Fearless Fidos

Meet Hayden 🐕

This handsome boy has some BIG feelings — and right now, he’s still learning how to handle situations that make him feel overwhelmed or overthreshold.

Hayden does have a bite history, which occurred when someone mistakenly entered the wrong yard while he was outside. While that history is important, it absolutely does not define him.

His behavior case is a bit more complex, and he reminds us how important it is to move at a dog’s pace; as well as, how crucial it is to take safety and management into consideration before attempting behavior modification of any kind.

Current Focus:
- Identifying Triggers
- Muzzle Training!
- Ruling Out Medical Cause for Spicy Behavior
- Safe & Low Arousal Introductions

We’re taking things slowly with him, making sure each step of the process is clear, safe, and focused on helping him feel secure💛
