Classic Doberman 9 months old
Trainer Melvin Jones
Ashey, was found by @MadLoveAnimalRescue . She was being kept on a balcony under nourish and zero exercise with no manners.
Plan:
With Ashey being one a puppy and two growing into a large dog, Ashey needs manners if she is going to get and keep a new home. Melvin has recommended a 8 -10 weeks training program for basic obedience, however due to funding we only have 6 weeks. Luckily for Ashey, Melvin is a good trainer. This program is 50/50 dog and human training. The rescue has worked with us before and so Nikki has some training under her belt. Nikki is fully committed and if Ashey is adopted during training the new owner will take over Ashey's training program. Should the adopter not be local, Ashey will remain with the rescue until training is completed.

First session was to focus on calm and still, energy work, before adding in movement in the way we want.

Session 2 Ashey learnt how to follow even when triggers happen which take her attention. Getting Ashey into a follow state is important for her to walk on the leash with no pulling and to look to the human for guidance.

Session 3 was car exist manners training, how Ashey is expected to leave the car. This is also transferred to the home when Ashey comes in and out of doors. Then Nikki worked on leash work and getting Ashey into the follow state.

Session 4 Melvin introduced Ashey to the figure 8 or otherwise known as a gentle leader. This is a great tool for dogs who pull.
