We recently saw Lucy, the 9 month old Goldendoodle We recently saw Lucy, the 9 month old Goldendoodle, for a behavior consultation. She completed puppy class with us in the fall and has been  having a rough time since she reached adolescence. She began displaying reactivity on walks, jumping for attention, and not coming when called. Dogs go through various stages of development and adolescence can be tricky, as they are often experience a lapse of memory, judgemental, and boundary pushing. We devised a training plan to reduce her anxiety and strengthen her obedience cues. We plan on doing training in public later this summer. We're excited to watch her progress. #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #puppytraining #adolescence #goldendoodle #behaviorconsultation #privatelessons #doodlesofinstagram #teenagedogsofinstagram #dogbehavior #doodlelove #certifiedbehaviorconsultant
