✨ Meet Rory ✨
This Great Pyrenees / Black Mouth Cur / Catahoula mix has been with me in private lessons since July, and now he’s here for his two-week puppy board & train.
Rory’s a little insecure, and right now his default response to the world is… bark. 🚲 A bicycle across the street? Bark. 🚪 A door squeak? Bark. 🐶 Another dog barking? Bark. Even his own bark on video set him off.
That reactivity tells me his nervous system is working overtime. My focus with him here will be on calming his mind through structure—crate work, place, and teaching him how to regulate instead of react.
It may take the full two weeks, and that’s okay. Progress for pups like Rory is about building clarity and calm one rep at a time. 🐾💛
