#don’t hate on me for his intake butt fluff okay he JUST started mass blowing his coat and he loathes his butt brushed

If you need some hope to get you through reactive dog training, here’s Arlo playing around without a care in the world while the neighbor dog barks at us on the other side of the *chicken wire* fence :’)

There was a time when he’d be barking back, a time when he’d maybe be lunging at the fence, and a time when he’d be cowering in the other corner of the yard if there were a dog barking at him. But look at him now! Don’t give up!

#don’t hate on me for his intake butt fluff okay he JUST started mass blowing his coat and he loathes his butt brushed #we’re working on it slowly #bc even tho it Needs to get done I do wish to someday maybe not have brushing his butt be a whole thing #kinda like how I didn’t want his reactivity and fear aggression to be a whole thing forever lol #he is cooler with tiny boys than other dogs but there was a giant male mastiff mix in the yard with a horrifying bark-he did not mind him #either #Arlo #dogblr #I don’t know what word I meant to type where ‘intake’ is but I know it wasn’t that #oh untamed* maybe
