Trevor is doing much better with his training. He still has his fear issues, but I seem to be able to control him better during his episodes. One good thing is that he is learning that his safe zone is with me instead of finding a safe zone on his on. He wants to use his crate as a safe area, but I have been working with him so that he knows he must still come to me even if it means leaving the safety of his crate and therefore teaching him that I am also a safe area.
Trevor is doing great with his Sit, Down, and Stay and is doing well with Heel and walking on a loose leash. Right now, during training, he is dragging a long line. I am able to control him using the collar now without using the guidance of the leash.
Trevor has also enjoyed playing with the dogs here, including his old buddies, Abby and Flash. I feel that the other dogs help him cope with some of his fear issues.
All in all, I am seening great improvement in Trevor's training. I hope we will continue to make progress and help him overcome some of his anxieties.
