Pawsitive Notes - Tracking Mose's Milestones

Got a Question?
  • ​7/27 - Mose is pretty nervous in the new space, but is trusting both Mark and Jen and calmly following them in the run and in/out of the office. He's pretty much ignored all of the other dogs in the office thus far.
  • 7/28 - Mose is still pretty nervous and hasn't gone to the bathroom much in the run or really eaten much, which is very normal, but he's staying calm and allowing the occasional pet from Mark and Jen. He'll figure out he's safe and loved soon!
  • 7/29 - Mose is warming up a bit and allowing more affection.
  • 7/31 - Mose is still very subdued and seems unsure, but he stays calm and allows us to give him affection more and more. He is also super great about following us in and out of the office and going right into his crate when asked.
  • 8/4 - Mose is growing in confidence! He got out into the larger pack today and did extremely well with 6 other dogs (Mark's two and 4 other Live-In Clients). He allowed sniffs, gave sniffs and mulled around the run with everyone. He didn't engage in any play, but it's still a fantastic step forward for him in being out with the other pups and practicing good social skills. He also spent a portion of the time leaning into Jen for love, pets and tons of affection!
  • 8/7 - Mose continues to do extremely well in the pack and in his affection for Jen. More impressively, another dog growled at him today, as it was being possessive over Jen, and Mose stayed calm, cool and collected as Jen corrected the other dog for the inappropriate behavior. Then, as they both came back to Jen a bit later, each got pets and love while sharing space.
  • 8/10 - Mose continues to do well in the pack. Today, another dog got a scolding from Jen for misbehaving, which made Mose a bit nervous. When they came inside, Mose ran over and curled up at Mark's feet and had to get some extra special Jen love to feel comfortable with her again. He's a very sensitive boy!
  • 8/12 - Mose was very serious about getting some quality pets from Jen today!
  • 8/14 - The pack has grown! Mose is doing an excellent job with the new pack members and managing himself with a pack full of activity. He is still nervous when another dog gets in trouble for something and will sit at the edge of the run until the issue is resolved. Then he comes in for pets and reassurance. Such a sweet boy!
  • 8/17 - We've been working Mose on walks, but haven't run into a bunch of other dogs with everyone staying out of the heat lately. We did pass a guy across the street today and Mose didn't even give notice to the dog. We'll continue to work this and hopefully have more encounters to see if he shows any leash reactivity since integrating with the pack.
  • 8/18 - Another excellent walk today! This time, we came across more people and dogs and Mose was fantastic. He shows a bit of excitement in seeing the other dogs, but listens very well to a preemptive "Leave-It" and stays calm. We are completely in love with this boy!
  • 8/21 - Mose continues to have excellent walks and socialization time with the pack. He's grown extremely fond of Mark and Jen as well, loving to walk in between their legs and cuddle up for pets!
