Before camp: Reactivity in a home with small children in it.
Before
Where Flyer Started
Reactivity in a home with small children in it
Dustin and Naomi were not waiting for something serious to happen. They came to us because of what could happen. Flyer was showing reactivity at home, and there were small children in that home.
That is the right time to call. The families who wait until after an incident have fewer options and less room to work with.
The program
Flyer's Behavior Camp
Flyer went through a four week Behavior Camp with senior trainer Chase. A month on campus gave the team room to work him below threshold, build a reliable default, and then bring pressure back in on purpose.
The whole stay is documented in one long-form episode, start to finish, rather than cut into highlights.

After
Where Flyer Ended Up
Flyer went home with the behavior his family needed him to hold around their kids, and Dustin and Naomi went home knowing what to watch for and what to do about it.
The result they were after was not a trained dog. It was a house where nobody had to think about it.
