My Reaction to my Dog's Stress in the Ring // AKC Obedience

If your dog struggles with anxiety in the ring, you're not alone! That's actually a common problem! While working with Forest a few days ago, he showed me signs of stress for the very first time. Ring nerves can have an impact on both dogs and people, so I think it's important to react a certain way. What precedent did I choose to set this time? How did I help him overcome his anxiety? And can you use this technique to help your own dog?

This year, we're working on Obedience and Rally skills as well as exploring new enrichment and canine puzzles! About Kayla: I began training dogs in 2008, starting with raising puppies to be future service dogs and fell in love with the human-canine connection. Over the last several years, I’m thankful to have had the chance to help train service dogs, therapy dogs, compete in Obedience and Rally, and introduce people to the dog sports I love. Thank you for watching this video! It would mean a lot to me if you subscribed and joined Forest, Maya, Callie, and me on all of our future canine-related adventures!
