Diesel has honestly been such a rewarding dog to work with. He is a very high arousal dog and came into training with severe reactivity towards other dogs, including a serious incident with another dog in the past. A huge part of our work was not just obedience, but teaching him how to better regulate that arousal, come back down, think through excitement and respond to his owners even when the environment was challenging.
His owners have also put a lot of effort into learning how to work with him, which is a massive part of why they are now able to take him places with much more confidence.
Diesel is still Diesel energetic, intense and full of personality but seeing him heel, recall, hold positions at a distance off leash without an e-collar and stay much more composed in the real world has been awesome to watch.
Very proud of how far both Diesel and his owners have come.
