Week 2 Mochi and Matcha!

Week 2 with Mochi and Matcha went awesome! We worked on some more of our loose leash walking around the neighbourhood along with their auto downs. They were both so good this week, they saw cars, bikes, scooters, squirrels, birds, cats, other dogs and people and were so calm. Didn’t growl or pull at anything or anyone… sometimes they couldn’t even be bothered to look. We were even able to stop and talk to the neighbours (which we were never able to do before) and they got some love from lots new of people this week as well.

Matcha did great with her auto downs, places and unders! Mochi was a tad more stubborn when it came to his auto downs but we eventually got it down (haha). He did way better with place this week, however we struggled a bit with his unders.

This week we also took them on a walk together and it went so well! They were both walking on my side, no pulling, just a nice relaxing walk. We’re struggling a little bit with auto downs when walking them at the same time but it’s still a work in progress. It’s also a little hard to walk them at the same time with different people (ie. if I’m walking Matcha and someone else walks Mochi). They don’t pull, however they clearly want to be near each other. (Mochi will look back at Matcha as he walks; turning his head, doing a spin like he wants to go backwards but will continue forward. This behaviour only happens if he realizes she is too far and vise versa. This also applies if a family member is a little too far) But over all it’s still going way better then we could hope

Super excited to see how Week 3 is going to look!
