Benny started showing aggressive/insecure behavior around new dogs, especially large dogs. When I pick him up or lean over him – he calms down a bit. He usually does tricks with the focus with treats, and he doesn’t notice anything around when I have a toy. I want him to be more comfortable/ignore dogs. It can be also ‘teenage’ age..
Sends to the platform with distractions in the class – I allowed him to interact with the large dog and he became much calmer around it.
One session today – front feet target with the toy. We had distractions around and Benny ignores it when we use toys. I started closer because he is too focused on the toy, so we did some short sends on both sides.
cones with the toy – we had ‘disctructions’ during our camping, so I started with
the code close to me and he figured out:)
treats with cones – getting more consistent
We are camping in the park, so we have some distractions outside. Benny is very focused on the toy play and he checked-out passing people when he grabbed his toy and was on his way back to me. But when he tugs or running with me – he doesn’t notice anything. Outdoor forward focus – he drives to the toy by himself, while I can do anything – standing still, running in the opposite direction or do front crosses. I added front crosses this time.
target sends – we did more on right to balance him out. Platform sends – added distance and rewarded off the platform.
Benny tricks – sends to the object and platform (we worked on the platform for some time), cone wraps with food target and lots of play in-between to keep him happy:
Forward focus – we played restraint games before, we also worked on sends/wraps and offering wraps/tunnels, so I used the toy target with and without obstacles, sometimes running to the toy and sometimes throwing it after the tunnel. He looks comfortable with me rushing to the toy together.
