KellyAnn Romanych (she/her)Waiting for one of your people to safely come home
Sensing & sharing the evening breezes before we heat up again. Glad to see Geo's face relaxed. He took a longer neighborhood walk today & was startled by a dog & his human. We used our leash and hand signs to work as a team to turn around, get more comfortable distance, and to play away the stress.
Geo was 3 months when he adopted us from the shelter. We've all grown in unexpected ways these last 8 months. Next month, Geo will be a year old. When we hit rough spots, we rely on love to help us find the right path ๐ซถ
MilesAdvantage of having a deaf dog: I can say All The Words without him overhearing. I can talk about going Outside, getting Treats, having Walkies.
And then I can forget myself at the dog park have have 3 dogs dash over to me when I say the T-word.

When one of your people has to leave on an errand, you watch them until they are out of sight.
We finally have hand signal routine down so Geo understands we will be back.
My view early this morning when we all discovered a huge moving van two doors down & blocking the small street. It's been a rough day while waiting for them & the rain to clear :/

I've been trying coconut oil as a scent for Geo--and it's helping him relax, slow down, and NAP! This is him over a span of 4 hours! It's been an easy addition to the other things we do to reduce reactivity & grow confidence. Coming up on 11 months old ๐ซถ
Sharing in case it might help you & your pups
