Talking of adolescents, I had a very constructive 121 with Tarryn and her super dog Sully, who has a lot to process at this age, being a mix of labrador, collie and vizla.
Tarryn is a devoted owner and brilliant trainer, and her work with Sully was clearly evident in today's class. Together we were able to work on his over exuberance in meeting people, and his default behaviour of 'plonking' as we called it, i.e. laying down and locking in, on seeing other dogs.
As you can see, the results were pretty amazing, due to Tarryn's existing training and understanding of how to work with Sully to achieve alternative behaviours. 😍
