This month Betsy has been slowly settling into advanced training and getting into the swing of the busy days. We have been going on many field trips this month to try and get an idea of what she might like to do for the rest of her life! She is a very sweet and affectionate girl who loves being in the presence of people. She has shown that she can be pretty uncomfortable around other dogs and doesn’t like to share her toys with the other dogs in the house. We have been focusing a lot on changing those feelings and making her feel more comfortable.
- Skills Being Learned: Movement skills, sides/heels, engagement, loose leash walking, sit/down/stand mechanics
- Recent Field Trips: St. Albert Centre, PetSmart, Petland, West Edmonton Mall
- Possible Behaviour Challenges: Resource guarding around other dogs, motivated by sights and sounds in the environment, can struggle to stay on task
- Advanced Training Location: Calgary
Thank you again for all your support of Advanced Dog Betsy!
