Pawsitive Notes - Tracking BELLA's Milestones

Got a Question?
  • ​7/3 - Bella showed some territorial responses in the office by barking at anyone who entered, but is already showing responsiveness to "Leave-It" and "Quiet".
  • 7/7 - Bella is out with Rodeo and Drogo and is doing well. She is even playing appropriately with Drogo!
  • 7/9 - Bella has decided the hose is a toy. What a goof!
  • 7/11 - Bella got out on a walk with fellow Live-In Client, Bailey. She had zero issues on the walk and completely ignored other dogs. She repeatedly kept trying to engage Bailey in play during the walk. When we returned home, they had a blast playing together!
  • 7/13 - Bailey and Bella play together perfectly. They are the best of friends!
  • 7/16 - Bella and Bailey have an excellent walk together without issue today!
  • 7/17 - Bella got out in the full pack today! She did well. She did get overstimulated once by one of the other dogs who is persistent in interactions and gruff sounding. It made Bella nervous and she went to correct the other dog. Both dogs ended up getting corrections from Mark, but all in all, a great start to being part of the bigger pack!
  • 7/18 - More full pack time for Bella and she is starting to adjust very well! She's still a little hesitant around all the new dogs, but is calmer and observational.
  • 7/20 - The hose is turning out to be a great tool for working "Leave-It" and focusing in high distraction situations. Bella wants to play with the hose but has to "Leave-It" until told "Okay". She's about 50/50 with listening to those commands right now.
  • 7/23 - Bella is getting better with listening to "Leave-It" with playing with the hose (which should translate over into other situation as well). We are at about a 75/25 ratio now!
  • 7/24 - Bella is actively engaging other pack members in appropriate play now!
  • 7/26 - Bella showed some aggression today towards pack leader Rodeo. Another dog instigated the issue with Rodeo and Bella jumped in as well. Then she redirected her aggression towards Mark and received corrections.
  • 7/27 - Bella is well behaved today! She is a little hesitant around Rodeo, but behaving well and engaging in appropriate play with the rest of the pack.
