Chill Out Dog Training

We have a whole new dog after 3 sessions with Cameron! Our young lab, Remy, is very happy and enthusiastic, but he was a huge pain to walk. He would act out aggressively when he got frustrated that he couldn’t get close enough to sniff other dogs. We tried so much positive reinforcement training, but he would get way too intense for us to be able to distract or entice him. Cameron gave us some options and said we’d get the quickest and most predictable progress with an e-collar. Remy almost immediately learned not to over-react or focus too intensely on other dogs. I was resistant to using punishment-based training methods, but it was unfair for us not to walk a high-energy dog enough because he was too hard to handle. I appreciated that we use the lowest noticeable setting on the e-collar so it’s just enough to get his attention and snap him out of his fixation and it’s made us all so much happier! Cameron seems to really understand dog behavior and emotions in a super helpful way so we can predict Remy’s reactions based on small movements or changes. I will say he was definitely stressed out after the first training session (when he needed the most correction) but he was his normal happy-go-lucky self during the other two. In addition to walks being a dream now, we got so many tips for manners around the house and in public. If you’re struggling with behavior that makes life with your dog difficult or are thinking about re-homing, Chill Out Dog Training is a great way to get a complete reset for your furry friend!
