🐾 Private Training Pup-dates! 🐾
Here are three dogs Trainer Victoria has been working with recently!
Maggie, a regular in private training, has recently experienced a big change in her life! Her family proudly welcomed a new member: an 8-week-old Golden Retriever puppy named Max! Maggie’s recent sessions focused on preparing for this exciting transition. She’s been a star with impulse control exercises, including waiting at the door, staying in place, and responding to her name. Her humans are also doing a wonderful job thoughtfully managing the environment to help prevent potential conflict as baby Max grows.
(Don’t worry, there will be plenty of photos of baby Max! 🥹)
Arlo has wrapped up four sessions focused on helping him feel more comfortable around the car! Arlo is a sensitive guy, and changes in routine or unexpected scares can really set him back. Together, we worked on building predictability around getting into the car, giving him the freedom to choose to hop in during low-pressure moments, and introducing a procedure for those “no choice” situations when getting into the car is necessary.
Georgie, a newly adopted bulldog, is getting off on the right paw thanks to his wonderful humans! Within his first week or so at home, Georgie’s owners noticed some behaviors that concerned them, so they reached out for support. We’re introducing management strategies, including crate time and indoor house lines, alongside basic obedience skills to help Georgie navigate his new home more successfully. We love seeing owners reach out early and give their dogs the support they need to settle in and succeed!
Every dog is different, and these three pups are great examples of how private training can help dogs and their humans navigate life’s changes, build skills, and set themselves up for success.
