Kellie seeing how 'flooding' works to get a reactive dog to desensitize to stimuli.

AND AFTER THESE 8 MINUTES OF 'FLOODING', Piper was way more relaxed and compliant.

FC Week 10 Group Stays, these were Zoey's 1st Group Stays.  She did great!  So, too, did the other 3 dogs, Nova, Ruth and Molly.  AND 15-week-old Riley, behind the baby gate, LOL, at some points doing Stays, Riley was actually mirroring the positions of the other dogs.  Dogs DO learn by watching other dogs.

GREAT lesson!

A very FUN and fascinating video.

Thought you'd enjoy this 'dual' video of 15-week-old Lab puppy Riley, attempting her MP EXAM work with 2-year-old Lab grown dog, Ruth, 'mirroring' Riley.  Fascinating to see the differences that time, consistent training, and a commitment to KMODT makes in a dog.  I REALLY like this video-:) 

And I am super-duper proud of my Ruth today!!
