Pawsitive Notes - Tracking Roscoe and Axel's Milestones

Got a Question?
  • ​2/17/22 - Roscoe is settling in to his new surroundings, and has already warmed up to us. After a couple of days of trust-building and conditioning with the training collar, he went out on his first couple of walks with Morgan, and did incredible! He experienced some initial reactivity to triggers, but was easily corrected with the prong collar, and de-escalated without a full-scale reaction and without redirecting. Excellent job, Roscoe!
  • 2/24/22 - Roscoe continues to improve on his leash-walking skills. He is still showing some leash reactivity, but is very responsive to correction, and is not showing any signs of redirection on the prong collar. This is very promising progress!
  • 3/2/22 - We are working with Roscoe on refining his obedience skills through play, both to reinforce his skills and to build his confidence. He loves the Jolly Ball! We are seeing him display reactivity to new people, as well as to new dogs, and we are working to correct those behaviors as they surface. 
  • 3/5/22 - Roscoe's leash walking skills continue to improve. He was approached by some reactive dogs and did a great job controlling his reaction and staying in a heel! He is not showing any signs of escalation with prong collar corrections even in that kind of highly stressful event. Excellent progress, Roscoe!
  • 3/8/22 - Roscoe is working on his socialization skills with trainer dog Drogo! He was a bit unsure at first, and this manifested as some reactivity, but he quickly settled in and engaged Drogo in play! Roscoe can be a little assertive in his play style, but is very responsive to correction. With continued exposure, we expect he will improve on reading social cues. Great job making a new friend, Roscoe!
  • 3/15/22 - Roscoe continues to improve on his socialization. He loves going out with Drogo to play every day, and is showing signs of readiness to join the Pack! We are still seeing reactivity to humans while in his crate, but he is very responsive to the "quiet" command, and much quicker to allow them to approach and say hello.
