Meet Opal and Onyx.
They are 2.5 year old Shihtzu littermates who are sugary sweet with people, but who have challenges with one another, on leash and with the cats in their home.
At our first session, we worked on getting both the humans and the canines speaking the same language. We opted for conversational leash work, using the slip lead to help introduce basic obedience skills to everyone. We worked on come, sit and down, impulse control exercises, and leadership drills. These two tend to listen when they feel like it, so their homework will be heavy on the accountability piece😉 The entire family learned so much and did great communicating with one another! They are going home to practice and will be back to tackle more behavior modification 💖 Keep up the great work Vickie and Steve🙌🏼
