Mac, the 4 year old Sheepadoodle, is currently enr Mac, the 4 year old Sheepadoodle, is currently enrolled in private training lessons with Vikki for behavior modification. He is in training to work on his human aggression and anxiety. To the untrained eye, Mac can look very friendly and hyper. He will pant, wag his tail, jump, and mount people. He displays these signs when he is overstimulated and about to engage in aggressive behaviors. When we first started training he was displaying high levels of stress, anxiety, and intense resource guarding. With positive reinforcement training techniques and behavioral medication from his vet he has greatly decreased his aggression, resource guarding, and daily stress. His owner can now safely walk him on the neighborhood and guests have noticed the difference in hia behavior. Great job, Mac! #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #privatelessons #behaviormodification #aggression #resourceguarding #positivedogtraining #behaviormodification #anxiety #privatelessons #sheepadoodle #dogbehavior #dogtrainer #certifiedbehaviorconsultant

Mochi went on a field trip to Stine Home & Yard. I Mochi went on a field trip to Stine Home & Yard. It was an incredibly challenging environment for him. We spent 10 minutes outside of the store using the "look at that" protocol and treating for calm behavior before entering. We kept our distance from people to ensure that he could not practice lunging on leash. He was able to see people at a distance, but unable to interact with them. He was able to focus in short spurts and work for treats. He will need repeated exposure in new environments to continue to build his focus with distractions. He did a great job coming out the car calm and with no jumping. Great job, Mochi! #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #boardandtrain #puppytraining #obedience #manners #obedience #dogstagram #huskymix #lafayettela #positivedogtraining #dogtrainer #doglovers #rescuedog
