Welcome Nash to Cannon Canine Training! š¤
Nash is a very smart 9 year old Catahoula-mix of multiple different herding breeds, here for a 6 week Board and Train. His favorite interests are things such as, but not limited to- bolting through crate doors and any threshold like a wild man, vocalizing his opinion of people other than his owner being in his house, very pushy and demanding behavior, being a stage 5 clinger to his owner, and counter surfing.
The very first thing Iām doing is building a solid, appropriate relationship with him so that I can work through these behaviors, but MOST importantly, teach his owner how to build and continue that relationship herself so that life back at home isnāt so stressful. Iāll be giving him outlets to fulfill his needs, physical exercise and build some confidence so that things like the vacuum and thunderstorms donāt scare him!
Nashās owner has been pressured/denied future veterinary service unless heās fully sedated after a few not-so-great experiences with Vets, but interestingly enough, as a total stranger, I successfully and easily installed ear drops in his ears this morning with zero issues. That being said, I will also do my absolute best getting him to a better place for veterinary handling WITHOUT the use of sedatives š«
We have lots of work to do and 9 years of habit and behavior to sort out. I have promised his owner I will do everything I possibly can to see to it he is the best he can be and teach HER how to communicate with him better and continue helping him be his best self once back home!
