After 6 weeks of FUN boarding at RKDT Mr Romeo went back home to his family today! Romeo hold the record for longest boarding dog (not counting training) Fortunately he loved every minute of it because he loves running and playing with his friends! I know he’s thrilled to see his family and get caught up on some cuddle time with them! It’ll just take me a few “WHERE IS ROMEO” heart attacks to remember he’s back with his people 🥹💜

Mac Update!
🐾
As you can see he’s fresh out the bath in this photo. Poor guy has had been having diarrhea and has had a few accidents in his kennel. So he has needed a few baths. The benefit of this is it’s showing me that he really has gotten much more comfortable with me. He never growls or acts rude during his bath and he enjoys me cuddling him in the towel after a bath!
🐾
Here’s what we’ve got going for us so far-
✅No more growling at me
✅Comfortable with me putting leash on and off
✅Seems to enjoy affection from me most the time
✅Will eat food out of bowl in kennel
✅Calm and polite during bath
🐾
Here’s where we run into issues
❌He will not eat for me, not from my hand, not off the floor, not off the place cot. He has zero interest in ANY food when it comes to training or hand feeding. Without food as a motivator (and he obviously won’t work for toys or anything like that) I’m not able to do any training with him. I do not want to use pressure as a motivator for him- so until he eats for me we can’t start the actual training.
🐾
Now that he is comfortable with me I hope he will eat for me soon. He is going home tonight until Sunday because I will be out of town (and I can’t leave him with Lizzy) so his parents will have homework for him so we hopefully don’t get too far off track when he comes back on Sunday. I do have some ideas as to how I can get him comfortable eating for me so I’ll try those on Sunday when he is back and will share that progress with you when the time comes!
🐾
Overall, it’s good that he is starting to trust me. That is step one. We just continue to live at his pace and we’ll get there when we get there!

Lucy was back for Puppy Program today!
🐾
Her mom had to has done a great job with her homework. One of their biggest goals was threshold manners so they put in a lot of work doing door drills and Lucy has been rocking it!
🐾
Today we talked about couch manners - teaching her not to jump on the couch which then we will later make done jump on the couch unless invited. We also talked about leash manners and learned some name games! Looking forward to seeing them again next week!

Remember Toby? This cutie did Puppy Program with me back in April! Now he’s here for his 3 week Board & Train!
🐾
Toby is a super laid back guy and doesn’t have any behavioral issues. He’s just a sweet guy who gets to learn his obedience commands! Toby is a great example of “Not every dog NEEDS training but every dog DESERVES training!” Because while he is great and doesn’t have any issues, training will open the doors for so many cool and exciting things for him as he grows. Training can also prevent behavioral issues before they start!

Mac update!
🐾
The past few days we have seen significantly less growling which is a big win! He is comfortable enough for me to put his sleep leash on and off without using the double leash method. He was comfortable enough to take some food out of my hand but was nervous when I tried to do some food luring with him.
🐾
As we continue to build our relationship we’ll get to do more and more training. The more training we do the more confidence we build! From there we will be able to teach him better coping methods when he does get nervous. I’m enjoying seeing him come out of his shell and I can’t wait to see how he continues to progress!

Meet Mac!
🐾
This handsome ball of fluff was dropped off last night for his Four week Board & Train! If you watched the video I posted last night you already know a little bit about him- he was set to start training on the 21st but after getting in a fight with the other dog in the house and snapping at family members we needed to move up his start date.
🐾
Mac and his brother Henry (starting training on the 21st) were both adopted/rescued about a month ago from a breeder who was no longer able to care for them. They are both very sweet but lack the socialization they need to be the best version of themselves. Mac is very sweet and he already loves his new mom and dad so much, but as a little time has passed in his new home he’s beginning to have some pretty serious behavioral issues.
🐾
My elevation so far is that he fear reactive/aggressive. So while he is here he will learn his obedience commands and we will use these commands to help build his confidence. We will also work on patterning better/safer options for him when he is feeling nervous. For example, moving away from a situation instead of growing/snapping. I’m really excited to with with him and help him become the best version of himself
