AUTO-DOWNS ♡

My girl is a couple months out of her 3 week board & train and Im just going to throw it out there - she is doing unreal!! ♡

Today we were walking, WITHOUT her training collar, & we were approaching another large dog. I walked Sawyer to the grass, where she auto-downed on HER OWN, but was still alert while we watched & waited.

The lady with the other dog told me to go by from the distance, which you can see in my video, & I said no she could walk by. Sawyer was in a down & totally chill &, as you can see, she had no control over her own dog in what I felt was a very safe & comfortable situation.

I didnt record as the lady walked by BUT Sawyer did sit up so I redirected her to a down, & we watched as the lady got closer while losing control. She did however muster some double armed strength to pull onto the street going off the curb and further away from us. Good lord. She also did yell towards me to let me know her dog was agressive. (Uhm ya no shit lady) ..... meanwhile my 6 month old XL Bulldog was laying on the grass chillin cuz it was no biggie.

So, if you made it this far - I am THRILLED with my girls performance & for her to still be a baby. I also give full credit to the Arsenal Team for giving Sawyer & I an amazing core foundation to lean on!! It has been the best education & investment Ive ever made!!

Situations like this could get ugly super fast.

Lucky for me, Sawyer does feed off my energy & if I don't react she wont react .... usually. She knew she was safe & she was listening to me quing her to stay down. Once the other group had passed I gave her HUGE praise with a 'FREE,' & big love energy, plus tons of hugs & play time for being such a good girl on our walkies!!
