SPUD THE LABRADOR

We had this handsome boy come and see us for help with loose leash walking, recall, and over excitement around people and dogs.

Spud is a very typical young Labrador, full of energy, wanting to sniff everything in sight and say hello to anything that moves.

We started the session off by going through ways to increase his food drive as he was able to graze and didn’t really value food, which makes training even harder.

Next, we covered leash pressure and focus on his owner. Spud would nearly dislocate your arm to sniff something, so we taught him that he needed to remain in the heel position until told otherwise.

We then went through ways to keep his attention by using body movement and making his training fun.

These guys have signed up to our Liberty Package, so we will do more work around dog neutrality and not being over excited around people.
