She did so well on her snouting yesterday!
At one point there where bins taking up half the pavement. My mother went first I waited around the corner of the bins, until she was past them. Immediately after she was past a mobility scooter moved into the space, it took up all the pavement that...
I wish she had! The plant she was tugging on in the end was one I tried to pull up and gave up on 🤣 which is why she was trying! She pulled the leaves of first 😆
With had some massive progress with dogs! We where actually able to be quite close (for Pepsi) to another dog, they even walked past us and she didn't react! We saw more dogs that she did well with, until they started barking then it got too much for her
And somebody asked if she was an...
She also went to the beach recently which I though was her first time but my brother remembers taking her before, so I don't know anymore
Didn't get any pictures because it was cold, I did get a video which I will try to post!
She did not inherit an intelligent GSD expression :lau
I don't know if I have mentioned it before but her herding instinct has come through now instead of her shark on 😆. She likes being near the sheep and sniffing them. If they run she will try to run in front of them to stop them but as soon as they stop running she stops too
Her reactivity is...
She is finally starting to understand fetch! She has learnt the fun game of dump the toy on me when I am sitting on the couch and then a throw it. Which is turning into fetch when outside too
Fanta has taught her the go-find-the-toy-you-just-lost cue, which has been very helpful because it's...
My mother got the dogs a children's floor piano mat, which Peps had a lot of fun screaming at :lau I tried to get her to understand how it worked but she was too busy screaming. It even barked back at her which increased the screaming 😆
We finally found harnesses that fit her! I don't have...
Long overdue update! Got a but burnt out and frustrated with dog training but I think I am mostly over that now!
Before I confuse people one of Pepsi's nicknames is Snout. Outing+ Snout = Snouting, Snouting can also mean when she sticks her ears back and starts wiggling or jabbing her nose at...
Turns out it is my eyesight that's making some dog training difficult and frustrating! Specially when its a large reactive dog I am handling 😅
I can't put guide dog in training on her because most guide dogs in training are trained by people who don't need them :hmm
Training is not going great 🙁 she gets overstimulated/excited/frustrated extremely quickly when out. So for the moment she won't be doing public access 🥲 until maturity and training kicks in!
I love these breeds and hate them :lau Fanta has adult dog brain now, its so nice!
The dogs got new...
We have been going frequently to garden centres and we are making progress slowly! She is also starting to not mind the car! :wee
some of her siblings also seem to have excitement dog reactivity problems 😅
training plan is
-work more on heel. I originally didn’t want to because it will make...
we finally went back to puppy classes for the first time! It went well, we stood far away from the class 😅. There was a new person there who apparently does something with security dogs, I don’t know if she handles or trains them. My mother of course asked her for advice because thats what my...
thank you!
That’s actually not true! Dogs have no concept of ownership or leadership
it does mean the dog wants to spend time with you though! Which I care about a lot more 😅
