Pawsitive Notes - Tracking Rocco and Frankie's Milestones

Got a Question?
  • ​10/26 - Rocco and Frankie are settling into the new environment and calming down. They are doing well in the new space, both the office and dog run. Mark just got a new assistant to help out and the pups are all getting to meet and bond with him today as well.
  • 11/2 - Rocco and Frankie are doing great! Stubborn as heck, but doing well. Rocco is really hard headed (typical for the breed) but man is he a sweetie! Rocco has been pulling really hard on leash, and he gets quite excited and stimulated, at which time his listening ability diminishes and he isn't as interested in following commands. He is responding normally for his breed and age (burgeoning teenager). I have worked with lots of Bull Terriers, and while he is one of the sweetest, he is showing the breed's tendency for stubbornness. He is doing well, and having a good time. We worked on basic obedience training and although he had a hard time focusing he still sat and stayed when told. Frankie had a hard time focusing but she will sit when told. We worked on teaching her to stay and focus.
  • 11/3 - Frankie learned how to stay and come when called. She still has a hard time focusing but overall she showed a lot of progress. Rocco follows directions and is engaged when working with him. He listened well and sat and stayed without problems. 
  • 11/6 - Rocco and Frankie are doing well. We're working on attention span improving and being more focused with manners and listening. They had a good day working obedience.
  • 11/10 - Good walks today with both Rocco and Frankie. We saw lots of dogs and people and did well. Frankie really did a good job. Rocco was better, but still got a bit excited and pulled more when passing dogs. Still much better.
  • 11/11 - Rocco and Frankie continue to make improvements on their obedience work! Rocco did less pulling than usual today. He paid little attention to people and other dogs on his walk. Frankie listened to corrections and pulled less. She also paid little attention to other people and dogs on her walk. 
  • 11/17 - Brother and sister got out for a lovely last Fall stroll through the neighborhood. They did very well. Frankie was very into focusing on the walk, and Rocco was really good as well.
  • 10/18/22 - Rocco and Frankie rocking and rolling! 
  • 10/26/22 - Rocco & Frankie chilling after a big romp and spin session!
  • 11/4/22: Had to get creative today with some hide and seek the ball games with Rocco! Trying to work on his energy and mental stimulation. Also did some impulse control work with the hose. It. Is. Really. Hard.
