Reactive, Unmotivated and Fearful: Finding Resiliency For This! Beyond Dog Training Part 1 #203

Visit us at shapedbydog.com 

 

Over the past couple of years, I’ve documented many challenges my dog This! and I have overcome, like reactivity, fear, resource guarding, and car sickness, to name a few behavior issues. And then, at an agility seminar here at my facility, This! fell apart. Now it’s time to put everything together. I have a two-part series outlining a timeline of This!’s struggles and what I’ve discovered to help her and any other dogs.

 

In the episode you'll hear:

 

• How This! falling apart at an agility seminar was a symptom of a larger problem. • Why you can’t dog train something that isn’t a dog training problem. • The origins of This!’s name and that there are no coincidences. • What I began noticing about This!’s body mechanics early in puppyhood. • That This! only showed true drive for activities of adrenaline like chasing. • About the reactivity, resource guarding, car sickness, stunted growth, and joylessness experienced by This!. • How anything involving thinking for This! led to her decompressing for hours. • Why my only focus for This! became her joy. • How a naturopath came into my life to help me help This!. • About This!’s growth stall relative to her littermates. • What agility jump grids help us notice in our agility dogs. • This!’s immediate performance improvement after nutritional changes.
