Flex's Homework from Session with Elicia

We meet with Elicia Calhoun to try and resolve some of Flex's escalating aggression problems and here is our home work for him:

  1. When he steals something we trade the ball for instead of food.
  2. Practice strangers coming over to the house.
  3. Practice nose and body touch to the body wrap.
  4. Work on his dishwasher issues by rewarding around the appliance and reward for the door opening and closing.
  5. Reward a hand over his head.
  6. Train through my legs.
  7. Train under my legs.
  8. Leash him for stealing.
  9. Remove and crate him when he starts trying to bully the other dogs.
  10. Train a nose touch to my hand.
  11. One on one time.Get down on the ground with him for attention.
  12. Experiment with him sleeping with just me out of the x-pen. No other dogs in the room.
  13. Teach a pick up and retrieve for a reward.
  14. Keep a record of any noticeable responses and any triggers for the aggression.
