A big day for Marlo today!
Marlo is a fun, energetic doodle pup who is the epitome of bouncy. Unfortunately a poor interaction with a less than friendly loose dog made her very nervous of other dogs. We'll be working on her confidence through group walks, and helping shift her emotions related to strange dogs.
After a test walk with the best neutral dog out there (Eo), she got a passing grade to try a small group. Some big challenges were thrown her way, including being charged by another loose dog! What showed most of all today was her ability to recover, refocus, and resume good walking with the group! She's got a ways to go, but I think she's going to really get a lot out of group walks 🤓
Pro tip: if your dog bursts out of your vehicle, you may need to consider leashing your dog in the vehicle, using a crate, or actually training your dog 🤷
