Labrador Retrievers & Dog Training Camp San Diego

Leroy the Chocolate Lab who lives in Encinitas came to K9 Coach Dog Training Camp San Diego so he could get over his developing leash aggression. And the great news is, he’s coming along quite nicely. Dog Training Camp has been a big success for him so far.

He’s been walking right next to another dog on leash to desensitize him of his fear of the leash and other dogs near him. He’s also been doing a lot of walking by himself on a leash and with his new found attention to what he’s asked to do even with all kinds of distraction of other dogs approaching him while on leash. His improvement is huge.

Tonight we went on 45 minute walk around a trail with many other dogs, both on and off leash… some approaching him and some walking right past him. Leroy has been taught in a clear picture how to pay attention to what he’s supposed to be doing and did a great job of it all the way around the trail. Huge success. No lunging. No growling. Awesome.

Off leash recall is his other big thing. He’s also doing great at that. Now it’s a matter of continuing to add more and more distraction and having him do the same thing… come when called… no matter what!

Labs are well known to need a lot of exercise. It’s always a catch 22, if your dog doesn’t come to you when called or pulls your arm off while walking or running on a leash it’s not that easy to get enough exercise for your dog. The investment of dog training for the ability to get your dog enough exercise is not only the fairest thing you could do for your dog, but will be the best thing you’ve done for yourself. It’s an investment in your health as well as your dog’s.
