CARSON here is a Labrador Retreiver and many people don’t realize that means the breed is called that because they were meant to be swimming in the cold Canadian waters so this whole winter thing is no big deal to him!

It is so crucial for distraction training to be able to spend a prolonged time around other dogs in order to learn how to be calm around them. And I always say quality over quantity. Finding a great dog to practice with is a big help!

Indy is turning 2 in August and this is the FIRST real neighborhood walk I’ve ever gone on with him. Why? He was a pretty reactive puppy. We did park walks and training and gradual desensitization in parking lots and then stores. He’s helped me out with clients and at lessons and I’ve worked SO HARD with him. And now? We walked… we walked right past people within just a couple feet and the closer they were the closer he wanted to be next to me but not a peep out of him. He sniffed. He did his business. We saw a couple dogs and even a big American bulldog barked at us through a fence 30 ft from us. He perked up and looked and then … we moved on. He was perfect. He wanted to detour to the beach but we weren’t allowed yet.

Anyway I just wanted to remind people that you do NOT need to face your challenges head on. You can came at it from all different angles and you can learn (or teach) the mental skills needed to handle different situations without actually being in those situations. And often that’s actually the easier way. He’s still a territorial ACD in the house but when he’s out … he’s just ( as someone said to us on our walk) “ a beautiful dog”.
