Thanks so much Mike….Ester is doing much better. She will still be a little reactive about strange dogs when food is around but we are now able to read her very well.

Here’s her at work w/ a new Boxer puppy…much more her level.

You can see she is still the one in charge but not as reactive.

Here is a small video of her in class….it seems to be the clueless little foo foos that she wants to beat up (the Shih Tzu pup and a little Norwich terror)
The bigger dogs she is just strutting around by.

This really never seems to happen at work w/ me….she is also really submissive and friendly w/ dogs she meets on walks.

She does seem to be food reactive if it’s a strange dog though.
I can set up a video that shows that if you’d like to see it.

Here’s the one from class….

If they won’t separate her next time (and put her with the bigger pups) then I will just not bring her til 16 weeks where she can go in the family dog class.

Thanks so much!!!

Well, now at work we are keeping her tethered to the door so she can meet the grooming dogs as they come in and out but not rough house with them.
Whenever she is playing w/ the Boston now….she is ferocious after a bit and really bites him to where he is yelping. He keeps going over to her to start wrestling though.

She is still VERY mouthy w/ any new people (even though she has gotten better about doing it to me).

So far my plan is to not let them wrestle (when I can) and to keep her tethered to me or in a crate.
We are practicing seated greetings while she is tethered.

I plan to wait until she is 4.5 months to take her back to class….at that age she can go into the Family Dog 1 class where there is no free roaming playtime.

Any ideas??

Thanks, Crystal
