Pawsitive Notes - Tracking Zooey's Milestones

Got a Question?
  • ​9/21 - Zooey is a bit nervous, but is adjusting quickly to the space.
  • 9/24 - Zooey is already out with the full pack! She is tentative, but a huge step already. No issues in the pack, but she's still very unsure of the group.
  • 9/25 - Great walk today! She heeled well and sat at intersections on command.
  • 9/26 - Zooey is gaining confidence in the pack! No attempts to play yet, but no issued either.
  • 9/28 - Worked Sit/Down/Stay during walk today. Zooey did well with all! She did a bit of pulling at the beginning of the walk, but ended with a great heel.
  • 10/1 - A great day in the pack! Zooey attempted a bit of play! She got overwhelmed quickly, but a great start!
  • 10/2 - Great walk with Zooey's new puppy friend and playmate, Pearl! She even walked to another water dish and let Pearl have the one she was drinking from after the walk.
  • 10/3 - A little more pulling during her solo walk today. Guess she was showing off yesterday for Pearl! Lots of practice with "Heel/Sit/Stay and Down" today!
  • 10/5 - Zooey's longest round of play yet. She made it a solid 30 seconds (with a much bigger dog) before she got too overwhelmed. She's building confidence!
  • 10/6 - Walked with Pearl again today. Excellent heel but did lunge at a dog and squirrels today. Received correction. She is definitely comfortable now and is showing her stubbornness. She listened much better the 2nd half of the walk.
  • 10/8 - Excellent obedience and recall work today! Worked/practiced Sit/Stay, with increasing distance and Down/Stay. Great recall with treats and praise. (See video)!
  • 10/10 - Zooey got some good work in today! She lunged at a passing dog again and received a correction from Mark. She did very well the remainder of the walk, however.
  • 10/15 - Fantastic walk and obedience today! Zooey had minimal pulling and did exceedingly well with Sit/Down/Stay/Leave-It/Come and Let's Go!
  • 11/4 - Zooey is quickly out with the full pack and doing well!
  • 11/5 - Zooey had a great walk with fellow Live-In Client Amica. She did very well with heeling, as well as Sit/Stay. 
  • 11/6 - A full pack walk today, with fellow Live-in Clients Amica, Kona and Finn. Zooey was a model walker. Absolutely excellent!
  • 11/9 - Zooey is continuing to do well in the pack environment. She doesn't want to engage in play with the group, but has been handling their attempts to get her to play extremely well!
  • 11/12 - Zooey has made a new friend in Moses! She is attempting to engage him in play and doesn't run away from him like most of the other pups!
  • 11/13 - Zooey got even more into the idea of playing with Moses today! So cute! (See video).
