Super proud of Rufus this week! He is so very clever, loves learning ans showing off his tricks, along with some beautiful heel work.
BUT this week he let me stroke him. He is not a fan of being stroked by anyone other than 'his people'. I never try, we interact by playing and training. This week he had a break and laid on the floor next to me, so I gave his chest a little tickled, he stayed relaxed. If I ventured away from the small area on his chest he either lip licked or moved his paw. As soon as he did this I stopped. He would ask for more tickles. And repeat. You could see his brain processing what was happening. He communicated and I listened. Soon enough he was happy to lay back and close his eyes, seemingly content that he knew he could ask me to stop at any moment and I would do so.

Rufus is one smart little dude! He loves learning tricks and picks them up so easily! I have used targeting to get him to close or open a door. He is very weary of things moving around him but is so focused when learning that he forgets to be scared. Having an expanding repertoire is also helping him to cope in other situations he is unsure about too.
What should trick I teach him next??

I have been working with Rufus for a few months now. He gets worried by people coming into his house and is noise sensitive. We have been working on building his confidence and helping his humans understand his behaviour. Everyone has put so much into helping Rufus and they can really see that is much more contented in life and able to cope with difficult situations easier!
