This is Spencer! He’s almost done his 3rd week of his Stay and train and here’s everything he’s been working on so far!
Spencer really struggles with seeing his people leave, whether he is in a crate, in an open space or outside, the second he realizes that he is going to be separated by his people with a gate or a door, he will yell while yelling and grabbing onto your leg with his mouth and paws to try and keep you with him.
Spencer also lacks confidence with engaging and coexisting with dogs, however he tends to also guard his people if a dog goes into my space he attempts to correct them to get them to go away.
I have been teaching him how to be more confident on his own, build a healthier relationship with people and teach him how to settle on his own.
He’s also been learning how to be more curious with dogs and has been gaining more and more confidence with them as time has gone by!
He’s already made really awesome strides, he’s no longer biting or grabbing my leg when I try to leave him and he’s no longer screaming the second the door or gate closes between us.
He has 2 more weeks to go where we will be working on him continue to respect my space and other dogs space, how to regulate himself when I’m playing with other dogs or giving other dogs attention and building his overall confidence some more!
