🐩We recently met with River, the 3 year old Standa 🐩We recently met with River, the 3 year old Standard Poodle rescue, for an in-home consultation. She was rescued in November and is struggling with fesr aggression towards men and weather anxiety. We discussed management, enrichment, calming aids, systematic desensitization, counter-conditioning, and the bunker protocol for bad weather. She is very sweet. Right now we aee focused on her having predictable greetings with guests and creating space for her when she is uncomfortable. She also learned how to touch and lie down during our consult.  #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #privatelessons #behaviormodification #lafayettela #dogtraining #anxiety #fearfuldogs #fearfuldogsofinstagram #aggression #dogtraining #dogstagram #standardpoodlesofinstagram  #rescuedogsofinstagram #doglovers #standardpoodle
