Some purebred Labs are soft and sensitive. Others are confident bulls in a china closet. We say “you get what you get and you don’t get upset”, but you must adjust your training accordingly. 24 week old Grady Black Lab was initially very soft, sensitive, insecure and didn't enjoy interacting with the other dogs very much. After structured exposure and daycare he is now a different dog. We didn’t change his wiring. We just desensitized and counterconditioned his fear. Now we can work with him. Go Grady!

The challenge with training clients who travel great distance to see you is it’s harder to maintain continuity with the “people” training because their visits are less frequent. While a dog can be well trained, it will quickly start to decline if an owner can’t create meaningful performance in exchange for value, especially with a high energy, high drive, reactive dog. The decline is slow at first, but then it will accelerate.  Does this mean the dog is no longer trained? No, the dog is still trained. It just declined to the level of the owner’s handling. The dog knows what he knows and knows what he doesn’t know. and as soon as a trained dog knows you don’t know, It is going to act like it doesn’t know even though it is a trained dog. This starts the decline. That’s why maintenance work becomes as important as the initial training. There is no substitute for teaching an owner how to work their own dog. Go Kona!

Rex GSD’s foundation work has improved as well. He now has a food drive when none existed before. Would you rather get him to lie down by dominating him when he’s afraid and has no food drive? Or would you rather be patient develop a trusting relationship and let his food drive develop first? We know the answer. Go Rex!

Exposure two for Rex German Shepherd and his progress is significant. Note the extreme angst and over attachment as soon as we separate from his love object mom. Instead of creating stress and overworking him through it, we’re going to separate and unwind instead. All we have to do is separate him from his owner and we get a completely different dog.  That’s why this is not a Dog issue as much as It is a relationship issue. We will have to give some performance control to mom in exchange for all that affection. Go Rex!

Once you gain their trust, make them feel safe then show them a good time, they become perfectly willing to work for you. What took so long! Go Rex!!

Rex GSD is a very handsome 18 month old all black German Shepherd that has unsocialized working drive, inexperience, high angst, over-attachment, and heavily guards his owners. Nobody can approach them at their home, in their yard or on their walks. They are in a steep decline that has already turned dangerous. After meeting Rex once we are able to unwind most of it with one exposure. Go Rex!

We love when alumni come back and excel with their visits. Zeuss GSD was dysfunctionally fear based when we started with him. He was severely over attached, guarded his owner and would bite. After full training he loves coming here and now we can easily maintain him. This is a perfect example of when remote collar training becomes the best thing ever for a dog, not because we are punishing him with it, but rather because we are creating clear, concise and consistent communication in exchange for value. Go Zeuss!

Another Young 24 week old Boxer showing clear signs of fear, sensitivity, and insecurity. While we are outside of the initial imprinting we are still able to help her. Go Lexi!

This is what early intervention with a young, extreme fear based Dog can look like. The imprinting period from 3 to 16 weeks is your most valuable opportunity to desensitize and counter-condition it. We have changed the learning trajectory for Rory Golden. Go Rory!
