Baelor was a brave boy last week! ➡️➡️➡️➡️
In a culmination of 4 sessions of work, Baelor went from barking his head off at dogs(and people!) to watching them and only sometimes wanting to sprint towards them. He observed people but didn't go nuts on them. These very sweet littles, looking to be around 's age, came over to say hi while he was doing his best.
The little white p**f instigated it despite the mean mugging in the first photo. So many vutt sniffs. The little black and tan dude even led the "conversation" where Baelor did his best to self-handicap by "becoming small."
With Baelor demonstrating his restraint as well as pro-social behavior indicators, he was able to play chase with little Ollie. We ended our time trading sniffs with the cookies and cream elder dog, who wasn't a huge fan of Baelor so we called him away after initial greetings.
Catch the appeasement paw on many of the dogs in the photos! Baelor learned that watching the dogs quietly and taking things slow means he gets to play. 🥲
