So proud!
Last night on our walk, a total of 4 loose dogs came running up to us at different times. Odin just looked at them, wagged his tail, and kept walking. My husband was ready to take care of the loose dogs, but luckily they all returned to their owners when Odin showed no interest. His training has been going great so far, but this was the first time I actually got to see how he'd do with strange dogs sprinting up to him. It's not like that's something I want to test ever, but I'm really proud that he minded his manners.

Re: So proud!
Thanks for the kind words. We switched to training earlier in the day and I really think it's helping. I was training him at night and then he'd go to sleep an hour or so later. Now he trains in the morning, takes a nap, and free exercises in the afternoon. He seems to be actually getting exhausted and he's not reactive when he's tired.
We've been trying to go to Petsmart for a half hour everyday when they open. They have adoption cats in cages in the corner and I've slowly been working Odin towards them, clicking when he watches me instead of them and moving closer when he starts to ignore them.

- Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.
Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!
I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences. - Location: Victoria BC

Re: So proud!
That's a good plan. It's actually a good thing for them to rest after a training session, which gives new information time to be processed and go into long term memory.LyonsFamily wrote: We switched to training earlier in the day and I really think it's helping.

You're doing a great job with the counter-conditioning and desensitization with the cats at PM...go team!

Re: So proud!
I think you might have the right audience here to truly appreciate this.
Last night I was so happy that I was able to walk by another leashed dog with Radar (Still at a distance) without an all out frenzy.

- Tell us about yourself: Artist, Mother, Equestrienne, Educator, Homesteader wannabe, dog-lover. Not counting my current DS, I have had 2 GSDs and 3 rescued mixed-breeds. All of these dogs were rescues, except for my childhood GSD, who was a gift from my parents when I was 7, and my current DS who I bartered artwork for from the breeder. Maiyou, one of my current dogs, is a Pitbull/New Guinea Singing Dog of 13 years old. Still very active and "Young" in nature. I now also have a DS named Mokume, (pronounced "Moh-koo-meh") or "Moko" for short. Newest member of our pack is Freyja, a random mixed hound I rescued during a horseback trip in the middle of a state forest.

Re: So proud!
Jumping in late, here, I haven't been able to post much, lately being on the run all day every day, but read posts and mentally flagged a few I want to catch up on commenting on here and there when I get a moment... this was one of them, WOOOO-HOOO!!! Congrats Odin and congrats, you, for all your hard work and dedication!
