Blink and you miss him! Rocket Ozzy blasting by Frances 🚀🚀🚀
Darla and Clara get the zoomies!
Sunny loves finding new treasures in the toy box!
I couldn't possibly move and disturb darling Sunny. I guess that means my errands will wait until tomorrow! 😂
The snow has melted but we took advantage of it while it was here!
It was too busy to video more than a few seconds, but Maisy is making lots of progress on her outings with her confidence, polite greetings, polite "waits" when we're not doing greetings, and general leash skills.
Rainy day zoomies with Riley, Cookie, Niki, Rayder, Elio and Maisy!
Zoomies with Maisy and Bondi
Beginning leash walking with Maisy. In order to build desirable habits, we start in familiar, low distraction environments (initially in my house, and this session is on my front driveway), and deliver frequest treats and happy feedback. We'll gradually raise the level of difficulty, and build in lots of opportunities to sniff once she knows how to move with me on leash. I love how happy she is to learn.
Mostly I'm posting this because happy Maisy is so cute, but this short clip also shows many of the building blocks we're creating for desirable behaviors: enthusiastic recall, sitting instead of jumping, duration of hanging out with us after coming when called, the ability to switch gears without frustration when treats temporarily stop, and moving with us when invited
How many of those can you spot?
