Follow-up training session with Mr Ghost at a different location. For this session, we chose the Lake: lots of people, dogs mostly on leads or somewhat "under control", children, cars, etc. A lot of triggers and not suitable for many dogs, but we knew he would be ok.
•
Ghost nailed pretty much every challenge we set up for him and his amazing human handled him like a true professional. There were situations that caused tension and made him think about telling "things" off, but if you know him and know how to read his body language, you can see it a mile away and you can take control and interfere.

Ghost isn't a fan of a few things (dogs too close or intense; scooters; strangers) and gets a kick out of telling them off - barking and lunging-, so we're working on:
- showing him that he is safe
- that the human has got this
- removing that need for that "job" that he gave himself.
Basically, teaching him that mum is the one who has control over it and there is no need for him to worry or tell them off.

His two mates also came to assist us but by the end of it, Ghost just wanted to chill (last 2 📸)
•
These two are fantastic team.
