Fearful Shepherd Mix & American Bully Puppy Start Public Access Training

Miss Pippa, the intensely fearful, very reactive Shepherd mix, and Cash, the extremely hard-headed American Bully puppy, started their public access work! I just cannot believe these kiddo’s progress! As little as a week ago, it would have been impossible to walk them ANYWHERE, let alone a store, without Pippa irrationally spooking or freezing, and Cash bulldozing his way through the merch. We’ve been working hard on conditioning both dogs to defer to their humans, and look to the person that’s holding the leash for guidance. Tuning out the world and listening to their person is critical in developing a stable state of mind. This process has involved a comprehensive program based in PERMISSION ONLY ACTIVITY, where every step and choice they make, is managed and dictated by their humans. This has slowed down issues with processing and emotional regulation, creating a bit more mindfulness! We headed to Lowes, to start solidifying both dog’s obedience out in the real world. Lowes is loaded with things a dog has never seen, heard, or smelled! And for these pups, unfamiliar sounds, strangers, and large moving objects can flip them to an unhealthy, reactive headspace. Working around a ton of distraction like this desensitizes the dogs to the unfamiliar, and helps them defer to their person when confronted with triggers that concern them. Having a Leader to guide them through their experiences, while also holding them accountable for any panic or irrationality, is key. They then learn to look to their person instead of being overly concerned about everything else around us. Nice job kiddos!
