We recently saw Sally the 8 year old Cockerspaniel We recently saw Sally the 8 year old Cockerspaniel for a behavior consultation. Sally is a long term behavior client. She is a rescue dog that struggles with fear based human aggression. It's been 2 years since we've seen her for training and she was so excited for her session. Her human sibling is now a toddler and mom has another baby on the way. Sally is struggling with the toddler phase. She began showing signs of avoidance and growling. We discussed management strategies, ruling out pain, implementing walks, and her owners will begin to have her wear her muzzle again when around the toddler. We also discussed giving her decompression time and counter-conditioning. We admire her owners dedication and commitment. We received an update that she is doing well and they see continuing to work with her. #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #privatelessons #behaviormodification #lafayettela #reactivedog #aggression #cockerspaniel #behaviorconsultation #positivedogtraining #muzzletraining #certifiedbehaviorconsultant #cockerspanielsofinstagram❤️
