Sometimes learning takes time.
When you’ve practiced doing something one way for multiple years, it takes time, patience, and consistency to learn a new way.
It can be difficult and even frustrating at times.
If you persevere though it will be worth it in the long run. Your dog will be able to go out in the world and trust in your guidance. You may not be able to convince them that the world is great and not scary, but you will be able to give them tools to navigate it better.
Barry and Willis went through a 10 day training program to unlearn some habits and start establishing a new foundation and understanding of the world. That first day was very scary for Willis but we took it slow and he started to trust me more and more! By the end, if he was unsure about something he would immediately look to me to see what he should do or he would walk next to me where he felt confident and safe.
I am so proud of these two and their owners!!
