Success! In comes slowly...

So both Mike and I did a few more sessions with Dokter Dog today.  Mike had really good luck while I was still at work, was able to get him to sit with ears relaxed and mouth closed... then I came home... duhdudhduh....
Aparently Dok did great unless he heard me going about my buisiness in the front room, then Dok would do nothing for him.  I think distractions are very hard for him at the momment, and it think it is just going to take time.
I did have some luck with him this evening, so I think that things will start to fall into place.  As long as I can get him to be reliable with the relaxed posture in the house, I will try and take him for a short walk tomorrow... we may not make it out of the driveway, but it will be a start.

Although a bit blurry, this is closer to how we want him to look... ears forward, mouth close, eyes focused on us.  Not the greatest picture, but you get the idea!

  1. Yeah, he was doing great, but kept looking toward the other room where you were for reassurance.

  2. P.S. The kong today was a HUGE success, so I think I will continue that trend! Also I am reading "How to Behave so that your dog behaves" Dr. Sophia Yin DVM MS. I highly recommend it for anyone who is trying to train an animal.
