Well Peeps! Lil man Rey, is back home with his family after spending 3 weeks building a solid obedience foundation that will set him up to becoming the everywhere dog his family wants him to be!
Although Rey is still a young pup, training EARLY, and staying CONSISTENT is essential in staving off all of those unwanted behaviors that tend to bubble up the older a dog gets. Thanks to his dedicated family, he has now learned how to function and behave in the human world - something that most owners off until their dog’s behavior can no longer go ignored. It’s now up to Rey’s family to continue on with his exposure, follow through, stay consistent, and establish a dependable routine. Remember, behavior is formed out of repeatedly practiced habits. Those habits can either create a reliable, stable, respectful dog, or fuel quite the opposite - manic, aggressive, disrespectful, or hyper-reactive.
We talked about how when a dog clearly knows what it is you are asking, but may still willfully make the choice to ignore your wishes, that it is in that very moment, we need to step up, and demand respect before our dogs quickly learn that they can bulldoze right on over us, making rules that serve them alone.
Dogs are at their best, most stable, healthy, and comfortable selves (just like our kids) when there is structure, routine, boundaries, rules, and accountability at play. A small shift in each one of these areas can work miracles. All it takes is our attention, follow though, and commitment to making it happen.
Rey is one lucky pup - his Parents and Brother are total rockstars, and they have gifted him with the foundation needed to become his most balanced and true self!
