I just wanted to give you an update on Teddy's progress. We have
gotten amazing results so far. Your techniques for getting him to walk
work for us every time and his enthusiasm when outside overall has
improved greatly. We ended up following your suggestion when we went
out of town last weekend and brought him up to Bryan's parents place
to stay while we were gone. It worked out better then we could have
ever imagined. He got to hang out with another dog, 2 cats, and a
family of people who fell in love with him instantly. In bringing him
back he has jumped very quickly back into the rituals we started
before he left. Playing the food games, sleeping in his crate away
from us etc. We have a little bit of regression in him barking when we
leave but im sure it will take no time at all for him to get used to
it again.
Overall i have noticed a lot more independence from him. He sleeps and
plays in his crate without us even having to coax him in there and he
will lay out on the porch by himself when he feels like going out
there. Which is a huge improvement for him. He is also not following
me around the house like he used to. He will only even get up from
what he is doing if he sees me leaving the room and even then its not
an immediate response.
Thanks again so much for the techniques you gave us. They continue to
help us every day!
Talk to you soon,
Ali
