Welcome to Stitch, the 7 year old Frenchie! He’s here for 4 weeks to address some behavioral issues including leash reactivity towards other dogs and small wildlife, as well as excitement jumping on people. The biggest issue by far however is aggression towards young children. It’s important to note, behavior modification is about changing the way a dog thinks and feels towards potential triggers, so it is quite a bit more involved than teaching a handful of basic training skills. That said those foundational skills are some of tools that we can use to help the process, so that’s were we begin as we working to build up and lay a foundation of the basics before we introduce the remote collar. Once we have established better communication, a positive attitude toward training, relatively strong impulse control, and created a relationship to help establish a few rules, we can then work to address some of the bigger issues. So far he’s doing well!
