Browney
scruffy sensitive honey pie mix / male / abs 5 y /37 lbs
Dog Trainer Jamie notes...... as with every dog in our care, we put our heads together & came up with happy playful ways to help Browney relax. His plan included lots of fresh chicken as treats which made every experience a positive one. As Brown was ready, he learned a bunch of fun, confidence building exercises like using the treadmill, problem solving, agility jumps, and balance games.
Recognizing his affinity for fellow dogs we made sure he had regular & varied playgroups with all his doggie friends! He is still getting braver by the day.. he and his handlers have developed wonderful coping skills when presented with an "impending threat".. refocusing on sit, stay, look, down, touch, and heel are all a part of his vocabulary and redirects his attention in a way that makes him feel chill! Brown now has a wonderful recall and will come when called (almost) every time!
A favorite activity of his is long lining in the paddock! Brown went from a frozen panic stricken stare out in the distance looking for threats to loosely galloping through the fields feeling the great pleasure of liberty. Brown always rolls when out in the fields.. he rubs his face in the grass and will sometimes slide 10 feet on his back wiggling on! We are helping him to respond to new people by using his natural doggie skills.. relax ..assess the person by feeling energy.. using scent and reading body language instead of right away assuming stranger = danger!!
Brown is a much beloved scruffy, adorable sweet dog.. We are all enjoying our time with him.. he makes us all so proud!! His thank yous are the best.. He's a GREAT and eccentric dog!! We all love him to bits!

Heres our delightful boy doing his Browney slide and roll and face smearing!! Even when one this mates tries to entice him off for play.. he has to complete the ritual! We think its a way he smooths out his aura! He's all in on the game with other dogs once he's finished his slide! As you can see he is indeed a quirky sweet boy!!! You can hear Jamie chuckling with delight.. thats what Browney does!! He's a good boy!
