Here sh is at a school event I count lift the camera up cause of privacy cause there under age but you can see she in a sit begin really good she only did one sniff but was immediately corrected all in all she was a lady

Sandy is working on her heel and is still figuring out left turns. She has been working on her down also. She is also doing the spot course. As you can see, she was very exited and bouncy this morning! Hope you all had a great Christmas!

We did a “kids” picture for our cards introducing Saffy. So it seemed like a good tome to work on Saffy’s desense and down/stay while being in the holiday spirit. Pippa briefly joined the photo shoot sporting her Santa Paws Dress. I had to make a tiny compilation video of them together. I was so proud of them for staying together for me to get a photo for Christmas cards! Treats were definitely involved🤣

Hi this is Atlas! I took my mom‘s phone and typed this! I’m making my Christmas list and want to know what my friends’ favorite interactive toys are so that I can ask for them from Santa Paws! Have you tried a Kong or a snufflemat? What about a treat despenser? I might want all of those if my mom will get them for me but she said I had to ask my friends first! Thanks, Atlas ❤️🐕‍🦺🎅🏼

Long story here . . . We learned from watching @Amanda Taulborg to start early with cone desensitization before spay/neuter surgeries. Saffy is scheduled for late Jan so we pulled out some old cone to start working on it. Well we had to jump right in instead. She was running and playing and some how tore up her wrist (carpal?) pad. We got some vet wrap and vet spray and got it wrapped up. Of course she wouldn’t leave that alone so . . . Cone emersion time.🫣. We did some really quick training with sniffing it first, moving to very loosely wrapping it around with treat reward, wrapping a little tighter and then just having to secure it. She was having a hard with her perception and wanting to move around. So this is where the video starts . . . It was meal time and she didn’t want to try to eat out of her bowl either so we did some spot work to help with space awareness , we did some off camera place work with sniffing. After that she showed interest in her bowl, so she got the rest of her food in her bowl!🙂. A little later she got a drink on her own.🤩🥳. One thing she wasn’t doing was laying down, but while typing this she figured that out. (Picture). Certainly not the ideal way to do cone desensitization but she is doing pretty well. Thank you Amanda for ALL of the training and videos that we were able to apply in this very fast paced ‘emergency’ situation!!!!!!! We were so much better prepared to help her adjust vs in the past just having to throw it on and trying to figure what to do to help them. Past experiences and your training helped us be chill about it, which as we have been discussing in the fear posts, helped her. Thank you again!🙏🏻🙏🏻
