Daisy, Zeke and Mom returned to the park to walk this evening with great success! We did see two other dogs walking together, but we walked away from them, and everyone stayed calm watching in the distance. Zeke was completely freaked out by the skate park, so we had to change our path a bit, [...]

Day 7 of Protocol for Relaxation: Today’s Protocol is where things get a little more challenging, and Zeke did really, really well! (In fact, Zeke stays in his bed long after the session is over!) Mom had to do things like walk to the door, exit and count to 10, then return. Zeke jumped up [...]

Today, Zeke had his official graduation from Petsmart’s Basic Obedience class! He had to perform a sit, down, watch me and the trick of his choice (roll-over, beg and crawl) to complete his coursework. He earned a certificate, magnet and photo op with a graduation cap. As you can see, he enjoyed the ceremony… And [...]

Daisy is re-taking the intermediate obedience course as [...]

Zeke is learning quite a bit every day! In this week’s basic obedience class, he learned to walk nicely on a leash–which he does naturally when Daisy’s not around. He’s struggling with “down,” which is very common with small dogs. They have trouble distinguishing a “sit” from a “down” since they’re so close to the [...]

Today Zeke had his first session of basic obedience training. He already had mastered the first two lessons: sit and watch me. He did very well staying focused and calm during class too. (A nice break compared to the first classes Daisy and I took together!) Zeke has seven more weeks of class until he [...]
