Catching up slowly...
Week 1 (3/29)
This is a week where very little work will be done. This is the time where this new member of the house has to learn first and foremost to trust that the people here are worthy of trust and respect.
This is one sweet dog to humans. This is a major plus for her in her journey to find a home.
Oh my the toe nails on this girl…
Off she went to Paws. They could do three nails, they could not keep her down. I have always loved Paws. I was surprised that professionals could not handle this. Back to the SPCA vet she went. They took care of this without issue, I am guessing it is because she was familiar with the person from the SPCA and the vet.
The rest of week one was just walking on the leash, not training anything but leash manners, not forcing anything. Nothing but cookies and praise. She did nothing that went beyond a point that needed rules or boundaries lesson. The volunteers at the SPCA did a nice job at walking her on a leash, so all of the basics are there, that was a great help.
We have taken multiple trips to town square in the cart. The first time my wife drove, I had the dog on the floor between my legs with my hands on her collar. The son of a gun tried to hop out once or twice; I had her, I smiled and said nothing…
We have a cat, they have not met, I will not let that occur based on the dog’s posture.
