Dropped Titus off at Arsenal (or as we call it "boarding school") this morning. I was worried about how Titus would react to this change so quickly after being adopted, but he jumped at the chance to follow @Jessica Rutschke into the unknown. I even tried to kiss him goodbye, and he was like "stop it mom, you're embarrassing me".

Of course when Ozzy is walking to heel, he always stops and auto downs when I stop. But I notice since being trained that he also stops and waits for me when I have him in a "free" during our walks. No more pulling ahead when I stop. All on his own, he stops and waits for me to walk again. And absolutely no stimming required. Such a polite boy! Video attached.

Pepper is starting to lunge at people/ animals again. We have tried to stim her at a lower level and also just turning it up to a high setting but we haven’t seen improvement. Is there a way to fix this?

Our last two dogs never cared or reacted to thunder or fireworks so we are dealing with something new. Seeing real terror in our Danny Boy with the stormy weather. Full body shakes, eyes wide and whining that continue way past the last thunder clap heard. Would love your suggestions how best to support him through this? Looks like my LGD doesn't like any adverse elements afterall 🤔

Titus starts board & train on Monday. Can't wait to see his progress. Dog reactivity is his main problem after being attacked last year. Otherwise he is pretty chill and loves napping.
