In this conversation, Fabian, Brittney, and Justin discuss their experiences in working with high-drive dogs, particularly focusing on Brittney's dog Oso. Oso is a Malinois with intense drive and energy, making him a unique challenge in training. Brittney shares her journey with Oso, highlighting his tendencies towards frantic behavior, especially in bite work sessions.
They touch upon the importance of managing a dog's arousal levels, finding the right time to deliver corrections, and ensuring a dog's understanding during training to avoid accidental bites. This conversation sheds light on the complexities of training high-drive dogs and the need for a balanced approach to behavior modification.
The conversation also discusses Justin's unique challenges with rehab dog cases at Found Training. We also get a special look into the original Found dog, Jackson. Jackson was the start of behavioral training being an integral part of Found because of his reactiveness, biting, and difficulty to manage.
