Mowgi isn’t a vicious dog but he had a serious problem with fixating on things which stemmed from deep insecurities. Along with fear and impulse control, this was the recipe for his problematic behaviors. He was really scared of a lot of things including vacuums, trash bags, random noises, guests coming over and miscellaneous things on the walk. His owners have needed to managed him more and more over time and this resulted in isolating him. As they compounded these problems, this inhibited the owners life because of it.
Mowgi is a great example of what a true behavioral modification board and train looks like because we didn’t work obedience. We worked on exposing him everyday to things that freaked him out and did it in a way that we could allow him to make better choices. We made sure when he wanted to react at things, he had alternative ways such as creating space as you see in the clips of him around the vacuum and hose.
This is what Mowgi’s life looks like now and we are very excited to send him home to his owners. 😌
