Ginger and I spent the day getting to know each other. She was really nervous after I took her out of the kennel and seemed a bit overwhelmedĀ when we got to my home. I let her explore the backyard and she really started to come out of her shell. We had our first lesson today and worked on her 'heel' since she does pull heavily on leash. We also introduced Ginger to the e-collar and she was able to get the hang of it quickly. Ginger settled nicelyĀ in her kennel and ate all of her dinner. She has a couple treats before bed. Overall, she did great on her first day!

Ginger and I spent some time working on her āheelā today. She tends to still pull heavily on leash and is finding it hard to turn with me. She will at times stop and refuse to move as we turn until I lead her with the leash in my direction. There was quite a bit of people in my neighborhood today so Ginger was finding it really hard to āheelā and stay focused. We also worked on her ācome to sitā command and she is picking that command up quickly. We are working on her sit command since she will refuse to sit at times unless I ask her multiple times. Overall, Ginger is being a good girl and is being amazing in the kennel.Ā

Ginger and I worked on her āheelā and ācome to sitā at Cheviot Hills Park where she was able to work around distractions. There were a lot of dogs there so she was a bit overwhelmed in the beginning but was able to get the hang of everything. Ginger did bark at a couple of neighborhood cats today and tried to pull towards them. Ginger also has an upset tummy so she has runny stool. I went ahead and added pumpkin purĆ©e to help sooth her tummy. She also woke up with really gunky eyes this morning. She didnāt have this yesterday so I made sure to clean her eyes today. Overall, Ginger is being a sweet girl.Ā

She is struggling a bit with her down but was getting the hang of it by the end of our session. Ginger Ā is struggling with the place command and is still struggling to jump in my car. Once we get up to a āplaceā she plants herself on the ground and will refuse to move. Ginger ate all of her breakfast and dinner and had pumpkin purĆ©e with her meals. Overall, she is being a hood girl!Ā

Ginger and I went to Home Depot where we worked on all of her commands. She is doing a lot better with her down and her place but needs work on her durations. She did have a tough time working with the leash dragging since she would take any opportunity she could to run off. She was a little overwhelmed at Home Depot so we spent time working on her leash dragging heel at home. She did try to get away from me again in front of my home a handful of times. When ginger knows she has an opportunity she will take it. We worked really hard on the positioning of her come to sit today and was able to get it by the end of our session. She is also doing a lot better with her down. I went ahead and added a bit of her canned food today since she seemed to be doing a lot better with her tummy. Iām adding a small amount to her kibble.Ā

Ginger and I went to Loweās to work on all of her commands around distractions. She did great with the people and shopping carts but still did try to wander off. Ginger does all of her commands really well and stayed by me the whole time we heeled around the store. I did notice she decided to run off when she feels overwhelmed or sees something she is more interested in. Weāre still working on her durations but she was able to hold it longer than 2 minutes today! Overall, she is such a good girl. She was in a really playful mood today so she wanted to play while we were at Loweās!Ā

Ginger and I went to Citadel Outlets today where she did such a great job. She struggles going off leash Ā since at times she can be a bit unpredictable when it comes to her wandering off. We instead went to Petsmart to work on all of her commands with a very loose leash. It seems she only wanders off or will get up from her commands when she feels uncomfortable or there are too many people. She did great and was able to hold all of her commands including her down. Ginger enjoyed some play time before bed!Ā
