Chesty~
General~
I brought a radio controlled spider in to class with me today.
Waldo~will be going out with WPR Sandy overnight this week to return on Saturday. We are still concerned about the behavior with the rawhide toy, but cannot recreate it with anything else. Waldo was interested in the spider, but didn't break any commands to approach.
Star~her behavior is back to normal, all commands are coming along nicely. She is still fearful of motorized things like the vac, floor scrubber, but on a more intermittent basis, and with less outward signs. She was fearful of the spider, possibly because of the noise that it made. I left it with the liason so that Mark could work with it again.
Chesty~AJ and I had a long conversation about Chesty today and decided to cut down his "outside time" now that his critical socialization period has come to an end. He will still go out of the facility with WPR Dawn, but not for extended periods and will discontinue daycare. He's hit puberty hard and is indifferent to voice and collar correction, forcing us to go back to food and a more motivated style. Chesty is still bullying General during play and AJ was told to interrupt those interactions by keeping him on a long line and calling him out of the play.
General~Doing well, is still easily distracted but refocusing well. Will be in the facility this weekend.
