Wiley the Min Pin is doing extremely well now. His owners informed me that several people who visited thought he was a different dog! Wiley barks when strangers come to the home, but now he stops when he is told. Wiley is rewarded with treats and praise for making eye contact or relaxing in situations that used to give him terrible stress. He now understands that his owners have everything under control and that he doesn't need to be nervous and take matters into his own paws. Wiley learned to lie down and stay on his bed, to come when he was called, to follow his person from one place to another when he is unsure and to respond to the command STOP when guests arrive and his owners want him to stop barking. Wiley loves learning. He is so eager to get started when I arrive each week! Wiley still has a few sessions left but his owners are very proud of him and themselves. He truly is a happier more secure dog.
