Pawsitive Notes - Tracking Reuben's Milestones

Got a Question?
  • ​8/27/21 - Reuben has settled right in to his new surroundings, and has acclimated very well. Today he made two new dog friends: Drogo and Cookie! He did a wonderful job responding to social cues, and had a great time playing with them in the training area. We will continue with these interactions to increase his confidence in the coming days.
  • 9/2/21 - Reuben is making progress by leaps and bounds! He is doing great on his training walks, responding very well to corrections, and his reactivity is reducing every day. He is coming a long way with his social skills as well, and is having a great time running and playing with the Pack! We are continuing to reinforce "Hug," and will begin his recall training in the coming days.
  • 9/6/21 - Reuben has graduated to an even bigger Pack! He is continuing to build his social skills, and is well on his way to being a balanced packmate! He is continuing to do a fantastic job on leash, showing no reactions on his last walk. We are working on reinforcing impulse control (having him sit and wait with the Pack for his turn to get a treat), and have begun on-leash recall drills. Reuben is working very hard on all of his new skills!
  • 9/8/21 - Reuben is working hard on his off-leash recall skills! We have uploaded a video of him performing recall, for continued practice at home.
  • 9/17/21 - Reuben continues to expand his social, leash walking and obedience skills, and is doing an amazing job on all of them! He loves to go out with the Pack everyday, and we have attached a video of him engaging in a rousing game of chase with his packmates. His recall  and obedience skills are becoming more advanced, with him now holding a "stay" while the trainers disappear around a corner, and also performing the recall from around the corner, obeying the "Here" command with sound only, and without the trainer in sight. He is doing wonderfully on leash, and we are not seeing any reactivity.
  • 9/18/21 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY REUBEN! He got a very special treat today, and ran around with it to celebrate, before settling down to enjoy.
