4LEGGED FULL LIFE HARMONY

Our 4Legged Full Life Harmony is separated into nine main units: day to day skills, exercise, fun and games, sports, travels, exposure/socialization, goals and activities we want to attend, trouble spots and one unit for me: record keeping.

RECORD KEEPING
To keep track of Maizey's Progress I have created a series of Google Charts. One covers all nine units of Maizey's 4Legged Full Life Harmony plan. The others are to track reactivity.

Here is a snap shot of the L3 Levels part of her progress report:

Click on 4Legged Full Life Harmony Progress Reports to scope out the complete progress reports and feel free to use what seems useful to you in your record keeping*.

Maizey's Progress Reports are just for Maizey and I to use, but the rest are for public consumption.

My posts on organization will still be listed under the label: "plans, contrivances, and projects".

Maizey's Training Levels Tests will continue to be recorded in the Training Levels Tracker.

4.) TRAVELS
Hopefully if I can get her calm and comfortable in many of theses situations it will generalize to situations with dogs too, thus helping the reactivity. Also if I have a goal of a place to go and what to do there I think this will reinvigorate my training.

MAIZEYS REACTIVE SESSIONS RECORDS
Reactive Sessions Log
Notes for Details Of Reactive Sessions

BRAINSTORMS
Can I train somehwere they have dogs and ask them to keep their dogs in the house. . .
?'s FOR EDIE
???what about VST seminar as a goal to socialization or taking a 1/2 hour class?

???what about sundays ring rental for socialization?
???CAN I USE PREMACK-SHE PARK IT I WILD SHE RELEASED TO BE WILD WITH ME???
???once she starts reacting she keeps reacting. It can start genuine like with the golden, but then transfers to people, bikes, scooters etc.
???how much is too much to work a reactive dog? She seemed fine, doing 30 foot sit stays on film, but the minute she saw the golden it went down hill. I tried to get her out of the situation asap, but at that point she was reacting to everything she saw.
???SOLUTION:set up crate and be able to cover it and put her in it while I load up??? But then will she just react in the crate???

Lessons From and For 4 Legs has moved to a new address: http://www.lessonsfrom4legs.com. Where we will continue to learn life's lessons from my little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel's, Maizey and Magnus. Don't miss Meeka's lessons too, by checking the archives of my big girl rescue Rottie. They all teach me so much!
