Seymour & Drayton Michaels, CTC Leash Training in NYC 12 3 11

Seymour is a dog living in foster care in NYC. I have worked with him three times since this video has been released.

Seymour is roughly 7 -- 8 months old and a mix of we are not sure what. He has had a rough past; which I will not get into for the sake of time. Suffice it to say he has had some traumas in his young life.

He is now is a good environment and lives with two adults.

He learns fast and is very keen on sits, stays and waits, following lures, speedy orientations to prompts and he has a great mouth, meaning no known bites and no known aggressions towards humans.

His main issues are his apprehensions and fears. The results of events that trigger his fears are cowering, not taking food and fleeing. This "lack of confidence" is not debilitating for him, though as with all dogs that display fear we want to "pad" desensitize and counter condition as fast and as effectively as possible so the dog stays sound and fears are reduced.

In addition Seymour he has been known to jump on people, jump out at passing people, lunge at people carrying bags, passing strollers, passing dogs, prey -- birds especially and passing bikes.

Watch as I work with Seymour on the busy streets of NYC where anything can happen!

I have a more in depth blog about this session and leash walking in general at Dog Star Daily http://www.dogstardaily.com/blogs/drayton-michaels-ctc-works-leash-training-s...

Enjoy!
