Overcoming Fears, Setting Boundaries, & Improving Training Methods - Coaching Lab

Tali shares concerns about her dog's recent subdued behavior and fear of loud noises, particularly truck air brakes and metal grates, to which Ian suggested desensitization techniques. They also discussed how to manage personal space when guests visit, with Ian advising TiffianyAnn to step into her dog's space to set boundaries and reinforce control. The conversation included a plan for Tali to record her dog's greeting behavior for further review and tips on using treats and leash handling to help her dog overcome its fear of metal objects. Ian also emphasized the importance of draining a dog's energy before training and highlighted how different leash tools depend on the handler's comfort. Lastly, TiffianyAnn was encouraged to establish consistent positive interactions between her dog and her mother to improve behavior.
