Before and after training: Severe Leash Reactivity

My protocol for private lessons with dogs who have leash reactivity is to focus on 2 commands: Heel and Place.

A lot of the time, reactivity is a symptom of a lack of boundaries and structure in a dog’s daily life. Implementing a strict Heel command along with a Place command can make a huge difference in their overall behavior.

This dog in particular is a bit neurotic, and his owners recently told me that he has become a much calmer dog in his day-to-day life overall and, as you can see, a lot less reactive.

I’ll also add that this dog’s reactivity stems from fear, believe it or not, and a lack of confidence. So while the goal is obviously to address the reactivity, we also have to work on building the dog’s confidence and giving him structure so he knows how to handle situations that previously overwhelmed him.

The difference speaks for itself. #dogtraining #leashtraining

Oakley is doing amazing with his off leash heel!

Oakley’s owners started out in our Basic Obedience Group Class, and he completed about five classes before coming to us for a 2 week Board and Train.

His owner only asked me to focus on two things: a heel and an off leash recall. She wasn’t asking for an off leash heel, just a nice loose leash walk. But Oakley is a smart guy, so we were able to go above and beyond what she asked for.

I’m really proud of how far he’s come! #dogtraining #offleash

I haven’t been super active on here lately but I had to come on to post this pretty girl. This is Amelia and she is on her 4th week of our unique board and train program where she gets to go home on the weekends! Amelia is working on overall obedience and confidence building. She’s a super sweet girl but is very unsure of herself in new environments and around new people/dogs. She’s already come a long way but her owner will have to keep up the work with the foundation I have set for Amelia to have the most success! #dogtraining
