Sophie, the 4 year old Dachshund Mix, was recently Sophie, the 4 year old Dachshund Mix, was recently adopted from the animal shelter. She is rocking her behavior modification training. Her elderly owners work with her every single day. She is greatly reducing her jumping, nipping, and built so much confidence with training. She is mastering her obedience cues and manners.

Bellie, the 12 year old rescue American Staffordsh Bellie, the 12 year old rescue American Staffordshire Terrier Mix, recently had a behavior consultation. Her owners were looking for a fun activity to do with her as a senior dog. They wanted to see if she would like Nosework and she took it it with ease! She is reactive to other dogs and had so much fun at her private lesson being  imprinted on odor and learning how to develop hunt drive. We also discussed behavioral changes that can occur related to aging, enrichment, and introduced her to the "bunker protocol" to help calm her with her thunderstorm anxiety. It was such a fun session. Dogs can learn new skills at any age and training excercises can help keep our senior dogs mobile and sharp. Great job, Bellie! #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #privatelessons #behaviorconsultation #seniordogs #noseworkdog #lafayettela #agingpets #rescuedogsofinstagram🐾
