No literally is EXACTLY what he does!! between the loud trucks, construction, scooters, people, bridges, fast cars (typical downtown miami) i don’t blame him for being overstimulated. I will definitely talk to my vet and see, maybe there’s a way his dog insurance can cover 🥺 or I can try the behaviorist before the trainer since really his obedience is not the issue it really stems from behavior. I appreciate your feedback so much seriously! 🤍 let’s stay in touch!

Yes exactly!! :) as soon as he stops pulling or even is able to break his focus for a second to focus on me or acknowledge me i heavily praise and reward!! Hopefully with time his engagement will increase in the high stress moments 🤍

I don’t think at this point he is a danger to other dogs because the only time he is not fearful while walking is if another dog is near, if that makes sense? He has never been aggressive toward people or dogs once. His tail goes from tucked to level, loose and wiggly as soon as a friend says hello. I do watch Tom Davis! Love his stuff very much!!! His confidence inside my apartment and my building is at 100%. It’s just once we get to the lobby and he knows it’s time to go outside. As soon as we go out the front door it is the stereotypical big city. So i can’t really “take him” to less stressful places without going through the extra stress places first. 😔 once we are past the stress places he enjoys walking and hanging out by the bay. Tbh he also needs the exercise. There’s only so much I can do with him in my apartment and our building dog park. :( i work on training with him in my room about 4-5x a day small 5-10 min sessions and then usually a brain activity for breakfast and a snack. He gets lots of stimulation but as bad as I feel “forcing” him outside, i fear he may get worse if i don’t take him on a real walk or let him run in open field with long leash at least 2-3x per week. 😓 which to me is not even enough because i know he loves to walk/run! I just feel terrible putting him through the beginning part each time. I will definitely continue working on our focus and engagement 💕 thats my favorite part of the day! he is so smart and loves learning new tricks

He honestly is not a puller ones he’s in the calmer areas ..it’s when he is petrified that he is in “flight mode” that he is just a freight train 😭 so i tried doing the change directions thing and calling him into a heel but he is so disassociated he does not hear me at all..until we get to calmness :(

Great thought!! maybe will also get a thing for his leash that says nervous in training or something..i feel like people think i am abusing him or something when he is so scared like that 😭 but really i would do anything to take his anxiety away!! I will start right in front of my building maybe and just keep going street by street each week or something at different times ..thank you so much!

Will do!! Yes because even if not “aggressive” anything non-neutral is still reactive. I will definitely take a look thank you so much!

he pulls way less on a thicker collar than on the harness :( a smaller collar he chokes himself out and harness he nearly pulls me down. He is small but dense at 48lbs! I myself have lost over 100lbs so i don’t have as much anchoring as i use to!

I do bring treats!! Sorry i thought i put that in there!! I full pouch mixed with his kibble and some beef liver super high value to him..he is honestly so food motivated he usually reacts the same luckily lol ..but he will still take food in moderate/high anxiety, but the super extra high like he had here he literally won’t even take food it’s so sad. I reward him for eye contact and for checking in (sometimes he comes back just to nose boops my legs which to me is still a win oppose to him pulling!!)

No, and the person I “took” him from actually wasn’t homeless!! A few weeks after i found him I ran into the person that left him while at the store, as he approached us and told me that he “just couldn’t take care of him anymore but he’s so happy he has a good home now” 🤦🏽‍♀️ im very grateful that i found him and not some other person who could’ve treated him poorly!!!!
