Last night was the first night that Kody didn’t throw up and he seemed very comfortable. He was excited to get up this morning and we went on a full walk around the block. We still aren’t using treats while we get Kody gently back on a regular diet. He has hamburger and rice for [...]

I’ve been in a bit of a funk all day. Kody is definitely feeling better, but when he’s sick it’s very difficult for me. We just went outside for a break and a neighbor pulled up with a friend. Before he even got out of the car, Kody let out a little bark, so I [...]

This training has been so great because I’m learning new things every day and getting to know Kody so much better. Last time I think I talked about how Kody was a little nervous on parts of our walks and would not respond to the clicker right away. Instead he would stare intently at whatever [...]

Walk of Progress

We just got back from an interesting walk. One thing I’m learning to work with is Kody’s new lack of interest in treats. He’s still interested, but they don’t have the same motivational power they used to. It appears that with our new calmer walks he’s started actually processing our environment. Where he used to [...]
