Days 8, 9 and 10

Freya is beginning to settle into our daily routines. More of the same – careful management and calm. Only one stair gate between the dogs now and lots of sniffing.

We keep everything C A L M. Over-stimulation and over excitement can easily spill into snaps and frustrations.

Brief off lead meetings with Jack outside – lots of consensual sniffing of “bits”. Spudsy and Freya are regularly going out for toilets together now and pretty much ignore each other apart from the odd sniff.

It is essential to continue to take things slowly, even though all the signs are good. Much better to take longer than needed than rush and end up with grumbles.

Introductions to another female dog and a trip to a huge park for a walk. Freya clearly loves the water!  

I posted her interactions with Scottie the other day.

Freya’s lead walking is coming along nicely. We are using a shorter lead and getting some lovely loose lead work. She is beginning to sniff much more on her walks and has better body language as she becomes used to them.

Freya has already perfected the cute look!

Day 11 tomorrow.
