Frankie, the 5 year old Mixed Breed rescue dog, is Frankie, the 5 year old Mixed Breed rescue dog, is currently enrolled in behavior modification training with Vikki. He is struggling with separation anxiety and extremely progressed resource guarding. We are implementing daily walks to increase excercise and counter-conditioning of the triggers that predict his pet parent leaving. Due to the progressed state of his resource guarding we decided against using puzzle toys or recreational chews. We are implementing a management protocol for resource guarding and doing daily training involving counter-conditioning when someone approaches him near a trigger. Being that his resource guarding is progressed he guards his food bowl, the location where food and treats are kept, areas where he has enjoyed bones, and his owner.  We are excited to work with him and help reduce his daily stress levels and fear based behaviors. #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #privatelessons #behaviormodification #aggression #resourceguarding #rescuedog #positivedogtraining #lafayettela #separationanxiety #dogtrainer #certifiedbehaviorconsultant

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
