🎶 Take me out to the ball game! 🎶 ⚾️🏟️🧢
I have been working with Melby for a little while now. She has had a few bites and struggles with being human social and stable. I have been working with her family through lessons and very brief board and trains. She has made some pretty good progress. You can see from the clip on the end of this video her defensive aggression has definitely been mitigated to a certain degree, but she has also learned how to not be as avoidant in new environments. When I first started getting this dog out in public she would seek any escape possible. Her stress levels from repeated systematic desensitization have significantly improved. One of the best things that can help a dog with these behaviors is a mentor dog. A dog that is confident and comfortable in social settings can in many ways teach a weaker nerved dog way better than we ever can. Panini the dachshund helped with that. Also peep her prey drive for that ball.
