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 VIDEO!
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 7 04/08-04/14
This week was primarily focused on getting ready for Webster’s final CGC’s as well as continuing to shape tricks. When we first started working towards the MOC CGC’s Webby had a hard time working for no reward because we don’t use kibble during CGC’s so it was time to start fading them out. After a few sessions of no kibble, we went to only 5-6 pieces to keep him rewarded and engaged. During the next couple of days he started performing much better in each MOC circle as he got used to working only for praise and engagement. Today Webby passed his final CGC’s with a 10/10 and did a great job! I was proud of his engagement and struggles that we both worked hard to overcome during the final test. Webby is such a sweet, loving boy who would never harm a soul. He loves his food, cuddles, and toys more than anything! Webby is very much ready to go out and find his forever home!

Since the dogs are on their way out and CGC’s are coming up, today is our last day of doing circles. We will now focus on CGC’s as well as continuing to work and shape tricks. Webster’s tricks are coming along well, but he is still needing a lure to perform bow and roll over. Webby will do touch (holding your palm out saying “touch” and he hits it with his nose) without a lure, and he’ll do spin. To perform spin, you take your pointer finger and spin it in a circle above his head telling him “spin.” He has been doing such a great job working as we fade out his food reward during training sessions. Webby is such a smart boy who is satisfied as he makes his people proud!

CGC VIDEO! (coming soon)
Weekly Summary: Week 7 4/9 – 4/15
This was Wally’s final working week. He has come a long ways. He does very well on obeying all his commands. Wally received a 10/10 on his CGC test. He still has room for improvement on his training but the foundation is there. He enjoys people and loves saying high to everyone he sees. His energy levels can still be very high at times but with a positive outlet they are kept in check. Wally loves to cuddle and loves to lay around with his handlers after some exercise. Wally also loves the water we sprayed him off with the hose after play and he just sits biting at the water and lapping it up. He checks in often when off lead and loves to come when recalled. Wally is a loving, caring, young dog and would be a great addition to someone’s home who has a lot of energy and is active.
4/12/24 Daily Journal Entry
Today we worked on Wally’s CGC’s. He does well with his commands but seems to check out sometimes without being rewarded regularly. Wally was able to follow most of his commands but struggled with his inspections and the dog on dog interaction. We will try to continue to build up his duration time between rewards and instead give him a small bowl of food after training sessions. We also spent the day outside playing Frisbee and enjoying the nice weather. We also found out Wally loves the water after running around we sprayed him off with the hose to cool him down and he loved it.

Buster
Final summery
To sum up buster, he is an amazing dog. He’s goofy, he’s a lover and he’s pretty dang smart. If you’re thinking of adopting this dog, you will not be disappointed. He has a great personality and a good temperament. His only hang up is he’s awkward around other dogs sometimes. A meet and greet will needed to ensure compatibility.
We all really love this dog and I know he will make a great addition to anyone’s family.

Blackbeard (BB)
Weekly Summary: Week 7: 4/8/24-4/12/24
Blackbeard had a busy week this week. He spent a lot of time doing mock CGC tests with all of the handlers on the team. He spent time getting generalized to the new tricks that he learned, “bang” and “spin”. He loves to do them! He has a favorite position to lay in as well and we have a couple of names for it, frog-dog and bear rug. He lays on his stomach with his back legs kicked out straight and his head on the ground. He is a hoot! We are proud of the progress he has made with us here in the PAWS program. He did great on his final test and are excited for him to start his next chapter and find himself a forever home.

BB had a good day today. He spent some time working on all of the commands he has learned. He did really well in the training circles. He spent some time today in the back circle just enjoying some sun and chewing on a rubber Kong toy. His reactivity is less frequent and gets worked on immediately if it surfaces. His final test will be this Sunday, He’s going to do great! We do not put any blankets in his kennel with him because he does have a tendency to chew on them. We recommend that he doesn’t have any blankets with him while he is in there. Even if he has acceptable chew toys he still does it. We have been working on it but it hasn’t been curbed yet. This is one of the behaviors that needs more attention upon leaving the PAWS program.
