Rewiring family pathways
Review week 27, plan week 28 Well. This has been interesting. Unfortunately somewhat in the 'May you live in interesting times'-curse definition. His mummy-diet is affecting stuff all over the board. Training becomes a lot more complicated - since I have to both manage, tutor, motivate and instruct family members, the dog has to learn …
Fenris is on a diet – a mummy-diet!
Folks and other Issues on Friday, week 27 Resource guarding - Yikes! We are setting Fenris on a 'mummy-diet'!

Folks and issues Friday week 25 – where we do Zen and Slaying
Reactivity and People - Walked with my friend again this Monday. Greeted her as she came out the door, with a sniff-and-a-wag. No launching, just pleasantly working on his loose leash walking. See, I can be nice! We did see a tractor - I took him 6 m off the road and stepped on the …

Journal mid week 25 – where a non-stride is a long stride.
Grooming and handling: Harness: Hand-target to get his head in. Managed all the way up to his ears. He even chose to stay in position until the treat came (liver cake), instead of 'in for target, retreat, in for reward'. An intermediate step I hadn't even considered, but it lines up with what I've read …
