Did you know that dog training goes way beyond basic obedience commands like "sit" and "stay"? A massive part of what we do is specialized behavior modification for fears, anxieties, and reactivity.
Our Unlimited Membership boys—Ozzie and Kodi—recently made the exciting transition into daily daycare after completing their initial in-home lessons! While obedience is part of their program, we tackled their specific fears first to set them up for true success.
𝐎𝐳𝐳𝐢𝐞 (𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐋𝐚𝐛):
Ozzie was very scared of me at first, so step one was simply building his trust so we could work together! He has struggled with major threshold anxiety, a fear of new people, loud noises, and novel items—often becoming frantic and darting through open doorways and gates. In our training, we are heavy on impulse control, using cues like "easy" (to slow his brain and body down) and "wait" at every threshold.
𝐊𝐨𝐝𝐢 (𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐛):
Kodi had a fear-based refusal when it came to loading into the car and using the vehicle ramp. With patience, clear coaching, and gentle guidance—holding his back half up and maintaining steady leash pressure so he learned backing out wasn't an option—it actually only took 2 days to get him loading and exiting comfortably!
Training is all about building confidence. Once a dog learns they are capable of overcoming something scary, they become happier, calmer, and infinitely easier to train in all other areas of life!
We are so proud of the progress these sweet boys are making.
Soon, they are going to be the ultimate greeting and therapy dogs at their mom’s in-home studio (Art & Academics)! 🎨📚
