First introduction to the pack at the rehab centre

Rehab Day 8

Day 8.. opening day of the second week of our pack structure training program!!! This morning we did 10km run, daily walk including our usual training routine, during which we mainly focused on fixing the issues I mentioned yesterday!!! Nero showed slight change in his overall behaviour! It included less tension and more focus on me, which means less unnecessary eye contacts with Tyson!!! Altough, there was a moment during the training, where he lost complete control over himself and picked the fight, I still give him a credit for today's work!!

During his first week, he was very challenging towards me. Would not give in, even after recieving many repeated hard corrections!! This week, he started to be more receptive!! And that's the biggest number one change in him!!!!!!

During this first two weeks of our rehab, both dogs are completely suspended from bite work training, are not allowed any interaction with other dogs or human, and haven't been given any affection!!!

Nero more relaxed walking on the opposite side of the leg now
P.S...no problems during evening walk or feeding...:)
