Two Blondes

Well, I’ve moved to St. Petersburg and started my new job! Bruce (sadly) is still up in Gainesville with Aldo. My house needed a bit of work, and it would have been too much for him for all the tradesmen to be coming in and out of the house. Instead, I have Nana (two blondes…

Proud.

Yesterday I went down to St. Petersburg for a home inspection, so Bruce and Nana went into boarding. My Bruce is a strange boy – he is incredibly nervous outside and protective of our home, but he LOVES the vet and boarding kennel (we use Sun Kiva Kennels in Hawthorne, FL – the owner has…

New Blog! New Life Updates!

Haven’t posted in a while because I was trying to focus on defending my thesis – did that on Thursday, woohoo! I still can’t devote a ton of time to this blog because my actual written thesis is due in two weeks, but here is a quick Bruce update! I’ve migrated his blog over to…

Follow-up Meeting with Kayla

Originally posted 2/5/16 On Wednesday (the 3rd) we had a Skype meeting with Kayla so she could see our progress with Look and Mat. Bruce actually did really well – way better than I was expected him to do in front of the camera 🙂 First, we looked at how he was doing with Mat….

Behaviorist Appointment: Look and Relax

Originally posted 1/31/16 Uffda! I have a feeling every post is going to start with “ugh I’m so bad at diaries, sorry!”.

Anyways, Bruce and I went down to Stuart on the 20th to see trainer extraordinaire/veterinary behaviorist-in-training/Bruce’s first…

Ups and Downs

Originally posted 1/17/2016 Eek it’s been over a week! I’m horrible at diaries. We took Nana and Bruce for another walk together on the 13th. He was fine with her again, and seemed okay with some other people we passed walking as well. We stepped off to the side when two kids were walking behind…

LEVEL UNLOCKED – Walk with Another Dog!

Originally Posted 1/7/2016 I was planning to do a post on Bruce’s history today (the first step in the CARE protocol – the “C” stands for “Consider your dog’s history”) but then he went and did something amazing today I’d rather share instead – go for a calm, friendly walk with another dog!  🙂 We…

New Blog – New Years Resolutions

Edit: I’ve moved Bruce’s blog from Weebly to WordPress due to annoyance with the set-up on Weebly. You should even be able to subscribe to our posts and get emails on Bruce updates! Thanks for reading, hope we help you in your own journey with a reactive dog! Welcome to our blog! Meet Bruce, short…
