#but im remembering how loud mav was and he grew out of it pretty quickly

[abirddogmoment]

Two weeks with Aurora! Here's a recap of life so far.

Our targeted socialization was pretty successful, we managed a bunch of different experiences and she rocked them.

Monday: Busy street at rush hour

Tuesday: Train station

Wednesday: Construction site

Thursday: Bike path next to train line

Friday: Outside a coffee shop

Saturday: Baby hike in the wild

She's still doing great in overall good citizen behaviours. She has specifically been crushing:

✅ Sleeping through the night

✅ Name recognition

✅ Basic training skills

✅ Recovering from being startled

✅ Being crated quietly

Honestly she's doing amazing, I am so so proud of her. 💜

Areas for improvement for the week include:

✴ Bullying Pike (which is improving but still not great)

✴ Demand barking and overall noise level

✴ Chewing on the couch in excitment

Our biggest victories this week include:

🎉 Baby hike 2.0 with beautiful ranging, reasonable baby recall, and great enthusiasm

🎉 Calling off play with Pike on multiple occasions

Our big goals for next week:

🚀 Less harassment of Pinecone

🚀 Working through the foundation levels of the baby conditioning class I'm taking

Really excited for the next few weeks with this girl! 💜

#dogblr #rory borealis #about aurora #she is snuggling really really well without biting me #and she 'asked' for a training session the other night which was soooo sweet #i want to take her on the train today #and i want to take her to see some blow up xmas ornaments before theyre put away for the year #i would love for her to stop barking #but im remembering how loud mav was and he grew out of it pretty quickly #so im hoping she grows out of it as well #the conditioning class is pretty cool! #its for dogs 8 weeks to 8 months #conditioning is a weak spot of mine - i dont know enough to work through it on my own #so i think this was a great purchase #im excited to work through it this winter #i feel like if any dog can use more body awareness and core strength its probably a brittany #this photo is from last week by the way we have like no snow left
