Pawsitive Notes - Tracking Cider's Milestones

Got a Question?
  • ​4/12 - Cider is out with the full pack and having a blast playing with some of the more energetic pack members. He's starting to learn to pay attention to social cues from the other dogs, although it's a work in progress.
  • 4/15 - Cider is doing well in the pack and starting to listen and respond to "Gentle", as he can be a bit overbearing in his play. He is doing well responding to Sit, even with distractions, but definitely has a short attention span and quickly wants to get back into the mix! 
  • 4/17 - Cider is doing well practicing his basic obedience, but he definitely has spastic puppy level focus! You can tell that he knows the commands and what he is supposed to do, but he is easily distracted!
  • 4/19 - Cider continues to work socialization and obedience skills. He is still struggling with social cues a bit and will push dogs a bit too much in trying to engage them in play. He is struggling with "Leave-It" as trainers must step in to help him try and learn appropriate levels of play and engagement.
  • 4/22 - Cider is being more responsive to "Leave-It" but definitely still has work to do on that one, especially in higher value situations. He's still a bit much in everyone's business. He's just a playful pup, but is stubborn to pay attention to those cues and certain commands.
  • 4/23 - Cider worked some more socialization and obedience in the pack today and did well, especially once he worked off some of that crazy energy!
  • 4/24 - Cider did an amazing job today listening to gentle and leave-it! He had the opportunity to engage with a little dog in play today, who is learning to socialize and is scared of everything. Cider responded to the gentle and leave-it commands while engaging with Cleo and overall did a much better job paying attention to her cues as to when she was done trying to play. Great work!
