Does your dog wait at the door, then bolt the second you release them?

Sit and wait is an important foundation, and Bella picked it up fast. But on its own, a wait mostly holds a dog in place. It doesn't always change how badly they still want to rush out.
So we went a layer deeper. Instead of only working the wait, I taught Bella to face away from the door and bring her attention back to me. The goal shifts from "hold still" to "an open door doesn't mean go."
Over time, the open door stopped triggering her. Now Bella checks in with me first.
The wait is your foundation. Building on it, teaching her not to fixate on the door, is what makes it truly stick.

你的狗會在門口乖乖等，但你一放行就衝出去嗎？

坐下等是很重要的基礎，Bella 也很快就學會了。但光靠「等」，大多是困住狗狗身體而不是轉換心靈，這無法改變他有多想衝出去。
所以我們往更深一層練。除了練「等」，我還讓 Bella 背對門、把注意力拉回我身上。目標就從「不要動」變成「專注在我身上，你就知道何時可以走」。
之後，「門開了」不再是觸發她暴衝的開關，Bella 現在會先跟我確認。
「等」是基礎，但真正讓行為變得穩定的，是改變狗對門的關注，而不是只要求他暫時不要動。

This is a throwback. Learning with Steven Series.

Botto was a four-month-old Husky who checked everything on the street.
I watched Steven handle him. Looked easy.
Then he handed me the leash.
It wasn't easy. But that's how you learn.

這是 throwback，跟著 Steven 學的時候

Botto 是一隻四個月大的哈士奇，什麼都有他的事
我看著 Steven 帶他，看起來很簡單
然後 Steven 把牽繩遞給我

比想像中難好多！但這就是學習，其實滿好玩的 😁

Throwback. Back when I was still learning from Steven.

Meet Botto.
Four-month-old Husky. Total goofball, easily distracted. Everything on the street was his business. NYC didn't help. Pigeons. Trucks. Food on the sidewalk. He checked all of it. His owner couldn't get through a single block without something happening.
But Steven stayed steady. No stress. Botto loses focus: quick correction, keep going.
Eventually Botto figured out: staying calm and sticking with us was worth more than anything on that sidewalk. (Because treats.)
Then Steven handed me the leash. I thought I had it mapped out in my head. I didn't. Too much happening at once, kept missing the window, and by the time I corrected it was already bigger than it needed to be.
But that's learning. You have to actually do it to know.

Throwback當我還在跟著 Steven 練習的時候

這是 Botto
Botto 是一隻四個月大的哈士奇，標準二哈個性，超容易分心，住海邊管很大，什麼都有他的事而在紐約這個地方一切就更難了，鴿子、大卡車、地上的食物，他全都檢查一遍他的主人出門根本沒辦法好好走一條街
但 Steven 就是穩穩的，不煩躁Botto 分心了就即時快速糾正，然後繼續走
後來 Botto 慢慢搞清楚了，冷靜跟著我們比路上任何東西都更值得（因為會有好吃的）
然後 Steven 把牽繩遞給我讓我試腦袋裡操演過，實際上完全不是那回事，一下子有太多事情發生，糾正的時機都太晚，等我動手已經需要比較大的力道了
但學習就是這樣，要自己親自練習過才會知道！

The moment I opened the door, Tomai growled at me. His owner couldn't find a single dog walker — because no one could get close enough to clip on his leash.

So I started simple: treats, no eye contact, a few basic commands. He was listening, but wasn't relaxed.
So I broke it down. Leash hanging from my hand. Swinging it slowly — letting him see it, smell it, get used to it being there. He got closer. But the moment that loop came near his neck, he was gone.
So I put the leash down. And picked up a ball.
That's when things shifted. Once he was in play mode, he had somewhere to put his energy. The tension wasn't gone — but it was manageable.
And then... we got it on.
One hour. No force, no rush. Just finding what made him feel safe enough to trust me.

我開門的瞬間 Tomai對我低吼

主人找不到能幫他遛狗的人
因為沒有人能靠近Tomai 並把牽繩掛上

我從基本的開始
零食、眼神不要看他
做幾個基礎的指令
他會聽指令 但整個身體還是緊繃的

所以我把動作拆細一點
繩子掛在手上 慢慢晃來晃去
讓他看到、聞到 習慣它就在那裡
他有靠過來了 但
繩子一靠近脖子 他就溜掉了

所以我把繩子放下來 改拿球跟他玩
然後整個感覺就不一樣了
他開始玩之後 那個緊張的能量有地方釋放
緊繃的感覺雖然沒有完全消失 但稍微降下來了

慢慢的...繩子就套上去了！

一個小時，不強迫他、不著急
就是要找到讓他安心，並且願意相信我的那個方法

Meet Tomai.

He came to NYC through Hara, a rescue organization that brings dogs from Taiwan to the US — and I was invited to volunteer as his trainer when he arrived.
Formosan Mountain Dogs are known for being sensitive souls. Alert, cautious, easily spooked by sounds and strangers. It's not a flaw. It's just who they are. And after a long international flight? Every nerve is already on edge before they even step into their new home.
The first time I walked into his home, he growled at me. Low, steady — the kind that says I don't know you yet.
I told Lauren: a growl is communication. A dog that warns you is a dog that trusts the warning will work. That's actually a good sign.

We talked through what Tomai was feeling, what the growl meant, what not to do when it happened. Once there was understanding in the room, the tension eased — and Tomai felt it.
Then I noticed he was eyeing my treat pouch. Tail low, but curious.
That's when I knew — this dog is going to be just fine.

Today, Tomai is a happy dog. And I'm so glad I got to be part of that journey.

這是 Tomai。

他從台灣被 Hara 救援，來到紐約，Hara 是一個專門幫助台灣流浪犬到美國找到家的救援組織。我受邀成為他的訓練師義工。

台灣高山犬天生比較敏感。警覺、謹慎，很容易被聲音或陌生人嚇到。更何況剛搭完那麼長的國際線，飛機的巨響、引擎聲、顛簸、長時間關在籠子裡、什麼氣味都是陌生的，到紐約時身上每根神經就已經繃緊了。所以他對任何新事物都充滿警戒。
第一次走進他家門，他對我低吼。低沉、穩定，像在說：「我還不認識你。」
我跟 Lauren 說：低吼是一種溝通。一隻會先警告你的狗，代表他相信警告有用。這其實是好事。
我們聊了 Tomai 當下的感受，聊了低吼背後的意思，也聊了當它發生時千萬不能做的事。等大家都理解了，房間裡的緊張感慢慢消散，Tomai 也感覺到了。
然後我發現他在偷看我的零食袋。尾巴還是低著，但眼神已經帶著好奇。

就在那瞬間，我知道我們的訓練不會太困難。我們只需要慢慢地幫他放下警戒。
現在的 Tomai 是一隻快樂的狗。能陪著他走這段路，真的很開心。
