family who was struggling with her destructive behaviors, I quickly realized the challenge wasn’t just Murdoch it was also the family’s communication style. Dogs don’t act out to be “naughty”; behaviors like this often reflect confusion or frustration from unclear guidance.
This was one of the most challenging trainings I’ve faced. The family struggled to communicate in a consistent manor. We tried verbal cues, attached words to actions, and even explored sign language but some habits are harder for humans to change than for dogs. Murdoch, on the other hand, was attentive, bright, and eager to learn.
Training is about small, successful steps and commitment, and I was determined to give Murdoch a better life even when progress with the family was slow. I continued free training sessions, because every dog deserves the chance to thrive even when humans make it tricky. 💛
