Freedom Day

Waffle resting her head on Casey

We got permission for Casey to be out and about one day early so she could attend a multi-club puppy meeting with our CFR today at the Career and Technology Center. It was so nice to be able to take booth girls out. Lindsey said that she needed to have a bath first to help her not smell so interesting to any intact males. Casey got to meet her brother Crosby after the meeting. As we were chatting with his raisers we found out that Crosby is an ear sucker just like Casey. Isn’t that funny. We talked to Barb about Waffles fear reactions and got permission to start her on food protocol. I’m so glad, I think this will help her immensely.

Obedience Class

For the last couple of months Banta has been going on Wednesday nights to an intermediate obedience class put on by the Great Salt Lake Dog Training Club. She isn’t there because she needs more work on her obedience but to work on her dog distractions. Our CFR gave us permission to put her in this class and it has worked out great. It has been the perfect opportunity for her to be around other dogs (besides other puppies in training) in a controlled situation. More than any other thing we have done, using the food protocol during this class has helped her make huge strides in managing her dog distractions.
