Punk and I took a trip out to Brockville to work with two very good boys and their training goals in the real world!
Miller, the young golden, is putting in the work on his loose leash walking around big distractions like other dogs and exciting environments. He’s got plenty of energy and we’re learning that after he’s had a bit of a chance to burn some of that off, he can offer some really nice, thoughtful loose leash walking. So we’ve been building a plan around setting him up for success first, then layering in calm, connected leash skills in the middle of all the fun. 💙
We also got to see Cooper, the boxer, who’s been working on channeling his prey drive and sharpening his dog social skills. He genuinely wants to be social and after the initial greeting he did a really solid job staying neutral with Punk and making good choices. His recall and overall listening skills have come a long way over the last couple of weeks and it’s starting to really show in how quickly he can tune back in even with distractions around. ❤️
Two different dogs, two different training paths, but both making steady progress toward the same goal: better focus, better choices and more freedom in the real world. ✨✨✨
