Pawsitive Notes - Tracking Zoey's Milestones

Got a Question?
  • ​9/25/21 - Zoey is settling in to her new surroundings, and already warming up to us. She is very reactive towards being in a shared area with other dogs, so we are working with her on the "quiet" command. She got out for her first training walk, and did a great job! We did see some reactivity to other dogs and to vehicles while on leash, and are working to correct this behavior.
  • 10/2/21 - Zoey crossed a major milestone, having a successful introduction and play session with Drogo! She was very responsive to social cues, and had a great time making a new friend! She is still very reactive to the other dogs in their crates, and we are working to correct this.
  • 10/8/21 - We have now observed Zoey's resource guarding behavior, when she attempted to bite trainer Mark while she was eating her food in her crate. We are working to correct this behavior. She is beginning to lessen her reactions to the other dogs in their crates, which is good progress!
  • 10/14/21 - Zoey continues to improve her leash walking skills, and her reactivity has almost completely disappeared - even her reactions to cars! She is extremely responsive to correction, and is now responding to verbal corrections on leash, no longer needing corrections with the training collar.
  • 10/20/21 - Zoey is building her social confidence, and we are working on her obedience skills, especially recall. She is still showing some resource guarding tendencies towards other dogs in their crates, and towards humans, when she is eating. These behaviors are significantly lessened, and she is responding to verbal corrections when they occur. We are continuing to reinforce the "quiet" command when she is demand-barking in her crate.
  • 10/24/21 - Zoey had a great time with the drive test for Working Dogs for Conservation! She did an incredible job! Link to video will be sent via email.
