WECLOME TO HEX DOG TRAINING!

Training Mr. Sensitive

I thought I would post this, because I found this experience very enlightening as a trainer, and thought you might, too!

With Dually, you have to be so aware of your body language & the tone of your voice because he is so sensitive. The littlest differences in movements and your voice can make him shut down... I have never had a soft dog like this, and it's amazing because I've never had a dog with a 27" head either! It is a cool experience for me, as a trainer, working with him because I really have to celebrate the little victories, maintain that very peaceful mindset, and really break down things into small steps in order for him to be nothing but successful because he picks up on the littlest bit of frustration. For us, that means he takes about 3x as long as some of my other dogs to teach the same behavior, because even a simple "eh, eh" (just a "no reward" marker, not a physical correction or anything) will get him looking over his shoulder to his crate ("safety!"). The more we work, the more confident he is becoming, and it is very cool to see, and it doesn't matter that it takes 3x as much... it really doesn't. ♥
