This is def a first, see 2nd slide! Please welcome Chance the attending ! She will be working on coexisting with their two cats, as well as house manners!

I’m lucky to have numerous repeat clients. Meaning clients get another dog, and want to train their 2nd dog. Or they continue training with their same dog after puppyhood into advanced training.

But, this is my first repeat house! 3rd slide is Bingo from 3 years ago this Monday!

has been so good to me. In fact, Chance is the 2nd from this house that’s gone through ! Two completely different families have rented this house and chose for their needs!

Please welcome Winston to . He will be working on his defensive boundaries to lessen his reactivity towards triggers.

Does this look like a reactive dog?

I didn’t think so, but sometimes we work too quickly too fast out in the environment without understanding what triggers our dogs. Winston simply doesn’t want people in his space because he has been around too many unpredictable people coming up to approach him. He will lunge to create space, and/or bite if pushed too closely to his personal space.

with Calhoun working on our greetings. Since football is a religion in the south, we’re getting ready for gatherings! We’ve now met 3 sets of Calhoun’s favorite human friends, with John & Melinda being his most trivialized. A special thank you to John & Melinda for working with Calhoun because their touch really sets him off. Averting eye contact and ignoring the overstimulated energy is doing wonders to show Calhoun what we’re now asking for when greeting guests. Calhoun successfully completed at least ten laps around the kitchen island before he settled in between guests for pets!

Ideally, we’re looking for:
🐾a patient sit/stay from your dog
🐾no overexcitement/overstimulation
🐾as soon as we receive these new behaviors, guests are allowed to approach
🐾reset back to step 1 if they can’t handle it

Calhoun hasn’t been able to handle approaching others well, yet. His sit is an auto stay, so were utilizing that skill to our advantage, and allowing others to approach him calmly.

Try it out and let me know how things go. And if you’re ready for guidance or support call 843.352.8699 or [email protected] to allow me to celebrate your training journey!

PSA + Welcome Dunes back to . Dunes graduated from Beginners several years ago, but has developed some defensive reactivity to dogs due to crowded/unsupervised doggie daycare settings.

Dunes is not a reactive dog, but this is the unfortunate consequence of doggie daycares when they’re not properly supervised/refereed. Some doggie daycares allow up to 10-20 dogs managed per person. This is the main reason dog trainers advise not to use daycare as proper socialization.

matches temperaments for all dogs, will take no more than 6 pups at a time, and is supervised/refereed 100% by a dog trainer!

Make sure your matches dog temperaments, keeps smaller groups less than 6, and is always supervised/refereed by a professional!
