This lovely lady did an AWESOME job on her training outing today!
We are preparing to move at the end of May 2025, which means prepping Zeppelin for many of the things she may see in an apartment complex. This includes bicycles, strollers, unfamiliar people, unfamiliar locations, and so much more. Given that Zepp can be very fearful of new sights, sounds, and places, we have a lot of ground to cover before our move. We are starting small by taking her to quiet new places where she can observe things from a distance.
Today, we worked on counter-conditioning with passing stimuli in a church parking lot. We saw a bike (Zepp’s arch nemesis), passing people, and a big van. We also heard some loud noises. Zepp did super well and offered eye contact on her own each time something came up. She even offered to approach her nemesis while it was leaned against a wall!

We had such a good little moment on our hike today!
Since the age of 5 months, Zepp has really struggled with novel sights and sounds, especially unfamiliar people, people with atypical gates, people carrying things, etc. When she would encounter such things, she would pancake to the ground and try to run away, often without regard for her safety or surroundings. She would go into pure flight mode and the only thing we could do to make her feel better is get her space. For this reason, we don’t walk in our neighborhood.
It took us a while to get Zepp on a good medication regimen with the help of our wonderful veterinary behaviorist, but we finally found things that help manage her anxiety. For the past couple months, we’ve been starting to take her to parks and hiking locations. This allows us to give her the space she needs to observe stimuli without getting pushed over threshold. We’ve also been diligently working on counter-conditioning so that she can learn better associations with her triggers.
Today, Zepp did something amazing! We were out training in a big open field near a lake and an elderly man carrying a cane walked our way along the path. Zepp immediately came over, sat, looked at the man and looked at me as if to say, “I know this game!” She didn’t run away and showed that she understood that strangers bring good things for her. She even took a couple steps toward the man to investigate on her own!
For those of you who don’t know, behavior modification can be a slow going process. These milestones mean the world to me. We still have a long way to go, but today was a win! Very proud of this little girl!

Closing our eyes really tight and wishing for warmer weather!
As we enter the winter season, here is some advise for our clients:
1) Bring a coat for you AND your dog if we will be working out in the cold.
2) Consider switching to virtual sessions on the days when temperatures are likely too cold for you and your dog. Through virtual sessions, we can teach and refine skills, tackle behavior concerns, and more.
3) Still bring water for your pet. Although it’s not hot anymore, your dog is still eating treats, which can dry out their mouth.
4) Consider teaching your dog to wear shoes. Shoes help protect from rock salt, which we may encounter as we enter pet friendly stores.
Winter weather can’t keep us from the grind 💪
