Pawsitive Notes - Tracking Porter's Milestones

Got a Question?
  • ​2/2/21 - So far so good with Porter. He is still a bit nervous, but he has gotten comfortable enough to start showing some reactivity to Mark's dogs. He is a bit finicky with his food, but that is getting better too. He sure is a cutie pie, and he has a bubbly personality.
  • 2/3/21 - Porter did great being off the leash inside the house and outside in the run today. He’s has no issues going in or out of his crate. 
  • 2/5/21 - Porter showed a lot of progress this week by following Rodeo out to the dog run without showing any aggression. He’s also been doing really good at ignoring other dogs on his walks recently.
  • 2/6/21 - BIG day for Porter! He was able to get out and play with our big Mastiff, and not lose control. He was happy after they went through the introduction process.
  • 2/10/21 - Porter's really starting to warm up around the other dogs and has even started to try to get Rodeo to play as well. He’s also begun to approach and be more comfortable around other Live-In Client dogs in their crates.
  • 2/12/21 - Porter has been going outside with Rodeo without any aggression issues. He is starting to show signs that he may be ready to be introduced to some additional pack members!
  • 2/16/21 - Porter's been showing a lot of improvement around the other dogs and has even made it out to the dog run with Luka! He is definitely happy to have someone to run around with. He’s also been doing great on his walks and hasn’t shown any signs of aggression towards other dogs or people. An issue we’re seeing with him is that he likes to bark at kids in the house but we’ve been seeing improvement there as well. 
  • 2/19/21 - Porter has a new best friend! Wesley, a 6 month old Doodle, joined the pack a couple of days ago and Porter is completely infatuated with him. He and Wesley love to run around the dog run together. Porter's behavior around the other dogs has improved a lot and his next step is getting out in the run with the large pack.
  • 2/23/21 - Porter has been doing amazingly well with the other dogs! He hasn’t been showing any aggression and he’s been having a great time playing with the pack. Wesley and Walter are his two new best friends and they all love chasing one another around the dog run.
