Dog training is most effective when it’s built on being clear, consistent, playful, encouraging and rewarding. At Mindful Training, we specialize in positive reinforcement dog training in ATX, helping dogs and their owners develop a strong, healthy bond. Today, we’re spotlighting two of our amazing clients and their journey to better behaved dogs in Austin, TX!
Meet Ocho and Aussie!
Pictured above are brothers: Ocho, and Aussie. Ocho, is a black Austrailian Cattle Dog and Labrador Mix while Aussie is a multi-colored, full Australian Cattle Dog. They both would react, bark, and charge at dogs and people walking on the opposite side of their front gate. After practicing multiple Reverse Constructional Aggression Treatments (RCAT) with us and one of our demo dogs, Ocho and Aussie are prime examples of how clarity and consistency with positive reinforcement training can make a difference. They are now less reactive towards stimuli behind their fence and front gate and have improved their responsiveness to their parents; coming over quickly when called.
