Meet Templeton!This little guy was adopted at four months old and now lives happily in Arlington. Gordon and I got to spend a couple hours with him to work on his leash-walking and overly-excited greetings.
See, Templeton's the kind of dog who's so thrilled to meet new people that he jumps up all over them with the hopes of planting a kiss on their faces. Unfortunately, not everyone enjoys a sloppy lick hello as much as Templeton — not to mention fresh pawprints across a nice article of clothing. We needed to show this guy that he's more likely to be greeted enthusiastically himself if he behaves calmly and politely with friends, guests and people he meets on a walk.
Speaking of going on walks... Templeton may look small and unassuming, but he's actually 100% muscle. He particularly enjoys resistance training... especially when he's building strength by pulling his owner down the street with his leash.
Though Templeton's a special dog, his issues are actually quite common — which meant that we had easy Zen Dog solutions to help him drop his bad habits. By doing a few simple exercises every day, Templeton can learn to behave properly with people, even if he meets them on-leash.
