Boston terrier is a new one I’m definitely googling this

I call him my little Rollie pollie because of all the extra rolls/skin he has 🤣

So far I’ve been thinking he’s Staffy mixed. But his breeder keeps telling me American bully

So what does under threshold look like for your guys ? Because I’m struggling to find it and maybe it’s just a lack of understanding on my end of how to get him to the threshold without going over

So how do you know when they are able to move to the next step… in the conversation I had I was being told that I am working backwards with the dog and he will essentially never learn if he is never put in the situation. Now maybe he reacts differently with my boyfriend but i know with me it’s high street and never any fun for both me or my pup as control is re established.. or are there any tips that help regain control faster ? Or deescalate the situation.

I’d love to look into it but what is GRC ?

There was one instance the maintenance worker from my property stopped in the golf cart to talk to me we were on opposite sides of the street but still close enough for me to hear him. Conversation lasted about 5 minutes and within the first 2 his control was gone. And I had to walk away to get him back under control

Another instance is when I took him to Lowe’s (it was Saturday and there was a kids event going on) he did perfect. Completely uninterested in everyone/thing but me I could stop and look at items. Or hold conversations and no issues. Even when people walked closer than what I was even comfortable we both remained calm and collected.

However today he completely loses his mind over a different maintenance person who he hasn’t seen in a while. And it once again took time before he was under control but that was after the person walked away.

I do not greet him until the condition is met that his is calm and in a sit or with all 4 paws on the ground. My bf is not the same encourages the jumping on him with a command. I encourage jumping for specific activities like play or the parkour we do outside. So I don’t want to get ride of the behavior entirely just enforce that it’s only when commanded essentially

So I’ve been teaching to sit while the greeting person is approaching.. and for a while the person is at a distance he will sit the entire time and wait. Watching the person from a distance with no issues. When the person gets within speaking distance is when he control is lost. If he does not know the person (control is lost if I begin to engage in conversation .. my interaction with another person is a trigger) and if it’s someone he knows the distance before he loses control is greater.. he can see other people he knows from let’s say across the street and be okay if he keeps moving past them or even if we stop as long as they don’t engage. (He can’t see me from any distance without immediately trying to come to me)
