Pawsitive Notes - Tracking Dax's Milestones

Got a Question?
  • ​6/20/21 - Dax has been doing a great job acclimating to his environment, and is enjoying playing in the training area. It didn't take long to discover his great love of water and the hose! He is also fascinated with the misters we installed to keep the training area cool. He is already bonding with us, and next we will incorporate pack walks to begin the socialization aspect of his training.
  • 6/25/21 - Dax is showing some signs of aggression towards other dogs, both while in his own crate, and also when moving through the kennel area, towards other dogs in their crates. We are working to correct this. He continues to do well with obedience, and loves to play with the ball and the hose!
  • 7/1/21 - We introduced Dax to trainer dog Drogo in our training area, and he did well in the socialization session. He continues to bark and snarl at other dogs in their crates, and we are working to help him modify this. He is a star at his obedience, and is enjoying water play with us.
    7/3/21 - Dax went on a successful pack walk with Drogo! He displayed reactivity towards other dogs and humans, but was very responsive to correction. We are continuing to reinforce his obedience, and to work with him on his aggressive tendencies towards the other dogs in their crates. He is not yet ready to be introduced to a pack, so we will build his socialization skills with the trainer dogs.
  • 7/6/21 - Dax had an incident in which he attempted to attack another dog while in their crate. We subverted the attempt and are working with our trainer dogs to help reinforce appropriate behaviors. He did very well in a session with Drogo, and was even off leash! We are seeing great improvement in his socialization and responsiveness, but it will take more time to address the aggression issues and build new behavior patterns.
