Week 8 for Nova:
Well here we are at the end. It has been an emotional rollercoaster between us and here we are again just a little misty eyed that our bundle of joy is leaving. Nova has melted every ones heart here. She is a rockstar and we love her so much, her growth since she has been here is amazing. When she got here she was so scared she wouldn’t even eat or even go potty. Now she lives for all the intention. Her cgc went good this week. I was happy, it wasn’t perfect but I’m not perfect. I was very proud of her. She is going to make a great addition to any home. She has made us all grow!!!

Cgc test today. Went good, not perfect but awesome compared to where we started from. Nova is a very smart dog and she enjoys going through her commands. She makes it easy.

​
We have worked hard with Yukon and he is doing amazing both with us and with other handlers. He remains an energetic, fun loving soul who loves to surprise you, however his stimulus control is really getting good. I wish we would have had dogs that his energy would have worked with for play. We did not get to see him with other dogs, but he has never acted any thing but excited about other dogs, even when they act crazy about him, he does not care.
Journal Entry:
We have been working with other handlers allowing them to work with Yukon and he is doing really well with them. He loves to please.

Weekly Summary Week Seven
Wilson has come a long way since his arrival here. With only about a week remaining of training, we are going to do everything we can to get him ready for adoption. He has transformed a lot from day 1, from his pulling on the lead, to his response to his name called. He has done great at learning sit, down, stay, stand, come, and soon to be a few tricks. Wilson has spent a good amount of time indoors this week due to the hot weather, and when he’s not training, he loves to cuddle and relax by his handlers. He is going to make someone such a happy dog owner, and I think if he finds another dog, and warms up to them, he will make a best friend quick. Wilson and Charlie have had a great time being together. It really showcases his fun, play side that every owner wants to see in the dog. The plan for the coming week is to get Wilson CGC ready, although I think he will already do fantastic. Also we will be teaching him a few tricks.
7/31/24 Daily Journal Entry
During the circle today Wilson did fantastic on all of his skills and commands. His come-about is improving and CGC’s 1, 2 and 3 are amazing. We even did introduction to another dog, Charlie in this case. And knowing how much Wilson and Charlie love each other, I expected them both to break, wanting to play, but they both stayed in sits while handlers shook hands, very impressive.

Weekly Summary Week 7 :
This week Charlie has been doing exceptionally well. Charlie still struggles a bit with engagement due to having a great personality and waiting to say hi to everyone. Charlie and Wilson are also best friends so when they see each other it can be a big distraction in circles. We will be working this week on giving less treats to Charlie to prepare him for his final CGC test next Saturday. Charlie seems to respond quite well with all the commands except stand-stay inspection without using treats. We hope with a lot of work this week he will be ready for his test.
8/3/24 Daily Journal Entry
Today Charlie seemed to be adjusting okay to us giving him less treats for rewards. We have been practicing all the CGC’s with him and he’s doing great. The only thing that he still seems to struggle with is CGC 3 which is standing inspection. He lacks duration. That’s something that the team is focused on practicing with him..

Junebug

Weekly Summary Week 7 :
​
Week 7 has come quick and Junebug is getting close to leaving with a whole new set of skills and obedience training. When she originally came to us, she was not savvy of basic skills such as loose lead walking, basic commands, or keeping attention. She use to grab the lead and try to play tug of war with her handlers and wasn’t fond of calm walking. With a lot of patience and determination we have tackled a lot of issues such as this and now she is one of the most obedient dogs I have trained and is always walking on my side. She stills has some work to be done when it comes to kennel training and her separation anxiety. We have improved this a lot with some high value or toys/chew bones in her kennel but still needs consistent monitoring.
I noticed that she loves to get quick hellos from everyone she passes but doesn’t want to get to much affection. On the other hand, if she knows you well and is familiar, she will want lots of attention and love. She loves to play fetch and she always brings the toys back for you to throw them again. Sometimes she likes to play keep away but nothing a little treat won’t convince her otherwise of. She enjoys walking around and sniffing new areas. Whenever we see turkeys or deer, she gets hyper focused and loves to watch them silently for as long as you’ll let her.
Junebug knows all her basic skills (sit, stay, down, come, recall, heel, stand, come-about). She does well with distractions and a firm ‘leave it’ command and she will come back to you, sometimes you need to give it a few moments and a little pull on the lead. As for tricks she knows bang (hand shaped like a gun and pointed at her), shake, double shake (with a kibble in your left hand, and one hand out), and jaws (use your left hand and imitate a mouth biting motion), and a little bit of spin, (which spin your hand around her head quickly).
I think Junebug will make a great dog for someone who wants a nice calm energy dog, who’s willing to spend a lot of quality time with her, whether it’s playing fetch, letting her chew on toys, or nice walks outside, she will love the company. She will do great with families in my opinion, and other smaller dogs, but I am unsure of how she will do with other big dogs like her. She likes to be the alpha of the pack. She plays great with all of the other littler dogs here.
10/5/24 Daily Journal Entry
Junebug did great on her CGC! She maintained her duration and manners through the test. During cgc 8 (interaction to another dog), she got a little excited and wanted to play with her friend Brittany, but with a quick command she listened and sat at my side. She did so good she got a peanut butter biscuit treat at the end. What a good Junebug!

Frappe
Weekly Summary- Week Seven
This week was all about preparing Frappe for her final evaluation before she leaves. It was a great week for her. We all worked very hard and it showed. Frappe did exceptionally well on her CGC test. With her getting ready to leave, we thought it would be a good idea to prepare her for Halloween by getting her used to costumes. She got to wear a little vampire costume and looked adorable trying to do her tricks in it. We are all really going to miss her when she leaves, but we know she is going to make one lucky family very happy.
10/05/24 Daily Journal Entry
It was the big day today, Frappe’s Canine Good test! She did amazing! Frappe was by far the star of the show and outperformed everyone else, and outdid even my expectations for her. A perfect 10!
