🎶We don't talk about Bruno, no, no,no. Meet bur 🎶We don't talk about Bruno, no, no,no. Meet burning the 2 year old European Doberman! He's in training for behavior modification to help decrease his anxiety and defensive aggression. He is responding beautifully to our behavior plan and excels with his obedience training. We are working on finding him productive mental outlets to channel his anxiety. He had his first nosework lesson today and LOVED it. He did fantastic imprinting on Birch Scent and learning how to search for for toys. We are also exploring other dog sport avenues for him. We enjoy working with him and following his progress! #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #privatelessons #behaviormodification #lafayettela #aggression #europeandoberman #dobermansofig #doglovers  #workingdogsofinstagram  #dobermanlove #dogsports #certifiedbehaviorconsultant

She completed our puppy class when she was younger. She has recently began struggling with anxiety and grooming. There is a lot of construction in her current neighborhood which has been increasing her anxiety due to the noise. We have implemented doggy daycare, calming chews, sniff walks, and obedience training to help reduce her daily stress levels.
