Baxter’s newest arousal control activity 💦🙃
He LOVES the water, but mom would like to be able to water her plants without Baxter launching himself at her.

So, we turned it into a predictable game and added some management, breaking down the the goal behavior into much smaller pieces, helping Baxter be successful, each step of the way 🤗.

When we started this last week, Baxter could hold his “wait” for MAYBE 2-3 seconds + minimal movement from the hose. He’s made a lot of progress in that short amount of time 👏🏼

One of the many reasons I LOVE working with longlines, is that they give you the ability to practice and proof your emergency recall in a wide variety of different contexts 🤗

Just make sure to give your cue before the dog reaches the end of the lead 😉

Play can be a powerful tool in training! You can use it to help build confidence, work on arousal control and manners, strengthen known skills, build social relationships and so much more!

Riley LOVES playing ball, but she can get overly aroused quite easily with it, especially when Harper is around. So, when we play, we we play with rules.

Harper gets cookies for calmly laying next to me and Riley gets cookies for putting the ball directly in my hand. I throw the ball for her only if she is quiet, has 4 feet on the floor and checks in with me 🙃

We started working with Brussel and his family back in May. Brussel is a 2 year old Beagle X Jack Russel mix who had been surrendered to SA Humane by his original owners when he was around a year old. He remained at the shelter for some time before being adopted earlier this year by his new family and K9 brother, Broccoli💚.

Brussel likes other dogs, but struggles a bit with arousal control (both on and off leash) and can be a bit mouthy while playing; which is one of the many reasons why muzzle training was one of the first skills that we started, along with a solid response to his name, some loose leash work and enrichment driven walks, targeting, and recall.

Brussel also came with a history of being worried at the vet, his paperwork from the shelter said that he had to be sedated for exams. At home, Brussel also displayed some insecurities around handling; so, of course we are building in some cooperative care🤗. His humans have started doing “happy vet visits” to work on creating a more positive association to going to the vet, and they are already seeing some progress! Last time they went, Brussel was able to take cheese from staff, he was able to be weighed AND he even allowed the vet to examine his mouth, without sedation.

Brussel is a smart little dude and seems to enjoy the process of learning 🥹. We’re excited to be a part of he and his family’s journey together 🥰

Over the last several weeks, we have started working on building Baxter’s comfort and confidence around toddlers. We’re doing this by utilizing protective contact and creating positive experiences, along with building a sense of predictability around what can often be an unpredictable stimulus.

I was so stinking proud of Baxter today 🥲💜🥹

This incredible dog has come leaps and bounds from where we started. When I met Baxter, back in January of 2023, he was scared of the world; anything new was terrifying to him: people, places, sounds, objects, large dogs, and so much more. He had handling sensitivities, he’d displayed some aggression towards other dogs, fence-fought with the neighbors’ dogs, he’d nipped at people’s ankles, was scared of the plants in his home, and he hadn’t been comfortable enough outside to venture farther than his block. His mom and I had our work cut out for us 🥲, but little by little, we continued to build his confidence and created resilience where there previously had been none.

Fast forward to today, a little over three years later, he’s an entirely different dog whose world continues to gradually expand.

😍Look at the difference in the overall arousal of this play session vs the video posted from last week! Colby initiated the interaction today and both dogs were able to take their own breaks during play 🙌🏼

One detail that I do want to point out though, is that this play session was at Colby’s house, whereas the last one was done at Molly’s. Molly has also displayed some guarding behavior around toys at her house that hasn’t been displayed while at Colby’s. And since we always want to do the best we can to set our dogs up for success, we have decided to keep play sessions at Colby’s house for the time being. Overtime, we will work towards generalizing these skills to other contexts and environments, but for now, we will stick to the environment that Molly has demonstrated the most success in.

Molly is rocking her new basket muzzle from The Muzzle Movement 😍 This muzzle is super light and allows for a full pant. Molly LOVES other dogs, but struggles a bit with arousal control and overly mouthy behavior. Now that she’s fully muzzle trained, she can learn how to interact, safely.
