Sully did a long place while we did Daisy's go home lesson a couple weeks ago.

Note the tieback. This is a great tool to use while you are in the middle to final stages of training. This gives you a way to ensure that your dog, if they make a mistake, can't go far from the cot.

This, a—makes it less rewarding to get up, and b—makes it less messy while you address the mistake. And it's easier for them to get back on without help.

That's not a forever tool. That would be management. We never tell people to rely on management long term unless there's no other option. An appropriately intense consequence for non-compliance will make the behavior reliable in all environments. But while you're working on the teaching piece, this is a very helpful tool for our clients.

Then once your dog has had sufficient rehearsal and feedback from you, you can clean the behavior up once and for all with a real, proper correction.

Sully is very good on place and never made a mistake during that 90 minutes, but it gave us an added layer of efficiency just in case he did..

Best way to start the day and end the day is walking a giant dog and a tiny dog together. 😊

As a sidenote, Walker the Great Dane is about 2 months older than Niblet the Pug.

Good luck Walker and family!

Everyone did amazing at the go home lesson. We can't wait for updates on this boy and how things are going once the dust settles.

Walker goes home today! We're so excited for him and his family. Snowflake will miss him. 😊

Walker holding a down at a busy park. We always make it a point to rehearse impulse control. Sometimes that might just be a heel, but this stillness and duration work is very valuable.

Congratulations to Sully and his family. He graduated from our Composed Canine program yesterday! 👏🏻
