Pawsitive Notes - Tracking Twig and Freddy's Milestones

Got a Question?
  • ​11/8 - Twig and Freddy are settling in and Twig has begun eating. Freddy has displayed quite a bit of resource guarding and aggression towards my dogs when they approach his crate. Twig and Freddy have shown their aggression towards each other since the first night. We have our work cut out. 
  • 11/16 - Twig and Freddy are doing well. They've stopped a lot of aggression towards one another in their crates. They still have small outbursts but not nearly as violent as before. Both still react very negatively towards my dogs, so we are a ways away from being safe with them. It is slow progress, but it is progress nonetheless. They are doing fine here and have largely adjusted.
  • 11/19 - BIG step in the proper direction! After stopping a couple of attempts to be unpleasant and aggressive, both Twig and Freddy settled down and went on their first walk together! They were also listened well when we passed other dogs that were not behaving well, and didn't act out.
  • 12/2 - Freddy is doing really well on his walks, ignoring other dogs and following directions. Twig is doing quite well too, though we are still working on reactivity.
  • 12/4 - Twig and Freddy had their best walk to date! They were able to walk VERY closely to one another, and after a little reminder of how they ought to behave, they fell right into a groove and let their guards down. 
  • 12/9 - Freddy had to go home early as he got sick. Twig stayed and extended her stay an extra week to get some additional pack work done.
  • 12/12 - Twig has been getting out with Rodeo and Drogo in the run, with muzzle, to work on her socialization in a safe way. There have been some times when she's been overstimulated in her interactions and pushes her response a bit far, receiving some corrections, but she shows progress as well.
  • 12/16 - Freddy and Marisa came to work with Twig today!
