It's been a gloomy rainy day and Stewie is NOT a fan of the rain. So I gave the dogs lick mats to keep them busy for a bit!

I usually spread a mix of any of the following ingredients on them:
Pumpkin puree (I always put this on a lick mat)
Tuna
Salmon
Peanut butter
Smushed banana
Yogurt
Kibble

And then I put them in the freezer.

Pro tip: go on FB marketplace, Kijiji, or thrift stores to find lick mats! I found a bunch on Marketplace for 5$ each!

Happy boy.

His training and decompression is going so much better than I expected or could have dreamed. It's like he knows he's home so he's completely relaxed and chill.

Before going to Vancouver, I taught him "touch", "leave it", to check in during walks and recall. He learned all that in two weeks and the two dog walkers I hired to help my parents care for him did an amazing job at keeping it up.

Now, I'm working on physical manipulations to eventually start cooperative care training with a trainer.

Such a good boy
I have no idea how he ended up in a shelter. He's so easy and, I mean, look at that dumb face!

First sleepover for Stewie and it's going really well!
He's such a good boy. Very different from Boss. I don't think he'll be a helper dog or that he'll assist in training like Boss did, but he's more interested in dogs than Boss was.

While in Vancouver, I was taking care of two highly reactive dogs. One of whom would be considered a dangerous dog in Montreal (rightly so).
I walked them separately, had the family buy martingale collars for me to use with their leashes and worked very hard on their reactivity while I was there.
The difference was drastic. I honestly didn't expect there to be THAT big a difference in a relatively short time, but this just goes to show how much of a role consistency plays in training!
I took lots of videos (to share with the family), and after seeing how well they did, I'll be sharing their progress and what I did with them over the next few weeks!
