Moose, the 3 year old Mixed Breed, recently comple Moose, the 3 year old Mixed Breed, recently completed his behavior modification training program. He struggles with fear and frustration based reactivity, going to the vet, ans separation anxiety. He has made tremendous progress in training. His veterinarian prescribed behavioral medication to lower his stress levels to allow for more effective training. He has had 2 lower stress vet visits since starting training and is no longer struggling with separation anxiety. He has also greatly improved with his leash reactivity towards people. He is still working on decreasing frustration when seeing other dogs on leash. Great job Moose! #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #privatelessons #behaviormodification #lafayettela #reactivedog #rescuedogsofinstagram #lafayettela #separationanxiety #behaviortraining #leashreactivity
