Pepper is a six month old Lab/Welsh Corgi that was adopted by an 80 year old woman named Jean. Pepper has been well socialized and just loves people and other dogs. Pepper easily learned obedience commands and is very bonded to Jean. The areas she would like to focus on are his nipping and jumping and teaching him the boundaries of his underground fencing system so he can get some much needed aerobic exercise. Pepper’s owner lives on a beautiful lake but Pepper seems to prefer heading for the road instead of playing in her big backyard or in the lake.
Jean really loves Pepper but her large enthusiastic family is getting a little too involved with her relationship with him.This has been making things more difficult for Pepper to understand what is expected him. I plan on meeting with some of Jean’s family to clean up any confusion on what is appropriate for Pepper and Jean. I put Jean on a strict schedule with very specific instructions for walking, training and bonding with him. She has her instructions, and being the long time nurse that she was, will follow them as if they were doctors orders. She is a lovely person. Pepper and her family are very lucky to have her and I’m looking forward to next weeks session.
