Pawsitive Notes - Tracking Oso's Milestones

Got a Question?
  • ​5/18 - Oso is nervously adjusting to the new environment, but is doing well. Today I introduced him to more of our current pack and he did very well.
  • 5/20 - Oso had an excellent walk today. He has a lovely heel and is eager to please, checking in often to make sure he is doing well. He did get a little overly excited at times passing dogs, so we will work on that with his on leash walking. Nothing aggressive, just overly eager to engage. We passed many trucks today and he did very well. He was nervous, but took it in stride and got better with every passing truck, receiving much praise as we went along.
  • 5/21 - Oso is out in the full pack and having a blast trying to play with everyone! 
  • 5/26 - Oso has really blossomed in interactions and play. He is also doing well with the loud trucks. When out in the run, he completely ignores the loud sounds now, where he used to cower when they drove by. Out on walks, he is still a bit nervous when they go by right next to him, but he is trusting of the human being in control of the situation. His heel has really developed well. The beginning of the walks takes a few gentle reminders, but as he settles into the walk, he does a great job staying in stride. He hasn't shown any issue with taking things away from him. He does well with a stern "Leave-It" and is eager to please. Such a love.
  • 5/29 - Oso walked to lunch with us today in downtown St. Johns, meeting lots of new people, passing dogs, trucks, buses, etc. He worked on sitting or lying down at the outdoor table and watching, listening, smelling the world go by. He did an excellent job and had a fantastic time!
