Peanut, the 7 year old Chihuahua Mix, is currently Peanut, the 7 year old Chihuahua Mix, is currently enrolled in our private training program for behavior modification. His original owner passed away and now he is in a new environment with more activity such as children on scooters, bicycles in the neighborhood, and guests coming over. He is reactive in the neighborhood when seeing triggers. He is very nervous around children and responds aggressively. We are implementing muzzle conditioning, management, systematic desensitization, and counter-conditioning to help Peanut feel more at ease in his new environment. He is also enjoying learning his obedience cues. Though he is fearful, once he is comfortable with someone he is quite the friendly and social pup. We are excited to work with him and follow his progress. #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #chihuhuamix #rescuedogsofinstagram #reactivedig #reactivedogtraining #fearfuldogtraining #privatelessons #lafayettela #positivedogtraining #dogsofacadiana #behaviormodification #leashreactivity #certifiedbehaviorconsultant #dogbehaviortraining

Penny, the 7 month old Boykin Spaniel, is currentl Penny, the 7 month old Boykin Spaniel, is currently enrolled in private training lessons for behavior modification training. Penny struggles with Pica, a condition that results in her eating non-food items. Prior to training, she has had 2 foreign body surgeries to remove socks that she ingested. We have implemented heavy management, muzzle conditioning, and a referral to her vet as well as a veterinary behaviorist. When working with Pica it is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions for the behavior, as well as reducing her stress and anxiety. She is making tremendous progress in training. She is enjoying learning her obedience cues, working on her impulse control, and the increase of physical exercise.
