Initially, Merlin would bark consistently at people walking past the garden, visitors coming into the home, and dogs on walks.

We introduced a way of interrupting the barking and asking for alternative behaviour. We also put a plan in place for counter conditioning to knock on the door to help prevent barking.


Today we looked at what to do on walks around dogs and people, being able to maintain focus, and how to greet other dogs appropriately.


Merlin and his owners did fantastic today and he picked up the new cues really quickly. Now it's up to his owners to continue with practicing the new skills to prevent him from falling back to old habits.


Well done Merlin & Co.

This post does an excellent job of breaking down training methods in a way that’s approachable for pet owners. The examples you provided really clarify the points. I saw a related conversation on https://southerndry.com/ recently, which also offered some thoughtful insights on balancing structure and flexibility in training routines.

“Loved this post! Your tips on dog training were clear and easy to follow. It reminded me of another article I came across on a https://www.sherwaytrilliumdental.ca/ blog where they discussed building trust in a service, and it made me think about how trust is also so important with pets.”

I’m incredibly thankful for the team at The Sage Law Group. They helped me through a very difficult custody battle. https://thesagelawgroup.ca/ experience in family court really stood out. I appreciated their honest advice and supportive approach. It’s rare to find a legal team that cares this much. If you need help with family issues, they are the best.
