I haven't written in a while because I have been busy :(. Logan just started his "Reactive Dog Class" this past Tuesday. He was very nervous on the car ride there like normal and was very unsure when we got out of the car. I was walking him around outside and the instructor came over toward him. He gave a soft, low growl at first but when she bent down he went to sniff her.

When we got inside the building he was very nervous, pacing around, whining and trembling. He did this the entire night. Despite this he did very well giving me attention and doing what was asked of him. He only let out a bark or two at the beginnin of class and overall seemed interested in the other dogs.

I can't wait until this coming Tuesday to see how he is...

On Sunday we took Logan to his fourth play group. When we pulled up the other play group was just finishing up so we waited in the car. He saw the other dogs and was very good. I sat in the backseat with him and gave him treats when he looked at the other dogs without reacting.

When we got out of the car he was over-excited and barking as usual. We got into the yard and went to our corner to work on calming him down. He is definitely calming down quicker each time which is great. He did really good with most of the dog but there was one Buddy (a Puggle, who he continually wanted to run, lunge and bark at. The trainer thought this was because Buddy was running around a lot and was very active. The other dogs were active at times as well just not quite as much. By the end he was relatively close to Buddy without reacting a few times so that was great. He starts a Shy & Fearful class on Thursday. I am hoping this will help!
