Some things I noted ... just because (but are probably coincidental) are:
1) Rhiya hasn't charged the fence at every little noise she hears when we go outside to potty or play.
2) Rhiya didn't seem to pace or pant quite as much... (But again, this could be coincidental, or wishful thinking.)
Last night we worked on just running through some of her basic commands since the CARE protocol* starts out simple with these things and learning how to keep her under threshold. And it's also best to wait to get further into the exposure steps of the CARE protocol until the medication has had time to build up in Rhiya's system. So, for now, we are refreshing our basic training within the comfort of our own home and yard and working up to these things.
Within the next couple days we are planning to start working on transitioning her targeting training/skills to targeting items I point to. This will then aid in me teaching her to help me close doors like the dishwasher, dryer, fridge, and others so she can "help" out around the house. I'll keep you all updated. Not sure if with will be daily or every 2-3 days, but there will definitely be multiple posts each week so we can keep on track. :-)
