Rescue Dog Finds Comfort in Training

March 3, 2023 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Rescue Dog

Rescue dog, Goose the 2-year-old Lab/Staffie mix is finding comfort in his new training regimen!

“With starting at Unleashed Potential with Coach Sara, I was a bit hesitant with some guidelines; specifically the temporary no raised surfaces and no free lunch rules. I didn’t necessarily see how those guidelines would contribute to my dogs obedience training. But committing fully to the behaviour modification included in the E-Collar Program, I reluctantly pulled his bed and kennel out of storage and banned the couches and sleeping in my bed.

I was shocked on my first day as Goose quickly learned that his bed/kennel was his new couch and sleeping area and settled there a lot easier than I had anticipated and he’s very happy! An even bigger surprise was the changes I saw in Goose just from making these small adjustments to our human/dog dynamic.

Rescue Dog

Over the first week, I noticed Goose was already more receptive to my commands and had a generally more content demeanor. I often find him hanging out in his kennel and being the independent little man I never thought my clingy boy would be. I can see how this will help with his separation anxiety.

Being only two and a half weeks into the E-Collar Program, I feel so reassured in the process and that my dog loves being a dog just as much as he loves being my big baby.

We had an awesome training session the other day! We were outside training in the driveway and the Chocolate Lab across the street was out and barking at Goose. Goose would look over at the Lab but stayed seated and tuned in with me. We completed our session with no reactivity to the barking Lab! I was so proud!”
