🐾Shaping a PawsUp with Harper🐾
Harper can be wary of new objects and she was initially unsure of the step when it was introduced. Breaking the exercise down into small achievable stages and letting Harper make choices she gradually built confidence to investigate, interact with and eventually place both paws on the step.
💠This is why I love shaping: it’s not just teaching a behaviour, it’s about developing a dog’s confidence, problem solving skills and resilience.
💝The photos ⬇️ show Harper’s journey from cautious curiosity to a confident Paws Up 🐾💎
