Using Play to Build Confidence

Turbo and his brother came to us due to serious fighting at home, rooted in their insecurity and lack of confidence. While teaching them the down command was challenging, labeling them as "stubborn" or "dominant" would be inaccurate. After completing their board and train program, they now down quickly and enthusiastically, overcoming their struggles, including the fighting.

Turbo and his brother came to us for serious fighting in the home. The biggest root cause for the intense fight is the insecure nature of both dogs. Both dogs struggle with any kind of criticism and completely lack confidence. One of the challenging parts of their training was teaching them the down command. It is easy to say they are "stubborn" or "dominant" and that is why they struggle with this command, but that is very inaccurate for these brothers. Since the filming of this video, they have completed their board and train program and now down with speed and enthusiasm. It took a few weeks longer than many dogs, but they aced it, along with many other obstacles including their fighting, in the end.
