๐ Meet Bert: A Training Success Story! ๐
Bert, a 3-year-old Bernadoodle, is an incredibly smart pup who has made amazing strides in overcoming fear-based aggression and anxiety. When Bert first came to Southeast Animal Behavior & Training, he struggled with fear and insecurity, making it tough for him to feel comfortable in his surroundings.
With the guidance of Dr. Maggie, our Board-Certified Veterinary Behaviorist, Bert began his journey with a detailed treatment plan tailored to his unique needs. Dr. Maggie recommended private training sessions with one of our trainers, Kelly, who specializes in empowering dogs to gain confidence and independence.
During Bertโs training sessions, Kelly taught him the "place" command, creating a safe haven where he could go whenever he needed space. This newfound autonomy allowed Bert to feel more secure and in control of his environment. Over time, Bert began seeking out his spot on his own, a big milestone in his progress!
Bertโs devoted owner Robin, has also been key to his transformation. From using talking buttons to validate his feelings to giving him breaks when needed, Robinโs patience, creativity, and love have built a strong bond based on trust and understanding.
Bertโs journey is proof that with the right care, guidance, and dedication, every dog can thrive. At Southeast Animal Behavior & Training, weโre proud to offer a comprehensive approach to behavior care, combining expert veterinary insight with customized training programs to create a complete package for success! ๐พ
