In nature, dogs don't line up for training sessions so we must keep the training very short, frequent and fun and engaging for them. It may just be body shaking is how he chose, or chooses in the future, to handle light stress or boredom.
His reaction could be something in the nature of the training techniques or tone of voice, body attitude, etc., of the trainers he interacts with cause him some degree of tension or boredom. Are they/you making the training fun, interesting and upbeat for him? |
NO, he keeps lunging at the dog he is being trained with, that's why he's in obedience training, to stop or get the lunging under control. These are one hour sessions, as we all know that is to long for terrier's, they loose interest. His interest is in getting to the other dog, I think he is frustrated because he is so close to another dog, yet not allowed to meet. The trainer thinks diff. I am no trainer of aggressive behavior, I consider what she says. I will be taking him to pet supply stores, stand outside where he can see dogs trickle in and out and work in short time spans. It was the shaking off term that threw me off. Well I now have some knowledge and can start the practice on short periods at the pet stores. As always your advise / suggestions is always appreciated and used / tried. Thank you
