Ms. Maggie is an 8 year old rescue who's been with her owners a bit over 2 years. This sassy lady has been a tough nut to walk since her humans brought her home. Her reactive behaviors look like lunging, barking, and growling at people, dogs, bikes, and cars - all of which made for a less than peaceful walk!
This video shows her progress over six 1-hour long lessons, but her owners clearly did a ton of work in between. Reactive dog training is a process and takes time and practice to create new behavior patterns, our lessons together started the learning, but their practice in between really made the difference.
We're still meeting for lessons to work around more dogs, but as you can see walks have become less of a chore and much more enjoyable for the whole family!
