Remember our video "Calming the Aggressive Dog Through Taking A Breathe"? When we filmed that video Elfie could not come out of her crate when I was there due to her aggression. Here is the next step in her training. She can now come out with me and without the muzzle. She is however, aggressive on a walk. She has not been walked in a long time because Margeret was afraid she could not handle her and that she would bite someone. We have desensitized her to the basket muzzle over the last 3 weeks and today was her their first walk together! The use of the muzzle is not a negative because Elfie associates it with training and rewards. She gets excited when she sees it! Our next step, is to begin helping her with distractions and people. Watch for the update!
Elfie does not mind the muzzle, we have worked for several weeks with it before putting it on her. She connects the muzzle with training and rewards!
