Hello, I just wanted to send a quick update on Nulla. She is doing so well!
We started a dog training course where my boyfriend and I are the alpha dogs. There is not treats involved and it has shown amazing results. Nulla has been in the course for about a month now. We have had no eating problems from her (no barfing, no not eating what we set our for her), no behavioral problems (no chewing my shoes, etc). She seems so happy and I am sure she is gaining weight (although I have not weighed her).
I think dog training is completely necessary and we've seen HUGE results in Nulla. Everything I posted about before is no longer a concern. Thanks for all the input though. Take Care 🙂
Bailey is eating with the pack
-
If you recall, my Basenji, Bailey, has been quite a handful. I posted information in the health section, but her problems aren't health related.
-Bailey for the past couple of days has been eating with the pack!
She isn't too interested in me feeding her.
-Bailey has also stopped being so aggressive and snarky - I didn't say she has completely stopped - but the clicker training has made a huge difference in her behavior. When she starts to act out, Bailey looks at me to see my reaction, then stops.
-Bailey seems much more attached to me since I was injured breaking up the Basenji fight. She seems very concerned about my leg and wants to be as close to me as she can get. That's also an improvement.
-Bailey has been more playful and I think she is beginning to understand SHE IS HOME!!! All the dogs are so much happier with Bailey, too.Thank you all for good advice. Y'all helped me through a hard time and every day I'm thankful I changed my mind about putting her down.
