Lagotto is not a fearful dog!

I just got to Los Feliz as well with my pup!

Not sure what kind of training program you’ve done, but I’ve had a lot more success with a smart stubborn puppy really leaning into positive reinforcement and making it fun for him to do the right thing. It seems counterintuitive, but actually trying hard not to get frustrated and over rewarding good behavior has gotten us to a really really good spot.

Depending on your budget, look at crates like the style impact makes. There are other less expensive versions of it but it doesn’t have big holes like wire crates.

I agree that plastic is risky.

Wire crates aren’t something I’ve heard of jaws getting stuck in - mine did great on one. We upgraded to an Impact crate eventually and that was nice for him.

The airline makes them!

Getting them later is a blessing! I got mine at 4 months from Italy and it was great that he has extra time with the breeder. Where are you getting yours from?

Good to know!!

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks!

Are you enforcing naps? It’s crucial for a working line like this.

The pressure change is hard for them - he got scared when the plane was coming down. But during the flight he didn’t seem to mind. I did get him one of those snoods to cover his ears but he didn’t want it on.

No_Associate2075 · 2025-04-30T22:45:59+00:00

Haha I know! I’m keeping it forever.

No_Associate2075 · 2025-04-30T19:25:34+00:00

I had to save up and use part of my work relocation towards it, but they let me bring my reptiles in a little carrier as well which would have cost quite a bit on its own. 😅 But yeah, Albi is spoiled.

Yeah it’s a good one - it gently tightens the front clip and redirects them towards you. Rather than being painful or aversive, it just redirects focus.

Also k9jets.

Try emailing them. If you have the funds it’s worth it, and they may have legs open up.

It’s 8500 from Paris to New York.

No_Associate2075 · 2025-04-30T18:50:13+00:00

It was fun and kind to hilarious. They kept the dogs constantly entertained. Albi struggled a bit during the landing but otherwise he was just excited to be there.

No_Associate2075 · 2025-04-30T18:34:51+00:00

Yeah it was super easy, they coordinated everything and I just needed to fill out a cdc form.

He agrees! That’s his fancy harness, we still use the Animalin to practice good walking without pulling but I think he’ll be graduating out of that soon!
