Pawsitive Notes - Tracking Jimma's Milestones

Got a Question?
  • ​8/22/21 - Jimma has done a great job acclimating to her new surroundings, and is enjoying walks and playtime in the training area! We have observed some aggressive reactions towards other dogs in their crates, as well as some resource guarding behaviors, and are working to correct those.
  • 8/24/21 - Jimma is doing great on her walks! She is not pulling on the leash, and hasn't shown any reactivity. She also had a breakthrough today - a successful introduction with trainer dog Drogo! Jimma gained the confidence to approach him herself, and engage him in interaction. We are so proud of her!
  • 8/27/21 - Jimma is working on her socialization skills, continuing to interact with Drogo off leash. She is still a bit unsure, but is doing a great job learning to read social cues. We will continue these interactions in order to build her confidence. We have also observed some issues with recall (not coming when called, resisting the leash), and are working to correct those.
  • 9/2/21 - Jimma is continuing to expand her socialization skills with Drogo, and also new people! She had a successful introduction with a new individual, and did great with managing her reactions. Her recall has greatly improved, and she is no longer resisting when we call her to come in. She has been having a ball playing obedience games!

  • 3/6/22 - Jimma has settled right in with us, and has been a model of calm crate behavior for the other pups! We have been working on her leash walking skills, and have observed her reactivity towards other dogs and people. We found that moving her to the more corrective, single-ring setting on the Herm Sprenger prong collar is helpful when she is reacting, and also reduces the amount of corrections needed. Going forward, we will work with her on intercepting these reaction through verbal and collar corrections. Jimma also had a wonderful time playing and cuddling with us during downtime in the training area, and she loves soaking up the sun! We're so glad you're part of the Pack, Jimma!
