Dog Life

Took a little break from the horses yesterday afternoon and got to work this troubled pit bull that is in training with Kelly Engel over at Know Thy Dog training. Here a couple shots where I am working on getting him to let go of a thought and pick up one of mine. He has a really hard time with this and freezes with very heavy thoughts. When one of these heavy thoughts is interrupted in a big way...well that's when it gets exciting. This situation is very much like many horses that buck, and I handled it similarly, though with some dog specific moments.

Please note he is safely muzzled. This was great because he and I could work through those troubled moments safely
