Just over two months ago I visited two gorgeous Shiba Inus, Shoko and Azuki
Amongst other problems Azuki was very fearful when out on walks – of loud traffic, anything unusual and most particularly of approaching people. He would lunge and bark. His humans were not enjoying
walks.
We developed a plan that combined management, training and behaviour work – most particularly with Azuki out on walks, working with him by himself.
Life now is a lot easier. I received this email today: “I actually enjoy walking the dogs now! The baby gate has made a big difference, it’s so much calmer in our house. Energy and excitement levels stay much more steady! Much less jumping up happening too – which is great. Because I’m not concerned about them knocking over my nephew like I was before they can interact a bit more which helps them learn more about kids too”.
